Free Float and Delisting

Article content

The Offer is intended to achieve the acquisition of the entire Issuer’s share capital and the Delisting.

Article content

Following completion of the Offer (including the potential extension of the Acceptance Period in accordance with applicable laws or the potential Reopening of the Terms), if the conditions for the Delisting are not fulfilled, it cannot be excluded that there may be an insufficient free float to ensure the regular trading of the Common Shares.

Article content

In such a case, Borsa Italiana may order the suspension of trading in the Common Shares and/or the Delisting pursuant to Article 2.5.1 of the Stock Exchange Regulation. To this extent, the Offeror hereby declares, also on behalf of the Persons Acting in Concert, that it will not restore a sufficient free float to ensure the regular trading of the Common Shares.

Article content

In the event of Delisting, the holders of the Common Shares who did not tender their Common Shares in the Offer will become holders of financial instruments not traded on any regulated market, with consequent difficulties in liquidating their investment in the future. Further details can be found in Section A.16(C) (Shortage of free float after the Offer) and Section G.3 (Free float restoration) of the Offer Document.

General restrictions
The offer referred to in this press release (the “Offer”) is promoted by TML CV Holdings Pte. Ltd. (“TML CV HS”), through TML CV Holdings B.V., a company wholly-owned by TML CV HS (the “Offeror”) on all issued and outstanding common shares (the “Shares”) of Iveco Group N.V. (“Iveco”). This press release does not constitute either a purchase offer or a solicitation to sell the Shares of Iveco.

Article content

The Offeror has published an offer document (the “Offer Document”), which Iveco’s shareholders must carefully review. The Offer is addressed, on equal conditions, to all the holders of the Common Shares and will be launched in Italy and extended to the United States of America in compliance with Section 14(e) and Regulation 14E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “U.S. Securities Exchange Act”), subject to the applicable exemptions set forth in Rule 14d-1(d) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act. Except as indicated below, the Offer is subject to disclosure obligations and procedural requirements provided for by Italian law. US Iveco shareholders should be aware that such requirements may differ materially from those applicable under US domestic tender offer law and practice.

Article content

In accordance with the laws of, and practice in, Italy and to the extent permitted by applicable law, including Rule 14e-5 under the U.S. Exchange Act, the Offeror, the Offeror’s affiliates or any nominees or brokers of the foregoing (acting as agents, or in a similar capacity, for Iveco or any of its affiliates, as applicable) may from time to time, and other than pursuant to the Offer, directly or indirectly, purchase, or arrange to purchase, outside of the United States of America, Common Shares in Iveco or any securities that are convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for such Common Shares in Iveco before or during the period in which the Offer remains open for acceptance. These purchases may occur either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices. To the extent information about such purchases or arrangements to purchase is made public in Italy, such information will be disclosed by means of a press release or other means reasonably calculated to inform US shareholders of Iveco of such information. In addition, subject to the applicable laws of Italy and US securities laws, including Rule 14e-5 under the U.S. Exchange Act, the financial advisers to the Offeror or their respective affiliates may also engage in ordinary course trading activities in securities of Iveco, which may include purchases or arrangements to purchase such securities.

Article content

In order to comply with the rules and exemptions provided by US law, an Offer Document translated into English is being made available to the holders of the Common Shares resident in the United States of America. The English version of the Offer Document is merely a courtesy translation and the Italian version of the Offer Document will be the only document submitted to Consob for its approval.

Article content

It may not be possible for US shareholders to effect service of process within the United States of America upon Iveco, the Offeror or any of their respective affiliates, or their respective officers or directors, some or all of which may reside outside the United States of America, or to enforce against any of them judgments of the United States of America courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States of America or other US law. It may not be possible to bring an action against Iveco, the Offeror and/or their respective officers or directors (as applicable) in a non-US court for violations of US laws. Further, it may not be possible to compel the Offeror or Iveco or their respective affiliates, as applicable, to subject themselves to the judgment of a US court. In addition, it may be difficult to enforce outside the United States of America original actions, or actions for the enforcement of judgments of US courts, based on the civil liability provisions of the US federal securities laws.

Article content

The Offer, if completed, may have consequences under US federal income tax and under applicable U.S. state and local, as well as non-U.S., tax laws. Each shareholder of Iveco is urged to consult its independent professional adviser immediately regarding the tax consequences of the Offer.

Article content

NEITHER THE U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY SECURITIES COMMISSION OR OTHER REGULATORY AUTHORITY IN ANY STATE OF THE U.S. HAS APPROVED OR DECLINED TO APPROVE THE OFFER OR THIS ANNOUNCEMENT, PASSED UPON THE FAIRNESS OR MERITS OF THE OFFER OR PROVIDED AN OPINION AS TO THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT OR ANY OFFER DOCUMENT. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE IN THE UNITED STATES.

Article content

The Offer has not been and will not be launched or promoted by the Offeror in Canada, Japan, Australia or in any other country other than Italy and the United States of America in which such Offer is not permitted in absence of the authorisation of the competent authorities or other obligations from the Offeror (such countries, including Canada, Japan and Australia, jointly, the “Other Countries”), nor by using instruments of communication or national or international commerce of the Other Countries (including but not limited to the postal network, fax, telex, email, telephone and internet), nor by way of any structure of any of the financial intermediaries of the Other Countries nor in any other way.

Article content

This press release, as well as any other document that has or will be issued in connection with the Offer does not constitute and cannot be interpreted as an offer to purchase or solicitation of an offer to sell financial instruments to parties resident in Other Countries. No instrument may be offered or sold in the Other Countries in the absence of specific authorisation in compliance with the applicable provisions of the local law of those countries or in derogation of those provisions. Tenders in the Offer by parties resident in countries other than Italy and the United States of America may be subject to specific obligations or restrictions provided by law or regulatory provisions. Parties who wish to take part in the Offer bear the exclusive responsibility to comply with those laws and therefore prior to tendering their Common Shares in the Offer, those parties are required to verify their possible existence and applicability, consulting their own advisors.
