The consideration for equity of Hudson Group will be structured as a merger under the laws of the State of Delaware, whereby the non-Dufry shareholders of Hudson Group will receive an aggregate of 4,218,750 registered shares of Dufry Ltd., which will be sourced from Dufry Ltd.’s existing authorised capital (genehmigtes Kapital), as well as zero-coupon mandatory convertible notes («MCNs»), which will be convertible into 932,704 registered shares of Dufry Ltd. at no premium, which will be sourced from Dufry Ltd.’s existing conditional capital (bedingtes Kapital). The exchange ratio, at which the shares of Dufry Ltd and the MCNs will be issued, has been determined based on the 3-month weighted average price of the shares of Dufry Ltd. of CHF 85. per share and values 100% of Hudson Group’s equity.

Advent-Hudson, LLC, and Hudson Media Inc. are the selling holders of the issued and outstanding shares of Hudson Group. Übertragungsdatum: The expected closing date will be after the expiration of any waiting period (and any extension thereof) under the United States Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act («HSR Act») and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

As required by art. 20 SESTA, the disclosed percentages are based on the currently issued and registered share capital of Dufry Ltd. of CHF 70 312 500. divided into 14,062,500 registered shares and hence disregard the fact that upon issuance of 4,218,750 registered shares from the authorised capital and 932,704 registered shares from the conditional capital issuable upon conversion of the MCNs into shares, the issued share capital of Dufry Ltd. will comprise 19,213,954 registered shares, whereby the above notified percentages of 66.67% and 73.3%, respectively, will be reduced to 48.79% and 53.65%, respectively.
