Proactis SA- Press release on the offer on the shares of Proactis Holding

PROACTIS SA (Euronext: PROAC), a leading provider of comprehensive spend management and business process collaboration solutions, announces that Cafe Bidco Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of investment funds advised and managed by Pollen Street Capital Limited (“Cafe Bidco”) has on 30st April 2021 announced an offer to acquire (“the Offer”) Proactis Holdings PLC (“PROACTIS HOLDINGS”), holding indirectly, notably through Proactis Euro Hedgeco Limited, approximately 88 % of the issued share capital of PROACTIS SA, for an aggregate consideration of up to £71.6 million (approximately €82.59 million). The Offer has been recommended by the Board of Directors of PROACTIS HOLDINGS.

Further information regarding the Offer is available in English at http://www.proactis.com/uk/investors/.

The Offer is subject to, amongst other things, the conclusion of a Scheme of Arrangement, and approval at a General Meeting of PROACTIS HOLDINGS’ shareholders by a 75% majority of voting shareholders.

If these and all other conditions of the Offer be met, Cafe Bidco would become the indirect holder of more than 30 percent of the share capital and voting rights of PROACTIS SA and therefore under the rules of the AMF, completion would trigger an obligation on Cafe Bidco to launch a tender offer over PROACTIS SA shares. However, to PROACTIS SA’s knowledge, Cafe Bidco’s intention was to file with the AMF a request for waiver to the obligation to launch such tender offer.

Subject to such conditions, completion is expected during Q3 of the calendar year 2021.
