Laakirchen, 2 December 2015
The principal shareholder of Miba AG, Mitterbauer
Beteiligungs-Aktiengesellschaft (MBAG), and Miba AG have been informed by the
Regional Court of Wels that following expiry of the extended period for
acceptance of the voluntary takeover offer made by MBAG on 26 November 2015, the
decision was taken today to register the exclusion of shareholders
("Squeeze-out") on which a resolution was adopted at the general meeting of 12
October 2015. Registration of the Squeeze-out is expected to take effect on 3
December 2015. The final day for trading on the Vienna Stock Exchange is
expected to be 2 December 2015.
86,688 out of a total of 121,233 shares held in free float have been tendered
under the voluntary takeover offer made by MBAG, under the terms of which EUR
565 was offered for each preference share. As a result of this higher than
average acceptance rate, only approximately 2.7% of the shares held in free
float are affected by the squeeze-out procedure.
The remaining minority shareholders forced to sell their shares under the
Squeeze-out will receive a cash settlement of EUR 540.00 plus interest for each
Issue B Preference Share on the value date of 3 December 2015. Furthermore,
these shareholders will have a loan stock right (ISIN: AT0000A1HE84) booked to
their securities accounts. In the event no shareholder files an application
requesting that a review be conducted, these former shareholders will receive a
supplementary payment of EUR 25.00 for each loan stock right, thus bringing the
total for each share to EUR 565.
