Moreover WPEF has committed, under certain conditions, to purchase and exercise all preferential subscription rights unexercised in the second tranche (assuming that Alychlo NV, Carmignac, Midlin N.V. and Bart Versluys have exercised their preferential subscription rights in accordance with their respective commitments).

The subscription price for the first tranche will be equal to the average closing price of Fagron shares on Euronext Brussels during the 30 calendar days immediately prior to the date of the shareholders meeting approving the capital increase, provided that such average does not exceed € 5.50 per share. If WPEF invests in the first tranche, the subscription price for the public capital increase (second tranche) will be equal to 90% of the subscription price for the first tranche.

Should the first tranche of the capital increase not take place, Fagron intends to raise the capital by means of a public capital increase for the full amount of € 220 million, with the subscription price yet to be set.
