CLIQ Group Considers Stock Exchange Delisting

CLIQ Announces Consideration of Delisting

• Delisting under consideration
• Potential public tender and share repurchase offers
• Annual General Meeting (AGM) postponed until further notice

DUSSELDORF, 10 March 2025 – CLIQ Group announced on March 6, 2025, through an ad hoc announcement, that it is weighing a delisting from all stock exchanges where its shares are currently traded. As part of this process, CLIQ has reached an agreement with Dylan Media B.V., which is assessing a potential acquisition of a significant number of CLIQ’s outstanding shares.

Delisting

The exploration of a delisting is primarily motivated by weak investor demand for CLIQ shares, along with the reporting requirements and costs tied to being a publicly listed company. A delisting could also improve operational flexibility and decision-making, removing short-term market pressures. Capital markets have not been a practical financing option for CLIQ for some time, and no change is expected in the near future. A possible public partial acquisition offer by Dylan Media, as well as a potential public partial share repurchase offer by CLIQ, would provide CLIQ shareholders with the option to sell their shares if they prefer not to remain shareholders in a private company.

Potential public partial acquisition offer by Dylan Media

Dylan Media is contemplating a public partial acquisition offer for CLIQ shareholders who wish to sell their shares before CLIQ transitions to a non-listed company. Dylan Media is a privately held Dutch investment firm backed by international investors, experienced media executives, and a group of current CLIQ shareholders, including members of the Management and Supervisory Boards. CLIQ is aware that Dylan Media is still in negotiations with equity and debt providers to secure additional funding and has not yet finalized the scope or conditions of its potential partial acquisition offer.

Potential public partial share repurchase offer by CLIQ

Depending on the scope and conditions of Dylan Media’s potential offer, and CLIQ’s subsequent shareholder structure, the Group may also propose a public partial share repurchase offer to its General Meeting. If approved, this would involve acquiring treasury shares, which would then be cancelled after the completion of CLIQ’s partial public share repurchase offer, thus reducing CLIQ’s share capital accordingly. Notably, should CLIQ launch a share repurchase offer, Dylan Media has agreed not to participate with the CLIQ shares it possesses.

Annual General Meeting & Financial reporting

Due to these ongoing developments, CLIQ’s Annual General Meeting, initially scheduled for April 11, 2025, has been postponed to a later date. CLIQ intends to publish its financial results for the first quarter of 2025 as planned on May 8, 2025, until further notice.

Management Board statement

“Both CLIQ’s Management and Supervisory Boards express their support for Dylan Media’s plans. Furthermore, the Boards also support the delisting, contingent on Dylan Media holding a significant shareholding in CLIQ,” said Ben Bos, member of the Management Board. “CLIQ remains committed to keeping all stakeholders informed throughout this process.“
