Notice to U.S. Shareholders
U.S. shareholders are advised that the shares of Hoivatilat are not registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and that Hoivatilat is not subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and is not required to, and does not, file any reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) thereunder. The Tender Offer is open to Hoivatilat’s shareholders resident in the United States and is made on the same terms and conditions as those made to all other shareholders of Hoivatilat to whom an offer is made. Any information documents are being disseminated to U.S. shareholders on a basis comparable to the method that such documents are provided to Hoivatilat’s other shareholders.
The Tender Offer is made for the issued and outstanding shares in Hoivatilat, which is domiciled in Finland. Information distributed in connection with the Tender Offer is subject to the disclosure requirements of Finland, which are different from those of the United States. In particular, the financial statements and financial information included in the Tender Offer Document have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards in Finland, which may not be comparable to the financial statements or financial information of U.S. companies.
It may be difficult for Hoivatilat’s shareholders to enforce their rights and any claims they may have arising under the federal securities laws, since Aureit Holding Oy (the “Offeror”) and Hoivatilat are located in non-U.S. jurisdictions, and some or all of their respective officers and directors may be residents of non-U.S. jurisdictions. Hoivatilat’s shareholders may not be able to sue the Offeror or Hoivatilat or their respective officers or directors in a non-U.S. court for violations of the U.S. securities laws. It may be difficult to compel the Offeror and Hoivatilat and their respective affiliates to subject themselves to a U.S. court’s judgment.
The Tender Offer is expected to be made in the United States pursuant to Section 14(e) and Regulation 14E under the Exchange Act as a “Tier II” tender offer, and otherwise in accordance with the requirements of Finnish law. Accordingly, the Tender Offer will be subject to disclosure and other procedural requirements, including with respect to withdrawal rights, the offer timetable, settlement procedures and timing of payments that are different from those applicable under U.S. domestic tender offer procedures and law.
To the extent permissible under applicable law or regulations, including Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, the Offeror and its affiliates or brokers (acting as agents for the Offeror or its affiliates, as applicable) may from time to time, directly or indirectly, purchase or arrange to purchase outside of the Tender Offer shares of Hoivatilat or any securities that are convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for such shares of Hoivatilat, provided that no such purchases or arrangements to purchase outside of the Tender Offer will be made in the United States by or on behalf of the Offeror or its affiliates or for a price that is greater than the Offer Price. To the extent information about such purchases or arrangements to purchase is made public in Finland, such information will be disclosed by means of a press release or other means reasonably calculated to inform U.S. shareholders of Hoivatilat of such information. In addition, the financial advisers to the Offeror, or affiliates of the financial advisors, may also engage in ordinary course trading activities in securities of Hoivatilat, which may include purchases or arrangements to purchase such securities.
Neither the SEC nor any U.S. state securities commission has approved or disapproved the Tender Offer, or passed any comment upon the adequacy or completeness of any tender offer document. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the United States.
