Advania receives competition clearance for the acquisition of Caperio Holding
Advania Holding AB (“Advania”), a company indirectly owned by Advania Invest AB (“Advania Invest”), announced on 27 April 2017 a recommended cash offer to the shareholders of Caperio Holding AB (publ) (“Caperio”) (the “Offer”).
Advania has now received the necessary competition clearance for completion of the Offer from the Swedish Competition Authority. As a result, completion of the Offer is no longer conditional upon receipt of necessary clearances from authorities.
The last day to accept the Offer is 29 May 2017. Duly completed acceptance forms shall be delivered or sent by post or as scanned copies and be received by Mangold Fondkommission AB no later than 17:00 (CET) on 29 May 2017.
Settlement will begin as soon as Advania has announced that the conditions for the Offer have been satisfied or that Advania has otherwise resolved to complete the Offer. Assuming that such an announcement is made no later than around 31 May 2017, settlement is expected to begin around
2 June 2017.
Advania reserves the right to extend the acceptance period for the Offer and to postpone the settlement date.
