Purchase of 22.18% of the existing share capital of Consus Real Estate AG as well as an option to acquire further 50.97% of the shares by Ado Properties S.A.

Potential offer for all other outstanding shares by Ado Properties S.A. at a later stage

Strategic cooperation agreement between Ado Properties S.A. and Consus Real Estate AG

The management board of Consus Real Estate AG (“CONSUS“) has been informed by ADO Properties S.A. (“Ado Properties“) that Ado Properties has resolved on acquiring a stake of 22.18% of the existing share capital of CONSUS from certain minority shareholders at an average price of EUR 9.72 per CONSUS share via share purchase agreements.

CONSUS has also been informed by Ado Properties that Ado Properties intends to enter into an option agreement with CONSUS’ largest shareholder Aggregate Holdings S.A. (“Aggregate“) pursuant to which Ado Properties shall have a call option to acquire shares in CONSUS currently equaling 50.97% of the share capital of CONSUS against the granting of shares in Ado Properties. Further, Ado Properties shall undertake to conduct a voluntary tender offer in the form of an exchange offer to acquire the remaining CONSUS shares (save for any applicable RETT blocker) if it exercised its call option. The consideration for one share in CONSUS shall, in each case, be 0.2390 newly issued shares in Ado Properties, provided that this ratio will be adjusted to any dividends and equity raise done by Ado Properties or CONSUS, as relevant. Under the same agreement, Aggregate has an option to put its CONSUS shares to Ado Properties upon the occurrence of a change of control on the level of Ado Properties. Upon the exercise of the put option, Ado Properties would have to acquire Aggregate’s CONSUS shares for a consideration per CONSUS share of, at the option of Ado Properties, EUR 8.35 in cash or 0.2390 newly issued shares in Ado Properties, provided that this ratio will be adjusted to any dividends and equity raise done by Ado Properties or CONSUS, as relevant.

In this context, the management board of CONSUS, upon approval of the supervisory board, has resolved to enter into a strategic cooperation agreement with Ado Properties by virtue of which CONSUS and Ado Properties enter into a strategic partnership (the “Strategic Cooperation Agreement“). Under the Strategic Cooperation Agreement, Ado Properties and Consus undertake to jointly develop existing and new land-banks held by Consus. Ado Properties has received a right to match third-party offers to enable it to purchase those assets on which it has worked together with Consus.
