Disclaimer – Legal Notices

You have entered the website which RAS Beteiligungs GmbH, SGW-Immo-GmbH and LSW GmbH (the "Bidders") have designated for the publication of documents and information in connection with its joint voluntary public takeover offer pursuant to the German Securities Acquisition and Trading Act (Wertpapiererwerbs- und Übernahmegesetz) ("WpÜG") (the "Offer") for all shares of home24 SE.

Shareholders of home24 SE (the "Company") are kindly requested to thoroughly read and acknowledge the following legal notices before being allowed to access the website containing information and documents in connection with the Offer.

On this website, you will find the offer document published on 11 November 2022, which contains the terms and conditions of the Offer in detail, the publication of the Bidders' decisions to make the Offer pursuant to Sections 29 para. 1, 34, 10 paras. 1 and 3 WpÜG dated 5 and 28 October 2022, the publications of announcements pursuant to Section 23 WpÜG, as well as press releases and other information regarding the Offer. The German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht, BaFin) has permitted the publication of the offer document on 11 November 2022. All information contained and documents made available on this website are for information purposes only, and to comply with statutory provisions, in particular those contained in the WpÜG and the German Ordinance on the Contents of the Offer Document, the Consideration in Takeover Offers and Mandatory Offers and the Exemption from the Obligation to Publish and to Make an Offer (WpÜG-Angebotsverordnung). The Offer relates to shares in a European stock corporation established under German law (societas europaea) and is subject to the statutory provisions of the Federal Republic of Germany on the implementation of such an offer pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 SE-VO. The Offer was not subject to review or registration proceedings of any securities regulator outside the Federal Republic of Germany, and has not been approved or recommended by such securities regulator.

Shareholders of the Company whose place of residence, incorporation, or habitual abode is in the United States of America (the "United States") should note that the Offer is made in respect of securities of a company which is a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the shares of which are not registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act. The Offer is made in the United States in reliance on the so-called Tier II exemption. The so-called Tier II exemption permits a bidder to satisfy certain United States substantive and procedural Exchange Act rules governing tender offers by complying with home jurisdiction law or practice and exempts the bidder from compliance with certain other such rules. As a result, the Offer is principally governed by disclosure and other regulations and procedures of the Federal Republic of Germany, which are different from those of the United States. To the extent that the Offer is subject to the securities laws of the United States, such laws only apply to shareholders of the Company whose place of residence, incorporation, or habitual abode is in the United States so that no other person has any claims under such laws.

It may be difficult for shareholders of the Company who have their place of residence, incorporation, or habitual abode outside the Federal Republic of Germany to enforce rights and claims subject to the laws of a country other than their country of residence, incorporation, or habitual abode, in particular since the Company is organized under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany and registered with a commercial register (Handelsregister) maintained in the Federal Republic of Germany, and some or all of its directors and officers may be residents of a country other than the country of residence, incorporation, or habitual abode of the relevant shareholder of the Company. Shareholders of the Company may not be able to sue, in a court in their country of residence, incorporation, or habitual abode, a foreign entity or its directors and officers for violations of the laws of their country of residence, incorporation, or habitual abode. Further, it may be difficult to compel a foreign entity or its affiliates to subject themselves to a judgment of a court in the country of residence, incorporation, or habitual abode of the relevant shareholder of the Company.

The publication, dispatch, distribution or other dissemination of the offer document or other documents related to the Offer outside the Federal Republic of Germany, the Member States of the European Union and the European Economic Area and the United States may be subject to legal restrictions. The offer document and other documents related to the Offer may not be published, dispatched, distributed or otherwise disseminated by third parties in countries in which this would be illegal. The Bidders have not permitted the publication, dispatch, distribution or other dissemination of the offer document or other documents related to the Offer by third parties outside the Federal Republic of Germany, the Member States of the European Union and the European Economic Area and the United States. Therefore, custodian investment service providers may not publish, dispatch, distribute, or otherwise disseminate the offer document or other documents related to the Offer outside the Federal Republic of Germany, the Member States of the European Union and the European Economic Area and the United States unless in compliance with all applicable domestic and foreign statutory provisions.

An offer to acquire shares in the Company is solely made pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Offer. The information contained and documents made available on this website do not constitute an invitation to make an offer to sell or acquire shares in the Company, and do not aim to issue a guarantee or constitute any other legal obligation of the Bidders. The terms and conditions of the Offer may differ from the basic information contained on this website. The terms and conditions of the Offer are exclusively contained in the offer document published on 11 November 2022. The Bidders reserve the right to amend the terms and conditions of the Offer to the extent permitted by law.
