Icade (Paris:ICAD):

On 6 December 2013, SMA Vie BTP lodged an appeal to the Paris Court of Appeal to overturn the decision of the French Autorité des Marchés Financiers published on 28 November 2013 declaring that Icade is not required to file a buyout offer in respect of the Silic shares as a consequence of the proposed merger of Silic into Icade, the terms and conditions of which were subject to its review pursuant to article 236-6 of the AMF General Regulation (see Notice of the AMF, No. 213C1819).

SMA Vie BTP also initiated summary proceedings on 6 December 2013 before the President of the Commercial Court of Nanterre in order to postpone the extraordinary shareholders’ general meeting of Silic convened on 27 December 2013 in order to vote on the merger of Silic into Icade. According to SMA Vie BTP, the shareholders’ general meeting of Silic should be postponed after the ruling of the Paris Court of Appeal on the appeal lodged against the decision of the Autorité des marchés financiers.

Icade and Silic intend to oppose this request for an adjournment of Silic shareholders’ general meeting.
