Warning
An investment in shares, such as Cera's cooperative shares, involves risk. Cera’s ‘E’ shares may not be transferred and, upon exiting the cooperative, the maximum amount paid back is the issue price specified in the Articles of Association. If you subscribe, you risk losing some or all of what you invested. Please read the full prospectus beforehand, so that you fully understand the potential risks and benefits associated with the decision to invest in Cera ‘E’ shares. This prospectus contains more detailed information than this document. Please pay particular attention to the risk factors described in the prospectus (see ‘Summary’ (pages 5-11) and section 1, ‘Risk Factors’ (pages 12-18)). Cera is subject to a number of risks, including market risk, liquidity risk due to a reduction or omission of dividends on the participating interests in KBC Ancora and KBC Group NV, liquidity risk due to withdrawals of cooperative shares and concentration risk. The various risks that may emerge at KBC group level translate into market risk and liquidity risk due to a reduction or omission of dividends. A highly significant amount of Cera’s assets are accounted for by shares in KBC Ancora and KBC Group NV, which means that Cera's solvency is largely determined by the value of these participating interests. The vast majority of Cera's (recurring) income consists of dividends from its shareholdings in KBC Ancora and KBC Group NV, meaning that any decrease in this income would have an adverse impact on Cera's liquidity position. Withdrawals can also have a significant impact on Cera’s cash flows. Cera is subject, moreover, to the market risk associated with its assets and liabilities, and is indirectly exposed to the risks applying to KBC Group NV. The prospectus is available on request free of charge from the first day of the subscription period (20 June 2024) at the registered office of Cera (Muntstraat 1, 3000 Leuven). You can also consult it via the website (www.cera.coop) or request a copy by e-mail (info@cera.coop) or by phone (0800 62 340). Approval of the prospectus by the FSMA should not be construed as a recommendation of the securities offered.
