Post-Acceptance Period

The Post-Acceptance Period (na-aanmeldingstermijn) started on 7 December 2021, at 09:00 hours CET and will end on 20 December 2021 at 17:40 hours CET.

The Offeror will publicly announce the results of the Post-Acceptance Period and the total amount and total percentage of Shares held by it in accordance with Section 17 paragraph 4 of the Decree no later than on the third Business Day following the last day of the Post-Acceptance Period.

The Offeror will continue to accept the transfer (levering) of all Tendered Shares during the PostAcceptance Period and will pay the Offer Price for each Tendered Share that has been transferred (geleverd) to the Offeror promptly, but in any event within five Business Days following the date on which the relevant Shareholder transferred (geleverd) its Shares to the Offeror.

During the Post-Acceptance Period, Shareholders have no right to withdraw Tendered Shares from the Offer, regardless of whethe?

Buy-out proceedings

As the Offeror has acquired more than 95% of the Shares, the Offeror intends to initiate, as soon as possible, the Buy-Out. Reference is made to Section 5.11.4 (Buy-out proceedings) of the Offer Memorandum.

Further implications for non-tendering Shareholders

Remaining Shareholders who do not wish to tender their Shares in the Post-Acceptance Period should carefully review the sections of the Offer Memorandum that further explain the intentions of the Offeror, such as (but not limited to) Section 5.11 (Consequences of the Offer for non-tendering Shareholders), which describes certain implications to which such Shareholders may become subject with their continued shareholding in GrandVision.
