En relación con las comunicaciones publicadas el 6 de febrero de 2025 a través de la página web de la Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores en las que se informaba sobre la presentación por parte de un consorcio de inversores de una oferta no vinculante para adquirir un máximo de acciones representativas del 29,77% del capital social de Talgo, S.A. ("Talgo"), PFR manifiesta su intención de presentar en los próximos días una propuesta, en el marco del proceso de venta organizado por Pegaso Transportation International SCA ("Pegaso") que, con sujeción a distintas condiciones y en caso de que esta fuera en última instancia aceptada por Pegaso, conllevaría la formulación de una oferta pública de adquisición por el 100% de las acciones de Talgo. La presentación de la referida propuesta a Pegaso está sujeta a la autorización de los correspondientes órganos de gobierno de PFR.
Teniendo en cuenta todo lo anterior, no existe certeza de que PFR vaya a formular una oferta pública de adquisición de acciones de Talgo. De tomarse tal decisión en algún momento se comunicará debidamente al mercado de acuerdo con la ley y normativa aplicable.

PFR informs of its intention to submit a proposal in the coming days, within the framework of the sale process organized by Pegaso Transportation International
The Polish Development Fund's Capital Group (Polski Fundusz Rozwoju or "PFR") has confirmed today its interest in Talgo and its intention to submit a proposal in the coming days, within the framework of the sale process organized by Pegaso Transportation International which, subject to different conditions and if ultimately accepted by Pegaso, would entail the launch of a public acquisition offer for 100% of the shares of Talgo. PFR believes that a potential offer for Talgo would represent an attractive European industrial consolidation project to the company and to Spain.
PFR considers Talgo as a very successful industrial company with a strong backlog, with cuttingedge technology and unique products. PFR believes that the company has a complementary portfolio and technology that is a perfect match to that of PESA, the largest rolling stock manufacturer in Poland that is owned by PFR. PESA focuses on locomotives, tram and regional and interregional vehicles, while Talgo is a leading company in the design, manufacture, and maintenance of high-speed trains. The complementary combined portfolio of both companies would create a European champion with a wide range of products and experience in most markets in the EU.
As a potential long-term and stable shareholder, PFR plans to create value in the long term by supporting growth and increasing the scale of the business while maintaining the company's industrial capacity and production in Spain. In addition to this, PFR would also provide a highly valuable solution for Talgo's current industrial capacity needs with the immediate expansion of its production capacity, while maintaining the current workload of its factories in Spain.
PFR would also help Talgo to address a larger market and to expand towards the growing CEE region, with compelling high-speed investments expected. The joint sale of high-speed rolling stock in CEE markets would benefit from Talgo products and PESA's expertise in CEE homologations and sales.
PFR understands the importance for Talgo and Spain to preserve its Spanishness and would consider maintaining the HQs and its industrial capacity in Spain and the company listed in the Spanish stock exchanges. PFR remains open to co-operate with a potential Spanish minority

co-investor and recognizes the relevance of Basque roots of the Company, looking for fruitful cooperation with Basque Country community after the potential transaction.
PFR has duly informed of its intention to the National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) and Talgo.
