HeiQ Plc
("HeiQ" or "the Company")
Agreed Changes to Concert Party
HeiQ (LSE:HEIQ), a leading company in materials innovation and
hygiene technologies announces recent changes to the composition of
the concert party in respect of the Company.
Under the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Code")
published by the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Panel"), a
concert party arises where persons who, pursuant to an agreement or
understanding (whether formal or informal), co-operate to obtain or
consolidate control (as defined in the Code) of a company or to
frustrate the successful outcome of an offer for a company.
Certain persons will be presumed, as set out in the Definitions
in the Code, to be persons acting in concert with other persons in
the same category unless the contrary is established, including
shareholders in a private company who sell their shares or
interests in consideration for the issue of new shares in a company
to which the Code applies, or who, in connection with an initial
public offering or otherwise, become shareholders in a company to
which the Code applies.
In its Prospectus dated 12 November 2020, HeiQ stated that it
had agreed with the Panel that a concert party (the "2020 Concert
Party") existed in the context of the Company. The 2020 Concert
Party comprised each of Carlo Centonze, Cortegrande AG, Emanuele
Centonze, Annica Centonze, Esther Dale-Kolb, Xaver Hangartner,
Benjamin Bergo, Dr Murray Height, Trevor Height, Robyn Height and
Darren Morcombe.
The Company has now agreed with the Panel that Darren Morecambe
is no longer part of the 2020 Concert Party, such that it now
comprises the following members.
Concert Party Number Percentage
Member of ordinary of issued
shares share capital
currently

Carlo Centonze 9,287,080 6.61
Murray Height 8,018,063 5.71
Cortegrande AG 5,186,237 3.69
Emanuele Centonze 1,288,108 0.92
Annica Centonze 669,216 0.48
Ester Dale-Kolb 902,986 0.64
Xaver Hangartner 493,746 0.35
Benjamin Bergo 284,853 0.20
Trevor Height 167,114 0.12
Robyn Height (Trustees) 165,215 0.12
Total 26,462,618 18.84
The individual members of the 2020 Concert Party (as comprised
pursuant to the table above) can now acquire further shares in the
Company without triggering an obligation under Rule 9 of the Code
to make an offer for the whole of its issued share capital,
provided that such acquisitions do not cause the aggregate interest
of the 2020 Concert Party to reach or exceed 30 per cent. of the
Company's issued share capital.
