As announced on July 22, 2024, CapMan Growth Equity Fund III Ky, a fund managed by CapMan Group affiliated companies, ("CapMan Growth”), Sami Ensio, the founder, CEO and member of the Board of Directors of Innofactor Plc, through the holding company Ensio Investment Group Oy controlled by him, and the co-investor Osprey Capital Oy ("Osprey Capital”) form a consortium (the "Consortium”) for the purposes of the voluntary recommended public cash tender offer for all the issued and outstanding shares in Innofactor Plc ("Innofactor” or the "Company”) that are not held by Innofactor or its subsidiaries (the "Shares”) (the "Tender Offer”), made by Onni Bidco Oy (the "Offeror”), a private limited liability company incorporated and existing under the laws of Finland. The Offeror has on August 2, 2024, published the tender offer document concerning the Tender Offer. The offer period for the Tender Offer commenced on August 5, 2024, at 9:30 a.m. (Finnish time) and expired on September 16, 2024, at 4:00 p.m. (Finnish time).

According to the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer, the completion of the Tender Offer is subject to, among other things, the fulfilment or waiver by the Offeror of the condition that the Tender Offer has been validly accepted with respect to Shares representing, together with any other Shares otherwise acquired by the Offeror prior to or during the offer period, more than 90 percent of the Shares and voting rights in the Company calculated on a fully diluted basis and otherwise in accordance with Chapter 18 Section 1 of the Finnish Companies Act (624/2006, as amended, the "Finnish Companies Act”) (the "Minimum Acceptance Condition”), allowing the Offeror to commence compulsory redemption proceedings in accordance with the Finnish Companies Act.

As announced by the Offeror in connection with the preliminary result of the Tender Offer on 17 September 2024, the Offeror decided that it will waive the Minimum Acceptance Condition and complete the Tender Offer in accordance with its terms and conditions provided that all other conditions to completion of the Tender Offer, as set forth in the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer, have been fulfilled at the time of the announcement of the final result or are waived.

According to the final result of the Tender Offer, the 18,288,674 Shares tendered (including tendered Shares held and controlled by Sami Ensio) represent approximately 51.10 percent of the Shares and voting rights in Innofactor, which together with the 10,699,427 Shares otherwise acquired by the Offeror prior to or during the offer period, represent in aggregate approximately 81.00 percent of the Shares and voting rights in Innofactor. As the Minimum Acceptance Condition has been waived and all other conditions to completion of the Tender Offer have been fulfilled, the Offeror will complete the Tender Offer in accordance with its terms and conditions.

The offer price is expected to be paid on or prior to October 10, 2024, to each shareholder who has validly accepted, and not validly withdrawn, the Tender Offer in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer. The offer price will be paid in accordance with the payment procedures described in the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer. The actual time of receipt of the payment will depend on the schedule for payment transactions between financial institutions.

In order to provide those shareholders of Innofactor who have not yet accepted the Tender Offer with a further possibility to accept the Tender Offer, the Offeror has decided to commence a subsequent offer period in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer (the "Subsequent Offer Period"). The Subsequent Offer Period will commence on September 19, 2024, at 9:30 (Finnish time) and expire on October 3, 2024, at 16:00 (Finnish time). During the Subsequent Offer Period, the Tender Offer can be accepted in accordance with the acceptance procedure described in the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer. As the Offeror has declared the Tender Offer unconditional, all acceptances will be binding and cannot be withdrawn. Further instructions can be obtained from the relevant account operator or asset manager, or OP Custody Ltd by sending an e-mail to tenderoffers@op.fi.

The Offeror will announce the preliminary percentage of the Shares validly tendered during the Subsequent Offer Period on or about October 4, 2024, and the final percentage on or about October 8, 2024. The offer price will be paid to each shareholder who has validly accepted the Tender Offer during the Subsequent Offer Period on or about October 10, 2024. The actual time of receipt of the payment will depend on the schedule for payment transactions between financial institutions.

Information for shareholders of Innofactor in the United States

Shareholders of Innofactor in the United States are advised that the Shares are not listed on a U.S. securities exchange and that Innofactor is not subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act”), and is not required to, and does not, file any reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC”) thereunder.

The Tender Offer will be made for the issued and outstanding shares of Innofactor, which is domiciled in Finland, and is subject to Finnish disclosure and procedural requirements. The Tender Offer is made in the United States pursuant to Section 14(e) and Regulation 14E under the Exchange Act, subject to the exemption provided under Rule 14d-1(c) under the Exchange Act, for a Tier I tender offer, and otherwise in accordance with the disclosure and procedural requirements of Finnish law, including with respect to the Tender Offer timetable, settlement procedures, withdrawal, waiver of conditions and timing of payments, which are different from those of the United States. In particular, the financial information included in this stock exchange release has been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards in Finland, which may not be comparable to the financial statements or financial information of U.S. companies. The Tender Offer is made to Innofactor’s shareholders resident in the United States on the same terms and conditions as those made to all other shareholders of Innofactor to whom an offer is made. Any informational documents, including this stock exchange release, are being disseminated to U.S. shareholders on a basis comparable to the method that such documents are provided to Innofactor’s other shareholders.

To the extent permissible under applicable law or regulations, the Offeror and its affiliates or its brokers and its brokers’ affiliates (acting as agents for the Offeror or its affiliates, as applicable) may from time to time after the date of this stock exchange release and during the pendency of the Tender Offer, and other than pursuant to the Tender Offer, directly or indirectly purchase or arrange to purchase Shares or any securities that are convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for Shares. These purchases may occur either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices. To the extent information about such purchases or arrangements to purchase is made public in Finland, such information will be disclosed by means of a press release or other means reasonably calculated to inform U.S. shareholders of Innofactor of such information. In addition, the financial adviser to the Offeror may also engage in ordinary course trading activities in securities of Innofactor, which may include purchases or arrangements to purchase such securities. To the extent required in Finland, any information about such purchases will be made public in Finland in the manner required by Finnish law.

Neither the SEC nor any U.S. state securities commission has approved or disapproved the Tender Offer, passed upon the merits or fairness of the Tender Offer, or passed any comment upon the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of the disclosure in relation to the Tender Offer. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the United States.

The receipt of cash pursuant to the Tender Offer by a U.S. holder of Shares may be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes and under applicable U.S. state and local, as well as foreign and other, tax laws. Each holder of Shares is urged to consult its independent professional advisers immediately regarding the tax and other consequences of accepting the Tender Offer.

To the extent the Tender Offer is subject to U.S. securities laws, those laws only apply to U.S. holders of Shares and will not give rise to claims on the part of any other person. It may be difficult for Innofactor’s shareholders to enforce their rights and any claims they may have arising under the U.S. federal securities laws, since the Offeror and Innofactor are located in non-U.S. jurisdictions and some or all of their respective officers and directors may be residents of non-U.S. jurisdictions. Innofactor shareholders may not be able to sue the Offeror or Innofactor or their respective officers or directors in a non-U.S. court for violations of the U.S. federal securities laws. It may be difficult to compel the Offeror and Innofactor and their respective affiliates to subject themselves to a U.S. court’s judgment.
