The key factor lies in the voting rights structure. Even before the public offer, the acquiring group held around 83.33 per cent of Swiss Estates\u2019 share capital and 96.38 per cent of its voting rights. Following the expiry of the grace period, the stake has now risen to 89.52 per cent of the share capital and 99.43 per cent of the voting rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
A total of 807,092 registered shares, around 1.5 million participation certificates and all 1.75 million voting shares covered by the offer were tendered. Compared with the final interim results published on 22 September 2026, the percentages have not changed. The offer therefore continues to be deemed to have been successful, provided no prohibition or ban is imposed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/strong>The room for manoeuvre for the remaining minority investors is extremely limited. Those who have not tendered their shares face a group of shareholders that exercises virtually complete control over the company in terms of voting rights. In the case of a listed property company, this affects not only general meetings but also the company\u2019s future direction on the capital market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>The transaction is scheduled to be completed on 20 October 2026, subject to any postponement. In July 2026, the Takeover Board had ruled that the public takeover bid complied with the regulations. This was followed at the end of August by a further ruling on the board of directors\u2019 report and the published fairness opinion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>Swiss Estates is based in Pf\u00e4ffikon in the canton of Schwyz. The company focuses on property activities in Switzerland. For the market, the announcement is therefore primarily a governance issue, as control over a listed property company is now effectively concentrated in the hands of a single party.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\r\n
