Aalst, 22 September 2017 (12:30) – Montea Comm. VA announces that, with regard to its public offering to subscribe to 1,658,647 new shares maximum at a price of EUR 41 per share, it has received subscriptions for 1.508.040 new shares through the exercise of irreducible allocation rights (6 irreducible allocation rights entitle the holder to subscribe to 1 new share). This represents a take-up of 90.9% of the maximum offer amount of EUR 68,004,527.

The subscription period with irreducible allocation rights ended on Thursday, 21 September 2017. The 903,644 irreducible allocation rights that were not exercised during the subscription period will be offered in the form of scrips through an accelerated private placement reserved for institutional investors, to take place on 22 September 2017.

The buyers of these scrips can subscribe to the new shares still available and thus commit themselves irrevocably under the same conditions as during the subscription period with irreducible allocation right: 1 new share at EUR 41 per share against 6 irreducible allocation rights in the form of scrips. The net results of the sale of scripts will be made available by Montea, after deduction of the costs, to the holders of Coupon No. 17 who have not exercised or transferred their irrevocable allocation rights during the subscription period and are paid to them upon issue of Coupon No. 17 from September 29, 2017. If the net result is less than EUR 0.01 per scrip, it will not be paid to the holders of the non-exercised irreducible allocation rights but it will be transferred to Montea.

Trading of the shares in Montea on the regulated market of Euronext Brussels and Euronext Paris is suspended at Montea’s request on September22, 2017 from the opening of the stock exchange until the results of the accelerated private placement of the scrips are announced through a press release (including the results of the private placement of the scrips). The press release will be published later on the Montea website and through the press.

The results of the sale of scrips and the final results of the public offering will be announced through a press release, in principle on Friday, 22 September 2017.
