Københavns Lufthavne A/S
Expectation of mandatory tender offer to all shareholders
Annoucement
Copenhagen, 13 September 2017
Københavns Lufthavne A/S ("CPH") has received notice on behalf of
Arbejdsmarkedets Tillægspension ("ATP"), Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan
("OTPP") and Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets ("MIRA") to the effect
that ATP and OTPP have entered into a conditional agreement on purchase of
shares in CPHs ultimate parent company, Kastrup Airport Parents ApS ("KAP").
KAP indirectly owns a controlling influence in CPH with an aggregate holding of
57.7 per cent of all shares and votes.
The shares covered by the agreement are being sold by Macquarie European
Infrastructure Fund III (“MEIF3”) in a process commenced in May 2017, see CPH's
announcement of May 23, 2017. The process has been conducted by MIRA on behalf
of MEIF3.
The agreement is conditional upon merger control clearance and completion. ATP
and OTPP expect that the agreement will be completed in Q4 2017 and that the
agreement will result in ATP's and OTPP's joint control over the 57.7 per cent
shareholding in CPH. Moreover, ATP and OTPP expect that the transaction will
lead to the issuance of a manadatory tender offer to all shareholders in CPH.
The offer price in the mandatory tender offer will be based upon the price paid
to MEIF3 for the shares in KAP with certain adjustments. ATP and OTPP estimate
that the offer price, which will fluctuate depending on the date of completion,
will be approximately DKK 5,700 per share in CPH based upon an assumed
illustrative completion date in mid November 2017, but the final offer price
will reflect the actual completion date. Offer document and offer price is
subject to approval by the Danish FSA.
Upon publication of an offer document, the Board of Directors of CPH will in
the first half of the offer period publish a statement pursuant to Section 23 i
Executive Order of June 2, 2014 on take-overs with an opinion on the mandatory
offer.
For further information we kindly refer to the joint press release “ATP,
Macquarie and Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan announce Copenhagen Airports
transaction” which will be issued subsequent to this stock exchange
announcement.
The Chairman of CPH’s Board of Directors, Lars Nørby Johansen, issues the
following statement:
“On behalf of CPH, I would like to welcome ATP as new shareholders in
Copenhagen Airports A/S. We look forward to building a strong working
relationship with them, and the other shareholders in the airport, including
Ontario Teachers Pension Plan (OTPP) and the Danish State - for the benefit of
the airport and Danish society. I would like to thank Macquarie for the good
and successful collaboration over the last many years. We look forward to
continue to build on CPH as one of the key Northern European hub airports in
this new partnership.”
