ADC African Development Corporation AG ('ADC'), ISIN DE000A1E8NW9,
announces its firm intention to make a mandatory offer to all minority
shareholders of its major banking asset ABC Holdings Limited, Botswana
('BancABC').
ADC intends to acquire all issued ordinary shares of BancABC not already
owned by ADC. The mandatory offer is required by the Botswana Stock
Exchange (BSE) for any shareholder owning more than 35% of a listed company
in Botswana and will be issued at a price of USD 0.60 per share to BancABC
shareholders listed on the Company's Zimbabwe register and at the exchange
rate equivalent of BWP 5.05 per share for BancABC shareholders listed on
the Botswana register; the price at which ADC acquired a majority
shareholding while acting as an underwriter of the bank's rights issue in
July 2012.
A group of minority shareholders of BancABC support the opinion of an
independent valuation expert appointed by the BancABC Board to not accept
the mandatory offer. As such, the reduced potential size of the offer to
23% of the shareholders in BancABC is approximately EUR 26 million.
The financing for the uptake of the mandatory offer has been secured from
ADC's largest (23%) shareholder and partner, Trafigura. Upon the closing of
the mandatory offer, Trafigura will have a direct shareholding in BancABC
and has engaged in a voting pool agreement with ADC.
The mandatory offer will be made in accordance with the terms specified in
the offer circular, which will be made available at the ADC website via the
link as specified below on 18 December 2013.
Dirk Harbecke, CEO of ADC commented: 'The mandatory offer is an important
milestone for ADC that will significantly increase ADC's representation in
BancABC, ADC's most important asset. By engaging in pooling agreements and
executing the mandatory offer, we aim to firm-up our control in BancABC and
to realize our vision together with the strong BancABC Management team.'
