Kuoni Travel Holding Ltd.: Update on recommended cash offer for Et-china
Kuoni Reisen Holding AG / Key word(s): Letter of Intent 21.09.2010 18:15 Release of an ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 72 KR --------------------------------------------------------------------------- In connection with Kuoni Travel Holding Ltd.'s recommended cash offer for Et-china.com International Holdings Limited (Et-china), the parties have now agreed to extend the Long Stop Date for the corresponding Scheme of Arrangement until 31 December 2010. The Royal Court of Jersey has today made an order allowing this extension. Further to Kuoni's announcement on 21 July, Kuoni has informed Et-china that, due to certain legal and regulatory issues relating to Et-china's subsidiary GZL (Guangzhou Travel Service), Kuoni is currently not able to conclude that certain conditions to the Scheme of Arrangement have been satisfied or can be waived. Et-china has informed Kuoni that it is in the process of trying to resolve these legal and regulatory issues to Kuoni's satisfaction, including where appropriate by requesting confirmations from one or more third parties in relation to these issues. Et-china will therefore not request that the Court Hearing regarding the Scheme will be convened until further notice. The effect of extending the Long Stop Date is that the deadline for the Scheme of Arrangement to become effective, which would otherwise have been the end of September, has now been extended to 31 December 2010. A further announcement will be made in due course. LAURENCE BIENZ Head of Investor Relations Kuoni Travel Holding Ltd.
