On 30 July 2013, Vodafone Vierte Verwaltungs AG (formerly Vodafone
Vierte Verwaltungsgesellschaft mbH), Düsseldorf, Germany (the "Bidder"),
published the offer document for its voluntary public takeover offer
(the "Takeover Offer") to the shareholders of Kabel
Deutschland Holding AG, Unterföhring, Germany ("Target Company"),
to acquire all non-par value bearer shares (ISIN DE000KD88880) in the
Target Company (collectively the “KDH Shares“ and individually "KDH
Share"). The acceptance period for the Takeover Offer expires on 11
September 2013, 24:00 hrs (local time at Frankfurt am Main), unless
extended pursuant to the statutory provisions of the WpÜG.
On 20 August 2013, Vodafone Group Plc, Newbury, England (“Vodafone”),
a person acting jointly with the Bidder within the meaning of
section 2 para. 5 WpÜG, has purchased 4,577 KDH Shares outside the
Takeover Offer via the stock exchange against payment of a cash
consideration. The average purchase price per KDH Share amounted to EUR
84.48. The highest purchase price per KDH Share was EUR 84.50. These KDH
Shares correspond to approximately 0.005% of the share capital and the
voting rights of the Target Company. Title to these KDH Shares will
presumably be transferred to Vodafone on 22 August 2013.
