Rothschild & Co Concordia

PRESS RELEASE

10 May 2023

Update on the intention of Concordia to launch a simplified tender offer

Concordia¹ has announced on 6 and 13 February 2023, its intention to launch a simplified tender offer on the shares of Rothschild & Co (the "Offer").

In the context of the Offer, the intention is now to implement the proposed exceptional distribution of reserves of 8 euros per share by Rothschild & Co after clearance of the Offer by the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) and prior to the opening of the Offer.

As a result, Concordia's intention is to file the Offer at a price of 46.6 euros (cum exceptional distribution) per share. This represents 48 euros less the proposed ordinary dividend of 1.4 euro per share which would be paid on 31 May 2023. Such 46.6 euros price would then be adjusted to 38.6 euros (ex-distribution) from the ex-date of the exceptional distribution of reserves.

In such context, Concordia intends to purchase Rothschild & Co shares at 46.6 euros (cum exceptional distribution) between publication of Rothschild & Co draft response document and the date of the exceptional distribution (before opening of the Offer), within the limit of a number of shares equal to 30% of the number of shares targeted by the Offer (in accordance with the AMF General Regulation).

Regulatory approvals sought in connection with the Offer are underway with a target date for filing of the Offer in mid-2023. The Offer remains subject to approval by regulators and by the AMF. Additional information will be made available in the tender offer documentation which will be subject to AMF review and clearance.
