RECOMMENDED CASH ACQUISITION
Results of Court Meeting and lapsing of the Scheme
Ad hoc announcement – Jersey, 25 October 2019, Atrium European Real Estate Limited (VSE/Euronext: ATRS) („Atrium“ or the „Company“) announces that, at the Court Meeting held earlier today in connection with the recommended cash acquisition (the „Acquisition“) by Nb (2019) B.V. („Bidco“), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Gazit-Globe Ltd („Gazit“), for the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of Atrium that is not already owned directly or indirectly by Gazit or its subsidiaries, to be implemented by means of a Court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement under Article 125 of the Companies Law (the „Scheme“), the requisite level of support for the Scheme (75% of the Scheme Shares voted) was not obtained from Scheme Shareholders.
Accordingly, the Scheme has lapsed in accordance with paragraph 2.1 of Part 3 of the scheme document dated 27 September 2019 (the „Scheme Document“). As the Scheme was not approved at the Court Meeting, the General Meeting was adjourned without assigning an alternative date prior to votes being cast. The Court Hearing to sanction the Scheme, scheduled for 5 November 2019, will not take place.
