Information on the Bidder:
On 31 July 2015, DEMIRE Deutsche Mittelstand Real Estate AG,
Frankfurt/Main, decided to offer the shareholders of Fair Value REIT-AG,
Munich, to acquire their no-par value bearer shares of Fair Value REIT-AG,
each representing a pro rata amount of the registered share capital of EUR
2.00 (ISIN DE000A0MW975 / WKN A0MW97) (the ‘Fair Value Shares’) by way of a
voluntary public takeover offer in the form of an exchange offer (the
‘Takeover Offer’).
DEMIRE Deutsche Mittelstand Real Estate AG intends to offer the
shareholders of Fair Value REIT-AG two (2) new no-par value bearer shares
of DEMIRE Deutsche Mittelstand Real Estate AG, each representing a pro rata
amount of the registered share capital of EUR 1.00 and dividend rights as
of 1 January 2015 (the ‘DEMIRE Shares’) from the capital increase in kind
(the ‘Capital Increase’) still to be resolved by the General Meeting, in
exchange as consideration for one (1) Fair Value share tendered to DEMIRE
Deutsche Mittelstand Real Estate AG in the context of the Takeover Offer,
subject to the final determination of a minimum offer price and the final
terms in the offer document.
For the purpose of resolving the Capital Increase, DEMIRE Deutsche
Mittelstand Real Estate AG will convene an extraordinary General Meeting at
short notice. DEMIRE Deutsche Mittelstand Real Estate AG will appoint a
trustee who will subscribe to the new DEMIRE Shares for the benefit of the
Fair Value REIT-AG shareholders that have tendered their Fair Value Shares
in the context of the Takeover Offer and transfer their Fair Value Shares
to DEMIRE Deutsche Mittelstand Real Estate AG.
DEMIRE Deutsche Mittelstand Real Estate AG’s Takeover Offer will presumably
be made subject to, inter alia, a minimum acceptance rate of 50.1% of the
outstanding Fair Value Shares, the absence of material transactions,
material adverse effects, or material compliance violations, as well as the
registration of the implementation of the Capital Increase. Otherwise, the
Takeover Offer will be made in accordance with the terms and conditions set
out in the offer document. Insofar as legally permissible, DEMIRE Deutsche
Mittelstand Real Estate AG reserves the right to deviate in the final terms
and conditions of the Takeover Offer from the basic information described
herein.
On the date hereof, DEMIRE Deutsche Mittelstand Real Estate AG entered into
agreements with Obotritia Beteiligungs GmbH, Försterweg Beteiligungs GmbH,
Jägersteig Beteiligungs GmbH and Kienzle Vermögensverwaltungs GmbH
(together referred to as the ‘ Package Shareholders’), who own in total
approx. 23.21% of the shares and voting rights of Fair Value REIT-AG,
pursuant to which the Package Shareholders irrevocably undertake to tender
their Fair Value Shares in the context of the Takeover Offer (the ‘Tender
Commitment’). Simultaneously, the Package Shareholders have already
declared their withdrawal from their acceptance of the Takeover Offer
pursuant to the Tender Commitment if and to the extent that the number of
Fair Value Shares tendered in the context of the Takeover Offer would lead
to DEMIRE Deutsche Mittelstand Real Estate AG holding more than 94.9% of
the share capital and voting rights of Fair Value REIT-AG.
Furthermore, on the date hereof, DEMIRE Deutsche Mittelstand Real Estate AG
and Fair Value REIT-AG have entered into a basic agreement (‘Business
Combination Agreement’) in which both companies have stipulated their
current understanding in terms of the execution of the Takeover Offer and
the general support of the Management Board of Fair Value REIT-AG.
