Artnet Discusses Takeover Offer with Two Investors German art market website Artnet AG (XTRA:ART) said on April 10, 2025 that two investors are currently evaluating a possible takeover offer for the company with a potential consideration of at least EUR 11 per share. Based on Artnet’s number of shares, the potential bid would value the firm at up to EUR 61.81 million (USD 68.5 million). Artnet said that it is in talks with Art Technology Holding Inc. and another potential investor. At this point, however, the outcomes of the discussions are not clear and it is not certain that they will ultimately result in a takeover offer. The statement was made after Artnet shareholder Weng Fine Art AG earlier said that it was approached by Art Technology Holdings USA and other investor who are potentially planning a public takeover for Artnet. The investors sent draft declarations inviting Weng Fine to tender its Artnet shares. New Risk • Apr 08

Art Technology Holdings Inc. Announces Intent to Explore A Bid to Acquire Majority Control of Artnet Last week at the Artnet Annual General Shareholder Meeting, Art Technology Holdings (ATH) formally announced their intent to explore a bid to acquire majority control of Artnet AG (XTRA:ART)- a leader provider of auction pricing data for fine art and a well-respected media voice in the fine art industry. Senior executives from ATH were in Berlin last week to meet with shareholders and explore a tender offer for a price of €11 per share. "Artnet is a very well-respected asset in the world of fine art. The company is the leading destination for critical data about art pricing and industry trends – creating a backbone for the development of the industry as a whole. Unfortunately, the company has not achieved its full potential and requires new leadership, ideas and technology to better serve the buyers and sellers in the global fine art market," said Garry McGuire, Executive Chairman of ATH. "We believe we can create value for shareholders and subscribers by changing management, investing working capital, and bringing Silicon Valley technology innovation to the business." Trevor Ruegg, CEO of ATH further added, "Artnet has significant technical debt and has been starved of investment capital due to its size and public company micro-cap limitations. This is a company that should be taken private and injected with new capital and strategies to better serve their customers and the art market more broadly. ATH seeks to provide infrastructure that will become a catalyst for growth in the fine art market, creating incrementality while not disintermediating participants in the current value chain".

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 42% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings have declined by 42% per year over the past 5 years. High level of non-cash earnings (20% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Latest financial reports are more than 6 months old (reported June 2023 fiscal period end). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (9.3% average weekly change).

New major risk - Earnings quality The company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 20% This is considered a major risk. Non-cash earnings can arise from many different things. However, if a company consistently has a high level of non-cash earnings, it may be a sign that they are recognizing revenue from customers before the full value of the sales are received as cash or they are not depreciating the value of their assets appropriately. These are practices that inflate earnings, while not providing a similar increase to cash flows. Companies in some select industries naturally have a high level of non-cash earnings and it is not a major concern. However, in the worst case scenario it can be an early sign of performance manipulation by management. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk High level of non-cash earnings (20% accrual ratio).
