CLIQ Digital AG: Update regarding the ongoing public partial share repurchase
offer - assistance for shareholders and Management Board outlook on the
Company's future shareholder structure
· Acceptance period for the ongoing public partial share repurchase offer
at EUR 3.85 per share ends on 15 June 2026, 24:00 hours (CEST)
· The Company has been informed by several shareholders of practical
complications encountered when seeking to tender their CLIQ Shares through their
custodian bank
· The Management Board, together with the Supervisory Board, would
consider initiating a delisting of CLIQ Shares should Dylan Media B.V. come to
hold a qualified majority of at least 60% of the Company's share capital
following the Repurchase Offer
Düsseldorf, 9 June 2026. The Management Board of Cliq Digital AG ("CLIQ" or the
"Company") (ISIN DE000A35JS40) is providing this update in connection with the
public partial share repurchase offer announced on 29 April 2026 (the
"Repurchase Offer").
Partial repurchase offer (Information for shareholders on tendering)
In recent days, several shareholders have informed the Company of practical
complications encountered in the process of tendering their CLIQ Shares through
their respective custodian banks. In response to the feedback received, the
Company emphasises that shareholders who encounter any complications when
tendering through their custodian bank are invited to contact CLIQ directly at
investors@cliqdigital.com. The Company will, to the extent legally and
procedurally possible, provide assistance to facilitate participation in the
Repurchase Offer.
Outlook on the Company's future shareholder structure
The Repurchase Offer was initiated at the request of the Company's shareholder
Dylan Media B.V. ("Dylan Media"). Dylan Media has further requested that the
Management Board consider a delisting of CLIQ Shares following completion of the
Repurchase Offer. Depending on the outcome of the Repurchase Offer and the
resulting development of the Company's shareholder structure, the Management
Board - together with the Supervisory Board - would consider initiating a
delisting of CLIQ Shares from the regulated market in the event that Dylan Media
comes to hold a qualified majority of at least 60% of the Company's share
capital. A delisting would in particular result in CLIQ Shares no longer being
tradable on the open market, in a substantial reduction of liquidity in CLIQ
Shares, and in the cessation of the Company's related transparency and reporting
obligations under capital markets law. Shareholders who do not tender their CLIQ
Shares under the Repurchase Offer would continue to hold their shares but should
be aware of these potential consequences.
Further details of the Repurchase Offer are set out in the offer document
published on the Company's website (https://cliqdigital.com/investors/) in the
section "News & Shareholder Centre" under the heading "Share Repurchase Offer"
and in the Federal Gazette (https://www.bundesanzeiger.de).
