voestalpine: Steel company voestalpine signed an agreement with ArcelorMittal to sell 80% of its stake in voestalpine Texas Holding LLC, a hot briquetted iron (HBI) direct reduction plant in Corpus Christi, with production capacity of approximately two million tons per year. Taking into account the expected debt development of voestalpine Texas as of today, the transaction will lead to a cash inflow in the amount of the equity value for 80% of the shares in voestalpine Texas of approximately Euro 610 mn (approximately USD 680 million) at closing and thus to a significant reduction of the net financial debt of the voestalpine Group. Irrespective of this transaction, the company's outlook for the 2021/22 financial year will be raised from an EBITDA of previously up to Euro 2.2 bn to slightly below Euro 2.3 bn.

S Immo: CPI Property Group (CPIG) requested the management and supervisory boards of S Immo to convene an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) to resolve on the abolishment of the 15% voting cap. Due to merger control laws in multiple jurisdictions where CPIPG and S IMMO operate, CPIPG proposes that the resolution will become effective upon merger control clearances, which have already been initiated. If the resolution to abolish the voting cap is approved, and once the amended articles are registered in the Austrian companies register, CPIPG will obtain a controlling interest which conveys a dominating influence over S Immo. Thus, the Group intends to file a mandatory takeover offer for all outstanding shares of S Immo not held by CPIPG or parties acting in concert with the Group. The final offer price will be set and publicly communicated one week prior to the EGM at a minimum of Euro 22 per share cum dividend.
S Immo: weekly performance: 4.61%
