Hargreaves Lansdown plc Ordinary 0.4p

Type:
Scheme of Arrangement
Shareholder action required:
Yes
Status:
Client deadline
Details (last updated 22 Oct 2024)

Harp Bidco Limited has made an offer to acquire Hargreaves Lansdown plc for £11.40 per share, comprising:

 

(a) £11.10 in cash at completion of the proposed acquisition; and
(b) For shareholders as of the end of 2 October, the right to receive the full-year dividend of 30p per share, expected to be paid on 1 November 2024.

 

If the takeover completes and you take no action (and you do not sell your shares in the meantime), you will automatically receive the £11.10 per share cash payment shortly following completion, expected in the first quarter of 2025.

 

Alternative unlisted share offer

 

As an alternative to the £11.10 cash consideration, you can elect for unlisted rollover loan notes in respect of some or all of your shares which, subject to implementation of certain rollover steps, will ultimately be exchanged for unlisted rollover shares. This alternative is referred to as the ‘Alternative Offer’. Details of the Alternative Offer, including the rights attaching to the unlisted rollover shares, are set out in the Scheme Document. An election for the Alternative Offer will not impact shareholders’ eligibility in relation to the full-year dividend.

 

The independent Hargreaves Lansdown plc directors have recommended the cash offer of £11.40 per share but have not made any recommendation in relation to the Alternative Offer.

 

If you are interested in electing for the Alternative Offer, it is important that any decision is based on independent financial, tax and legal advice and full consideration of the Scheme Document (together with the related documents referred to therein). This includes the summary of the unlisted rollover securities set out in Part IV of the Scheme Document and the estimate of value of the unlisted rollover securities provided by Goldman Sachs, in its capacity as financial adviser to Harp Bidco Limited, and related assumptions, qualifications and caveats set out in Part X of the Scheme Document. You are strongly encouraged to pay attention to the disadvantages and advantages of the Alternative Offer set out in paragraph 14 of Part I of the Scheme Document and the risk factors and other investment considerations set out in paragraph 4 of Part II of the Scheme Document.

 

Shareholders should note that, due to certain restrictions on elections set out in the Scheme Document, there can be no certainty as to the number of unlisted rollover securities that they would receive. Further details on these restrictions are set out in the Scheme Document and should be considered in full before any election is made.

 

The rollover shares will not be a qualifying ISA investment. Any such shares received in an ISA would therefore need to be removed within 30 days.

 

How to elect for the Alternative unlisted share offer

 

If you would like to receive the cash consideration of £11.10 per share, you do not need to take any action and do not need to follow the steps below.

 

If you would like to elect to receive the unlisted share alternative instead of the cash, please follow the steps below:

2. Give an election below confirming the number of HL shares that you wish to swap for the unlisted shares. In the ‘further details’ box below please supply your passport number, city of birth and occupation which is needed to complete the KYC data required.

 That you have read and understood full terms, conditions and risk factors associated with the unlisted share offer set out in the Scheme Document and that any decision is based on that information and not the very high-level summary provided here.

This is not personal advice and is a very high-level summary only. You are strongly recommended to seek your own independent financial, tax and legal advice before deciding whether to elect for the Alternative Offer.

The London Stock Exchange does not disclose whether a trade is a buy or a sell so this data is estimated based on the trade price received and the LSE-quoted mid-price at the point the trade is placed. It should only be considered an indication and not a recommendation.

Trades priced above the mid-price at the time the trade is placed are labelled as a buy; those priced below the mid-price are sells; and those priced close to the mid-price or declared late are labelled 'N/A'.
