Lithuanian Securities Commission submited information regarding Linas AB


On the outcomes of the LSC's decision 

As earlier announced, on 20 October 2008, the Supreme Administrative Court of
Lithuania rejected the appeal of Lionė Lenčiauskienė and ruled the 20 December
2007 decision of the Vilnius Regional Administrative Court recognising the
relevant decisions of the Lithuanian Securities Commission as justified and
reasonable to remain in effect. Both the First and the Second Instance Courts
acknowledged that the shareholder of Linas AB Lionė Lenčiauskienė was not a
person acting independently, therefore, after on 11 July 2006 the persons
acting in concert exceeded the threshold of 40 percent of the votes in the
general meeting of shareholders of Linas AB as specified in the Law on
Securities, the obligation to submit a mandatory take-over bid arose in respect
of both Lionė Lenčiauskienė and the other persons acting in concert. This
obligation to submit and execute the mandatory take-over bid imposed upon the
persons acting in concern expires only after the obligation in duly discharged.
Note that until the duly discharge of the obligation the persons acting in
concert shall be prevented from exercising the voting rights conferred thereto
by the shares held by them. We also take an opportunity to remind that each
minor shareholder of Linas AB has a right to file a claim with the court
requiring the persons acting in concert to submit a mandatory take-over bid
since this right corresponds to the obligation of the persons acting in
concert, having exceeded the significant statutory threshold of the votes to
submit a mandatory take-over bid. The specific terms and conditions of the
take-over bid, i.e., the price, terms, time limits and persons eligible to
respond to the bid will be determined and made public after the persons subject
to obligation submit the circular of the take-over bid and the circular is
approved by the Securities Commission.
