Doodle's Tender Offer for Lexibook: Independent Expert Maintains Fair Character of Offer
Lexibook announced on October 21, 2026 the availability of an addendum to the report by Crowe HAF firm, drawn up at the request of the Financial Markets Authority in the context of the simplified public tender offer initiated by Doodle SAS.
An Addendum Drawn Up in Response to AMF Questions
Dated October 20, 2026, this addendum supplements the report issued on July 27, 2026 by Crowe HAF, which acts as an independent expert in the context of the offer targeting Lexibook shares. The document was prepared in response to questions raised by the Financial Markets Authority during its examination of the transaction. According to the company, the independent expert considers that the additional elements provided are not such as to call into question the conclusions of its initial report. It thus considers that the terms of the offer, which could be followed by a mandatory squeeze-out, are fair from a financial point of view for minority shareholders.
Offer Still Awaiting Regulatory Approval
The proposed offer remains subject to examination by the Financial Markets Authority. The press release specifies that there is no certainty regarding the opening of the simplified public tender offer. The independent expert's report and its addendum are available on the company's website, in the "Investors" section. This publication does not modify the financial conditions of the transaction as presented by the company. Lexibook's share capital, whose headquarters are located in Les Ulis, consists of 7,763,319 shares listed on Euronext Growth in Paris.
