Rocket Internet SE: Rocket Internet completes placement of shares of
HelloFresh SE
Berlin, 18 April, 2018 - Rocket Internet SE ("Rocket Internet") completes
the sale of 12.2 million shares of HelloFresh SE (the "Placement"). The
Placement price per share of HelloFresh SE ("HelloFresh") was set at
EUR12.30 (the "Placement Price").
The placement followed an accelerated bookbuilt offering to institutional
investors only. Closing of the transaction is expected to take place on
April 23, 2018.
Rocket Internet's shareholding in HelloFresh SE will be subject to an
additional 90-day lock-up extension until and including July 30, 2018 (23:59
CEST) (the "Lock-Up Extension").
Rocket Internet offers other pre-IPO shareholders of HelloFresh SE the
opportunity to sell shares of HelloFresh (pro rata to their pre-IPO
shareholding as a percentage of the final number of shares sold in the
Placement) to Rocket Internet at the Placement Price less costs and expenses
(on a pro rata basis), provided, however, that Rocket Internet will only
grant such a put option if the relevant shareholder enters into a lock-up
agreement with the joint bookrunners on substantially the same terms as the
Lock-Up Extension. Such put option will lapse on the third business day
following today.
