10. Sonstige Kommentare:
On May 3, 2017, HNA Group (International) Asset Management Company Limited
("HNA") entered into several share purchase agreements with certain major
shareholders (the "Core Shareholders") of C-QUADRAT Investment AG ("C-QUADRAT")
for the acquisition of, in total, 1,831,261 shares ("Shares"), representing
41.97% of the shares and the voting rights in C-QUADRAT. The closing of these
transactions relating to the Shares ("Closing") is subject to certain conditions
precedent, inter alia, the non-objection by the Austrian Financial Market
Authority. Closing of these
transactions can take place at May 31, 2017 at the earliest; the long-stop date
for Closing is December 3, 2017. The conditional acquisition of the Shares by
HNA triggered the present major shareholding notification pursuant to section
91a para 1 no 3 of the Austrian Stock Exchange Act (Börsegesetz).
It is, however, not intended that the Shares are delivered to HNA at Closing.
Rather, at Closing, the Shares shall be contributed to Cubic (London) Limited
("Cubic"), which will issue new shares in Cubic to HNA ("Contribution I").
Further, it is intended that, inter alia, the following additional transactions
occur simultaneously with Contribution I, thus also at Closing:
- Cubic will increase its share capital and issue new shares to HNA ("Capital
Increase");
- the Core Shareholders will transfer their remaining shares in C-QUADRAT to
Cubic, which will issue new shares to the Core Shareholders ("Contribution II").
As a result of the implementation of Contribution I, the Capital Increase and
Contribution II, which will be notified pursuant to sections 91 et seq of the
Austrian Stock Exchange Act (Börsegesetz) separately, if and when applicable,
- HNA would hold approximately 74.8% of the shares and the voting rights in
Cubic;
- the Core Shareholders would hold approximately 25.2% of the shares and the
voting rights in Cubic;
- Cubic would hold approximately 98% of the shares and the voting rights in
C-QUADRAT.
HNA considers initiating (through Cubic) a squeeze-out of all remaining
shareholders (free float) of C-QUADRAT in order to obtain 100% of the shares in
C-QUADRAT, once the
transactions, as described above, will have been implemented.
