Notice of rights offer to EXOR shareholders
EXOR hereby gives notice that the withdrawal right in connection with the cross-border merger of EXOR with and into EXOR HOLDING N.V. (the “Merger”), a wholly-owned Dutch subsidiary of EXOR, which will, upon effectiveness of the Merger, be renamed “EXOR N.V.” (“EXOR NV”), was validly exercised in relation to n. 1,170 shares (the “Shares”), equal to approximately 0,0005% of the existing shares, for a total amount of Euro 36,544.716, at the withdrawal price of Euro 31.2348 per share, established pursuant to Article 2437-ter, paragraph 3 of the Italian Civil Code (the “Withdrawal Price”).
In accordance with Italian law, the Shares must be offered, at the Withdrawal Price, to EXOR shareholders who did not exercise their withdrawal right (the “Offer”). The Offer period will begin on 11 October 2016 and end on 9 November, inclusive. Shareholders exercising their option right within the Offer will also be entitled to exercise their pre-emptive right in the purchase of the Shares which might remain unsold, provided that they so request simultaneously to the exercise of their option right.
Should the number of Shares requested under the pre-emptive right be greater than the number of residual shares, an allotment will be made among all shareholders pro rata to the number of EXOR shares held.
Additional terms and conditions of the Offer are set forth in a specific notice, published today by EXOR, according to the applicable laws and regulations, on its website (www.exor.com) and filed with the Turin Companies’ Register.
The effectiveness of the Merger – envisaged by the end of 2016 – and, consequently, the settlement of the shares purchased within the Offer are subject to the satisfaction (or the waiver) of the conditions precedent set out in the common merger plan approved by the extraordinary meeting of shareholders of EXOR, held on 3 September 2016, including the amount of cash to be paid by EXOR (a) to EXOR’s shareholders who exercised their withdrawal right pursuant to Article 2437-quater of the Italian Civil Code in relation to the Merger and/or (b) to EXOR’s creditors who exercised their creditor opposition rights to the Merger, pursuant to the law, not exceeding in the aggregate Euro 400 million.
