REPORT OF THE MANAGEMENT BOARD ON THE REASONS FOR PARTIAL EXCLUSION OF PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS OF EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS IN THE SUBSCRIPTION OF NEW SHARES
Pursuant to Article 308, Paragraphs 4 and 5 of the Companies Act, the Management Board of Čakovečki mlinovi Inc. (the "Company") submits this report to the Company's shareholders on the reasons for the partial exclusion of preemptive rights in the subscription of new shares.
In September of this year, the acquisition process of the Company was conducted based on a takeover bid submitted to the Company's shareholders on August 28, 2024, with approval from the Croatian Competition Agency and the Croatian Financial Services Supervisory Agency (HANFA). The offer was made by the following entities: MLIN I PEKARE Ltd. ("MiP"), Sisak, Ulica kralja Zvonimira 24, PIN: 22260862756, PLODINEC Ltd., Staro Čiče, Velika Gorica, Ulica Seljine brigade 43, PIN: 93116812695 ("Plodinec"), Allianz ZB Ltd., a company managing mandatory and voluntary pension funds, Zagreb, Ulica Vjekoslava Heinzela 70, PIN: 58384724129 ("AZ"), acting on behalf of several funds including: (i) AZ Mandatory Pension Fund – Category A, PIN: 15220336427 ("AZ OMF A"), (ii) AZ Mandatory Pension Fund – Category B, PIN: 59318506371 ("AZ OMF B"), (iii) AZ Profit Voluntary Pension Fund, PIN: 22134623145, (iv) AZ Benefit Open Voluntary Pension Fund, PIN: 56427866267, (v) AZ Third Horizon Closed Voluntary Pension Fund, PIN: 42239479988, (vi) AZ A1 Closed Voluntary Pension Fund, PIN: 64811569641, (vii) AZ Dalekovod Closed Voluntary Pension Fund, PIN: 49118401443, (viii) AZ HKZP Closed Voluntary Pension Fund, PIN: 25137661054, (ix) AZ Zagreb Closed Voluntary Pension Fund, PIN: 01774504225, (x) Auto Hrvatska Closed Voluntary Pension Fund, PIN: 24189818978, (xi) AZ ZABA Closed Voluntary Pension Fund, PIN: 11641097984. PBZ CROATIA OSIGURANJE d.d., a company for managing mandatory pension funds, Zagreb, Radnička cesta 44, OIB: 20455535575 ("PBZCO"), on its own behalf and on behalf of: (i) PBZ CROATIA OSIGURANJE Mandatory Pension Fund – Category A, OIB: 94002620905 ("PBZCO OMF A"), and (ii) PBZ CROATIA OSIGURANJE Mandatory Pension Fund – Category B, OIB: 99318944138 ("PBZCO OMF B") (collectively referred to as the "Takeover Offer"). During the takeover process, the shares of the Company were acquired as follows: MiP acquired 658,066 shares of the Company, AZ OMF A, managed by AZ, acquired 133,957 shares of the Company, AZ OMF B, managed by AZ, acquired 983,817 shares of the Company, PBZCO OMF A, managed by PBZCO, acquired 76,809 shares of the Company, and PBZCO OMF B, managed by PBZCO, acquired 743,796 shares of the Company.
In accordance with the stated plans regarding the future operations of the Company, as outlined in the Takeover Offer, the offerors have expressed their intention to consolidate the operations of MiP and the Company, including their affiliated companies. This consolidation aims to enhance competitiveness, expand business operations in the relevant market, optimize costs, and increase the client base while implementing planned business modernization.
The intention is to integrate operations in markets where both groups are actively engaged, namely the milling, baking, and retail markets. Through this business synergy, the goal is to increase competitiveness, expand market presence, optimize costs, and grow the client base while focusing on modernization, particularly in the retail market.
In light of the above, it is proposed to increase the Company's share capital through contributions in rights, specifically by contributing the following rights:
- All business shares held by MiP in the company NewMip Ltd., Sisak (City of Sisak), Ulica Kralja Zvonimira 24, OIB: 22916544397, MBS: 081489068 ("NewMip"), to which MiP transferred its business units (economic entities) in trade, baking, and milling, incorporating them into NewMip's share capital;
- 117,199 regular dematerialized registered shares held by MiP in the company ZAGREBAČKE PEKARNE KLARA Inc., Zagreb (City of Zagreb), Utinjska ulica 48, OIB: 76842508189, MBS: 080015097 ("KLARA");
- 57,474 regular dematerialized registered shares held by PLODINEC in the company KLARA.
By implementing the share capital increase as outlined above, the Company would become the sole member of NewMip and the holder of 174,673 shares of KLARA, which confer 174,673 votes in KLARA's general assembly. In light of this, it is proposed to increase the Company's share capital with a partial exclusion of pre-emptive rights of the existing shareholders. Among the existing shareholders, the right to subscribe to the new shares would be granted exclusively to MiP.
To determine the value of the above business shares and shares to be contributed to the Company's share capital and calculate the number of new shares the Company would issue to MiP and PLODINEC in proportion to the value of contributed rights, a valuation was conducted by an independent audit firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers Savjetovanje Ltd., Zagreb (City of Zagreb), Ulica Vjekoslava Heinzela 70, OIB: 54648952583.
In the process of increasing the Company's share capital, new shares would be issued at a price higher than the portion of the share capital attributed to the already issued shares of the Company, specifically at a price of 10.91 EUR per newly issued share. Based on the assessed value of the relevant business shares and existing shares, the share capital of the Company would be increased by 7,605,016.93 EUR through contributions in rights, achieved by issuing 5,730,000 ordinary dematerialized registered shares without nominal value. The surplus above the portion of share capital attributed to each already issued share of the Company, amounting to a total of 54,909,283.07 EUR, would be transferred to the Company's capital reserves.
Shareholders have the opportunity to review the valuation report at the Company's premises from the date of publication of this Notice for the General Assembly of the Company.
