Amsterdam, 25 februari 2021 – Fastned B.V. ("Fastned" of de "Vennootschap"), het Europese snellaadnetwerk voor elektrische voertuigen ("EVs"), kondigt de lancering aan van een accelerated bookbuilding offering (de "Aanbieding") van nieuwe certificaten die gewone aandelen in het kapitaal van de Vennootschap vertegenwoordigen (de "Nieuwe Effecten").

Transactie rationale

Fastned exploiteert een pan-Europees netwerk van 133 stations, en bouwt voort op haar first-mover-voordeel en een leidende marktpositie in Nederland, een land dat voorop loopt op het gebied van elektrische mobiliteit. Fastned heeft aanzienlijk toekomstige investeringsmogelijkheden en is van plan de netto-opbrengst van de aanbieding te gebruiken om een deel van haar capex-plannen te financieren waaronder het uitbreiden van de capaciteit van bestaande stations, het bouwen van haar gecommitteerde pijplijn van 164 laadstations, het versnellen van de ontwikkeling van haar potentiële pijplijn en het financieren van capex van belangrijke aanstaande overheidsgerelateerde aanbestedingen, zoals in Frankrijk en Duitsland, maar ook voor algemene ondernemingsdoeleinden. De gecommitteerde pijplijn is de pijplijn van laadstations waarvoor een huurovereenkomst is afgesloten en/of een vergunning is verleend of zal worden verleend door een autoriteit, bijvoorbeeld als gevolg van een gunning van een tender. De potentiële pijplijn is de pijplijn van laadstations waar Fastned zich op richt en waarvoor nog geen huurovereenkomst en/of vergunning is verleend, dan wel waarvoor nog geen tender is gewonnen. Samen zullen deze investeringen Fastned in staat stellen om in de komende 18-24 maanden haar netwerk uit te breiden en te versterken in haar bestaande geografische markten en daarbuiten.

De Aanbieding

De Aanbieding zal worden uitgevoerd door middel van een private plaatsing van de Nieuwe Effecten met uitsluiting van voorkeursrechten. De Nieuwe Effecten zullen worden uitgegeven onder de bestaande goedkeuring van aandeelhouders van de Vennootschap, verleend door de algemene vergadering van aandeelhouders op 4 juni 2020 en zullen uitsluitend worden aangeboden aan gekwalificeerde beleggers in de Europese Economische Ruimte en het Verenigd Koninkrijk, aan gekwalificeerde institutionele beleggers in de Verenigde Staten op grond van Rule 144A van de US Securities Act van 1933, zoals gewijzigd (de "Securities Act") en buiten de Verenigde Staten op grond van Regulation S onder de Securities Act, en aan bepaalde gekwalificeerde beleggers in andere rechtsgebieden.

De afwikkeling van de transactie en toelating tot de notering en verhandeling van de Nieuwe Effecten op Euronext Amsterdam zullen naar verwachting plaatsvinden op 2 maart 2021. De Nieuwe Effecten zullen in alle opzichten pari passu rangschikken met de uitstaande certificaten van gewone aandelen van de Vennootschap.

De Vennootschap en haar oprichter-aandeelhouders (via Wilhelmina-Dok B.V. en Carraig Aonair Holding B.V.) hebben zich gecommitteerd aan een lock-up periode, die 90 kalenderdagen na de voltooiing van de Aanbieding afloopt, behoudens bepaalde gebruikelijke uitzonderingen, inclusief een ontheffing van de Sole Global Coordinator.

Er zal geen prospectus worden gepubliceerd in verband met de Aanbieding.

Bookbuilding

Joh. Berenberg, Gossler & Co. KG treedt op als Sole Global Coordinator en Sole Bookrunner in verband met de Aanbieding.

De Sole Global Coordinator zal de accelerated bookbuilding procedure met onmiddellijke ingang starten en de boeken zullen met onmiddellijke ingang worden geopend na de publicatie van deze aankondiging. De boeken kunnen op korte termijn sluiten.

Het definitieve aantal Nieuwe Effecten, de uitgifteprijs en de uiteindelijke totale opbrengst zullen worden gebaseerd op de vraag van investeerders en zullen worden bepaald na de accelerated bookbuild en aangekondigd door Fastned na het sluiten van de bookbuilding in een volgend persbericht, dat naar verwachting zal worden gepubliceerd vóór de opening van de markt op Euronext Amsterdam 26 februari 2021, onder voorbehoud van versnelling.

DIT IS EEN VERTALING VAN HET OORSPRONKELIJK IN DE ENGELSE TAAL OPGESTELDE PERSBERICHT, WELKE UITSLUITEND VOOR INFORMATIEVE DOELEINDEN VERSTREKT WORDT. IN GEVAL VAN VERSCHILLEN TUSSEN DE VERSIES PREVALEERT DE ENGELSE TEKST. AAN DE VERTALING KUNNEN GEEN RECHTEN WORDEN ONTLEEND.

Disclaimers

This announcement is not for publication or distribution, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States of America. This announcement is not an offer of securities for sale into the United States. The Securities (as defined below) have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or unless pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any other applicable securities law. No public offering of securities is being made in the United States.

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements of Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II") and local implementing measures, and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the product governance requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the New Securities have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that such New Securities are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II (the "Target Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the New Securities may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the New Securities offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the New Securities is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Offering. Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, the Global Coordinator and Sole Bookrunner will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the New Securities.

Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the New Securities and determining appropriate distribution channels.

The Sole Global Coordinator is acting exclusively for the Company and no-one else in connection with the Offering. The Sole Global Coordinator will not regard any other person as its clients in relation to the Offering and will not be responsible to anyone other than the Company for providing the protections afforded to its clients, nor for providing advice in
