AEVIS VICTORIA SA publiziert das definitive Zwischenergebnis im Rahmen des öffentlichen Übernahmeangebots für LifeWatch AG
AEVIS VICTORIA SA (AEVIS VICTORIA) bestätigt, dass ihr Übernahmeangebot für die LifeWatch AG nicht zustande gekommen ist.
Am 20. Februar 2017 publizierte AEVIS VICTORIA ein Übernahmeangebot für alle sich im Publikum befindenden Namenaktien der LifeWatch. Das öffentliche Übernahmeangebot unterliegt verschiedenen Bedingungen inklusive derjenigen, dass AEVIS VICTORIA nach Ablauf der Angebotsfrist Annahmeerklärungen für eine Anzahl LifeWatch-Aktien erhalten hat, die, zusammen mit den bereits von AEVIS VICTORIA und ihren Referenzaktionären gehaltenen Aktien, mindestens 67 % aller ausstehenden Namenaktien von LifeWatch ergibt. Diese Bedingung ist nicht erfüllt und AEVIS VICTORIA gibt bekannt, dass sie auf die Bedingung nicht verzichten wird.
Am 24.
