COMUNICATO STAMPA

Italian Electronics Holdings S.à r.l. avvia un accelerated bookbuilding di azioni ordinarie detenute in Unieuro S.p.A., per un quantitativo fino a circa il 17,5% dell'attuale capitale sociale

Milano, 13 novembre 2019. Italian Electronics Holdings S.à r.l. ("IEH") annuncia l'avvio di una operazione di cessione di azioni ordinarie Unieuro S.p.A. ("Unieuro" o la "Società") per un quantitativo fino a circa il 17,5% dell'attuale capitale sociale di Unieuro (il "Collocamento") attraverso una procedura di accelerated bookbuilding rivolta a determinate categorie di investitori istituzionali.

Il bookbuilding avrà inizio immediatamente e IEH si riserva il diritto di chiudere anticipatamente il Collocamento e/o di variarne i termini in qualsiasi momento. IEH darà comunicazione dell'esito del collocamento al termine dello stesso.

L'operazione consentirà alla Società di ampliare il flottante e favorire la liquidità del titolo.

Mediobanca – Banca di Credito Finanziario S.p.A. ("Mediobanca"), è stata incaricata da IEH quale Sole Bookrunner dell'Operazione.

Nel contesto del Collocamento, IEH ha sottoscritto, in linea con la prassi di mercato, un impegno a non disporre di ulteriori azioni di Unieuro per un periodo di 60 giorni dalla data di regolamento dell'operazione. Durante tale periodo di lock-up, salve alcune eccezioni in linea con la prassi di mercato, IEH non potrà porre in essere nessun atto di disposizione delle azioni di Unieuro senza il previo consenso di Mediobanca.
