AUSTRIACARD HOLDINGS AG: Regulatory Decision on DNP’s Takeover Offer

AUSTRIACARD HOLDINGS AG has provided an update on Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd.'s voluntary takeover offer. On August 26, 2026, Euronext Athens denied the request for separate tradability of AUSTRIACARD shares involved in the Offer. The rejection was due to the absence of a regulatory framework supporting separate tradability for shares tendered in the takeover offer. Conversely, the Vienna Stock Exchange accepted the request, allowing the tendered shares to be traded there.

This decision follows previous announcements regarding the Offer. AUSTRIACARD continues to address conditions specified in Section 5.3 of the Offer document. The process highlights the complexities surrounding international stock exchange regulations and takeover offers.
