Groupe Rousselet, leader in mobility and storage services, filed on 31 May 2022, through Banque Degroof Petercam, a proposed public buyout offer followed by a squeeze-out for the shares of Ada, a car and van rental specialist with 1,200 outlets in France. The purpose of this transaction is to delist Ada's shares from the Euronext Growth® Paris market in order to simplify its operational functioning as the regulatory and administrative constraints related to its listing are no longer appropriate to its size and float.
Groupe Rousselet, has committed to acquire at a unit price of €18 the shares not held by the members of the Groupe Rousselet concert, i.e. 154,284 shares, representing 5.28% of the capital and 5.29% of the voting rights. At the end of the public buy-out offer for Ada shares, which ran from 7 to 20 July inclusive, Groupe Rousselet acquired 81,377 shares at a unit price of €18 and the concert thus holds 2,849,726 shares representing 97.51% of Ada's share capital.
The squeeze-out is scheduled for 1 August 2022 and will result in the delisting of Ada's shares from Euronext Growth® Paris.
