As previously announced, the Offer expired at 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on April 26, 2019 (the “Expiration Date”), and was not further extended. The Company has been informed by Offeror that, pursuant to the Offer, Offeror has accepted for payment 150,000,000 Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date for aggregate consideration of approximately $1,747.5 million.
Offeror has informed the Company that, including Shares delivered pursuant to notices of guaranteed delivery, the total number of Shares validly tendered into the Offer and timely delivered was 336,614,903. Because the Offer was oversubscribed, the number of Shares purchased from each tendering stockholder has been prorated to limit the aggregate number of Shares purchased to 150,000,000. Offeror has informed the Company that the final proration factor for the Offer is 44.56%.
The Company remains a public company and the Shares continue to be listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). As a result of the consummation of the Offer, the previously-announced Stockholders Agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement”) by and among Offeror, JAB Holdings B.V. and JAB Cosmetics B.V. became effective automatically and immediately. Further information regarding the terms of the Stockholders Agreement is available in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
