· Holders of the 2004 perpetual capital securities (NL 0000116374) accept for 60%, or EUR 89.4 million, Van Lanschot's offer to exchange these securities for Senior Notes, which underlines investor's long-term confidence in Van Lanschot's stability
· This transaction and the repurchase of the 2005 Securities results in an improvement of the Core Tier I ratio by approximately 25 bps
Constant Korthout, CFO/CRO Van Lanschot: "In September, Van Lanschot decided to make investors an offer to sell for cash or exchange its outstanding perpetual capital securities. The supervisory authorities sanctioned these transactions partly based on Van Lanschot's solid capital and liquidity position. For investors, this offered the opportunity to exit an illiquid security. For Van Lanschot, the transaction further improved the quality of its capital base through the creation of core capital, in anticipation of the new Basel III requirements. The uptake on the offer for the 2005 Securities was very successful, as also applies to the offer for the 2004 Securities. The massive interest of investors in the offer to exchange the securities for Senior Notes due 2018, underlines investor's long-term confidence in Van Lanschot's stability."
On 29 September 2011, F. van Lanschot Bankiers N.V. (the Company) invited holders of its outstanding EUR 165,000,000 Perpetual Capital Securities (the 2004 Securities) to either (i) offer to exchange any and all of such 2004 Securities for Euro denominated 2.25 per cent. Senior Notes due 2018 (the New Exchange Securities) to be issued by the Company (the Exchange Offer) or (ii) tender any and all of their 2004 Securities for purchase by the Company for cash (the Tender Offer, and together with the Exchange Offer, the Offers).
The Offers were made on the terms and subject to the conditions and restrictions set out in the Offer Memorandum dated 29 September 2011. Capitalised terms used in this announcement, but not defined, have the meanings given to them in the Offer Memorandum.
