IMMOFINANZ: Supplementary statements by the Executive Board and Supervisory Board on CPIPG’s improved takeover offer

• Improved offer price of EUR 23.00 per share still too low
• CPIPG increased its investment in IMMOFINANZ to roughly 48.18% with the purchase of shares held by S IMMO
• Offer provides an exit option for investors in connection with the attainment of control

The Executive Board und Supervisory Board of IMMOFINANZ have issued supplementary statements on the announcement by CPI Property Group SA (CPIPG) of the increase in the offer price to EUR 23.00 per share (cum dividend) and increase in CPIPG’s investment in IMMOFINANZ to roughly 48.18% through the purchase of shares from S IMMO AG. The Executive Board und Supervisory Board still view the improved offer price as too low given the successful development of IMMOFINANZ and the current value of the company. Moreover, the offer price does not include an appropriate control premium in connection with CPIPG’s intention to attain control over IMMOFINANZ.

In statements issued today by the Executive Board and Supervisory Board of IMMOFINANZ, the Executive Board and Supervisory Board indicate that they also see the increased offer price of EUR 23.00 per IMMOFINANZ share and the related increased offer price for the convertible bonds of EUR 111,470.29 per nominal value of EUR 100,000.00 as not appropriate. The offer includes substantial discounts to all key indicators for the IMMOFINANZ share (IFRS book value, EPRA NAV and EPRA NTA), to the share price before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, and to the premiums offered for other public takeovers in the European real estate sector. It also fails to reflect the sustainable improvement in the key indicators for IMMOFINANZ‘s current business activities and the outlook for future development.

The purchase of all IMMOFINANZ shares held by S IMMO AG (via the subsidiary CEE Immobilien GmbH) in connection with the price increase will give CPIPG an investment of at least 48.18% after clearance of the transaction by the merger authorities and closing for the purchase – which will represent the attainment of a controlling investment in IMMOFINANZ. S IMMO has also agreed to sell all shares purchased (via CEE Immobilien) through its current partial takeover offer to CPIPG.

It is also highly probable that the offer will allow CPIPG to attain the majority of voting rights in IMMOFINANZ. This offer gives shareholders and convertible bondholders an exit option in connection with the attainment of control by CPIPG – above all for larger volume investments. Against this backdrop, the Executive Board would like to emphasise that the decision to accept or reject the offer must be made individually by each shareholder or convertible bondholder, especially taking into account the advantages and disadvantages as well as the investor’s personal situation and expectation for future development.

The detailed supplementary statement by the Executive Board, including factors in favour of and against the offer as well as the supplementary statement by the Supervisory Board and the offer document are available on the IMMOFINANZ website under: https://immofinanz.com/en/investor-relations/takeover-offers
