PRESS RELEASE, 3 FEBRUARY 2012
SCHIBSTED ASA (SCH) - SCHIBSTED MAKES PUBLIC A SUPPLEMENT TO THE OFFER DOCUMENT
Schibsted ASA ("Schibsted") announced on 12 January 2012 an offer to the
shareholders in Aspiro AB ("Aspiro") to acquire all the shares in Aspiro for SEK
1.65 in cash per share (the "Offer"). Aspiro's Board of Directors has
recommended the shareholders to accept the Offer. On 17 January 2012, Schibsted
published an offer document regarding the Offer.
Schibsted has today made public a supplement to the offer document in connection
with the publication of Aspiro's year-end report for the financial year 2011 on
3 February 2012.
The supplement is available at Schibsted's website (www.schibsted.com/en) and
Nordea's website (www.nordea.se/placera) and it will be distributed to
shareholders in Aspiro whose shares were directly registered with Euroclear
Sweden AB on 13 January 2012.
The supplement should be read in conjunction with the offer document. In
accordance with Swedish law, shareholders who have accepted the Offer have the
right to withdraw the acceptance within five working days of the announcement of
the supplement; in all other respects the right to withdraw an acceptance of the
Offer applies in the same manner as set out in the offer document. For other
terms and conditions of the Offer, please refer to the offer document and the
supplement.
The acceptance period for the Offer commenced on 18 January 2012 and ends on 15
February 2012.
Settlement will begin as soon as Schibsted has announced that the conditions for
the Offer have been satisfied or that Schibsted has otherwise resolved to
complete the Offer. Assuming that such an announcement is made no later than on
17 February 2012, it is estimated that settlement will begin on or about 21
February 2012.
Schibsted reserves the right to extend the acceptance period for the Offer, as
well as the right to postpone the settlement date (payment to shareholders).
