By signing this transfer form, the undersigned (hereinafter referred to as the "Shareholder") transfers all of their shares in Marel hf., a limited liability company registered under Icelandic law with ID number 620483-0369 ("Marel" or the "Company"), to John Bean Technologies Europe B.V. (the "Assignee"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of John Bean Technologies Corporation ("JBT"), at a price of EUR 3.60 per share (based on a reference price of USD 96.25 per JBT share), equivalent to ISK 538 per share (based on the exchange rate ISK/EUR of 149.5).

In exchange for transferring their Marel shares (the "Shares"), shareholders may choose the form of payment, either (i) EUR 3.60 per Share paid in cash (the "All-Cash Offer Consideration"), (ii) 0.0407 newly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock, par value \$0.01 per share, of JBT (each, a "JBT Offer Share") (the "All-Stock Offer Consideration") or (iii) a combination of 0.0265 newly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable JBT Offer Shares and EUR 1.26 in cash (the "Mixed Offer Consideration"). Shareholders can choose to receive shares in JBT listed on either (i) the NYSE or (ii) Nasdaq Iceland, and if no specific selection is made, the Shareholder will receive shares in JBT listed on the NYSE. Elections will be subject to a proration such that the shareholders of Marel, as were immediately prior to the closing of the voluntary takeover offer submitted by the Assignee, will receive an aggregate of approximately EUR 950 million in cash and approximately a 38% interest in the combined company of JBT and Marel. Shareholders who elect the All-Cash Offer Consideration will thus only receive JBT Offer Shares if proration results in such Shareholders receiving a mix of cash and JBT Offer Shares. The redemption price is the same price and payment option ultimately calculated and offered to Marel's shareholders in the voluntary takeover offer submitted by the Assignee on 24 June 2024 and any payments, or prorated payments, as applicable, received by Shareholders in this redemption process shall not in any instance be of higher value than any Shareholder received as a consideration in the takeover offer

TRANSFER DEADLINE:

This transfer form must be received by Arion Banki hf. (the "Settlement Agent") per mail, e-mail, or physical delivery by 5.00 p.m. (Icelandic time) on 30 January 2025. Shareholders who are not registered as existing customers of the Settlement Agent, must verify their identity to the Settlement Agent in accordance with requirements of the applicable anti-money laundering legislation, unless an exemption is available.
