Offer Highlights
On October 17, 2023, TPG announced that it had filed an Offer to acquire all outstanding shares of Intervest for €21.00 per share. The all-cash Offer provides certain and immediate value to Intervest shareholders, representing a 52.2% premium over the closing share price on October 5, 2023, the last day prior to suspension of trading in the Intervest share by the FSMA on October 6, 2023, +47.8% over the last 1-month VWAP, +52.3% over the last 3-month VWAP, and +20.2% over the last 12-month VWAP.
The Offer is unanimously supported and recommended by Intervest’s Supervisory and Management Boards and benefits from irrevocable undertakings to tender their shares in the Offer from three of Intervest’s key shareholders.
Additional Information
TPG seeks to acquire all shares outstanding in Intervest and intends to launch a simplified squeeze-out offer if it (together with its Affiliated Persons and persons acting in concert with it at that point in time) holds at least 95% of the shares of Intervest as a result of the acceptance period (and following any voluntary or mandatory reopening of the Offer as the case may be).
