Measures against hostile takeover attempts
DGAP-Ad-hoc: Highlight Communications AG / Key word(s): Miscellaneous The Board of Directors of Highlight Communications AG has resolved temporary measures against hostile takeover attempts in the interests of the company and its minority shareholders. In particular, these measures are aimed at defending the company against takeover attempts by persons falsely presenting themselves in their legal dealings as members of executive bodies of affiliated companies. |
The measures resolved by the Board of Directors serve to ensure that, in the event of a hostile takeover attempt by such persons or third parties acting in concert with such persons, the company's material assets will be protected and access to these assets will be withheld from the aforementioned parties and secured for the company.
To this end, the company has granted options to two independent foundations to temporarily acquire a majority of the ordinary shares of the TEAM Group and Constantin Film AG for such a case. The company has taken care to ensure that the material economic interests of the company and its minority shareholders are safeguarded.
