2010-09-21 16:30:00 CEST 2010-09-21 16:30:41 CEST REGULATED INFORMATION Citycon Oyj - PörssitiedoteCitycon Oyj tiedottaa aikomuksestaan tarjota osakkeita suomalaisille ja kansainvälisille institutionaalisille sijoittajilleCITYCON OYJ Pörssitiedote 21.9.2010 klo 17:30 NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, CANADA, JAPAN, AUSTRALIA, SOUTH AFRICA OR IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH OFFERS OR SALES WOULD BE PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW. Citycon Oyj:n ("Citycon" tai "Yhtiö") hallitus tiedottaa tänään aikomuksestaan tarjota enintään 22 000 000 uutta Yhtiön osaketta ("Osakkeet"). Osakkeet tarjotaan suomalaisille ja kansainvälisille institutionaalisille sijoittajille nopeutetussa tarjousmenettelyssä osakkeenomistajien merkintäetuoikeudesta poiketen ("Osakeanti"). Osakeannissa tarjottavien Osakkeiden merkintähinta tulee perustumaan tarjousmenettelyssä määräytyneeseen hintaan. Tarjottavat Osakkeet vastaavat noin 9,9 prosenttia Cityconin kaikista osakkeista ja äänistä välittömästi ennen Osakeantia. Cityconin varsinainen yhtiökokous antoi 13.3.2007 hallitukselle valtuutuksen laskea liikkeeseen Osakkeita osakkeenomistajien merkintäetuoikeudesta poiketen. Yhtiö aikoo käyttää Osakeannin nettotuotot maksaakseen takaisin Yhtiön korollisia velkoja ja vahvistaakseen pääomarakennettaan. Osakeanti tarjoaisi Yhtiölle lisää taloudellista joustavuutta Yhtiön toteuttaessa kehitysprojekteja ja mahdollisia hankintoja Yhtiön investointistrategian mukaisesti sekä myös laajentaisi Yhtiön omistuspohjaa. Cityconin suurin osakkeenomistaja Gazit-Globe Ltd., kansainvälinen listattu kiinteistöyhtiö, on ilmaissut tukensa Osakeannille osana pitkän tähtäimen strategiaansa alueella. Osakeanti toteutetaan tiettyjen ehtojen täyttyessä Kempen & Co:n ("Kempen") toteuttamassa nopeutetussa tarjousmenettelyssä suomalaisille ja kansainvälisille institutionaalisille sijoittajille. Tarjousmenettely alkaa välittömästi ja sen oletetaan päättyvän ennen päivän päättymistä. Merkintätarjousten vastaanottaminen voidaan kuitenkin keskeyttää koska tahansa tarjousmenettelyjakson kuluessa. Yhtiö ja Kempen määrittävät tarjousmenettelyn päätyttyä tarjottavien Osakkeiden määrän ja hinnan, jolla Osakkeet tarjotaan. Yksityiskohdat Osakkeiden lukumäärästä ja merkintähinnasta tiedotetaan niin pian kuin mahdollista tarjousmenettelyn päätyttyä. Yhtiö on solminut Osakeannin yhteydessä myyntirajoitussopimuksen (lock-up agreement), jonka mukaan se sitoutuu tietyin poikkeuksin olemaan laskematta liikkeeseen tai myymättä Cityconin osakkeita ajanjaksona, joka päättyy 90 päivää Osakeannin toteuttamisen jälkeen. Osakkeet tuottavat haltijoillensa osakkeenomistajien oikeudet, mukaan lukien oikeuden saada Yhtiön mahdollisesti jakaman täyden osingon sen jälkeen, kun Osakkeet on rekisteröity kaupparekisteriin. Yhtiö hakee Osakkeiden ottamista julkisen kaupankäynnin kohteeksi NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Oy:ssä. Julkisen kaupankäynnin Osakkeilla odotetaan alkavan arviolta 24.9.2010. Osakeannin järjestäjänä toimii Kempen (Sole Bookrunner and Lead Manager).
