The management board of Netia S.A. (“Netia”) hereby announces that on 16 December 2011 Netia acquired 19,598,000 shares in Telefonia Dialog S.A., with its registered office in Wrocław (“Dialog”), with a nominal value of PLN 25 each and the aggregate nominal value of PLN 489,950,000, which constitute 100% of the shares in the share capital of Dialog and represent 100% of the votes at the general meetings of Dialog (the “Shares”).
The acquisition of the Shares occurred as a result of the performance of the obligations resulting from the conditional agreement creating the requirement to sell shares in Dialog executed between Netia and KGHM Polska Miedź SA ("KGHM") on 29 September 2011 (the “Conditional Agreement”) after the payment of the purchase price and the fulfilment of a condition precedent involving the obtainment of the unconditional consent of the Polish Antimonopoly Authority for the takeover of Dialog (the “Condition Precedent”). The shares were acquired by Netia from KGHM via Dom Inwestycyjny BRE Bank S.A. The execution of the Conditional Agreement and the fulfilment of the Condition Precedent were announced by Netia in its current reports 45/2011 dated 29 September 2011 and 69/2011 dated 9 December 2011, respectively.
The final price paid by the Company for the Shares was calculated in accordance with the formula stipulated in the Conditional Agreement and was PLN 968,926,898. The price for the Shares includes the Dialog’s enterprise value of PLN 890 million and the equivalent of the net cash balance of Dialog of PLN 54 million as at 31 May 2011 (the “Locked-Box” date), all increased by the interest accruing on the price at the rate of 4.76% per annum from 31 May 2011 until the transaction closing date. Cash generated in Dialog from the Locked Box date until closing of the transaction accumulates in Dialog. The book value of the Shares in Netia accounts is PLN 968,926,898.
