ANNOUNCEMENT OF RESULTS OF THE MEETING
On 12 February 2025, CM.com N.V. (CM.com or the Company) announced an invitation to the holders (the Bondholders) of its outstanding €100 million 2.00% convertible bonds due 2026 (ISIN: XS2384606468) (the Bonds) issued by the Company:
(i) to tender their Bonds for purchase by the Company for cash (the Tender Offer) subject to the satisfaction (or waiver by the Company) of the Offer Condition (as defined in the Tender and Consent Memorandum (as defined below)); and
(ii) to consent to certain modifications to the terms and conditions of the Bonds (the Conditions), as proposed by the Company (the Proposal) for approval by Extraordinary Resolution at a virtual meeting of Bondholders (the Meeting) (such invitation, the Consent Solicitation),
each on the terms of and subject to the conditions set out in the tender and consent memorandum dated 12 February 2025 (the Tender and Consent Memorandum), including the offer and distribution restrictions described in the Tender and Consent Memorandum.
Capitalised terms used and not otherwise defined in this announcement have the meanings given to them in the Tender and Consent Memorandum.
Results of the Meeting
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN to Bondholders that, at the Meeting, the Extraordinary Resolution was duly passed and became unconditional.
As separately announced by the Company on 24 February 2025, the Company will accept for purchase in cash all Bonds validly tendered pursuant to the Tender Offer, representing the full outstanding amount of €100 million. Following settlement, no Bonds will remain outstanding, and the Bonds will be cancelled and therefore, the Company currently does not intend to implement the Extraordinary Resolution.
Settlement of the purchase of the Bonds is expected to take place on 11 March 2025.
Early Voting Fee
As further described in the Tender and Consent Memorandum, the Early Voting Fee was available to Bondholders (whether Eligible Bondholders or Ineligible Bondholders) that validly delivered Solicitation Instructions to the Tender and Tabulation Agent in favour of the Extraordinary Resolution by the Early Deadline (and did subsequently revoke such instructions). No Solicitation Instructions were received by the Tender and Tabulation Agent by the Early Deadline and as such, no Early Voting Fee will be payable by the Company.
For the avoidance of doubt, Bondholders who submitted valid Tender Instructions will not be eligible to receive the Early Voting Fee in respect of the relevant Bonds (but the Early Purchase Price already includes an amount equal to the Early Voting Fee).
