Calida Holding AG aims at full takeover of LAFUMA SA

Calida Holding AG announces the intention to launch a buy-out tender offer followed by a squeeze-out for all outstanding shares of its subsidiary LAFUMA SA, listed on Euronext in Paris/France. Calida Holding AG currently holds 93.50% of the share capital and voting rights of LAFUMA SA. Calida Holding AG is offering the public shareholders of LAFUMA SA a price of EUR 17.99 for each LAFUMA share, corresponding to a premium of 5.7% over the VWAP (volume-weighted average price) of the last 60 calendar days. The total transaction volume amounts to EUR 8.2 million.

Irrespective of the outcome of the public tender offer, Calida Holding AG plans to carry out a squeeze-out procedure (cancellation) for all LAFUMA SA shares not tendered in the public tender offer at the same price offered in the public tender offer. For public shareholders of LAFUMA SA who do not tender their shares in the public tender offer, this means that the shares held by them will be cancelled and they will receive compensation in the amount of the offer price in accordance with the public tender offer.

The draft offering prospectus will be available on the website of the French financial market regulator (AMF) at www.amf-france.org and CALIDA GROUP at www.calidagroup.com.

The offer and the draft offering prospectus are subject to review by the AMF.
