De Brauw advises Exor on EUR 750 million buyback tender offer

De Brauw has acted as lead counsel to Exor on a – for the Netherlands - rare tender offer to repurchase ordinary shares. The EUR 750 million tender offer is part of a larger EUR 1 billion share buy-back program. The tender offer will be executed via a reverse "Dutch auction", allowing qualifying shareholders to select the price at which they wish to sell their shares back to Exor within a pre-determined price range, extending in 1% increments, from a 3% discount to a 10% premium over a VWAP reference price. The tender offer is supported by Exor majority shareholder Giovanni Agnelli B.V., which has committed to participate for an amount of up to EUR 250 million at or above the reference price. As trusted lead legal adviser to Exor, De Brauw was involved in all strategic and legal aspects of the tender offer, the majority shareholder commitment, and the drafting of documentation including the offer memorandum.
