- c) the Target Company or companies in a control or group relationship with it, with registered offices in Portugal or abroad, carry out any acts that are not related to its ordinary management or that constitute a breach of the duties of the board of directors set out in article 181(5) of the PSC;
- d) filling vacancies on the corporate bodies of the Target Company or of companies with which it is in a control or group relationship, whether based in Portugal or abroad, without ensuring that the dismissal without due cause of the appointees can take place by means of compensation in an amount not exceeding their annual remuneration;
- e) dismissal of members of the corporate bodies of the Target Company or of companies with which it is in a control or group relationship, whether based in Portugal or abroad, resulting
in the payment of compensation greater than the respective remuneration due until the expiry of their terms of office;
- f) the increase in the overall remuneration of the members of each of the corporate bodies of the Target Company, or of companies with which it is in a control or group relationship, with registered offices in Portugal or abroad, for the years of 2025 and following, to a value higher than the overall remuneration of the members of the same corporate bodies in the 2024 financial year, except in case of an annual increase of no more than 5%;
- g) material adverse changes, or knowledge of material adverse facts that have not been publicly disclosed to date, in the financial position of the Target Company or of companies in a control or group relationship with it, based in Portugal or abroad, which do not arise from the ordinary course of business, in relation to the situation evidenced in the annual accounts for the 2024 financial year.
- 19. Also for the purposes of article 128 of the PSC, and in compliance with the rules set out therein, it is expressly stated that the decision to launch the Offer was based, namely and without limitation, on the assumption that, with the exception of the information contained in the Target Company's financial statements approved prior to the date of the Preliminary Announcement and the information publicly disclosed by the Target Company also up to the date of this Preliminary Announcement, the Target Company or the companies in a control or group relationship (whether based in Portugal or abroad) are not and will not be a party to any agreement, contract or other instrument pursuant to which - as a consequence of the launch of the Offer, or of the acquisition or proposed acquisition of the Shares by the Offeror, in whole or in part - and with a significant impact on the assets, economic or financial situation of the Target Company, at a consolidated level:
- a) Any loan or debt that is not immediately due becomes due or may be immediately declared as such, or the Target Company or any of such companies in a control or group relationship has its capacity to contract loans or debts reduced or is prevented from doing so;
- b) the creation of any rights or encumbrances (or their effectiveness) over all or part of the businesses or assets of the Target Company or of any of those companies in a control or group relationship is permitted for the benefit of third parties;
- c) any agreement, right or obligation of the Target Company or any of those companies in a control or group relationship ceases or is adversely modified or affected;
- d) the business of the Offeror, the Target Company or any of those companies in a control or group relationship with the Offeror or the Target Company in or with, respectively, any person, company or undertaking ceases or is substantially and adversely modified or affected.
- 20. Also for the purposes of article 128 of the PSC, the Offer is launched, namely and without limitation, on the assumption that there will be no material change in the Portuguese or foreign
financial markets and their financial institutions that is not anticipated according to the scenarios officially disclosed by the authorities of the countries in which the Target Company carries out its activity, with a material negative impact on the Offer, exceeding the risks inherent in the Offer.
- 21. The person who, directly or indirectly, controls the Offeror and the companies that control it, is a natural person, to whom, given its nature, a regime equivalent to that provided for in article 182 of the PSC is not applicable. Therefore, pursuant to article 182(6) of the PSC, and in light of the CMVM's opinion published on 1 June 2018, the Offeror understands that the board of directors of the Target Company is not limited by the passivity rule set out in article 182 of the PSC. With regard to the set of matters foreseen in article 182-A(1) of the PSC, the Offeror's articles of association do not include any restrictions on the transferability of shares or other securities conferring the right to acquire shares or to exercise voting rights and, to the knowledge of the Offeror, there are no shareholders' agreements providing for such restrictions.
- 22. If the Offeror, as a result of the Offer, directly or pursuant to article 20(1) of the PSC, in particular jointly with the parties to the Tripartite Shareholders' Agreement, becomes the holder of 90% (ninety per cent) or a higher percentage of the voting rights corresponding to the share capital of the Target Company, the Offeror will use the squeeze-out mechanism (direito de aquisição potestativa) provided for in article 194 of the PSC, which would then result in the exclusion of the Shares from admission to trading on the regulated market with immediate effects.
- 23. If the conditions referred to in paragraph 22 are not verified, after the end of the Offer and provided that the conditions for such purpose are met, the Offeror will request the convening of a general meeting of the Target Company's shareholders to approve the voluntary delisting of the Target Company's Shares, with the parties to the Tripartite Shareholders' Agreement being obliged to enable such resolution. If such resolution is passed, the Offeror has, in the context of the aforementioned shareholders' agreement, assumed the obligation of making itself available to be appointed by the Target Company as the entity that undertakes to acquire, within three months after CMVM's approval of the voluntary delisting, from the shareholders who did not vote in favor of the delisting, the shares held by them on the date mentioned, under the terms of article 251-F(3) of the PSC. Once the delisting has taken place, and to the extent that the Offeror, directly or under the terms of article 483(2) of the Portuguese Companies Code ("PCC"), becomes the holder of 90% or a higher percentage of the Target Company's share capital, the Offeror will use the squeeze-out mechanism set forth in article 490 of the PCC to acquire the Shares remaining in the ownership of other shareholders.
The Offeror,
