Adevinta hereby announces the terms of the offering of B- shares by Schibsted ASA ("Schibsted") and Blommenholm Industrier AS (controlled by the Tinius Trust) (together, the "Selling Shareholders") (the "Offering"), the publication of Adevinta’s prospectus dated 1 April 2019 (the “Prospectus”) and the commencement of the bookbuilding and application periods for the Offering. Subject to approval of the listing application and completion of the demerger of Schibsted’s classified media business outside the Nordics as further defined in the Prospectus (the “Demerger”), the shares of Adevinta (the "Shares") are expected to trade on the Oslo Stock Exchange on 10 April 2019 under the tickers "ADEA" and "ADEB" for the A-Shares and B-Shares, respectively (subject to any postponement of the completion of the Demerger). The Offer Shares (as defined below) will be offered for sale within an indicative price range of between NOK 70 and NOK 82 per Offer Share. The final price per Offer Share (the "Offer Price"), may, however, be set above or below this indicative price range. The Offering will comprise up to 36,893,081 B-shares ("Sale Shares") to be offered by the Selling Shareholders. In addition, the Joint Global Coordinators (as defined below) may over-allot up to 5,533,962 additional B-Shares (the "Additional Shares", and together with the Sale Shares, the "Offer Shares"), equal to approximately 15% of the number of Sale Shares to be sold in the Offering. In order to facilitate such over-allotments, the Selling Shareholders are expected to (i) lend to the Joint Bookrunners a number of Shares equal to the number of Additional Shares, and (ii) grant the Joint Bookrunners an over-allotment option to purchase a number of Shares equal to the number of Additional Shares to cover any over-allotments made in connection with the Offering. It is expected that the Offering will comprise up to 5.4% of the total number of outstanding Shares of Adevinta at the time of completion of the Demerger (excluding any Additional Shares), and up to 6.2% including any Additional Shares. The Selling Shareholders will receive the proceeds from the Offering.
