Seller 1, Seller 2, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, the Purchaser and McKesson are referred to collectively as the “Parties” and each of them as a “Party”.
Whereas:
| (A) | Celesio AG is a stock corporation (Aktiengesellschaft) incorporated under the laws of Germany, having its corporate seat in Stuttgart, Germany, and its registered office at ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, and is registered with the commercial register of the local court (Amtsgericht) of Stuttgart under registration number HRB 9517 (“Celesio”). Celesio has currently a registered share capital (Grundkapital) of EUR 217,728,000 split into 170,100,000 registered no par value shares (auf den Namen |
| lautende Stückaktien), each representing a notional share in the registered capital (rechnerische Beteiligung am Grundkapital) of EUR 1.28 (all shares issued by the Celesio from time to time the “Celesio Shares”). |
| (B) | The Celesio Shares currently issued are admitted to trading inter alia on the regulated market (regulierter Markt) (Prime Standard) of the stock exchange in Frankfurt am Main under securities identification number ISIN DE000CLS1001. The Celesio Shares are included inter alia in the stock market index MDAX. |
| (C) | Celesio Finance B.V. – a wholly owned subsidiary of Celesio – has issued (i) convertible bonds in the nominal value of EUR 50,000 per bond with an aggregate nominal amount of ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ (▇▇▇▇: DE000A1AN5K5) which are convertible into new or existing no par value ordinary registered shares in Celesio (each such bond a “2014 Bond”) and (ii) convertible bonds in the nominal value of EUR 100,000 per bond with an aggregate nominal amount of ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ (▇▇▇▇: DE000A1GPH50) which are convertible into new or existing no par value ordinary registered shares in Celesio (each such bond a “2018 Bond”, and the 2018 Bonds together with the 2014 Bonds the “Bonds”). |
| (D) | McKesson is the sole indirect shareholder of Purchaser (McKesson together with its subsidiaries within the meaning of section 15 et seq. German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz, the “Stock Corporation Act”), the “McKesson Group”). |
| (E) | After execution and completion of this Agreement Purchaser may consider to announce and launch either a voluntary public takeover offer or a mandatory public takeover offer (each a “Takeover Offer”) pursuant to the German Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act (Wertpapiererwerbs- und Übernahmegesetz, “Takeover Act”) to all shareholders of Celesio to acquire their Celesio Shares (for the avoidance of doubt, including new Celesio Shares issued following the exercise of any conversion rights under the Bonds under ISIN DE000CLS1043) and will offer an offer consideration of EUR 23.50 per tendered Celesio Share, unless mandatory law requires a higher offer consideration (“Takeover Offer Consideration”). |
| (F) | If and to the extent that Acquirors meet the legal prerequisites, and subject to certain considerations or obligations that any Acquiror may have, Acquirors will consider whether to initiate and pass respective resolutions with regard to (i) the execution of a domination and profit and loss transfer agreement between the Purchaser as dominating company and Celesio as dominated company pursuant to sections 291 et seq. of the Stock Corporation Act (“DPLTA”), and/or (ii) a squeeze out of the minority shareholders of Celesio based on the German Transformation Act (Umwandlungsgesetz), the Takeover Act or the Stock Corporation Act (each a “Squeeze-Out”). Such a DPLTA and Squeeze-Out would provide for, inter alia, an obligation on the part of the Purchaser to offer the outside Celesio shareholders to acquire their Celesio Shares for an appropriate cash consideration (“Cash Compensation”), and, in case of a DPLTA, to offer to pay the remaining outside Celesio shareholders a compensation by way of recurring payments (guaranteed dividend) (“Guaranteed Dividend”). |
| (G) | ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ controls Seller 1 and Seller 2 (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ together with Seller 1, Seller 2, its other affiliated companies (verbundens Unternehmen) within the meaning of section 15 et seq. of the Stock Corporation Act and entities controlled by it or controlling it hereafter the “▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group”). |
| (H) | Members of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group hold title to an undisclosed number of Celesio Shares. Moreover, Seller 1 holds title to a total of 3,147 2014 Bonds and a total of 1,417 2018 Bonds (“Seller 1 Bonds”), and Seller 2 holds title to a total of 1,693 2014 Bonds and a total of 763 2018 Bonds (“Seller 2 Bonds”). Together Seller 1 and Seller 2 therefore hold title to a total of 4840 2014 Bonds (“2014 Seller Bonds”) and title to a total of 2180 2018 Bonds, (“2018 Seller Bonds”, together with the 2014 Seller Bonds the “Seller Bonds”). |
| (I) | Sellers intend to sell and transfer all Seller Bonds and Purchaser intends to purchase and acquire all Seller Bonds subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. |
