Corporate news

Terms used in this notice have the same meaning as in the definitions of the terms and conditions of the 3.25% S IMMO Bond 2015-2027, ISIN AT0000A1DWK5 ("Bond" or "Terms and Conditions"), unless otherwise defined in this notice.

On 23 August 2022, S IMMO AG was informed that CPI Property Group S.A. ("CPIPG") has directly and indirectly acquired an interest of approximately 79.20% in the share capital of S IMMO AG. This constitutes a change of control within the meaning of § 10 (4) of the Terms and Conditions of the Bonds and triggers an extraordinary right of termination of the Bondholders pursuant to § 10 (2) lit (j) of the Terms and Conditions of the Bonds.

Pursuant to § 10 (2) of the Terms and Conditions of the Bonds, each Bondholder is entitled to terminate its Bonds for this reason and to demand their immediate repayment at the nominal amount plus interest accrued to the date of redemption (exclusively).

Pursuant to § 10 (2) lit (j) of the Terms and Conditions of the Bonds, the termination shall only be valid if a corresponding termination declaration is made no later than 30 days after this notification of the change of control has been published (taking into account the publication obligations pursuant to § 14 of the Terms and Conditions of the Bonds), i.e. by 29 September 2022 (inclusive). The notice of termination shall be submitted in writing in German to the custodian bank or directly to the Paying Agent (Erste Group Bank AG, simmococ2022@erstegroup.com). The declaration must be accompanied by evidence showing that the relevant Bondholder is the holder of the relevant Bonds at the time the notice is given. The proof may be provided by a certificate of the custodian bank or in another suitable manner (§ 10 para 7 of the Terms and Conditions of the Bonds). Bondholders should coordinate with their custodian bank on the practical handling of the delivery of their Bonds covered by the termination notice.

A form of notice of termination may be requested from the custodian bank or the Paying Agent by email to simmococ2022@erstegroup.com. The settlement is expected to take place via the clearing system on 06 October 2022. Once submitted, a notice of termination is irrevocable.
