关于终止收购丹麦瑞声达听力集团的公告
Dear partners and consumers,
尊敬的峰力合作伙伴和峰力用户:
The Oberlandesgericht (OLG) Düsseldorf issued its formal decision concerning the closing of the acquisition of the ReSound group by Sonova (Phonak Group). The OLG Düsseldorf does not deem itself authorized to grant interim relief in merger prohibition cases. This means that Sonova would have to enter into the main appeal proceedings.
关于Sonova(瑞士峰力听力集团控股公司名称)收购瑞声达集团正式的上诉案件,德国杜塞尔多夫仲裁法庭(简称OLG)已经下达了正式裁决书,表示其无权临时解除并购禁止案。这就意味着Sonova控股公司必须进入常规诉讼程序才有可能并购瑞声达听力集团。
The terms of the Share Purchase Agreement with GN Store Nord A/S allow the parties to terminate the transaction if the conditions to closing, including the necessary merger control approvals, have not been obtained by August 15, 2007. Since the main appeal procedure in Germany can take months or even years, Sonova intends to terminate the transaction on August 15, 2007. The acquisition of the ReSound group will therefore not be further pursued.
根据与瑞声达公司控股公司大北集团的股份购进协议,在2007年8月15日之前如果合并审批等并购条件不能达到要求,任何一方都有权终止并购交易。 考虑到在德国进行常规法律诉讼程序需要花数月甚至几年的时间,Sonova控股公司决定在2007年8月15日终止并购交易,不再继续并购瑞声达听力集团。
However, the fact that we will not further pursue the acquisition will not have negative consequences. Instead, we will focus on the strength of our brand the excellent product portfolio and the superior customer service.
但是,不再继续收购的决定对Sonova公司没有任何负面影响。相反,我们将更加专注于品牌的强化、产品结构的优化以及客户服务的提升工作。
Let me assure you that we will continue to serve at our best for all the existing partners and we are open for local acquisitions, if circumstances of such cases lead into a win-win situation.
我们保证将继续尽最大努力为所有的合作伙伴们服务;如果能够带来双赢的成果,我们也会以开放的姿态并购本地企业。
Our goal to become the market leader in the hearing industry and in China remains unchanged. And we will reach this goal – with the help of all of you!
我们要成为全球和中国听力保健行业领导者的目标不变。相信在你们的协助下我们一定会达到这个目标!
