• Tender offer successful (subject to regulatory approvals): At the end of the acceptance period, CVC holds 20.43% of total share capital and voting rights in CompuGroup Medical

Koblenz, Frankfurt – At the end of the initial acceptance period of the voluntary public tender offer to all shareholders of CompuGroup Medical SE & Co. KGaA (‘CompuGroup Medical’ or ‘CGM’), CVC Capital Partners (‘CVC’) holds 20.43% of the total share capital and voting rights of CompuGroup Medical, directly or via instruments. CVC has thus exceeded the minimum acceptance threshold of 17%. Within the initial acceptance period, the voluntary public tender offer by a holding company, controlled by funds advised and managed by CVC, has been accepted for approximately 6.81% of the total share capital and voting rights of CompuGroup Medical. In addition, 13.62% of the total share capital and voting rights have been acquired through share purchases outside the offer, which are currently held by CVC directly and via instruments.

Remaining shareholders of CompuGroup Medical can still tender their shares during an additional acceptance period, which begins on 29 January 2025 and ends on 11 February 2025 at 24:00 hours (CET). The offer price of EUR 22 per share corresponds to a premium of 51.2% to the three-month volume-weighted average price preceding the announcement of the intention to launch the public tender offer and a premium of 33.5% to the closing price of CompuGroup Medical’s shares on 6 December 2024, the last close prior to the announcement of the tender offer.

The management of CompuGroup Medical and CVC have agreed to take the company private by way of a delisting offer immediately following the closing of the tender offer. CVC does not intend to increase the offer price for purposes of the delisting offer. Shareholders who remain invested will face the risk of holding an illiquid and unlisted stock with limited financial reporting and uncertainty if any retained shares can be sold at an adequate price. CVC does not require any further shares following the successful completion of the tender offer to initiate the delisting offer.

Details on how the tender offer can be accepted are set out in the offer document. CompuGroup Medical shareholders should contact their respective custodian bank to tender their shares and inquire about any relevant deadlines set by their custodian bank that may require actions prior to the formal end of the additional acceptance period.

The voluntary public tender offer remains subject to the completion of the regulatory conditions outlined in sections 12.1.1 and 12.1.2 of the offer document. Closing of the transaction is expected in Q2 2025.

In accordance with the requirements of the German Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act, the offer document (including an English-language convenience translation thereof) and other information in connection with CVC's public tender offer have been made available on the following website after approval by the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht): www.practice-public-offer.com

Important Notices:

This press release is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell shares of CompuGroup Medical SE & Co. KGaA ("CGM Shares"). The final terms of the takeover offer as well as other provisions relating to the takeover offer are set out solely in the offer document authorized for publication by the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht). Caesar BidCo (the "Bidder") reserves the right to deviate from the key items presented here in the final terms and conditions of the takeover offer to the extent legally permissible. Investors and holders of CGM Shares are strongly advised to read the offer document and all other documents relating to the takeover offer, as they contain important information. The offer document for the takeover offer (in German and a non-binding English translation) with the detailed terms and conditions and other information on the takeover offer is published amongst other information on the internet at www.practice-public-offer.com.

The takeover offer will be implemented exclusively on the basis of the applicable provisions of German law, in particular the German Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act (Wertpapiererwerbs- und Übernahmegesetz - WpÜG), and certain securities law provisions of the United States of America ("United States") relating to cross-border takeover offers. The takeover offer will not be conducted in accordance with the legal requirements of jurisdictions other than the Federal Republic of Germany or the United States (as applicable). Accordingly, no notices, filings, approvals or authorizations for the takeover offer have been filed, caused to be filed or granted outside the Federal Republic of Germany or the United States (as applicable). Investors and holders of CGM Shares cannot rely on being protected by the investor protection laws of any jurisdiction other than the Federal Republic of Germany or the United States (as applicable). Subject to the exceptions described in the offer document and, where applicable, any exemptions to be granted by the respective regulatory authorities, no takeover offer will be made, directly or indirectly, in those jurisdictions in which this would constitute a violation of applicable law. This press release may not be released or otherwise distributed in whole or in part, in any jurisdiction in which the takeover offer would be prohibited by applicable law.

The Bidder and/or persons acting jointly with the Bidder within the meaning of section 2 para 5 of the German Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act (Wertpapiererwerbs- und Übernahmegesetz – "WpÜG") and/or their subsidiaries within the meaning of section 2 para 6 WpÜG may acquire, or make arrangements to acquire, CGM Shares in a manner other than pursuant to the takeover offer on or off the stock exchange during the takeover offer's term, provided that such acquisitions or acquisition arrangements are made outside of the United States, comply with the applicable German statutory provisions, in particular the WpÜG, and provided that the takeover offer price is increased to correspond with any higher consideration paid outside of the takeover offer. Information on corresponding acquisitions or acquisition agreements will be published in the Federal Gazette (Bundesanzeiger) in accordance with Section 23 para. 2 WpÜG. This information is also published in a non-binding English translation on the Bidder's website at www.practice-public-offer.de.

The takeover offer mentioned in this press release relates to shares in a German company admitted to trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and is subject to the disclosure requirements, rules and practices applicable to companies listed in the Federal Republic of Germany, which differ from those of the United States and other jurisdictions in certain material respects. This press release has been prepared in accordance with German style and practice for the purposes of complying with the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. The financial information relating to the Bidder and CGM included elsewhere, including in the offer document, are prepared in accordance with provisions applicable in the Federal Republic of Germany and are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. As a result, it may not be comparable to financial information relating to United States companies or companies from other jurisdictions outside the Federal Republic of Germany.

The takeover offer will be made in the United States on the basis of the so-called Tier II cross-border exemption from certain requirements of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). This exemption allows the Bidder to comply with certain substantive and procedural rules of the Exchange Act for takeover bids by complying with the law or practice of the domestic legal system and exempts the Bidder from complying with certain other rules of the Exchange Act. Shareholders from the United States should note that CGM is not listed on a United States securities exchange, is not subject to the periodic requirements of the Exchange Act and is not required to, and does not, file any reports with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

CGM Shareholders whose place of residence, seat, or place of habitual abode is in the United States should note that the takeover offer is made in respect of securities of a company that is a "foreign private issuer" within the meaning of the Exchange Act, and the shares of which are not registered under section 12 of the Exchange Act. The takeover offer is being made in the United States in reliance on the Tier 2 cross-border exemption from certain requirements of the Exchange Act and is governed principally by disclosure and other regulations and procedures in Germany, which are different from those in the United States. To the extent that the takeover offer is subject to U.S. securities laws, such laws only apply to CGM Shareholders whose place of residence, seat, or place of habitual abode is in the United States, and no other person has any claims under such laws.

Any contract entered into with the Bidder as a result of the acceptance of the takeover offer will be governed exclusively by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. It may be difficult for shareholders from the United States (or from elsewhere outside of the Federal Republic of Germany) to enforce certain rights and claims arising in connection with the takeover offer under United States federal securities laws (or other laws they are acquainted with) since the Bidder and CGM are located outside the United States (or the jurisdiction where the shareholder resides), and their respective officers and directors reside outside the United States (or the jurisdiction where the shareholder resides). It may not be possible to sue a non-United States company or its officers or directors in a non-United States court for violations of United States securities laws. It also may not be possible to compel a non-United States company or its subsidiaries to submit themselves to a United States court’s judgment.

To the extent that this press release contains forward-looking statements, they are not statements of fact and are identified by the words "intend", "will" and similar expressions. These statements express the intentions, beliefs or current expectations and assumptions of the Bidder and the persons acting jointly with it. Such forward-looking statements are based on current plans, estimates and projections made by the Bidder and the persons acting jointly with it to the best of their knowledge, but are not guarantees of future accuracy (this applies in particular to circumstances beyond the control of the Bidder or the persons acting jointly with it). Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and are usually beyond the Bidder's control or the control of the persons acting jointly with it. It should be taken into account that actual results or consequences in the future may differ materially from those indicated or contained in the forward-looking statements. It cannot be ruled out that the Bidder and the persons acting jointly with it will change their intentions and estimates stated in documents or notifications or in the offer document yet to be published after publication of the documents, notifications or the offer document.
