Aurelia Netherlands TopCo B.V. ("Adevinta"), in which Vend Marketplaces ASA

("Vend" or the "Company") holds a 14% ownership stake, has completed the

divestment of its Spanish operations ("Adevinta Spain") to EQT.

Following the closing of the transaction, Adevinta is expected to resolve a

capital distribution to its shareholders early next week. Vend's share of the

capital distribution amounts to EUR 282 million, equivalent to approximately NOK

3.2 billion.

In line with its capital allocation policy, Vend intends to return the proceeds

from the Adevinta distribution to its shareholders. The Company is currently

assessing the most appropriate structure for the return of capital, with a

primary focus on share buybacks. An update on the specific structure and timing

will be provided in due course.

"Today's announcement underscores the ongoing value creation at Adevinta and

reflects Vend's disciplined approach to capital allocation," says Per Christian

Mørland, CFO of Vend.
