Friheden Invest A/S has submitted an offer to the shareholders of IC Group

Today, IC Group has been informed by Friheden Invest A/S that Friheden Invest A/S has decided to submit a public, unconditional offer to the shareholders of IC Group in which they offer to buy all shares in IC Group at DKK 39 in cash per share with a nominal value of DKK 10 each. Friheden Invest A/S is ultimately wholly-owned by Niels Martinsen and Emilie Martinsen-Kønigsfeldt.

As the offer from Friheden Invest A/S will merely result in a consolidation of the existing control of IC Group, the offer is not subject to the provisions of the Danish Capital Market Act relating to offers (Consolidated Act No. 459 of 24 April 2019 on capital markets as subsequently amended) or the Danish Executive Order on Takeover Bids (Executive Order No. 1171 of 31 October 2017 on takeover offers).

As a consequence of the above, IC Group will not prepare a report in terms of the offer.

The offer from Friheden Invest A/S is attached to this announcement (attachment only in Danish).
