The mandatory totalitarian tender offer referred to in this press release (the "Offer") will be launched by Crane NXT Inspection and Tracking Technologies S.p.A. (the "Offeror" or "Crane NXT ITT") on the ordinary shares of Antares Vision S.p.A. (the "Issuer" or "Antares Vision").

This press release does not constitute, nor is it intended to constitute, an offer to purchase or sell ordinary shares of Antares Vision.

Prior to the commencement of the Acceptance Period, as required under applicable law, the Offeror will publish an Offer Document which shareholders of Antares Vision should carefully review.

The Offer will be launched exclusively in Italy and will be addressed, on equal terms, to all holders of Antares Vision's ordinary shares. The Offer is being made solely in Italy, as Antares Vision's ordinary shares are listed on the STAR segment of Euronext Milan, a regulated market organized and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A., and is therefore subject to the procedural and regulatory requirements provided for under Italian law.

The Offer has not been and will not be made or disseminated in the United States of America (or directed to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. Persons, as defined under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended), Canada, Japan, or Australia, nor in any other country where the making of the Offer would not be permitted without authorization by the relevant authorities or would otherwise constitute a violation of applicable laws or regulations (such countries, including the United States of America, Canada, Japan, and Australia, collectively, the "Other Countries"). The Offer will not be made using, directly or indirectly, any means or instrumentality of interstate or foreign commerce or of any facilities of a national securities exchange of any of the Other Countries (including, without limitation, postal services, fax, telex, e-mail, telephone or Internet) nor through any intermediary or financial institution of the Other Countries, nor in any other manner. No action has been or will be taken to make the Offer possible in any of the Other Countries.

Any copy, whether in whole or in part, of any document issued by the Offeror in connection with the Offer must not be mailed, forwarded, transmitted or otherwise distributed, directly or indirectly, in or into any of the Other Countries. Any person receiving such documents must not distribute, send or dispatch them (whether by post or by any other means or instrumentality of communication or commerce) into or from any of the Other Countries.

Any acceptance of the Offer resulting from solicitation activities carried out in breach of the above restrictions will not be accepted.

This press release, as well as any other document issued by the Offeror in connection with the Offer, does not constitute and shall not form part of any offer to purchase or any invitation or solicitation of an offer to sell financial instruments in the United States of America or in any of the Other Countries. No securities may be offered, sold or purchased in any of the Other Countries unless such offer, sale or purchase is made pursuant to an exemption from, or in compliance with, the relevant local laws and regulations of such jurisdictions.

This press release has been prepared in accordance with Italian law, and the information disclosed herein may differ from that which would have been disclosed had this Communication been prepared in accordance with the laws of any jurisdiction other than Italy.
