Drillisch AG: 100 percent acquisition of VICTORVOX AG
Drillisch AG today announces that agreement has been reached in principle with
the remaining shareholders for the company to acquire 100 percent of VICTORVOX
AG. The complete acquisition of VICTORVOX AG by Drillisch AG is still contingent
upon the successful performance of all due diligence audits. Moreover, the
founding shareholders have a right of first refusal to the 28.1 percent of
shares acquired.
On 28 July Drillisch AG announced that agreement had been reached in principle
with the founding shareholders for the company to acquire a majority stake in
VICTORVOX AG, the Krefeld-based provider of mobile communication services. As
such, Drillisch AG acquired a stake of 71.9 percent in VICTORVOX AG. The
transaction was contingent upon the successful performance of all due diligence
audits and the approval of two of the remaining shareholders in VICTORVOX, who
had a right of first refusal. However, as Drillisch AG announced on 4 September
2003, these shareholders did not exercise these same rights within the periods
stipulated.
