conwert Immobilien Invest SE: conwert will launch a voluntary public tender offer to KWG shareholders in connection with the delisting

Vienna

Voluntary public tender offer allows minority shareholders of KWG to sell their shares and delisting will reduce costs and administrative burden of KWG

conwert Immobilien Invest SE ("conwert") will launch a voluntary offer to acquire up to approx. 13.47% of the shares from the minority shareholders of KWG Kommunale Wohnen AG ("KWG") at a price of 10.80 EUR per share. The offer will be made in connection with the proposed delisting of KWG which is expected to take place on 20 April 2016. The voluntary public tender offer allows minority shareholders of KWG to sell their shares and the delisting will reduce costs and administrative burden of KWG.

conwert is the main shareholder of KWG, with a stake of slightly under 80%. The voluntary public tender offer will be limited in such a way that after completion of the offer conwert will own a maximum of 93% of KWG's share capital. In case shareholders tender more than approx. 13.47% of the shares into the offer, the declarations of acceptance will be considered on a pro rata basis. The respective offer document is expected to be published around 23 March 2016. The acceptance period will last about four weeks, and is expected to begin around 24 March 2016 and end around 21 April 2016.

On the basis of the offer price of 10.80 EUR per share, conwert is offering a premium of about 5.7% compared to the closing price of the KWG share on 8 March 2016, a premium of about 9.2% on the average volume-weighted share price in the last three months and a premium of about 18.8% on the average volume-weighted share price in the last 12 months. Accordingly, conwert provides an attractive exit opportunity for KWG shareholders willing to sell their shares. The constructive cooperation with the remaining KWG shareholders will be continued in the future.
The voluntary public tender offer is a further measure implemented within the context of the strategic focusing of the conwert Group and the optimisation of the group structure. For this purpose, in mid-February, conwert filed a request to transfer the shares of the minority shareholders of its subsidiary ECO Business-Immobilien AG against cash compensation.

IKB Deutsche Industriebank AG: IKB to file for delisting of shares

[Düsseldorf, 25 February 2016] With the approval of the Supervisory Board, the Board of Managing Directors of IKB Deutsche Industriebank AG has resolved to promptly file for the delisting of IKB shares (ISIN: DE 0008063306) on the open market (Primärmarkt) of the Düsseldorf stock exchange and to terminate the listing in the Entry Standard of the Frankfurt stock exchange. The delisting applies to trading on all stock exchanges on which the share was included at the instigation of IKB.

In particular, IKB is expecting to reduce complexity and its administrative expenses with the intended delisting. Given the low free float of 8.5%, there has been very limited trading in IKB shares in recent years. 91.5% of the shares are held by the majority shareholder Lone Star. Shareholders will be able to trade their shares on the stock markets until the delisting takes effect. Trading on stock markets is expected to remain possible for several months following IKB's application and termination.
