All Visiativ shareholders have the possibility of tendering their shares to the offer at a tender share price of €37.00 (cum dividend), at the same transparency value basis as the main shareholders for the sale of the majority stake in Alliativ, and thus can benefit from immediate liquidity for all of their interests.

held in treasury and the 6,945 free shares locked up, i.e. a total maximum number of 2,431,117 Visiativ shares, representing 52.26% of the capital and 39.24% of the theoretical voting rights[3].

At its meeting on 17 June 2024, the Visiativ Board of Directors issued a motivated notice and, in this respect, noted that the Offer was in line with the interests of Visiativ, its shareholders and its employees and recommended Visiativ shareholders tender their shares to the Offer.
