OEP has converted its mandatory convertible notes and will make a public offer to the shareholders of Cicor according to the Swiss takeover rules

Ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 LR

Bronschhofen, November 29, 2024 – Cicor Group (SIX Swiss Exchange: CICN) announces today that its major shareholder OEP 80 B.V. (OEP) has converted its Mandatory Convertible Notes (MCN). After registration in the commercial register, OEP will hold 41.01% of Cicor's shares and is therefore obliged to make a public takeover offer to the other Cicor shareholders within two months.

According to the information available to Cicor, OEP intends to make the mandatory offer at or close to the minimum price. The offer would thus serve solely to fulfill the legal obligation resulting from exceeding the threshold of 33 1/3 % of the voting rights. OEP further indicates that it does not intend to take over Cicor completely and that the conversion of the mandatory convertible bond serves solely to simplify Cicor's capital structure. The prescribed minimum price is the 60-day volume-weighted average price (VWAP) prior to the publication of the mandatory offer and currently amounts to CHF 54.35 per share. The definitive minimum price will be determined on the publication date of the mandatory offer and is therefore expected to change.

The Board of Directors will review the mandatory offer and, from today's perspective, recommend rejecting it. However, the final decision and reporting on this remain reserved.
