The BoD has said it intends to recommend shareholders to accept the offer. Major institutional shareholders (including Viking Venture) have irrevocably undertaken to accept the offer. ATP (holding 9.9% of voting rights and share capital) has also confirmed its intention to accept the offer absent any superior competing offer. In total, ~52.9% of shareholders have either entered into irrevocable undertakings or confirmed their intentions to accept the offer. Visma will as soon as possibly and no later than four weeks from today publish a detailed offer document. The offer will be made subject to a number of conditions, as well as require that the total number of tendered shares amounts to more than 90%.</p><h3 class="bm-h3">Offer corresponds to 4.9-4.0x EV/ARR in '25e-'26e</h3><p>In terms of strategic rationale, Visma considers Penneo's B2B SaaS offering highly complementary to its existing offerings in the European market. On our latest estimates, the DKK 16.5/share offer corresponds to 4.9-4.0x EV/ARR in '25e-'26e. Our latest fair value range is DKK 7-13/share.</p></td></tr></table>
