DOCOMO Digital GmbH: Announcement on the result of the public acquisition offer for the shares in net mobile AG

On 14 January 2016, DOCOMO Digital GmbH (hereinafter the “Bidder”), a 100% subsidiary of the Japanese stock corporation NTT DOCOMO, INC., published a public offer for the acquisition of all outstanding shares in net mobile AG (hereinafter “net mobile”) which are traded on the Open Market / Entry Standard of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (ISIN DE0008137852). The offer price was EUR 6.50 per net mobile share.

The acceptance period of the Bidder’s public acquisition offer expired on 11 February 2016, 24:00 (CET). A total of 949,104 net mobile shares (representing approx. 7.62% of the share capital) was tendered into the public acquisition offer. The Bidder’s shareholding of approx. 87.36% at the beginning of the acceptance period together with the shares tendered into the public acquisition offer represent approx. 94.98% of the share capital of net mobile.

Outside the public acquisition offer and in addition to the tendered shares, the Bidder has acquired until today a total of 100,000 net mobile shares (representing approx. 0.8% of the share capital) on identical economic terms and conditions. Therefore, the Bidder will hold a total of 11,923,773 net mobile shares (representing approx. 95.79% of the share capital) after the public acquisition offer will have been settled.

The settlement of the public acquisition offer including the payment of the offer price will take place on 19 February 2016 in accordance with section 4.6 of the offer document. Contrary to what is the case for public takeover offers governed by the German Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act, net mobile shareholders do not have the possibility to still tender their shares into the Bidder’s public acquisition offer after the acceptance period expired.

Important notice

net mobile shares are not admitted to trading on the regulated market but are instead traded on the Open Market (market segment Entry Standard) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. The acquisition offer and the implementation thereof are therefore not governed by the provisions of the German Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act. The Bidder would like to point out that the acquisition offer does not fall under the jurisdiction of the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) and has been neither reviewed nor approved by it; it will not be reviewed by this authority in future, either.

The acquisition offer is addressed exclusively to all net mobile shareholders who have their place of residence and their place of habitual abode or their corporate seat, as applicable, in the Federal Republic of Germany. Other net mobile shareholders are excluded from the acquisition offer, in particular, net mobile shareholders who have their place of residence, place of habitual abode or corporate seat in the United States of America. The acquisition offer will be implemented exclusively according to the law of the Federal Republic of Germany.

This announcement is made for information purposes only and does not constitute an invitation to make an offer to sell any net mobile shares. With the exception of the offer document published in connection with the acquisition offer, this announcement as well as any other information provided in connection with the acquisition offer also does not constitute an offer to purchase any net mobile shares.
