This follows the announcement of the envisaged tender offer on March 11, 2025.

These undertakings to tender 2,236,911 Amplitude Surgical shares, representing 4.7% of the company’s capital and voting rights, may be revoked in the event of a competing tender offer being filed by a third party, declared compliant and opened by the Autorité des marchés financiers.

The acquisition of the 85.6% block is expected to be completed by June 2025 and the draft tender offer will be filed with the Autorité des marchés financiers upon receipt of regulatory approvals. The opening of the tender offer will then be subject to the clearance decision of the Autorité des marchés financiers.
