Terms of the transaction
Tarkett Participation’s Offer price is 17 euros per share, representing a premium of 40.6% and 46.1% respectively to the volume-weighted average share price over the 20 and 60 trading days preceding the announcement of the Offer on February 20, 2025.
On April 24, 2025, Tarkett’s Supervisory Board reviewed the work and recommendation of the Ad Hoc Committee and the conclusions of the independent expert Finexsi, which concluded that the financial terms of the Offer were fair to Tarkett’s shareholders. On this basis, the Supervisory Board confirmed that the Offer was in the interest of Tarkett, its employees and its shareholders, and therefore recommended that the latter tender their shares to the Offer.
On May 22, 2025, Tarkett’s Supervisory Board reviewed the addendum dated May 22, 2025 to Finexsi’s fairness opinion dated April 24, 2025 confirming the fairness of the Offer and the conclusions of the Ad Hoc Committee stating that this addendum did not question its recommendation of April 24, 2025. On this basis, the Supervisory Board reiterated its favorable opinion on the fairness of the Offer.
Following the Offer, Tarkett Participation will implement a squeeze-out procedure on all the shares it does not hold, insofar as minority shareholders hold less than 10% of Tarkett’s share capital and voting rights. The squeeze-out will be carried out in return for compensation equal to the Offer price.
Warning
The Offer is made to shareholders of Tarkett located in France and outside France, provided that the local law to which they are subject allows them to participate in the Offer without requiring Tarkett Participation to complete additional formalities.
