Summary of the Offers

1 This represents approximately 57.21 per cent. of the aggregate nominal amount of the 2029 Bonds originally issued. Bondholders should note that the Issuer Residual Call Option under the terms and conditions of the 2029 Bonds can be exercised if a further €260,500,000 (which is equivalent to 65.04 per cent. of the current outstanding nominal amount of the 2029 Bonds and 37.21 per cent. of the aggregate nominal amount of the 2029 Bonds originally issued) is purchased in the relevant Offer. If such an amount were to be purchased, the remaining outstanding 2029 Bonds could be redeemed at their nominal amount together with any accrued but unpaid interest up to the redemption date.

2 Each Purchase Price will be determined in accordance with market convention and expressed as a percentage of the nominal amount of the relevant Bonds accepted for purchase pursuant to the relevant Offer, and is intended to reflect a yield to, (i) in the case of the 2027 Bonds, the scheduled maturity date of such Series (being 4 July 2027) and (ii) in the case of the 2029 Bonds, 25 December 2028 (being the first maturity call redemption date of the 2029 Bonds), in each case, on the Settlement Date equal to the relevant Purchase Yield.

Rationale for the Offers

On 1 September 2025, the Company announced that it may issue a new series of euro-denominated fixed rate senior unsecured bonds (the New Bonds), subject to market conditions.

The purpose of the Offers and the potential issuance of the New Bonds is, amongst other things, to proactively manage the Company's debt maturity profile in an efficient manner.

The Offers also provide Bondholders the opportunity to sell their current holdings in the Bonds and to have the priority allocation to subscribe to the issuance of the New Bonds, as more fully described in the Tender Offer Memorandum.

The Company intends to cancel the Bonds purchased by it pursuant to the Offers and such Bonds will therefore not be re-issued or re-sold.

Under the terms and conditions of the 2029 Bonds, in the event that 80 per cent. or more of the originally issued amount of such Series has been repurchased (and cancelled) or redeemed by the Company, including pursuant to the relevant Offer or otherwise, the Company may, at its option, redeem all (but not some only) of the remaining outstanding 2029 Bonds at their nominal amount together with any accrued but unpaid interest up to the redemption date. Bondholders should note that, as a result of prior purchases, the Issuer Residual Call Option under the terms and conditions of the 2029 Bonds can be exercised if a further €260,500,000 (which is equivalent to 65.04 per cent. of the current outstanding nominal amount of the 2029 Bonds and 37.21 per cent. of the aggregate nominal amount of the 2029 Bonds originally issued) is purchased in the relevant Offer. It is the current intention of the Company to exercise such call option for the 2029 Bonds if available following settlement of the relevant Offer, as further described in the Tender Offer Memorandum.

Purchase Prices

In respect of each Series, the Company will pay for any Bonds of the relevant Series validly tendered and accepted by it for purchase pursuant to the relevant Offer, a price (each a Purchase Price, expressed as a percentage and rounded to the third decimal place, with 0.0005 per cent. being rounded upwards) to be determined at or around 2.00 pm (CEST) (the Pricing Time) on the later of 8 September 2025 and (if applicable) the date of pricing of the New Bonds (the Pricing Date) in the manner described in the Tender Offer Memorandum by reference to the sum (such sum, in respect of the relevant Series, the Purchase Yield) of:

  • (a) the relevant Purchase Spread (expressed in basis points) specified in the table above; and
  • (b) the applicable Relevant Benchmark Rate specified in the table above.

Each Purchase Price will be determined in accordance with market convention and expressed as a percentage of the nominal amount of the relevant Bonds accepted for purchase pursuant to the relevant Offer, and is intended to reflect a yield to, (i) in the case of the 2027 Bonds, the scheduled maturity date of such Series (being 4 July 2027) and (ii) in the case of the 2029 Bonds, 25 December 2028 (being the first maturity call redemption date of the 2029 Bonds), in each case, on the Settlement Date equal to the relevant Purchase Yield. Specifically, the Purchase Price applicable to a Series will equal (a) the value of all remaining payments of principal and interest on the relevant Series up to and including 4 July 2027 (in the case of the 2027 Bonds) or 25 December 2028 (in the case of the 2029 Bonds, and assuming all outstanding Bonds of such Series are redeemed at their nominal amount on such date), discounted to the Settlement Date at a discount rate equal to the relevant Purchase Yield, minus (b) Accrued Interest for such Series.

Accrued Interest

The Company will also pay, in relation to each Series, accrued and unpaid interest (Accrued Interest) from (and including) the immediately preceding interest payment date for such Series to (but excluding) the Settlement Date in respect of Bonds of such Series accepted for purchase by the Company pursuant to the relevant Offer.

Any and all acceptance and no pro rata scaling

If the Company decides to accept any validly tendered Bonds for purchase pursuant to either or both Offer(s), it will accept for purchase all Bonds that are validly tendered in full in such Offer(s), with no pro rata scaling, subject to satisfaction (or waiver) of the New Financing Condition.

The Company's right to redeem following the repurchase (and corresponding cancellation) or redemption of 80 per cent. of the originally issued amount of either Series

Under the terms and conditions of each Series, in the event that 80 per cent. or more of the originally issued amount of such Series has been repurchased (and cancelled) or redeemed by the Company, including pursuant to the relevant Offer or otherwise, the Company may, at its option, redeem all (but not some only) of the remaining outstanding Bonds of the relevant Series at their nominal amount together with any accrued but unpaid interest up to the redemption date, subject to the Company having given the holders of the such Series not less than 10 nor more than 60 days' notice and certain other conditions being satisfied.

The aggregate nominal amount outstanding of the 2029 Bonds as of the date of this announcement is €400,500,000 representing approximately 57.21 per cent. of the aggregate nominal amount of the 2029 Bonds originally issued. As such, the Issuer Residual Call Option under the terms and conditions of the 2029 Bonds can be exercised if a further €260,500,000 (which is equivalent to 65.04 per cent. of the current outstanding nominal amount of the 2029 Bonds and 37.21 per cent. of the aggregate nominal amount of the 2029 Bonds originally issued) is purchased in the relevant Offer.

As at the date of this announcement, it is the intention of the Company to exercise this call option in respect of the 2029 Bonds if such threshold is met, and subject to the New Financing Condition and the Company having accepted all validly tendered 2029 Bonds for purchase pursuant to the relevant Offer in full. However, there can be no assurance, in the event such threshold is met, as to whether or when the Company will choose to exercise such call option to redeem the 2029 Bonds. Any future decision by the Company to redeem the outstanding 2029 Bonds will depend on various factors existing at that time. No assurance can be given that the threshold described above will or will not be met pursuant to the relevant Offer.

New Financing Condition

On 1 September 2025, the Company announced that it may issue the New Bonds, subject to market conditions.

Whether the Company will accept for purchase any Bonds validly tendered in either Offer is conditional, without limitation, on the successful completion (in the sole determination of the Company) of the offering of the New Bonds (the New Financing Condition). The Company reserves the right at any time to amend or waive any or all of the conditions of the Offers (including the New Financing Condition) as set out in the Tender Offer Memorandum.

Even if the New Financing Condition is satisfied (or waived), the Company is under no obligation to accept for purchase any Bonds validly tendered pursuant to either Offer. The acceptance by the Company of Bonds validly tendered pursuant to either Offer is at the sole and absolute discretion of the Company and tenders may be rejected by the Company for any reason.

Any investment decision to purchase any New Bonds should be made solely on the basis of the information contained in the prospectus (the Prospectus) to be prepared by the Company in connection with the issue and admission to trading of the New Bonds on the regulated market of the Irish Stock Exchange plc trading as Euronext Dublin (Euronext Dublin), and no reliance is to be placed on any representations other than those contained in the Prospectus. Subject to compliance with all applicable securities laws and regulations, a preliminary version of the Prospectus dated on or about the date of the Tender Offer Memorandum (the Preliminary Prospectus) is available from the Joint Dealer Managers, in their capacity as joint bookrunners of the issue of the New Bonds (the Joint Bookrunners), on request. Bondholders who may wish to subscribe for New Bonds should carefully consider all of the information in the Preliminary Prospectus and (once published) the Prospectus, including (but not limited to) the risk factors therein. The Prospectus, when published, will be available on the website of Euronext Dublin.

For the avoidance of doubt, the ability to purchase any New Bonds is subject to all applicable securities laws and regulations in force in any relevant jurisdiction (including the jurisdiction of the relevant Bondholder and the selling restrictions set out in the Preliminary Prospectus and (once published) the Prospectus). It is the sole responsibility of each Bondholder to satisfy itself that it is eligible to purchase the New Bonds.

The New Bonds are not being, and will not be, offered or sold in the United States. Nothing in this announcement or the Tender Offer Memorandum constitutes an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the New Bonds in the United States or any other jurisdiction. Securities may not be offered, sold or delivered in the United States absent registration under, or an exemption from the registration requirements of, the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act). The New Bonds have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States and may not be offered, sold or delivered, directly or indirectly, within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. Persons (as defined below).

Compliance information for the New Bonds: EU MiFID professionals/ECPs-only/No EU PRIIPS KID – eligible counterparties and professional clients only (all distribution channels). No sales to EEA retail investors; no key information document has been or will be prepared. No UK PRIIPS KID – No sales to UK retail investors; no key information document has been or will be prepared.

No action has been or will be taken in any jurisdiction in relation to the New Bonds to permit a public offering of securities.

Allocation of the New Bonds

When considering allocation of the New Bonds, the Company may give preference to those Bondholders that, prior to such allocation, have given a confirmation to either Joint Dealer Manager that they have validly tendered or intend to tender their Bonds for purchase pursuant to either Offer and, if so, the aggregate nominal amount of the Bonds validly tendered or intended to be tendered by such Bondholder. Therefore, a Bondholder that wishes to subscribe for New Bonds in addition to tendering its existing Bonds for purchase pursuant to either Offer may be eligible to receive, at the sole and absolute discretion of the Company, priority in the allocation of the New Bonds, subject to the issue of the New Bonds and such Bondholder making a separate application for the purchase of such New Bonds to a Joint Dealer Manager (in its capacity as a Joint Bookrunner) in accordance with the standard new issue procedures of such Joint Dealer Manager. Any such preference will, subject to the sole and absolute discretion of the Company, be applicable up to the aggregate nominal amount of Bonds in respect of which such Bondholder has confirmed that it has validly tendered or its intention to tender (as described above). However, the Company is not obliged to allocate any New Bonds to a Bondholder that has confirmed that it has validly tendered or its intention to tender its Bonds for purchase pursuant to the relevant Offer and, if any such New Bonds are allocated, the nominal amount thereof may be less or more than the nominal amount of Bonds tendered by such Bondholder and accepted for purchase by the Company pursuant to the relevant Offer. Any such allocation will also, among other factors, take into account the minimum denomination of the New Bonds (being €100,000).

Any allocation of the New Bonds, while being considered by the Company as set out above, will be made in accordance with customary new issue allocation processes and procedures in the sole and absolute discretion of the Company. In the event that a Bondholder validly tenders Bonds pursuant to either Offer, such Bonds will remain subject to such tender and the conditions of the relevant Offer as set out in the Tender Offer Memorandum irrespective of whether that Bondholder receives all, part or none of any allocation of New Bonds for which it has applied.

Bondholders should note that the allocation and pricing of the New Bonds may take place prior to the Expiration Deadline and each Bondholder intending to subscribe for the New Bonds in addition to tendering their Bonds for purchase pursuant to the relevant Offer therefore should provide, as soon as practicable, and prior to the allocation of the New Bonds, to either Joint Dealer Manager a firm indication to tender their Bonds for purchase pursuant to the relevant Offer and the quantum of Bonds that it intends to tender if it intends to be eligible to receive such priority in the allocation of the New Bonds on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the Tender Offer Memorandum.
