DGAP-News: WCM Beteiligungs- und Grundbesitz-AG / Key word(s): Mergers & Acquisitions NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION, PUBLICATION OR FORWARDING, EITHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, JAPAN OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH SUCH DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLICATION WOULD BE UNLAWFUL Domination agreement between TLG IMMOBILIEN AG and WCM AG registered in the commercial register Frankfurt, 9 February 2018 - Today, the domination agreement entered into between TLG IMMOBILIEN AG and WCM Beteiligungs- und Grundbesitz-Aktiengesellschaft (WCM AG) on 6 October 2017 was registered in the commercial register of the local court (Amtsgericht) of Frankfurt/Main. Thus, the Domination Agreement, with TLG IMMOBILIEN AG as the controlling entity, and WCM AG as the controlled entity has entered into force. The shareholders' meetings of TLG IMMOBILIEN AG and WCM AG had already approved the domination agreement with large majorities on 22 November 2017 and 17 November 2017, respectively.
SETTLEMENT OFFER TO OUTSIDE SHAREHOLDERS OF WCM AG Under the domination agreement, TLG IMMOBILIEN AG undertook that upon request by minority shareholders of WCM AG it will acquire their shares in WCM AG in exchange for new no-par value bearer shares of TLG IMMOBILIEN AG, each with a notional value of EUR 1.00, at an exchange ratio of 4 shares of TLG IMMOBILIEN AG for 23 shares of WCM AG. Starting today, minority shareholders of WCM AG may accept this settlement offer. The offer period will end on 9 April 2018 at 12:00 AM (midnight) (Central European Summertime). In the event of an initiation of appraisal proceedings, minority shareholders of WCM AG will remain entitled to exchange their shares for shares in TLG IMMOBILIEN AG beyond this date.
FAIR COMPENSATION FOR OUTSIDE SHAREHOLDERS OF WCM AG TLG IMMOBILIEN AG guarantees minority shareholders of WCM AG who do not wish to accept the settlement offer a fixed annual payment in the form of a guaranteed dividend as fair compensation for the duration of the domination agreement. The guaranteed dividend for each fiscal year of WCM AG and each bearer share of WCM AG representing a notional value of EUR 1.00 in the share capital of WCM AG amounts to a gross amount of EUR 0.13 per share (the "Gross Compensation Amount"), less any corporate income tax and solidarity surcharge at the prevailing rate for the relevant fiscal year (the "Net Compensation Amount"). Based on the circumstances at the time of the entering into force of the domination agreement, corporate income tax at a rate of 15.0%, plus 5.5% solidarity surcharge thereon (i.e., EUR 0.02 for each no par-value share (Stückaktie) of WCM AG) are deducted from the Gross Compensation Amount. Based on the circumstances at the time of the entering into force of the domination agreement, this results in a Net Compensation Amount of EUR 0.11 for each no par-value share (Stückaktie) of WCM AG for every full fiscal year of WCM AG.
