Iris Financial - Convenes Extraordinary General Meeting in connection with the migration to Luxembourg and preparation of the closing of the business combination with Younited S.A.
Iris Financial (the "Company") announces that it has called an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders ("EGM") to be held on 12 December 2024 before the Luxembourg civil law notary in Luxembourg.
The purpose of the EGM is for the shareholders to approve the transfer of the registered office, central administration and effective seat of management of the Company from the Cayman Islands to Luxembourg and matters in preparation for the closing of the business combination with
Younited S.A. (the "Business Combination") (which remains subject to the satisfaction of regulatory and customary closing conditions).
All the proposals on the agenda and additional information regarding the EGM are included in the notice for the EGM (the "Notice"). The Notice is available on the Company's website, accessible via the following link: http://www.irisfinancial.co.
In addition, the Company has published a shareholders' letter on its website in order to update investors on progresses made with respect to the procedure relating to the authorization by the European Central Bank ("ECB") and the French Banking Authority ("ACPR") of the acquisition of Younited. On 26 November 2024, the ACPR deemed the application submitted by the Company to be complete. Separately, the Company expects to receive from the ACPR an exemption from the requirement to be approved as a financial holding company, with the ACPR requiring the Company to be comprised within the same prudential consolidation perimeter as Younited. In addition, there are ongoing discussions between Younited and the ACPR regarding requirements that the ACPR may impose on Younited's banking license to ensure that its funding sources are diversified, and that its liquidity position is satisfactory.
Furthermore, Company and Younited S.A. agreed to amend the business combination agreement, dated 7 October 2024 (the "BCA") to reflect certain technicalities required to finalize the deal. The amendment agreement to the BCA will be made available on the Company's website.
Shareholders will be entitled to attend and vote at the EGM, provided they are registered as a shareholder on today's date (29 November 2024) at 17:30 CET, after the processing of all settlements.
