Nikon Corporation: Acceptance Period of Nikon's Public Takeover Offer for SLM Commences: SLM Shareholders can Tender Their Shares from Today - Seite 2

 

Completion of the Takeover Offer is contingent on foreign investment control clearances, no insolvency of SLM, and no capital measures other than for certain exceptions. The Takeover Offer is not subject to a minimum acceptance threshold.

 

In the investment agreement that Nikon and SLM have signed on September 2, 2022, Nikon has committed in a legally binding manner to not enter into a domination and/or profit and loss transfer agreement for at least three years. Following the successful completion of the Takeover Offer, to the extent commercially reasonable and market conditions permitting, Nikon intends to examine whether to initiate a delisting of SLM.

 

The Takeover Offer is made on and subject to the terms and conditions set out in the offer document, the publication of which has been permitted by BaFin.

 

In addition, the Bidder today published the offer document for the parallel voluntary public tender offer for the acquisition of certain convertible bonds issued by SLM (the “Bonds Offer”), which sets out the terms and conditions for the Bonds Offer. Neither the Bonds Offer nor the publication of the offer document relating to the Bonds Offer require approval by BaFin, and it has not been reviewed or approved by BaFin.

 

The offer documents (together with a non-binding English translation) and other information pertaining to the Takeover Offer as well as the Bonds Offer will be made available on the following website: www.dm-offer.com. Details as to how the Takeover Offer and Bonds Offer can be accepted are set out in the respective offer documents.

 

To tender their shares and/or convertible bonds, SLM shareholders and/or bondholders should contact their respective custodian bank.
