Press release May 3, 2022

On May 3, 2022 SES-imagotag was informed that SESIM has notified BOE Technology (HK) and BOE Smart Retail of its exercise of the "liquidity option" in accordance with the shareholders' agreement between BOE Technology (HK) and SESIM, an option allowing SESIM to become a direct shareholder of SES-imagotag by withdrawing from the BOE Smart Retail.

In 2017, the management of SES-imagotag, together within the company SESIM, and BOE became coshareholders of the company BOE Smart Retail which then took control of SES-imagotag and which currently holds 60.2% of its share capital. The shareholders' agreement signed in 2017 between SESIM and BOE provided for the implementation of a provision during the 2nd quarter of 2022 by which SESIM would become a direct shareholder of SES-imagotag. It is the exercise of this option that SESIM has notified today to BOE Technology (HK) and BOE Smart Retail.

SESIM states that its intention is to remain a long-term shareholder of SES-imagotag.

Discussions are underway between the parties to implement this option.
