Mix and Match Elections

Report this content

On 5 December 2005, Eniro AB and Findexa Limited announced that the acquisition by Eniro to acquire the entire share capital of Findexa had become effective. It was also stated that the results of the Findexa shareholders` mix and match elections would be announced today.

The mix and match election was closed at 4.00 p.m. (CET) on Thursday, 1 December 2005. At that time, Findexa shareholders holding approximately 129.0 million Findexa shares at the scheme record time, representing approximately 63.5 percent of the existing issued share capital of Findexa, had elected to receive additional cash, and Findexa shareholders holding approximately 39.3 million Findexa shares at the scheme record time, representing approximately 19.4 percent of the existing issued share capital of Findexa, had elected to receive additional new Eniro shares. Accordingly, valid elections under the mix and match Election for additional cash have been scaled back pro rata, but election for additional new Eniro shares will be satisfied in full.

Based on the mix and match elections made by the shareholders in Findexa:

· Findexa shareholders who elected to receive as many new Eniro shares as possible under the mix and match Election will be entitled to receive approximately 0.439 Eniro shares for each Findexa share included in the mix and match election;

· Findexa shareholders who elected to receive as much cash as possible under the mix and match election will be entitled to receive approximately NOK 29.00 in cash and 0.039 Eniro shares for each Findexa share included in the mix and match election;

· Findexa shareholders who elected to receive the standard entitlement or who did not make any valid election under the mix and match election will receive the consideration of NOK 22.23 in cash and 0.132 Eniro shares for each Findexa share.

The cash consideration due under the offer is expected to be paid on or about December 9, 2005 and in any event no later than December 15, 2005. The Findexa shareholders will additionally receive interest of NOK 0.0032 per Findexa share held at the scheme record time, reflecting the interest earned on the cash held for the benefit of the Findexa shareholders since December 5, 2005.

The new Eniro shares due under the offer are expected to be transferred by December 9 to those Findexa shareholders who have returned a valid transfer instruction form to DnB NOR Bank ASA, (and, if necessary, opened a VP account in Sweden). The Eniro shares are listed on the O-list of the Stockholm Stock Exchange.

Findexa shareholders who have not returned a valid transfer instruction form (and, if necessary, a VP account opening form), should return it/them by post as soon as possible to DnB NOR Bank ASA, to enable DnB NOR Bank ASA to transfer the Eniro shares.

As a result of the mix and match election, funds managed by Texas Pacific Group, will only hold approximately 2.64 percent of Eniro’s enlarged share capital (including treasury shares). Based on this, Eniro has decided to waive the “lock-up” undertakings given by such funds so that they will be able to freely transfer the new Eniro shares that they will receive under the scheme.
