The Swiss takeover commission has granted the planned opting-out in the course of simplifying dormakaba’s ownership structure provisional legal validity, provided transparency requirements and shareholder approval — including the majority of the minority — are met. The transaction does not trigger a mandatory offer for the Mankel family’s shareholders. Kaba family shareholders are treated as minority shareholders and their votes count toward the majority of the minority. Qualified shareholders with at least 3% of voting rights can file an objection within five trading days; a fee of CHF 50,000 has been set for the procedure, to be borne jointly by dormakaba, the Mankel shareholders and the Kaba shareholders. » More on finanzen.net
