Successful takeover bid for Colombus Holding and Colombus Holding 2

Successful offer with 8,885,597 Chargeurs shares tendered, representing as many voting rights

Par Rémy EISENSTEIN - The public purchase offer initiated by Colombus Holding and Colombus Holding 2 for Chargeurs shares was a great success. The initiators now hold 65.56% of the capital and 66.55% of the voting rights of the company Chargeurs, including the 824,460 treasury shares.

During the offering period, which ran from February 8, 2024 to March 13, 2024 inclusive, 8,885,597 shares were presented, representing as many voting rights. These shares are in addition to the 6,590,305 shares which were already held by the initiators before the opening of the offer.

Both individual and institutional shareholders were able to take advantage of the voluntary liquidity window offered to them. The initiators and the Board of Directors of the Chargeurs group are pleased with the success of the offer. The Board of Directors had issued a positive opinion on the operation, as had the Group Committee, representing the employees.

Chargeurs, which will remain a listed company, will thus have a capital structure more in line with its diversified holding company profile and its long-term growth strategy. Maintaining a significant free float will ensure adequate liquidity of shares for shareholders who have chosen to retain their participation, while offering potential new shareholders the opportunity to acquire shares and benefit from the Group's entrepreneurial development.

In accordance with regulations, the offer will be reopened for an additional period of 10 trading days, within a timetable which will be specified in the coming days.
