TCI purports that it represents funds holding together more than five percent of the share capital of Deutsche Börse. TCI requests on behalf of these funds that the following agenda shall be submitted to the EGM for decision: to remove the Supervisory Board members of Deutsche Börse appointed by the shareholders meeting and to elect new Supervisory Board members. TCI has not nominated any candidates.
TCI alleges that the price of 530 pence per share proposed by Deutsche Börse for the acquisition of the London Stock Exchange plc (London Stock Exchange) exceeds the potential benefits of this acquisition. TCI wishes that the shareholders meeting instead discusses a purchase by Deutsche Börse of its own shares.
Deutsche Börse is convinced that its contemplated cash acquisition of the London Stock Exchange is in the best interests of its shareholders and the company.
