Titel Heineken N.V. (“Heineken”) and Carlsberg A/S (“Carlsberg”) S&N Board’s Intransigence Jeopardises Shareholder Value
Bericht Amsterdam, 15 November 2007 - Heineken and Carlsberg (the “Consortium”) note the announcement made by Scottish & Newcastle plc (“S&N”) rejecting the Consortium’s proposal to acquire S&N for 750 pence per share in cash (the “Increased Proposal”). The Consortium is very disappointed by the tone and speed of S&N’s response. We believe the characterisation by S&N of our Increased Proposal as “highly conditional” stems from a misunderstanding, in particular with regard to their reference to our “full due diligence” requirements. Our diligence is limited and confirmatory in nature and is focused upon the Western European assets and our key separation assumptions. We want to meet with the Board and clarify our limited requirements for the benefit of S&N shareholders. The Consortium is convinced that the Increased Proposal delivers a full and fair value in cash and is in the best interests of S&N shareholders. Despite the Consortium’s best efforts, S&N has again refused to engage in discussions to convert the Increased Proposal into a firm recommended offer. S&N shareholders are urged to direct the Board of S&N to enter into discussions with the Consortium, to facilitate due diligence access and to enable a firm cash offer to be launched as soon as practicable.
