Reinhart Marville Torre advises NextStage AM on the project to sell its stake in Wedia SA

Hadrien Bourrellis, a partner at the law firm Reinhart Marville Torre, advises NextStage AM on the project to sell its stake in Wedia SA, which would be followed by a simplified public tender offer by a consortium led by Cathay for the remaining shares.

Cathay Capital Private Equity and Wedia SA (listed on Euronext Growth) have announced the submission of a firm offer to the main shareholders of Wedia, including NextStage AM, the company’s largest shareholder with 19.6% of the share capital, and the entry into exclusive negotiations to acquire a controlling block of Wedia, representing a total of 58.0% of the share capital and theoretical voting rights of Wedia, at a price of 30.50 euros per share.

To this end, a put option has been granted under usual conditions to the sellers for the acquisition by an SPV, named Mercure. The sellers have the option to decide whether to proceed after the information-consultation procedure with Wedia’s social and economic committee.

Once the acquisition of the block is completed, a simplified public tender offer (SPTO) for the remaining Wedia shares will be filed, subject to AMF compliance review, followed by a compulsory buyout procedure if the legal and regulatory conditions are met after the SPTO.

The price will be increased by an additional 1.25 euros per share if the threshold for compulsory buyout of 90% of the capital and voting rights is reached following the simplified public tender offer.

Wedia’s board of directors has appointed Finexsi as an independent expert to prepare a report, including a fairness opinion on the financial terms of the SPTO.
