京東集團-SW(09618.HK)：決定向CECONOMY作出自願公開收購要約並建立戰略投資夥伴關係
格隆匯7月31日丨京東集團-SW(09618.HK)今日宣佈，決定通過全資間接附屬公司JINGDONG Holding Germany GmbH(“出價方”)向歐洲領先的消費電子產品零售商MediaMarkt及Saturn的母公司CECONOMY AG (“CECONOMY”)(XETRA: CEC)所有股東作出自願公開收購要約，以每股4.60歐元的現金對價收購CECONOMY的所有已發行及流通的不記名股份(“CECONOMY股份”)(“收購要約”)。
出價方與CECONOMY亦已就收購要約及完成收購要約後雙方的合作意向簽訂投資協議。此外，就未來合作事宜，出價方與CECONOMY的最大股東，包括Convergenta Invest GmbH及相關股東(統稱“Convergenta”)已簽訂股東協議，該協議的生效以收購要約的完成爲前提。因此，收購要約完成後，Convergenta將持有25.35%的CECONOMY股份。
Convergenta通過不可撤銷承諾就持有的3.81% CECONOMY股份接受此次收購要約，將其在CECONOMY的股權自現有的29.16%降至上述比例。出價方亦已與CECONOMY的多位股東簽訂協議，根據該等協議，該等股東已作出不可撤銷的承諾，同意就合計31.7%的 CECONOMY股份(包括來自Convergenta的3.81%)接受此次收購要約。結合京東未來的合作夥伴Convergenta留有的股份，此舉可讓出價方在此次公開收購要約之前確保獲得合計 57.1%股份的支持。
CECONOMY是歐洲消費電子產品零售業的領導者。其主要品牌MediaMarkt及Saturn經營全渠道零售業務，將強大的電商業務與遍佈11個國家的逾1,000間零售門店相結合。根據戰略投資協議，公司與CECONOMY旨在推動CECONOMY的增長，並將繼續保持其獨立運營，加快其向歐洲領先的全渠道消費電子產品平臺轉型。京東擁有高質量的客戶體驗及領先業界的電商物流服務標準，將爲此次合作帶來先進的技術、領先的全渠道零售經驗，以及物流及倉儲能力。這將助力CECONOMY，推動其核心業務的深化發展，並充分發揮其市場地位優勢。作爲戰略規劃的一部分，CECONOMY將在歐洲保持獨立運營，擁有當地獨立技術架構，且無計劃對人員、員工協議及辦公地點進行調整。 CECONOMY的監事會與管理委員會全力支持此次公開收購要約。
