Opal BidCo expects to make the Takeover Offer subject to completion conditions relating to certain regulatory proceedings, a minimum acceptance threshold of 70% of all issued OSRAM Shares (excluding any treasury shares held by OSRAM Licht AG) and other customary closing conditions.
In addition, Opal BidCo and ams AG and OSRAM Licht AG have entered into a cooperation agreement with a view to strengthening both businesses and creating a global leader in sensor solutions and photonics with tangible benefits for customers. The management board of OSRAM Licht AG has also released ams AG from the standstill obligation that ams AG and OSRAM Licht AG had agreed upon in their confidentiality agreement dated 4 June 2019.
