EQS-News 121 0 Kommentare Publication of the Joint Reasoned Statement of the Management and Supervisory boards of va-Q-tec AG concerning EQT Private Equity’s delisting tender offer - Seite 2

The Management and Supervisory boards share the Bidder’s conviction that this long-term growth strategy can best be facilitated by a delisting and thereby within an environment beyond the short-term focus and volatility of the capital markets. The delisting will enable va‑Q-tec to make decisions with a long-term perspective, independent of the capital market’s short-term expectations. Moreover, the delisting will enable a reduction in the regulatory overhead and administrative costs associated with maintaining the stock exchange listing of the va‑Q‑tec shares. For this reason, va-Q-tec will promptly apply for the revocation of the admission of the shares to trading on the Regulated Market (Prime Standard) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

Pursuant to Section 27 of the German Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act (WpÜG), the Joint Reasoned Statement of va-Q-tec’s Management and Supervisory boards has been published on the Internet on va-Q-tec’s website at https://va-q-tec.com/ under the heading “Investor Relations” in German and is also provided in a non-binding English translation.
