Saint-Cloud (France), September 12, 2017 - Elis SA ("Elis") today announces the
completion of the acquisition of Berendsen plc ("Berendsen"), a focused European
textile, hygiene and safety solution company.
With this transaction, Elis is enhancing its unique position as a multi-service
provider in the rental, laundry and maintenance of flat linen, workwear and
hygiene and well-being appliances. This transaction will allow the combined
group to become a pan-European leader in the provision of textile, hygiene and
facility solutions. The combined group will be geographically diversified and
well-positioned in the majority of markets in which it will operate. Elis
believes the combined group will be well-placed to deliver enhanced strategic
and financial value to Berendsen shareholders and Elis shareholders and to
pursue further growth.
Xavier Martiré, Chairman of the Management Board of Elis, commented: "The
acquisition of Berendsen marks an important step in Elis's growth strategy. With
this transaction, we are creating a pan-European textile, hygiene and facility
services leader with a strong customer offer. We look forward to working
together with Berendsen's teams to continue growing and creating value for both
Elis and Berendsen shareholders."
69,052,152 new Elis shares (ISIN: FR0012435121) will be issued on September
13, 2017 for completion of the transaction as well as 10,131,713 new Elis shares
for completion of the capital increase reserved to Canada Pension Plan
Investment Board. Dealings in the new Elis shares will commence from the date of
