This notice is being provided on a voluntary basis for informational purposes only. Pursuant to Condition 8(f) (Redemption at the Option of the Bondholders on any Optional Put Date), the Bondholders have the right to require the Issuer to redeem the Bonds on the First Optional Put Date of 28 May 2022 (the "Put Right") at the Early Redemption Amount together with accrued but unpaid interest up to (but excluding) 28 May 2022. The Early Redemption Amount (as defined in the Conditions) amounts to 114 per cent. of each EUR 100,000 in principal amount of the Bonds to be redeemed (the "Put Price"). The period for the Bondholders to exercise the Put Right by delivering an Optional Put Exercise Notice expired on 28 April 2022. Aggregate Holdings S.A.
