Important Information:
This press release has been issued by Vonovia SE (Vonovia) solely for
information purposes. Moreover, it is neither an offer to purchase nor a
solicitation to sell securities of BUWOG AG (BUWOG). The final conditions
and further provisions relating to the takeover offer are contained in the
offer document. Vonovia as bidder reserves the right to deviate from the
terms presented herein in the final terms and provisions of the takeover
offer. Investors and holders of shares or convertible bonds in BUWOG are
strongly recommended to review the offer document and all other documents
related to the takeover offer, as they will contain important information.
In accordance with Austrian and European law, the takeover offer to acquire
a controlling interest will be conducted solely on the basis of the
applicable provisions of the Austrian law, in particular the Austrian
Takeover Act (Takeover Act). The intended takeover offer is not made or
intended to be made pursuant to the laws of any jurisdiction other than
those of Austria. With regard to the takeover offer Vonovia and the persons
acting in concert with Vonovia within the meaning of section 1 no. 6 of the
Takeover Act do not assume any responsibility for compliance with laws other
than the laws of Austria. Notifications and the publication of information
on the intended takeover offer are only intended in Austria, unless a
notification or other publication is required or permitted under the
respective laws of other jurisdictions.
To the extent permissible under applicable law or regulation, Vonovia or its
brokers may pur-chase, or conclude agreements to purchase, shares in BUWOG,
directly or indirectly, outside of the scope of the intended takeover offer,
before, during or after the period in which the takeover offer remains open
for acceptance. This also applies to other securities which are directly
convertible into, exchangeable for, or exercisable for BUWOG shares, such as
convertible bonds. These purchases may be conducted over the stock exchange
at market prices or outside the stock exchange at negotiated conditions. Any
information on such purchases will be disclosed as required by law or
regulation in Austria.
This press release may contain statements, assumptions, opinions and
predictions about the anticipated future development of Vonovia or BUWOG
(forward-looking statements) that reproduce various assumptions regarding
results derived from Vonovia's or BUWOG's current business or from publicly
available sources that have not been subject to an independent audit or
in-depth evaluation by Vonovia and that may turn out to be incorrect at a
later stage. All forward-looking statements express current expectations
based on the current business plan and various other assumptions and
therefore come with risks and uncertainties that are not insignificant. All
forward-looking statements should not therefore be taken as a guarantee for
future performance or results and, furthermore, do not necessarily
constitute appropriate indicators that the forecast results will be
achieved. All forward-looking statements relate solely to the day on which
this press release was issued to its recipients. It is the responsibility of
the recipients of this press release to conduct a more detailed analysis of
the validity of forward-looking statements and the underlying assumptions.
Vonovia accepts no responsibility for any direct or indirect damages or
losses or subsequent damages or losses, as well as penalties that the
recipients may incur by using the press release, its contents and, in
particular, all forward-looking statements or in any other way, as far as
this is legally permissible. Vonovia does not provide any guarantees or
assurances (either explicitly or implicitly) in respect of the information
contained in this press release. Vonovia is not obliged to update or correct
the information, forward-looking statements or conclusions drawn in this
press release or to include subsequent events or circumstances or to report
inaccuracies that become known after the date of this press release.
