Sevenum, the Netherlands, 08 April 2025. Redcare Pharmacy N.V. (the “Company”), a leading online pharmacy in Europe, successfully placed senior unsecured convertible bonds in an aggregate principal amount of EUR 300 million and a maturity of 7 years (the “ **Bonds** “)  convertible into new shares in bearer form of the company (the “ **New Shares** ”) or into existing shares of the same class as the New Shares held by the Company, directly or indirectly, on the respective conversion dates as treasury shares (the New Shares and such treasury shares together, the “ **Settlement Shares** “). The Bonds offered are convertible into Settlement Shares equalling approximately 8.4% of the current issued and outstanding share capital of the Company, based on the initial conversion price and subject to adjustments. Concurrently the company successfully repurchased part of its outstanding senior unsecured EUR 225 million 0.00% convertible bonds due 2028 (ISIN DE000A287RE9) (the “ **Outstanding Convertible Bonds** “). The managing board of the Company, with the approval of the Company’s supervisory board, resolved today to approve the offering of the Bonds. Shareholders’ subscription rights to the Bonds have been excluded.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the issuance of the Bonds to repurchase the outstanding convertible bonds due 2028 and for general corporate purposes.

The Bonds will be issued with a denomination of EUR 100,000 each at their principal amount. Unless previously converted, redeemed or repurchased and cancelled, the Bonds will be redeemed on or around 16 April 2032 at their accreted redemption amount (principal amount plus a redemption premium), which has been set at 110% of their principal amount (the “ **Accreted Redemption Amount** “). The Bonds will bear a coupon of 1.75% per annum, payable semi-annually. The initial conversion price has been fixed at EUR 173.74, corresponding to a premium of 42.5% above the reference price of EUR 121.92, determined as the Xetra closing share price on 08 April 2025 minus a 7% discount. In light of the Accreted Redemption Amount, the effective conversion price of the bonds is approx. EUR 191.11 at maturity, implying an effective premium of approx. 56.8% above the reference price of EUR 121.92.

Settlement of the Bonds is expected to take place on or around 16 April 2025. The Bonds are expected to be included in the trading on the Open Market ( *Freiverkehr* ) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange within two weeks after settlement.

The Bonds were placed by way of an accelerated bookbuilding only with institutional investors outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S (Category 1) under the United States Securities Act of 1933 as amended, as well as outside of Australia, Japan, South Africa and any other jurisdiction in which offers or sales of the Bonds would be prohibited by applicable laws. In Canada, the offering was only made in the provinces of Ontario, Québec, British Columbia or Alberta, to institutional investors who are both an accredited investor and a Canadian permitted client under applicable Canadian securities laws.

Under the terms of the offering of the Bonds, the Company agreed, subject to certain customary exceptions, not to sell any securities that are substantially similar to the Bonds or the listed shares of the Company for a lock-up period ending 90 calendar days following the settlement date in respect of the offering of the Bonds.

At the close of the reverse bookbuilding process, the Company has agreed to purchase Outstanding Convertible Bonds representing EUR 157.9 million in aggregate principal amount (representing approximately 70.2% of the outstanding principal amount). The purchase price per Outstanding Convertible Bond in the principal amount of EUR 100,000 each will be EUR 99,200. Following the completion of the repurchase, the Outstanding Convertible Bonds repurchased will be cancelled and EUR 67.1 million in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Bonds will remain in circulation. Settlement of the repurchase is expected to occur on or around 22 April 2025.

MIFID II PROFESSIONALS/ECPs-ONLY/NO PRIIPS KID

Solely for the purposes of the manufacturer’s product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Bonds has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Bonds is eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, “ **MiFID II** “); and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Bonds to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Bonds (a “ **distributor** “) should take into consideration the manufacturer’s target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Bonds (by either adopting or refining the manufacturer’s target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

UK MIFIR PRODUCT GOVERNANCE / TARGET MARKET

Solely for the purposes of the manufacturer’s product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Bonds has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Bonds is only eligible counterparties, as defined in the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook (“ **COBS** “), and professional clients, as defined in Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (“ **UK MiFIR** “); and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Bonds to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Bonds (a “ **distributor** “) should take into consideration the target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the “ **UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules** “) is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Bonds (by either adopting or refining the target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

PROSPECTUS REGULATION / PROHIBITION OF SALES TO RETAIL INVESTORS IN THE EEA AND THE UK / EEA AND UK PRIIPS REGULATIONS

In the case of any securities being offered to you as a financial intermediary as that term is used in Article 5(1) of the Prospectus Regulation, you will also be deemed to have represented and agreed that the securities acquired by you in the offering have not been acquired on behalf of persons in the EEA who are retail investors (as defined above) or persons in other member states (where equivalent legislation exists) for whom you have authority to make decisions on a wholly discretionary basis, nor have the securities been acquired with a view to their offer or resale in the EEA where this would result in a requirement for publication by the Issuer, the Managers or any other manager of a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Regulation, or in which the prior consent of the Managers has been obtained to such offer or resale.

PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS

The Bonds are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (“ **EEA** “). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, “ **MiFID II** “); (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive 2016/97/EU (as amended, the “ **Insurance Distribution Directive** “), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 of the European Parliament and of the Council of June 14, 2017 (as amended, the “ **Prospectus Regulation** “). Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended or superseded, the “ **PRIIPs Regulation** “) for offering or selling the Bonds or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Bonds or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

PROHIBITION OF SALES TO UK RETAIL INVESTORS

The Bonds are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom (“ **UK** “). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2017/565 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (“ **EUWA** “); (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, as amended (the “ **FSMA** “) and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the “ **UK PRIIPs Regulation** “) for offering or selling the Bonds or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Bonds or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
