KEY FINANCIALS – PROFORMA 2016

PROFORMA ASSUMPTIONS AND IFRS FIRST TIME ADOPTION

  • GF Group and Glenalta Food Business Combination:
  • Glenalta Food was a SPAC (Special Purpose Acquisition Company) listed on the AIM Italia / Mercato Alternativo del Capitale, organized and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A since Nov. 2015. Glenalta raised 80 M€ to perform a business combination with an Italian food player.
  • After scouting several possible targets, in Nov. 2016 Glenalta approved the Business Combination with GF Group, to be carried out through its merger by incorporation into Glenalta.
  • The merger scheme sets for the buy-out for a consideration of 25 M€ of Equity-like Financial Instruments, nominal value of abt. 113 M€ , from the pool of banks involved in the debt restructuring negotiated by GF Group in 2015. The remaining cash, after reimbursing abt. 6,4 M€ to Glenalta's Shareholders wishing to step out from the venture, remained available to the combined entity to pay the transaction costs, to deleverage the NFP and to finance new investments.
  • As a preliminary condition to the merger the companies agreed on the prior divestment of non-core activities by GF Group, namely : Business Aviation (K-air and K-fleet) and farming of apples and pears in Argentina (Mono Azul). These activities have been spun-off to GF Group former Shareholders' by assigning to them financial debt for the same amount of enterprise value .
  • The merger deed was undersigned on Feb. 6,2017, becoming effective on Feb.13,2017.
  • The transaction between GF Group and Glenalta Food is technically a direct merger and it was not regarded as a reverse acquisition for the purposes of IFRS 3 since FIF Holding S.p.A. the controlling shareholder of GF Group, maintained a stake of abt. 40% in the combined entity resulting the sole significant shareholder of the new company (i.e. significant stake is >5% of shares).
  • The combined entity was renamed in ORSERO S.p.A. Since Feb.13, 2017, ORSERO as the company resulting from the merger, is listed on the AIM.
  • Due to the listing of Orsero, for the first time the annual Financial Statement of Gf Group has been drafted according to IFRS Accounting Principles, instead of Italian GAAP which were applied before. Also the Consolidated Financial Statements of 2015 have been restated to IFRS for comparison purposes. The most material effects due to this change in accounting principles are:
  • New schemes of Income statement and statement of financial position have been implemented
  • Convertible Loan restated as Equity reserve in 2015, net effect of 64,8 M€ on net equity
  • The revaluation of Reefer Vessels' book value due to the lengthening of their service life up to the year 2024: increase of 9,1 M€ on assets and decrease of abt. 4 M€ in yearly depreciations
  • Start-up costs and advertising accounted in intangible fixed assets have been written off : impact is 6,6 M€ less on assets and abt. 3 M€ less in yearly depreciations
  • Employees' Benefit and Severance Pay fair value evaluation, meaning an increase of liabilities of abt. 1,3 M€
  • The consolidated Account Statements displayed and commented in the following pages have been prepared on a proforma basis in order to include all the effects of the above mentioned Glenalta/GF Group Business Combination.

* The threshold defined by the articles of associations of Orsero are 11,00 Euro and 12,00 Euro respectively but it is applied an adjustment factor "K" of 0.90249332 released by Borsa Italiana on 13/02/2017.

  • FIF Holding is the sole significant shareholder. The company gathers the interests of previous GF Group shareholders (Orsero, Ottonnello and Ighina families).
  • SPAC Promoters underwritten 150,000 Special Shares («Spec.») at the listing of Glenalta Food. These special shares are automatically converted into Ordinary Shares («Ord.») with a 1:6 ratio subject to specific triggering events defined by the company bylaws.
  • 1° Tranche 50.000 Spec. converted into 300.000 Ord. at the time of Business Combination : already converted on 22/02/2017;
  • 2° Tranche 50.000 Spec. converted into 300.000 Ord. if share prices are above 9,93 Euro* for at least 15 trading days in a period of 30 trading days in a row: condition already met on 03/03/2017;
  • 3° Tranche 50.000 Spec. converted into 300.000 Ord. if share prices are above 10,83 Euro* for at least 15 trading days in a period of 30 trading days in a row : condition not yet satisfied.
  • 2 separate Lock-Up Agreements are binding for 36 months since the Business Combination:

(i) FIF Holding (except for 1 M shares marketable on MTA listing, where necessary),

(ii) the shareholders of FIF Holding.

  • Another Lock-Up Agreement is binding Glenalta Promoters for 18 months since the Business Combination.
  • Free Float is well above 50% of share capital, the control of Orsero is therefore potentially contestable.

APPENDIX

GF GROUP AND GLENALTA FOOD BUSINESS COMBINATION

The transaction between GF Group Spa and Glenalta Food (already listed) is technically a direct merger. The combined entity was renamed in ORSERO S.p.A.

Since February 2017 ORSERO, as the company resulting from the merger, is listed on the AIM Italia organised and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. .

TRANSACTION STRUCTURE TRANSACTION DESCRIPTION

  • The transaction with Glenalta brings many benefits to the Group:
  • Glenalta, with the merger, supplied the Group with liquidity , that will allow Orsero S.p.a to invest again in the future, for growth purposes
  • Gruppo Orsero is out from any bank agreement (i.e. the restructuring plans), that limited the business over the last few years
  • Gruppo Orsero could be viewed positively by the financial system, and there will be room for new collaborations (e.g. new loans, new insurances, …)
  • All «non core businesses» are out of the Group (Mono Azul, business aviation)
