In this respect, Oslo Børs has also considered the other relevant conditions applicable for the exemption to present a mandatory offer pursuant to the Securities Trading Act section 6-22 3rd sub-section.
Aurelia Bidco Norway AS has resolved to effect a compulsory acquisition of the shares in Adevinta ASA not already held by Aurelia Bidco Norway AS or its wholly-owned subsidiary, Aurelia Bidco 1 Norway AS, pursuant to the Public Limited Liability Companies Act section 4-25.
