"We are very pleased that the majority of our shareholders believe in the compelling strategic rationale of our proposed merger. The merger will unlock significant value generation potential and accelerate our growth strategy. Shareholders who have not tendered their shares so far will have the opportunity to do so in the additional acceptance period, which will start on 30 July and last until 12 August. We are confident that we will see significantly higher acceptance levels at the end of the two additional weeks."
