Heliad Equity Partners GmbH & Co. KGaA (DE000A0L1NN5/ WKN A0L 1NN,
'Heliad') published an ad hoc notice on 1 December 2009 announcing its
plans to merge with TIG Themis Industries Group GmbH & Co. KGaA (ISIN:
DE000A0XYL04, 'TIG').
In the first phase of this process, Heliad increased its share capital by
issuing new shares that were offered in exchange to selected TIG
shareholders on a 1 to 1 basis under a private placement. 72.27% of TIG's
share capital was tendered under the private placement, as announced in our
corporate news of 18 December 2009.
The remaining TIG shareholders will also have the opportunity to tender
their TIG shares to Heliad on a 1 to 1 basis under a voluntary public
exchange offer. The prospectus required for this voluntary public exchange
offer has been approved by the German Federal Financial Supervisory
Authority (BaFin).
The remaining TIG shareholders will therefore be able to exchange their TIG
shares for Heliad shares on a 1 to 1 basis starting on 22 February 2010.
The exchange offer does not fall under the rules of the German Securities
Acquisition and Takeover Act (WpÜG), since TIG shares are not traded on
organised markets, and subsection § 1(1) WpÜG stipulates that WpÜG only
applies to offers to acquire securities that are admitted to trading on an
organised market.
The offer document provides detailed information on the exchange offer and
the procedures followed, and is available free of charge from Heliad Equity
Partners GmbH & Co. KGaA, Grüneburgweg 18, D - 60322 Frankfurt am Main
