The offer covered a subset of the share capital

The notice reports 5,854,561 tenders, equal to 63.255% of shares targeted by the offer and 17.691% of all issued shares. The cash consideration was €43 per tendered share, with payment set for 15 May. Source 1 Source 2

Outside purchases also counted

Crown Bidco reported 5,027,792 purchases outside the offer through 8 May. The separate 21,180,411 shares already held by parties acting in concert gave the buyer group its starting position. Adding those two amounts and the tendered shares gives 32,062,764 shares. Source 2

The final count replaced a provisional figure

The 9 May notice revised tendered shares downward by 11,172 from the prior day’s provisional count. It still showed the buyer group above 95%, with 1,030,775 shares remaining outside the group at payment. Source 2

The residual procedure led to the end of trading

The offeror described a joint purchase procedure for the remaining 3.115%. Borsa Italiana records the delisting on 7 June and identifies the Crown Bidco voluntary tender as the reason. Source 2 Source 3
