Korian Deutschland AG, Mannheim, a company which is in the course of
foundation and which is to be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Korian
S.A., a company based in Paris, France, has today informed Curanum AG
concerning its decision about issuing a voluntary public takeover
offer for all outstanding Curanum shares, and has announced this
decision publicly in advance. The takeover offer includes a minimum
acceptance threshold of 75% on the basis of a price of EUR 2,5 per
Curanum share, according to information provided by Korian. This
announcement was preceded by confidential discussions with the
Management Board of Curanum concerning a potential merging of the
German business activities of the Korian Group with Curanum. The
Management and Supervisory boards of Curanum AG envisage that such a
transaction would basically make sense from a strategic perspective
for both its employees and the company since both groups' activities
and their respective regional coverage would complement each other
beneficially. Korian intends to submit its offer document to the
German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) within the
next four weeks in line with the provisions of the German Securities
Takeover Act (WpÜG). Once the offer details have been published, the
Management and Supervisory boards will review such details carefully
before issuing a reasoned, public opinion on the offer, especially
with respect to the price offered.
