Bezons and Paris, October 21, 2020

Following the very large success of Worldline's friendly tender offer for Ingenico shares and OCEANEs1, the offer will be reopened from October 22 until November 4, 2020 (inclusive).

The reopened offer will allow Ingenico’s shareholders and OCEANEs holders having not yet tendered their securities to the offer to do so under unchanged conditions, as reminded hereafter:

  • An offer for Ingenico shares including a primary mixed offer and, subject to a "mix and match" mechanism, a secondary exchange offer and a secondary cash offer:

     
    • Primary mixed offer: 11 Worldline shares and €160.50 for 7 Ingenico shares
    • Secondary exchange offer: 56 Worldline shares in exchange for 29 Ingenico shares
    • Secondary cash offer: €123.10 per Ingenico share

       
  • An offer for Ingenico OCEANEs including an alternative between a mixed offer and a cash offer:

     
    • Mixed offer: 4 Worldline shares and €998 for 7 Ingenico OCEANEs
    • Cash offer: €179 for each Ingenico OCEANE

It is specified that the reduction rate that may result from the mix and match mechanism of the secondary branches for the Ingenico shares will only be applied to the Ingenico shares tendered during the reopening period of the offer without taking into account the shares tendered during the initial offer period for which the settlement-delivery will already have taken place.

Worldline further confirms its intention to implement a squeeze-out for the Ingenico shares and OCEANEs following the reopened offer; in this respect, it is very likely that the conditions for the squeeze-out will have already been satisfied on the settlement-delivery date of the initial2 offer.
