Pandora — M&A Activity 2014

Aug 12, 2014

PANDORA announces that the Company, as of 12 August 2014, has signed an
agreement to acquire 27 concept stores from US jeweller Hannoush, which owns
and operates the stores. PANDORA anticipates commencing to operate the stores
late Q3 to early Q4 2014. The agreement is subject to certain conditions to be
fulfilled.

PANDORA has initiated a process with the purpose of refreshing the network in
the Northeast region of the US, which has been underperforming relative to the
rest of the US. PANDORAs intention is for now to own and operate the acquired
stores, upgrade them all to the new “Evolution” store concept, and focus on
in-store execution and standards.

Allan Leighton, CEO of PANDORA, said: “The US is generally performing well with
its 23rd consecutive quarter of like-for-like sales-out growth. All regions in
the US are achieving good mid-single digit like-for-like sales-out growth or
more, apart from the Northeast. This region is our oldest in the US and we need
to refresh the network. This process has started, and will be accelerated by
the transaction with Hannoush, which is our biggest franchisee in the Northeast
region, representing around 25% of the sales-out in the region”.

The transaction value will total USD 29 million and includes locations,
inventory and other assets. Initial in-store remodelling costs are estimated at
USD 6 million, bringing the total investment to USD 35 million. Following the
transaction, PANDORA intents to re-sell five of the concept stores located
outside the Northeast region to existing franchisees partners.

The concept stores generated retail revenue of around USD 50 million in 2013,
corresponding to around USD 25 million in wholesale revenue, and the
transaction will bring the total number of PANDORA owned and operated stores in
the US up to 27 (assuming re-sale of the five concept stores) out of a total
287 concept stores in the US by end of Q2 2014.
