Saint-Ouen (France), 17 June 2016 – The French financial markets authority, AMF, published today in its notice no. 216C1392 the results of the simplified public tender offer for the shares of Gfi Informatique, as set out in full below:

“Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank has informed the Autorité des Marchés Financiers that, during the period of the simplified public tender offer for the shares and convertible warrants to subscribe for and/or acquire new and/or existing shares (“BSAAR”) of the company Gfi Informatique, i.e. from 2 to 15 June 2016 inclusive, Mannai Corporation acquired 9,887,153 Gfi Informatique shares on the market at a price of €8.50 per share.

Furthermore, CACEIS Corporate Trust informed the Autorité des Marchés Financiers that 590,505 Gfi Informatique BSAAR had been tendered to the offer at a unit price of €4.66, i.e. all of the BSAAR covered by the offer.

After the closing of the simplified public tender offer, Mannai Corporation QSC holds:

• individually, 26,547,038 Gfi Informatique shares representing as many voting rights, i.e. 40.23% of the company’s share capital and voting rights;
• together with Boussard & Gavaudan and Apax, 62,806,288 Gfi Informatique shares representing as many voting rights, i.e. 95.19% of the company’s share capital and voting rights1, breaking down as follows:

1. On the basis of a capital consisting of 65,980,266 shares representing as many voting rights, in accordance with the 2nd paragraph of article 223-11 of the General Regulation.
2. It is specified that the FCP (mutual fund) BG Long Term Value (of which the management company is Boussard & Gavaudan Gestion SAS), which was not part of the previous grouping between BG and Apax, was not part of the grouping between Mannai, Apax and BG, and that BG Select Investments (Ireland) Limited and Boussard & Gavaudan Holding Limited declare that they are not acting in concert with BG Long Term Value insofar as this UCITS, due to its specific investment and management rules, is not intended to be party to the Shareholders’ Agreement or to the Apax BG Agreement or to be part of the aforementioned grouping. No contractual provision between BG, Apax and Mannai therefore applies to this entity for the management of its current and future holding in Gfi Informatique. The BG Long Term Value fund now no longer holds any Gfi Informatique shares.
