Axactor offentliggjorde tirsdag en melding om budet mottatt i fjerde kvartal, og foreløpig resultatoppdatering. Av den fremkommer det at selskapet har stanset samtaler om salg av selskapet, etter at de mottok et bud på 22 kroner per aksje.
Årsaken til at budet ikke ble godtatt er «en helhetsvurdering av budet», inkludert den indikerte tidslinjen og en bestemmelse om at tilbudet ikke ville bli realisert på en «rettidig måte», står det videre.
De foreløpige resultatene viser et brutto driftsresultat (ebitda) på 23,8 millioner euro i fjerde kvartal, mot 19,6 millioner euro i samme periode i fjor.
Den fullstendige kvartalsrapporten legges frem 12. februar.

Axactor SE (“Axactor” or the “Company”) today announced that it has terminated discussions regarding a potential public offer for the Company that were initiated in Q4 2019. The decision followed receipt of an updated, conditional expression of interest (the “Proposal”), which was submitted after conclusion of due diligence. The Proposal included an offer price of NOK 22 per share. The termination by the Board of Axactor (the “Board”), in consultation with its appointed advisors ABG Sundal Collier and BAHR, was made on the basis of an overall assessment of the Proposal, including the indicated timeline, and a determination that confirmation of a definitive offer at adequate terms would not materialise in a timely manner. The Board hence concluded that putting full focus on execution of Axactor’s strategy must take priority, also as the Company sees a number of near-term opportunities in an increasingly attractive market for portfolio purchases, 3PC and forward flow agreements. As of this date, the Company is consequently not in any discussions regarding any structural transaction There can, however, be no assurance that any proposal relating to a transaction will or will not be made or that any such proposal, if made, will be recommended.
