This press release relating to the availability of the offer document approved (visa) by the AMF on November 5, 2024 and to the availability of the information relating in particular to the legal, financial and accounting characteristics of Taiwan Cement Europe Holdings B.V. was prepared and issued by Taiwan Cement Europe Holdings B.V., in accordance with the provisions of Articles 231-27, 1° and 2° and 231-28, I of the AMF General Regulation (the “Press Release”).

Pursuant to the provisions of Article L. 621-8 of the French Code monétaire et financier and of Article 231-23 of the AMF General Regulation, the AMF has, in accordance with its clearance decision regarding the Offer dated November 5, 2024, delivered visa No. 24-461 on the offer document (the “Offer Document”) prepared by Taiwan Cement Europe Holdings B.V. (“TCEH”) relating to the simplified tender offer initiated by TCEH on the shares of NHOA (the “Offer”).

In accordance with the provisions of Article 231-28 of the AMF General Regulation, the information relating in particular to the legal, financial and accounting characteristics of TCEH, which supplements the offer document, has been filed with the AMF on November 5, 2024 and was made available to the public on the date hereof.

The Offer Document of TCEH and the information relating in particular to the legal, financial and accounting characteristics of TCEH are available on the websites of the AMF (www.amf-france.org), of TCC Group Holdings Co., Ltd (www.tccgroupholdings.com/en/) and NHOA (www.nhoagroup.com), and may be obtained free of charge from Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank:

IMPORTANT NOTICE

 

In accordance with the provisions of Article L. 433-4 II of the French Code monétaire et financier and Articles 237-1 et seq. of the AMF General Regulation, TCEH intends to require the AMF, at the latest within three (3) months following the closing of the Offer, to implement a squeeze-out (retrait obligatoire) for the NHOA shares not tendered in the Offer (other than the NHOA free shares subject to a holding period and subject to a liquidity mechanism and/or assimilated to the shares held, directly or indirectly, by the offeror) to be transferred to TCEH in return for (i) compensation per NHOA share equal to the offer price, being EUR 1.25; and (ii) entitlement to the Conditional Price Supplement of EUR 0.65 per NHOA share payable only if the conditions set forth in Section 2.2.1(B) of the Offer Document materialize.

 

Shareholders’ and potential investors of NHOA’s attention is drawn to the fact that (a) no Conditional Price Supplement will be due and/or paid if the Call Option or the Put Option (as such terms are defined in Section 2.2.1(A) of the Offer Document) is exercised, (b) the Call Option is deeply in the money and may therefore likely be exercised, and (c) if the Call Option is not exercised, TCC commits to procure for the exercise of the Put Option in light of the factors set forth in Section 2.2.1(A) of the Offer Document. Consequently, it is unlikely that a Conditional Price Supplement will eventually be due and paid to the shareholders of NHOA. Shareholders and potential investors of NHOA are encouraged to read the details of the conditions set forth in Section 2.2.1(B) of the Offer Document and exercise caution when dealing in NHOA securities.
