Vita 34 AG: Exchange Offer PBKM - 95% Minimum Acceptance Rate Exceeded
Leipzig, 28 October 2021 - Vita 34 AG ("Vita 34") announces in connection with the voluntary public exchange offer by Vita 34 addressed to the shareholders of Polski Bank Komórek Macierzystych S.A., Warsaw, ("PBKM") that the total number of PBKM shares for which the exchange offer has been accepted as of 28 October 2021, 12.30 pm (CEST), plus the PBKM shares held by Vita 34 and its subsidiaries, plus the PBKM shares for which Vita 34 or its subsidiaries have entered into an agreement outside the exchange offer giving them the right to demand the transfer of title to such PBKM shares amounts to 9,090,625 PBKM shares. This corresponds to approximately 97.34% of the outstanding PBKM shares. Thus, the minimum acceptance rate of 95% of the PBKM shares under the exchange offer was exceeded and, subject to potential withdrawal rights, the relevant closing condition will therefore be fulfilled.
Subject to the fulfillment of the remaining closing conditions, the share exchange is expected to be completed until 15 November 2021. Based on the resolution of the extraordinary general meeting of Vita 34 held on 13 July 2021, the share capital of Vita 34 is expected to increase from EUR 4,145,959 by at least EUR 11,817,812 to at least EUR 15,963,771 by way of issuance of at least 11,817,812 new no-par-value registered shares.
