Amsterdam, 24 April 2025
EXOR ANNOUNCES OVERSUBSCRIBED TENDER
OFFER,
AS PART OF €1 BILLION SHARE BUYBACK PROGRAM
Exor N.V. (“Exor” or the
“Company”) announces the results of the Tender
Offer set out in the Offer Memorandum published by the Company on
26 March 2025 (the “Offer Memorandum”). The Tender
Offer closed at 17:40 CET on 23 April 2025.
22,965,749 Ordinary Shares were validly tendered
by Qualifying Shareholders in the Tender Offer and, following
application of the scaling-down mechanism set out in the Offer
Memorandum, 12,254,495 Ordinary Shares will be purchased at a price
per Ordinary Share of EUR 81.6027 (the Strike Price), for a total
consideration of EUR 1 billion. This represents 5.5% of the
Ordinary Shares issued in the share capital of Exor. The Strike
Price of the Tender Offer, determined in the manner described in
the Offer Memorandum is equal to the Reference VWAP +2%.
The aggregate value (at the Strike Price) of the
Ordinary Shares validly tendered by Qualifying Shareholders at a
price at or below the Strike Price (or as Strike Price Tenders)
exceeded EUR 1 billion, and hence the Tender Offer is
oversubscribed. Because the Tender Offer is oversubscribed, tenders
will be accepted as follows, in line with the Offer Memorandum:
- all
Strike Price Tenders will be purchased in full;
- all
tenders at a price below the Strike Price (excluding Strike Price
Tenders) will be purchased in full;
- tenders
at the Strike Price will be scaled down by 38.15% so that the total
consideration for the Ordinary Shares purchased in the Tender Offer
does not exceed EUR 1 billion; and
- all
tenders at a price higher than the Strike Price will be rejected
and will not be purchased in the Tender Offer.
The settlement of the Tender Offer is expected
to take place on or around 28 April 2025.
In accordance with the Irrevocable Undertaking
by Giovanni Agnelli B.V., 6,985,062 Ordinary Shares will be
purchased from Giovanni Agnelli B.V. as part of the Tender Offer.
After settlement, Giovanni Agnelli B.V. will hold 114,714,169
Ordinary Shares, representing 51.9% of the Ordinary Shares issued
in the share capital of the Company before the share
cancellation.
Following settlement, Exor will start the
process of cancelling the 12,254,495 Ordinary Shares acquired as
part of the Tender Offer and 950,000 Ordinary Shares currently held
in treasury, representing 6.0% of the Ordinary Shares issued in the
share capital of Exor. In addition, Exor will cancel the 6,985,062
Special Voting Shares to be retransferred to Exor in connection
with the Tender Offer and 1,462,186 Special Voting Shares currently
held in treasury.
Terms used but not defined in this announcement
have the meaning assigned to them in the Offer Memorandum.
Qualifying Shareholders whose Ordinary Shares
were validly tendered and accepted by the Company are still
entitled to participate at the forthcoming AGM, which will be held
on 22 May 2025, and cast their vote on such Ordinary Shares (and
any corresponding Special Voting Shares) in the usual manner,
provided that these Ordinary Shares were held in an intermediary
account participating in the Euronext Securities Milan system
(formerly known as Monte Titoli), or on the Company's Loyalty
Register, as applicable, on the record date.
