DGAP-Ad-hoc: zooplus AG / Key word(s): Offer zooplus AG - Publication of inside information according to Article 17 of the Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 Further, with a view to a successful completion of the Takeover Offer, H&F and EQT have equally notified the Company today that they have formed a partnership to finance the Takeover Offer. EQT notified the Company that it plans, subject to required regulatory approvals and other conditions, to become a jointly controlling partner with equal governance rights in a parent of Zorro Bidco following settlement of the Takeover Offer. In this context, the Management Board and the Supervisory Board of the Company have also reiterated their support of a future delisting of the Company. The formation of the partnership between H&F and EQT, as well as the increase of the consideration under the Takeover Offer, do not affect the duration of the acceptance period of the Takeover Offer, which will expire unchanged on November 3, 2021, 24:00 hrs. CET. Further, all offer conditions under the Takeover Offer remain equally unaffected, including the minimum acceptance threshold of 50 percent of all zooplus Shares plus one zooplus Share. The irrevocable tender commitments which Zorro Bidco has concluded with certain zooplus shareholders for approximately 17 percent of the share capital of the Company remain binding on the relevant shareholders, who have already tendered the relevant zooplus Shares into the Takeover Offer.
