| Status of the voluntary takeover bid for Euskaltel's share capital
On 28th March 2021 MasMóvil announced its intention to launch a voluntary takeover bid for 100% of
Euskaltel's share capital. Shareholders representing 52,32% of the share capital have agreed to accept the bid.
MasMóvil stated in the announcement its intention to delist Euskaltel if the offer is successful
Euskaltel's Board of Directors signed on March 28th 2021 a collaboration agreement by which Euskaltel would be obliged to provide the offeror with the reasonably necessary support, within the limitations provided by law, to carry out the procedures related to the tender offer process and to prepare the documentation to be submitted by the bidder to the regulatory and competition authorities
During the process, Euskaltel's BoD is bound by the passivity rule (not to enter into any action which could jeopardize the takeover) and has also agreed to collaborate with the bidder
On 31st March 2021 MasMóvil submitted the application for authorization of the takeover bid to the CNMV and the CNMV has already agreed to initiate the review process
Euskaltel has appointed best-in-classfinancial and legal advisers (Citi, JP Morgan and Uría Menéndez) and created a special Committee with non-conflicteddirectors to monitor the bid process
Clearance by regulatory authorities, including anti-trust,and authorization of the takeover by the CNMV is still | |
pending | |
Euskaltel will continue to publicly disclose any developments of the takeover in accordance with applicable | |
regulations. Once the CNMV authorizes the takeover and the prospectus is published, Euskaltel's BoD will issue | |
a report with its opinion on the bid within 10 days, as required by law | |
The takeover process has caused the suspension of the FibreCo SPV award and the suspension of the | |
renegotiation of wholesale agreements. These suspensions have had a significant impact in the company's | |
