Constantia has acquired approximately 57% of the shares of Aluflexpack from Montana Tech Components AG ("MTC") and Xoris GmbH, and in parallel settled a successful tender offer for the remaining publicly held registered shares (the "Offer"). As announced in the offer prospectus, Constantia initiated the squeeze-out procedure and had Aluflexpack apply for the delisting of the Aluflexpack shares, such delisting to be effective as of the date of the court decision regarding the squeeze-out.
Aluflexpack is a leading European producer of custom flexible packaging, serving food and pharmaceutical sectors. Headquartered in Reinach (Aargau), Switzerland, Aluflexpack employs approximately 1,700 employees in 9 countries.
