Nova Ljubljanska banka d.d., Ljubljana (“NLB” or the “Bidder”) hereby gives notice that, pursuant to Section 15 in connection with Section 25a of the Austrian Takeover Act (Übernahmegesetz, “ATA”), it has today published the amendment to the offering memorandum (Angebotsunterlage) in connection with the improvement of the Offer Price under the voluntary public takeover offer aimed at acquiring control of Addiko Bank AG (“Addiko” or the “Target”), an Austrian-listed bank operating across five CSEE markets (Austria, Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Serbia and Montenegro) (the “Offer”).
The improvement of the Offer consists of an increase of the Offer Price to EUR 37.00 per Addiko Share (cum dividend).
Addiko Shareholders who have already accepted the competing offer launched by Raiffeisen Bank International AG are again entitled to revoke their respective acceptance declarations until no later than four trading days before the end of the Acceptance Period and tender their shares into NLB's Offer.
NLB is actively and constructively cooperating with the relevant regulatory authorities. As part of this process, the NLB has already obtained clearances from three competition authorities (Austria, North Macedonia and Serbia), demonstrating tangible progress in fulfilling the conditions for successful completion of the transaction. The ongoing dialogue with regulators remains transparent and proactive, supporting our continued efforts to meet all necessary conditions in a timely manner.
