Disclosure in accordance with Articles 6(1) and 8 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 regarding potential stabilization measures
In connection with the placement of the shares, Goldman Sachs International, acting for the account of the underwriters, will act as stabilization manager (the “Stabilization Manager”) and may, as Stabilization Manager, make overallotments and take stabilization measures in accordance with Article 5(4) and (5) of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of April 16, 2014 on market abuse in conjunction with Articles 5 through 8 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 of March 8, 2016.
Stabilization measures aim at supporting the market price of the shares of Siemens Healthineers AG during the stabilization period, such period starting on the date Siemens Healthineers AG’s shares commence trading on the regulated market (Prime Standard) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse), expected to be March 16, 2018, and ending no later than 30 calendar days thereafter (the “Stabilization Period”). However, the Stabilization Manager is under no obligation to take any stabilization measures. Therefore, stabilization may not necessarily occur and it may cease at any time. Stabilization measures may be undertaken at the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, Xetra, BATS Europe, Berlin Stock Exchange, Bremen Stock Exchange, Chi-X Exchange, Dusseldorf Stock Exchange, Equiduct MTF, Eurocac Stock Exchange, Hamburg Stock Exchange, Hanover Stock Exchange, IBIS, Munich Stock Exchange, Stuttgart Stock Exchange, Turquoise MTF, VirtX Exchange.
In connection with such stabilization measures, investors will be allocated additional 19,565,217 shares of Siemens Healthineers AG (15% of the base shares offered in the IPO) (the “Overallotment Shares”). In addition, Siemens Beteiligungsverwaltung GmbH & Co. OHG (the “Selling Shareholder”) has granted the underwriters an option to acquire a number of shares in Siemens Healthineers AG equal to the number of Overallotment Shares at the offer price, less agreed commissions (so-called Greenshoe option). To the extent Overallotment Shares are allocated to investors in the IPO, the Stabilization Manager, acting for the account of the underwriters, is entitled to exercise this option during the Stabilization Period even if such exercise follows any sale of shares by the Stabilization Manager which the Stabilization Manager had previously acquired as part of any stabilization measures (so-called refreshing the shoe).
