Strong shareholder commitment to Esker takeover bid

Esker received broad shareholder support in the friendly tender offer, led by Boréal Bidco alongside Bridgepoint and General Atlantic, with 68.79% of the shares tendered. At the end of the first period, Boréal Bidco controls 74.62% of the capital. A reopening of the offer is planned from January 17 to 30, 2025, allowing the remaining shareholders to sell their shares at €262 per share, a price that includes a premium compared to the previous price.

This takeover bid will be settled on 24 January 2025. Boréal Bidco could then request a mandatory withdrawal. Brokerage fees will be borne by the initiator within a certain limit. Shareholders are invited to contact their financial intermediaries to participate in the reopened offer.
