BaltCap invites HansaMatrix shareholders to take the opportunity now to sell their shares at an attractive price

BaltCap, the leading private equity fund manager in the Baltics, launches a voluntary share purchase offer for HansaMatrix through its company Emsco starting from 2nd March. The offer presents a unique opportunity for HansaMatrix shareholders to sell their shares at an attractive price of EUR 8.50 per share.  The offer is valid for 30 days starting from 2nd March till 31st March at 4pm. 

BaltCap's offer represents an opportunity for the company's shareholders to earn a premium on their investment – the price per share is 22% higher than at the end of 2022 and 12% higher compared with the closing price on16 February 2023, the last trading day prior to the announcement of the intention to launch the offer.

"We are excited to announce a voluntary share purchase offer for HansaMatrix. This is a great opportunity for shareholders to sell their shares at a premium price. BaltCap’s objective is to achieve a minimum 75% stake in the company, which requires an active participation of all shareholders, including retail investors, in this offer. If this target is not met, HansaMatrix will continue with its current ownership structure. We recommend HansaMatrix investors to use this opportunity now and invite interested parties to review the prospectus in order to make an informed decision. At BaltCap, we are committed to ensuring a smooth transaction that is in the interests of all stakeholders,” Juris Pārups, Investment Director at BaltCap. 

In the case of a successful bid, BaltCap will initiate the delisting of HansaMatrix from the regulated market in accordance with the procedures set out in the law. According to Share purchase law Article 14, initiating the delisting of shares from the regulated market requires approval from at least 75% of the shareholders. 

Investors who decide not to accept voluntary purchase offer, will become minority shareholders in a non-listed company. In practice it may mean less liquidity and less opportunity in selling the shares in the future. 

As the offer price is above the mandatory purchase offer price, no additional mandatory offer will be made post transaction.

What should shareholders do?

Upon acceptance of the offer, HansaMatrix shareholders are required to contact their bank or investment brokerage firm where they have their securities account. It takes only a few simple steps to proceed. The offer is valid for 30 days from the publication of the prospectus on the Nasdaq Baltic website - from 02.03.2023. until 31.03.2023. at 16.00. It's important to note that the offer has a set timeframe, so shareholders who wish to participate should not delay taking action.
