Important Information
This announcement is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell securities. The tender offer for the outstanding shares of Datascope’s common stock has not commenced. At the time the offer is commenced, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Getinge AB will file a tender offer statement on Schedule TO with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and Datascope will file a solicitation/ recommendation statement on Schedule 14D-9 with respect to the offer. The tender offer statement (including an offer to purchase, a related letter of transmittal and other offer documents) and the solicitation/ recommendation statement will contain important information that should be read carefully before any decision is made with respect to the tender offer. Those materials will be made available to Datascope’s security holders at no expense to them. In addition, all of those materials (and all other offer documents filed with the SEC) will be available at no charge on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
