Amber EquityCo, S.L.U. (“Amber EquityCo”), a company owned in equal parts by funds managed by the investment firms I Squared Capital (“ISQ”) and TDR Capital (“TDR”), announced on 14 September 2023 a voluntary and competing takeover bid for all the shares of Applus Services, S. A. (“Applus+”), which was authorised by the CNMV on 22 March 2024, at a price of [\u20ac11.00] per share to be paid in cash in full (the “ISQ and TDR Offer”). On May 17, 2024, the CNMV authorized the modification of the Offer presented in the envelopes phase by which the price per Applus share was increased to 12.78 euros.<\/p>\n
The Offer was presented as competitor with that announced to the market on 30 June 2023 by Manzana Spain Bidco, S.L.U., a company owned by funds managed by Apollo Global Management (“Apollo”). On May 17, 2024, Apollo communicated to the CNMV its decision to withdraw its offer due to the ISQ and TDR Offer offering a higher price; the ISQ and TDR Offer being thereafter the only existing offer.<\/p>\n
In the event that the Offer condition is satisfied (i.e., a minimum acceptance of 50%) or Amber EquityCo withdraws the condition as set out in the Prospectus, Amber EquityCo intends to delist the Applus+ shares from the Spanish Stock Exchanges, if the requirements set out in the Prospectus are met.<\/p>\n

the previous acceptance period?” _builder_version=”4.21.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n If you accepted any offer in the previous acceptance period ending April 24, 2024, the following scenarios may occur:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”When and how will payment be made?” _builder_version=”4.21.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n Payment will be made in cash upon settlement of the Offer, if the condition for settlement of the Offer (i.e., a minimum acceptance of 50%) is satisfied or, in the event that it is not satisfied, if the Offeror waives its compliance with the terms of the Prospectus.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What happens if a shareholder does not accept the offer?” _builder_version=”4.21.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n Any shareholder who decides not to accept the Offer will retain his Applus+ shares and will not receive any payment in consideration for them. <\/p>\n Under the requirements for the planned delisting of the Offer, there are three alternatives: (i) if the acceptance percentage of the Offer exceeds 90%, Amber EquityCo may exercise its squeeze-out right at the Offer price; (ii) if the acceptance percentage of the Offer is between 75% and 90%, Amber EquityCo may proceed to delist by means of a sustained order to buy; or (iii) if the acceptance percentage of the Offer is between 50% and 75%, Amber EquityCo may make a delisting offer. Therefore, after settlement of the Offer and depending on its final acceptance percentage, Amber EquityCo may proceed to delist Applus+. In this case, Applus+ shares would remain listed on the stock exchange until the delisting takes place.<\/p>\n If delisting occurs after settlement of the Offer, and an investor decides not to accept the Offer, this may result in the investor becoming a holder of a stake in a delisted company, which mainly implies a loss of liquidity of his stake and access to less information about the company.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What does the squeeze-out right mean?” _builder_version=”4.21.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n Amber EquityCo may exercise its squeeze-out right on all Applus+ shares that have not been accepted in the Offer if the requirements set out below are met. By exercising this right, Amber EquityCo will acquire all the Applus+ shares that have not been accepted in the Offer at the price at which the Offer was settled.<\/p>\n Amber EquityCo may exercise the squeeze-out right if the following requirements are met:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What happens if the Offer condition is not met?” _builder_version=”4.21.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n The Offer is conditional upon acceptance of more than 50% of the Applus+ Shares. If this condition is not fulfilled, Amber EquityCo may waive compliance with this condition as set out in the Prospectus. If Amber EquityCo does not waive compliance with this condition, the Offer will lapse and will not be settled.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ disabled_on=”on|on|on” admin_label=”Section Aggreko” module_id=”aggreko” module_class=”aggreko” _builder_version=”4.21.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”rgba(10,10,10,0.8)” background_image=”https:\/\/opaapplusamber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Aggreko-Portfolio-Detail-img.jpg” background_blend=”overlay” border_color_all=”#ff6900″ disabled=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.21.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Titulo” _builder_version=”4.21.2″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#010000″ header_2_font=”|600||on|||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_2_font_size=”35px” custom_margin=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Subt\u00edtulo” _builder_version=”4.21.2″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”18px” header_3_text_color=”#FFFFFF” text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.2″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n In 2021 ISQ and TDR jointly acquired the company Aggreko plc (currently, Aggreko Limited), which provides power and energy solutions (including generators, load banks, energy storage, power distribution, heating and cooling solutions) to communities and customers, including in the oil & gas and renewable energy sectors.
