Hellman & Friedman, in partnership with EQT, increases offer price per zooplus share to EUR 480.00 in cash

Munich, October 25, 2021 - Hellman & Friedman LLC ("H&F"), with the support of its partner EQT IX Fund ("EQT"), has informed zooplus AG (the "Company") today that an affiliate of Zorro Bidco S.à r.l., a holding company currently controlled by funds advised by H&F ("Zorro Bidco"), has purchased shares in the Company (each a "zooplus Share") at a purchase price of EUR 480.00 in cash per zooplus Share. Such purchase price of EUR 480.00 per zooplus Share exceeds the consideration of EUR 470.00 in cash per zooplus Share contained in the voluntary public takeover offer of Zorro Bidco to the shareholders of the Company in its amended form as published on October 8, 2021 (the "Takeover Offer") by EUR 10.00. As a consequence, the consideration under the Takeover Offer is increased, by operation of law, by the difference amount of EUR 10.00 to EUR 480.00. The Company has also been informed that Pet Bidco GmbH, an investment vehicle of EQT, does not intend to increase or otherwise amend its voluntary public takeover offer, which is thus expected to lapse.

Further, with a view to a successful completion of the Takeover Offer, H&F and EQT have equally notified the Company today that they have formed a partnership to finance the Takeover Offer. EQT notified the Company that it plans, subject to required regulatory approvals and other conditions, to become a jointly controlling partner with equal governance rights in a parent of Zorro Bidco following settlement of the Takeover Offer. In this context, the Management Board and the Supervisory Board of the Company have also reiterated their support of a future delisting of the Company.

The formation of the partnership between H&F and EQT, as well as the increase of the consideration under the Takeover Offer, do not affect the duration of the acceptance period of the Takeover Offer, which will expire unchanged on November 3, 2021, 24:00 hrs. CET. Further, all offer conditions under the Takeover Offer remain equally unaffected, including the minimum acceptance threshold of 50 percent of all zooplus Shares plus one zooplus Share. The irrevocable tender commitments which Zorro Bidco has concluded with certain zooplus shareholders for approximately 17 percent of the share capital of the Company remain binding on the relevant shareholders, who have already tendered the relevant zooplus Shares into the Takeover Offer.
