Swisslog Holding AG requests merger with cash compensation and delisting of shares
Following a successful public offer, KUKA AG holds a stake of more than 96% in Swisslog Holding AG. In order to fully integrate Swisslog in the KUKA group, thereby streamlining the structure and management of the group, the Board of Directors of Swisslog has signed a merger agreement with KUKA Beteiligungen (Schweiz) AG, a subsidiary of KUKA AG. This agreement will be submitted to the extraordinary General Meeting on 28 July 2015 for approval.
Instead of shares in the absorbing company, the Swisslog shareholders (except for KUKA AG) will receive a cash compensation amounting to CHF 1.35 per registered share. The merged company will operate under the name Swisslog Holding AG. The Swisslog brand and the company’s head office in Buchs will remain.
Swisslog has requested SIX Swiss Exchange to delist the Swisslog share. The last trading day will most likely be 28 July 2015.
