*The elexis AG Board of Directors welcomes the raising of the bid price
entailed in the over-the-counter purchase by SMS GmbH
*Bid price by SMS GmbH is raised to 20.50 euros
Wenden, July 11, 2011- SMS GmbH has disclosed that, owing to an
over-the-counter agreement dated July 6, 2011, it has purchased a share
package in elexis AG amounting to around 15.28% for a cash price of 20.50
euros an elexis share. Thus the bid price offered to the shareholders of
elexis AG by SMS GmbH within the scope of the voluntary public takeover bid
will be increased by 1.50 euros to 20.50 euros from the original price of
19.00.
The Board of Directors welcomes the increase of the bid price. The Board of
Directors and the Group's Works Council had already advised elexis
shareholders to accept the bid in their statements pursuant to Section 27
of the Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act, (Wertpapiererwerbs- undÜbernahmegesetz - WpÜG), although the Supervisory Board, while considering
the takeover bid by SMS GmbH as potentially advantageous from a strategic
point of view, did not deem the bid price commensurate up to now in the
meaning of Section 31 of the Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act. In
the light of the bid price increase, the Supervisory Board now considers
the price offered as suitable.
