Firm commitments to participate in the capital increase Convening of a new Extraordinary General Meeting

La Hulpe, 26 September 2023, 7.30 a.m. (Belgian time)

Atenor SA announces that it has raised firm commitments from the reference shareholders and new investors of up to 133.5 million euros to participate in the company's capital increase.

Given the current economic environment, its turbulences and the resulting increase in the cost of financing, the Board of Directors felt that this capital increase should be maximised in the interest of the company and all its shareholders. This approach will not only enable Atenor to strengthen its balance sheet structure in order to consolidate its current position but also stimulate future growth. It will also provide more flexibility to carry out its property sales and development transactions in a still cautious property market.

Against this backdrop and after analysing feedback received from investors, the Board of Directors has decided, still in the interest of the company and all its shareholders (who will benefit a statutory preferential right1 ), to propose to the General Meeting that the issue price shall be set at 5.00 euros in order to maximise the amount of firm commitments and ensure a successful capital increase.

As a reminder, the company had asked for firm commitments as part of a fundraising announced on 4 August 20232 for which the previous firm commitments amounted to 62 million euros. This transaction was approved during the Extraordinary General Meeting that was held on 11 September 2023, taking into account a minimum issue price of 10,2344 euros per share equivalent to the accountable par. Since the (new) aforementioned issue price is lower than the actual accountable par, a new Extraordinary General Meeting will therefore be convened to be held on 6 November 2023 to approve a capital increase of 160.8 million euros3 at a price of 5.00 euros (from which 133.5 million euros have already been firmly committed4 by the reference shareholders and new investors).

As announced in June 2023, the Board of Directors proposes to carry out a capital increase in cash with statutory preferential rights for existing shareholders ("statutory rights issue"), in order to allow all Atenor shareholders to participate in the fundraising. 5

Atenor SA thanks the reference shareholders who have given firm commitments for their renewed confidence and welcomes the arrival of new investors.

The firm commitments assume that the capital increase will be completed by 31 December 2023 at the latest. Atenor will not be seeking any further firm commitments.

Further information about the proposed fundraising, the detailed agenda for, and reports submitted to, the Extraordinary General Meeting of shareholders will be available on the company's website (https://www.atenor.eu/en/investors/general-meetings-of-shareholders/).

1 As a reminder, this capital increase should be followed by an additional capital increase (technically separate, approved by the Board of Directors within the framework of the authorised capital) in case where the participation rate would not allow to honour the firm commitments from the new investors in the framework of the offer with rights (see press release of 4 August 2023).

2 See press release dated 4 August 2023.

3 On the basis of a ratio of 13 new shares for 3 existing shares.

4 The obligation to subscribe for the shares is subject to approval of the rights offer by the company's Extraordinary General Meeting and approval of the prospectus relating to the transaction by the FSMA.

5 See footnote no.1.
