The Offer is not being made, and this press release may not be distributed, directly or indirectly, in or into, nor will any tender of shares be accepted from or on behalf of shareholders in Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, Canada, New Zealand, the United States or South Africa, or any other jurisdiction in which the making of the Offer, the distribution of this press release or the acceptance of any tender of shares in the Offer would contravene applicable laws or regulations or require further offer documents, filings or other measures in addition to those required under Swedish law.
On 2 April 2024, the Ellevio group, through Ellevio Holding 1 AB (“Ellevio”) together with its subsidiaries (the “Ellevio Group”), announced a public offer to the shareholders of Dala Energi AB (publ) (“Dala Energi”) to tender all shares in Dala Energi to Ellevio at a price of SEK 90 per share (the “Offer”).
The offer document relating to the Offer was published on 4 April 2024 (the “Offer Document”). Today, 6 May 2024, Ellevio publishes a supplement to the Offer Document (the “Supplement Document”). The Supplement Document has been prepared due to Dala Energi’s press release on 6 May 2024 with the statement about the Offer from the independent bid committee of Dala Energi, according to which all shareholders are recommended to not accept the Offer, and the fairness opinion that has been obtained regarding the Offer. The conclusion of the fairness opinion is that the Offer is not fair from a financial perspective for Dala Energi's shareholders.
The Supplement Document is together with the Offer Document available in Swedish on Ellevio’s website www.framtidens-energi.se. The Supplement Document shall be read in conjunction with and constitutes an integral part of the Offer Document in all respects.
