The offer shall remain subject to regulatory and administrative approvals, including the American "CFIUS" procedure and the authorization of the Ministry of Economy for foreign investments in France, as well as the required merger control authorizations, in particular in Germany.
Searchlight Capital Partners intends to implement the squeeze-out procedure at the outcome of its tender offer if the legal and statutory conditions are fulfilled.
