Business Wire
Netshoes (Cayman) Limited (NYSE: NETS) announces that it
has entered into an amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger,
dated April 29, 2019, by and among Netshoes, Magazine Luiza S.A.
(“Magalu”) and its subsidiary (as amended from time to time, the
“Merger Agreement”) to increase the Per Share Merger Consideration
(as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement) from US$2.00 to
US$3.00 (the “Amendment”).
As of the date hereof, the Board of Directors of Netshoes (the
“Netshoes Board”) unanimously approved (with the abstention of Mr.
Marcio Kumruian on advice of counsel) the Amendment to the Merger
Agreement and unanimously reaffirms its recommendation (with the
abstention of Mr. Marcio Kumruian on advice of counsel) that
Netshoes’s shareholders vote in favor of the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement. In reaching this
determination, the Netshoes Board took into account:
- the increase in the Per Share Merger
Consideration;
- the certainty of the execution of the
merger with Magalu in view of the scheduled shareholders’ meeting
to approve the Merger Agreement and related transactions on May 30,
2019;
- the approval of the Magalu acquisition
granted by the Brazilian antitrust authority on May 22, 2019;
- Magalu’s commitment to close the
transaction on or before June 12, 2019;
- any potential transaction between
Netshoes and Grupo SBF S.A., if agreed, would involve calling a new
shareholders meeting and review by Brazilian antitrust authorities.
Such antitrust review could potentially follow a long-form
procedure, which would lead to greater delay and uncertainty;
and
- it is in Netshoes shareholders’ best
interest to secure a transaction within a predictable timeframe
given the previously disclosed pressures on Netshoes operating cash
flow and financial condition.
Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC is acting as financial advisor to
Netshoes. Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, Demarest Advogados
and Campbells are acting as legal advisors to Netshoes.
