Slaughter and May is advising Aquis Exchange plc (“Aquis”) on a recommended all-cash offer by SIX Exchange Group AG (“SIX”) for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Aquis, to be effected by means of a court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement.
Under the terms of SIX’s offer, Aquis shareholders will be entitled to receive 727 pence per Aquis share. The offer values Aquis at approximately £225 million on a fully diluted basis and represents a premium of approximately 120% to Aquis’ closing share price prior to the commencement of the offer period. Subject to satisfaction of conditions, the transaction is expected to complete in Q2 of 2025.
Slaughter and May is working closely with Alasdair Haynes (Chief Executive Officer), Richard Fisher (Chief Financial Officer) and Philip Olm (General Counsel and Company Secretary) at Aquis.
