GLV Reduces From 90% to 75% the Minimum Acceptance Threshold for Shares to be Tendered Into its Voluntary Takeover Bid for the Shares of Christ Water Technology

Montreal, November 5 (ots/PRNewswire)

GLV Inc. ("GLV"; ticker
symbols GLV.A, GLV.B / TSX) announces an amendment to the conditions
of its voluntary takeover bid (the "Offer"), launched on October 13,
2009, to acquire up to 100% of the shares of Christ Water Technology
AG ("CWT"). Pursuant to this amendment, the minimum acceptance
threshold for shares to be tendered into the Offer has been reduced
from 90% to 75% of CWT's outstanding shares. The amendment to the
required minimum threshold condition has been approved by the
Austrian Takeover Commission.
GLV considers the offered price of (euro)3.35 per CWT share to
be fair and reasonable considering the restructuring and market
challenges faced by CWT. As communicated to the Austrian Takeover
Commission, GLV's management hereby confirms that the offered price
as well as the tender period will in no way be altered. CWT's
shareholders have until November 17, 4:00 p.m. (Vienna time) to
tender their shares into the Offer. After that date, the Offer will
lapse if, notably, the 75% minimum tender threshold condition has not
been met.
CWT's largest shareholder, WAB Privatstiftung, which holds
approximately 27% of the shares of CWT, has already tendered its
shares into the Offer, as of October 15, 2009. Additionally on
October 23, 2009, the Management and Supervisory Boards of CWT issued
a statement recommending that CWT's shareholders tender their shares
into GLV's Offer.
