The Company has not authorized any offer to the public of Shares in any Member State of the European Economic Area ("EEA"), except in the Federal Republic of Germany ("Germany"). With respect to any Member State of the EEA other than Germany and with respect to the United Kingdom (each a "Relevant State"), no action has been undertaken or will be undertaken to make an offer to the public of Shares requiring publication of a prospectus in any Relevant State. As a result, the Shares may only be offered in Relevant States:

(i) to any legal entity which is a "qualified investor" in the meaning of Article 2 lit. e) of the Prospectus Regulation; or
(ii) in any other circumstances falling within Article 1 para. 4 of the Prospectus Regulation.

For the purpose of this paragraph, the expression "offer of securities to the public" means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the Shares to be offered so as to enable the investor to decide to exercise, purchase or subscribe for the Shares and the expression "Prospectus Regulation" means Regulation (EU) 2017/1129, as amended.

Any such investor will also be deemed to have represented and agreed that any Shares acquired by it in the contemplated offering of Shares have not been acquired on behalf of persons other than such investor. This announcement does neither constitute an offer nor a prospectus within the meaning of the Prospectus Regulation.

In the United Kingdom, this announcement and any other materials in relation to the Shares are only being distributed to, and are only directed at, and any investment or investment activity to which this announcement relates is available only to, and will be engaged in only with, "qualified investors" (as defined in section 86 para. 7 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 ("Financial Promotion")) and who are (i) persons having professional experience in matters relating to investments who fall within the definition of "investment professionals" in Article 19 para. 5 of the Financial Promotion Order 2005 ("Order"); or (ii) high net worth entities falling within Article 49 para. 2 lit. (a) to (d) of the Order (all such persons together being referred to as "relevant persons"). This announcement is directed only at relevant persons. Persons who are not relevant persons should not take any action on the basis of this announcement and should not act or rely on it. Any investment activity to which this announcement relates will only be available to and will only be engaged with, relevant persons.

You can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as "expect", "believe", "anticipate", "estimate", "intend", "will", "could", "may" or "might", or, in each case, the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. These statements are based on the current views, expectations and assumptions of the management of the Company and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. Actual results, performance or events may differ materially from those described in such statements due to, among other things, changes in the general economic and competitive environment (including due to the COVID-19 pandemic), risks associated with capital markets, currency exchange rate fluctuations and competition from other companies, changes in international and national laws and regulations, in particular with respect to tax laws and regulations, affecting the Company and other factors. The Company does not assume any obligations to update any projections or other forward-looking statements.

Neither this announcement nor any copy of it may be taken or transmitted, directly or indirectly, into the United States, Australia, Canada, Japan or South Africa. This announcement does not constitute or form part of any offer or invitation to sell, or any solicitation of any offer to purchase or subscribe nor shall it (or any part of it) or the fact of its distribution, form the basis of, or be relied on in connection with, any contract therefore.

However, there is no assurance that the Stabilisation Manager (or persons acting on behalf of the Stabilisation Manager) will undertake stabilisation action.
