Author: Owen Jenkins Updated: 04-02-2025 02:45 AM

Extension of Offer Period by Nykredit

Nykredit has officially announced that the offer period for its takeover bid has been extended to April 24, 2025.

This extension comes in the wake of the need to secure specific regulatory approvals from the Danish Competition and Consumer Authority. This regulatory clearance is crucial for the completion of the all-cash voluntary takeover offer for Spar Nord Bank A/S.

Details of the Offer

Nykredit's original announcement regarding the acquisition indicated that the offer document had been published on January 8, 2025. Initially, the offer period was set to expire on April 3, 2025. However, the recent developments necessitated an extension, and the new expiration date is now set for April 24, 2025, at 23:59 CEST. This adjustment aims to accommodate all parties involved and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.

Implications of the Extended Offer

As part of the offer's adjustment, shareholders of Spar Nord Bank who have previously accepted the offer need not take any further actions. Their acceptances remain binding, and they will automatically benefit from the newly set offer price. Following the latest adjustments, the offer price per share will be increased by DKK 0.50 to a total of DKK 210.50.

All current shareholders who have accepted the offer will be considered under this improved pricing model. It is essential for shareholders to note that the extension does not alter other terms and conditions set by Nykredit or the unanimous recommendation from the Spar Nord board for shareholders to accept this offer.

Future Expectations

The expected completion date for the offer, given there are no further extensions, is now projected to be on May 2, 2025. This timeline pushes the settlement of the offer price for accepting shareholders to a later date but assures all participants that their interests are being prioritized during this transition.

Spar Nord’s board of directors remains optimistic about the acquisition process and assures its shareholders of the strategic benefits that this takeover will entail. With proper regulatory approvals in place, the future of both Nykredit and Spar Nord appears promising as they forge ahead.
