Staples Purchased 12.3% of CE Ordinary Shares

What we suspected two days ago is already confirmed today by Staples in this news release. A percentage of 12.3% of ordinary shares was purchased by Staples, including authorization from the sellers to vote against the Lyreco deal on June 18th. This is important, because only shareholders on record on May 29th, are allowed to vote on the shareholders meeting. Just buying shares in the open market therefore does not automatically give voting rights to Staples. It is very likely more will follow. (end of post)
