JBF Finance SA in Buchillon, Switzerland has announced a public tender offer for all publicly held shares of Bobst Group SA. JBF is Bobst Group’s largest shareholder and already holds approximately 53 percent of the shares and voting rights in the company.

The offer is not subject to substantial condi- tions. Following completion of the offer, JBF expects to be able to take Bobst Group private through a delisting of its shares from SIX Swiss Exchange to allow the company to focus on long-term and sustainable growth.

The offer prospectus is expected to be published on the same website page, on or around September 5, 2022.
