"On March 21, 2021, the bidder Grosso Tec published a voluntary public partial takeover offer to the shareholders of S&T to acquire up to 5.5 million bearer shares at a price of EUR 15.30 (cum dividend) in cash per S&T share, which could be accepted until April 5, 2022," Schoenherr informed. "The acquisition of the tendered shares by Grosso Tec was settled on April 13, 2022.
