Zug, Switzerland: 05.07.2022. On 05.07.2022, 09:35 (CEST), SunMirror AG
published a German-language and English-language Ad-Hoc Publication on the
unsuccessful termination of the takeover process of Latitude 66 Cobalt
Limited (Lat66), which was sent via the EQS publication platform to both
electronic distribution systems and European media.
The date of the Ad-hoc-Publication is 05.07.2022 and not, as outlined in
the Ad-hoc-Publication-04.07.2022. In addition, the Ad-Hoc Publication is
hereby corrected and replaced by the following:
SunMirror AG („SunMirror“; Xetra; Vienna: ROR1; ISIN CH0396131929)
announces that the previously pursued acquisition of Latitude 66 Cobalt
Limited („Lat66“) will end on July 12, 2022.
To date, SunMirror has been unable to fulfil the condition of raising EUR
70 million in additional capital in the agreed and repeatedly extended
timeframe as part of the takeover of Lat66. The investor who bindingly
subscribed to the EUR 70 million authorized capital (see press release of
30.11.2021), only paid in a partial amount. Thus, the capital increase
from the authorized capital had to be omitted to the extent to which the
performance of the capital increase amount was omitted.
Furthermore, the Independent Directors of Lat66 have withdrawn their
recommendation that Lat66 Shareholders accept SunMirror (Luxembourg)
S.A.’s offer to acquire all of the shares in Lat66 (the “Offer”). The
Independent Directors now recommend that Lat66 Shareholders reject the
Offer and withdraw their acceptance.
Accordingly, the Lat66 Directors who have accepted the Offer have
withdrawn their acceptance of the Offer in respect of Lat66 Shares they
own or control. To date the acceptance rate is at 62.19%, thus, SunMirror
now believes that it is more likely than not that the minimum acceptance
condition (90% acceptance, by number, of all Lat66 shares) may not be
fulfilled at the end of the offer period, being July 12, 2022 (“Offer
Period”). If this condition is not fulfilled at the end of the Offer
Period, all acceptances received would be void.
The – non-recoverable – costs for the acquisition of Lat66 total EUR 10.0
million, of which EUR 4.0 million have already been recognised and fully
written off in the half-year financial statements as at 31.12.2021.
About SunMirror AG

In doing so, SunMirror differentiates itself from other market
participants through a mine-to-market sustainability approach across the

mining sector.
