NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO AUSTRALIA, CANADA, HONG KONG, JAPAN, NEW ZEALAND OR SOUTH AFRICA OR IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THIS TENDER OFFER WOULD BE PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
HELSINKI, Sept. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — As previously announced, Georg Fischer Ltd. (“GF” or the “Offeror“) and Uponor Corporation (“Uponor” or the “Company“) have entered into a combination agreement pursuant to which the Offeror has made a voluntary recommended public cash tender offer for all the issued and outstanding shares in Uponor (the “Shares” or, individually, a “Share“) that are not held by Uponor or any of its subsidiaries (the “Tender Offer“) at a price of EUR 28.85 per share for each Share validly tendered in the Tender Offer (the “Offer Price“). The Offeror has on June 22, 2023, published a tender offer document, dated June 22, 2023, and published the first supplement document to the tender offer document on July 25, 2023, concerning the Tender Offer (the tender offer document, as supplemented from time to time, the “Tender Offer Document“). The offer period for the Tender Offer commenced on June 26, 2023, at 9:30 a.m. (Finnish time) and will expire on October 31, 2023, at 4:00 p.m. (Finnish time), unless the offer period is further extended or any extended offer period is discontinued as described in the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer.
As set out in the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer, should the Company distribute a dividend or otherwise distribute funds or any other assets to its shareholders, or if a record date with respect to any of the foregoing occurs prior to the Completion Date (as defined in the Tender Offer Document), the Offer Price payable by the Offeror shall be adjusted accordingly on a euro-for-euro basis, including for the payment of EUR 0.35 per outstanding Share as dividend based on the resolution of the annual general meeting of shareholders of the Company on March 17, 2023, in which case the Offer Price shall be reduced accordingly.
On March 17, 2023, the annual general meeting of shareholders of Uponor approved the proposal of Uponor’s Board of Directors according to which a dividend of EUR 0.69 per share will be paid from the distributable funds of Uponor for the financial year 2022. The dividend will be paid in two instalments. The first instalment of EUR 0.34 per share was paid on March 28, 2023, and the second instalment of EUR 0.35 per share will be paid on September 20, 2023. The second instalment will be paid to each shareholder registered as a shareholder in the shareholder register maintained by Euroclear Finland Ltd on the record date of the dividend payment on September 13, 2023. As a result of the dividend, the Offer Price in the Tender Offer will be adjusted as of September 12, 2023 (i.e., the ex-dividend date for said dividend payment), so that the Offer Price is EUR 28.50 per Share, subject to any further adjustments.
Shareholders of Uponor who have already tendered their Shares in the Tender Offer do not have to re-tender their Shares or take any other action as a result of the adjustment of the Offer Price. All shareholders who have validly tendered their Shares in Uponor will receive the adjusted Offer Price if the Tender Offer is completed.

The Tender Offer is made in the United States in compliance with Section 14(e) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act“) and the applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including Regulation 14E (in each case, subject to any exemptions or relief therefrom, if applicable) and otherwise in accordance with the disclosure and procedural requirements of Finnish law, including with respect to the Tender Offer timetable, settlement procedures, withdrawal, waiver of conditions and timing of payments, which are different from those of the United States. Shareholders in the United States are advised that the Shares are not listed on a U.S. securities exchange and that Uponor is not subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and is not required to, and does not, file any reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC“) thereunder.
The Tender Offer is made to Uponor’s shareholders resident in the United States on the same terms and conditions as those made to all other shareholders of Uponor to whom an offer is made. Any information documents, including this release, are being disseminated to U.S. shareholders on a basis comparable to the method that such documents are provided to Uponor’s other shareholders.
To the extent permissible under applicable law or regulations, including Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, the Offeror and its affiliates or its brokers and its broker’s affiliates (acting as agents for the Offeror or its affiliates, as applicable) may from time to time after the date of this release and during the pendency of the Tender Offer, and other than pursuant to the Tender Offer and combination, directly or indirectly, purchase or arrange to purchase, the Shares or any securities that are convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for such Shares. These purchases may occur either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices.

Each holder of Shares is urged to consult its independent professional adviser immediately regarding the tax consequences of accepting the Tender Offer.
It may be difficult for Uponor’s shareholders to enforce their rights and any claims they may have arising under the U.S. federal securities laws since the Offeror and Uponor are located in non-U.S. jurisdictions and some or all of their respective officers and directors may be residents of non-U.S. jurisdictions. Uponor’s shareholders may not be able to sue the Offeror or Uponor or their respective officers or directors in a non-U.S. court for violations of the U.S. federal securities laws.

The growth of this market is mainly driven by the rising demand for secure and transparent transactions in the BFSI sector, the surging need to prevent data tampering in the healthcare sector, and the growing popularity of cryptocurrency. However, the high costs of blockchain implementation restrain the growth of this market.
Furthermore, SMEs’ focus on leveraging blockchain and the increasing adoption of blockchain among retailers are expected to create significant growth opportunities for the players in this market.

Increasing Need to Prevent Data Tampering Driving the Adoption of Blockchain Technology in the Healthcare Sector
The growing popularity of cryptocurrency and the need to prevent data tampering in the healthcare sector are key factors increasing the adoption of blockchain technology. Cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, have gained traction in recent years, showcasing the potential of decentralized digital currencies that rely on blockchain technology for secure and transparent transactions. Data integrity and security are of paramount importance in the healthcare sector. Medical records, clinical trial data, and patient information must be protected from unauthorized access, tampering, or alteration. With blockchain technology, healthcare organizations can securely store and share patient records, ensuring the security and integrity of sensitive information. The distributed nature of blockchain technology eliminates the reliance on a single centralized authority, reducing the risk of data manipulation or tampering. The players in this market are focused on launching new offerings for healthcare applications. For instance, in October 2020, IBM Watson Health (U.S.) launched a blockchain-powered digital health pass. This digital health initiative was aimed at allowing users to share their verified health status without exposing the data used to generate it.

Epitomee’s Ingestible Capsule, Offers a Safe and Effective Prescription Solution for Adults with BMI of 25-40 looking for Alternative Drug Free Solutions for Their Weight Management Needs alongside diet and exercise.
CAESAREA, Israel, Sept. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Epitomee Medical Ltd. (TASE: EPIT), announced that the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has officially cleared the Epitomee® Capsule, a cutting-edge ingestible medical device designed to support weight management in adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 25–40 kg/m² alongside diet and exercise. This novel, drug-free treatment provides a new option for millions of health-conscious individuals in the U.S.
The Epitomee® Capsule represents an innovative prescription option in weight management solutions, offering a drug-free alternative that differs from injectable treatments. With FDA clearance extending to adults with a BMI starting at 25, Epitomee® Capsule is accessible to a broader range of patients looking for tolerable and easy to use weight management solutions. The Epitomee® device is encased in a standard size, self-administered ingestible capsule. Once the Epitomee® Capsule is swallowed, and reaches the stomach it absorbs water in the stomach and creates a three-dimensional matrix designed to occupy volume in the stomach creating a sensation of fullness, enabling weight loss. The Epitomee® Capsule mechanism of action is purely mechanical and does not involve any chemical activity. The capsule works directly in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
Epitomee® Capsule was cleared by the U.S. FDA following the RESET study: A prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-canter trial. The study enrolled 279 overweight and obese adults with and without prediabetes. All 9 sites enrolled in the study were in the US, located across 9 different states. Eligible subjects were randomized to test or placebo arms. Subjects were to take one capsule of the investigational device or placebo twice daily , alongside diet and exercise, for a period of 24 weeks. The study demonstrated that both co-primary endpoints were successfully met. The RESET study demonstrated significantly better weight loss among the device group compared to the control group (P<0.0001). The co-primary endpoint of treatment responders was also achieved: the rate of Epitomee treatment group subjects whose total body weight was reduced by at least 5% at 24-weeks post randomization was 55.5% (CI; 46.1-64.6), significantly exceeding the threshold of >35% (P<0.0001).
The study demonstrated a favourable safety profile of Epitomee® treatment throughout the study duration. Epitomee® treatment was well tolerated, with fewer patient dropouts in Epitomee® group than the control group. There were no serious adverse device effects (SADEs) in the study. In addition, subjects treated with Epitomee® showed better improvement in quality of life in several items of the IWQOL-Lite-CT questionnaire.
The company also performed an additional study in 3 out of the 9 sites that participated in the RESET study, the ELECT study. In this study subjects from both the device group and the placebo group kept on taking the Epitomee® capsule for an additional 24 week period. The study demonstrated a favourable safety profile of Epitomee® treatment throughout the 48 weeks of the study duration for subjects in the device group.
Shimon Eckhouse PhD co-founder and chairman of the board, commented on the approval: “The FDA clearance of the Epitomee® Capsule marks a significant milestone in the field of weight management. Its innovative approach offers a safe and effective option for patients. The ability to manage weight through a simple, drug free capsule opens up new possibilities for those seeking to improve their health and quality of life.”
Dan Hashimshony PhD, CEO of Epitomee Medical Ltd., commented: “We are proud to have received FDA clearance for our Epitomee® weight management Oral, Drug-Free solution. This achievement is the result of the innovative approach we have taken to tackle the global obesity epidemic. Our capsule offers a safe, effective, and drug-free solution to the many millions of individuals struggling with weight management. As we move forward, we are eager to bring this groundbreaking product to the U.S. market and seek strategic partnerships to fully realize its commercial potential.”
