Law firm Davis Polk is playing a key role in the proposed takeover bid for Telefónica Deutschland Holding AG by its parent company, Telefónica. The legal advisory firm is providing counsel on U.S. securities law matters for Telefónica and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Telefónica Local Services.
The takeover bid, structured as a voluntary tender offer in the form of a partial offer, aims to acquire the shares of Telefónica Deutschland not currently owned, directly or indirectly, by Telefónica. The strategic move is aligned with Telefónica’s broader business strategy, emphasizing a focus on core geographies, including Spain, Brazil, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
The proposed offer price stands at EUR 2.35 per Telefónica Deutschland share, representing a substantial premium of approximately 37.6% over the closing share price on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange the day before the announcement. Additionally, it presents a premium of 36.3% over the volume-weighted average share price during the three-month period leading up to the announcement.
