Not for release, publication or distribution, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly in, into or from the United States of America, Australia, Canada or Japan

Accordingly, considering:

(i) the no. 7,835,865 Shares tendered to the Offer during the Acceptance Period up to the date hereof (representing 10.82% of the Fully Diluted Share Capital of the Issuer);
(ii) the no. 23,467,567 Shares directly held by the Offeror prior to the commencement of the Acceptance Period (representing 32.39% of the Fully Diluted Share Capital of the Issuer);
(iii) the aggregate no. 18,865,894 Shares held by the Persons Acting in Concert prior to the commencement of the Acceptance Period, constituting the Second Tranche of the Regolo Sale (representing 26.04% of the Fully Diluted Share Capital of the Issuer),

following completion of the Offer, save for any additional acceptance of the Offer received before the end of the Acceptance Period, the Offeror, jointly with the Persons Acting in Concert, will directly hold an aggregate shareholding equal to: (i) 69.25% of the Fully Diluted Share Capital of the Issuer and (ii) following completion of the acquisition by the Offeror of the Second Tranche of the Regolo Sale, 69.28% of the voting rights exercisable at the Shareholders' Meetings of Antares Vision (net of no. 33,916 Treasury Shares).

It is also recalled that the Acceptance Period of the Offer will end at 5:30 p.m. (CET) on 6 March 2026. In this regard, it should be noted that, as a result of the exceeding of the aforementioned threshold of two-thirds of the Fully Diluted Share Capital of the Issuer, pursuant to and for the purposes of Article 40-bis, paragraph 1, letter b), of the Issuers' Regulation, the Acceptance Period of the Offer will be reopened for the trading sessions of 16 March, 17 March, 18 March, 19 March and 20 March 2026, save for the event that, at the end of the Acceptance Period, the conditions set out in Article 40-bis, paragraph 3, letter b), of the Issuers' Regulation for the non-application of the Reopening of the Terms are satisfied.

In light of the foregoing, and considering that the threshold of 67% of the voting rights exercisable at the Shareholders' Meetings of Antares Vision (net of no. 33,916 Treasury Shares) has been exceeded and taking into account the Reopening of the Terms, pursuant to the Regolo Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Regolo Shareholding, the Forestelli Shareholding and the Additional Forestelli Shareholding, which jointly constitute the Second Tranche of the Regolo Sale (equal to an aggregate of no. 18,865,894 Shares, representing 26.04% of the Fully Diluted Share Capital of the Issuer), will be acquired by the Offeror at a unit price equal to the Offer Price (i.e., Euro 5.00 per Shares and therefore for a total consideration of Euro 94,329,470.00) on the Settlement Date Following the Reopening of the Terms (i.e., 27 March 2026), with the consequent loss of the increase voting rights attached to the Regolo Shareholding.
