The following information is based on a press release from DuPont Denmark Holding ApS (DuPont) dated May 16, 2011 and may be subject to change.
DuPont has announced that it has received valid acceptances in respect of approximately 92.2 % of the shares in Danisco A/S (Danisco). On this basis DuPont has resolved to complete the offer for all outstanding shares in Danisco whereby every one (1) Danisco share held entitles their holder to a cash payment of DKK 700.00. If Danisco, as a result of the offer, requests for a de-listing of the underlying share or if the trading in the same is considered to be insufficient to support related derivatives trading, NASDAQ OMX Derivatives Markets will (1) set a new expiration day for options and futures contracts in Danisco and (2) settle the contracts at Fair Value.
