An Investment in the Issuer's Shares (including the New Shares), the Preferential Rights and/or the Scrips involves substantial risks and uncertainties and the investors could lose all or part of their investment. Prospective investors must be able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Issuer's Shares (including the New Shares), the Preferential Rights and/or the Scrips and should be able to sustain a total or partial loss of their investment. Prospective investors are advised to carefully consider the information contained in the information document referred to below (the "Information Document") (and the documents referred to therein) and, in particular the section 8 "Risk Factors" of the Information Document, before investing in the Issuer's Shares (including the New Shares), the Preferential Rights and/or the Scrips. Each decision to invest in the Issuer's Shares (including the New Shares), the Preferential Rights and/or the Scrips must be based on all information provided in the Information Document (and the documents referred to therein).

 

TINC announces that in the framework of its public offering to subscribe for a maximum of 12,121,212 new shares (the "New Shares") against an issue price of EUR 9.34 per New Share, as part of its capital increase in cash with non-statutory preferential subscription rights (the "Preferential Rights") (such public offering, the "Rights Offering"), already 9,158,589 New Shares were subscribed for by exercise of Preferential Rights (three (3) Preferential Rights entitled subscription for one (1) New Share). This represents a subscription of 75.56% of the maximum amount of EUR 113,212,120.08.  

The subscription period for the Preferential Rights started on 5 June 2025 (at 9.00 a.m. CEST) and closed on 17 June 2025 (at 4.00 p.m. CEST) (the "Rights Subscription Period"). The 8,887,869 Preferential Rights, represented by coupon no. 22,  that have not been exercised during the Rights Subscription Period will be converted into an equal number of scrips (the "Scrips") that shall be offered for sale by the Underwriters in a private placement with qualified investors in Belgium and by way of a private placement exempt from prospectus requirement or similar formality in such other jurisdictions as will be determined by the Issuer in consultation with the Joint Global Coordinators (outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act (as defined below) to qualified investors  (organised by way of an accelerated bookbuilding procedure in order to determine a single market price per Scrip) (the "Scrips Private Placement" and together with the Rights Offering, the "Offering").The Scrips Private Placement will take place as from the publication of this press release. 

The investors who buy Scrips, commit themselves irrevocably to subscribe for the remaining New Shares at the same conditions as applying to subscription with Preferential Rights: one (1) New Share at EUR 9.34 for three (3) Preferential Rights in the form of Scrips.

The net proceeds of the sale of the Scrips (the "Net Scrips Proceeds") (if any) will be divided proportionally between all holders of Preferential Rights who have not exercised them. If the Net Scrips Proceeds are less than EUR 0.01 per unexercised Preferential Right, the holders of Preferential Rights who have not exercised them are not entitled to receive any payment and, instead, the Net Scrips Proceeds will be transferred to the Issuer.

The results of the Scrips Private Placement and the end results of the Offering (including the amount and the number of New Shares that were subscribed for and the Net Scrips Proceeds) will in principle be announced via a new press release later today, 18 June 2025. At the request of the Issuer, the trading of its Shares on the regulated market of Euronext Brussels has been suspended today, 18 June 2025, until after the publication of such press release.

The New Shares issued in the Offering will bear full rights to dividends and other entitlements for which the relevant registration date or maturity date falls on or after the date of issuance of the New Shares.

Delivery of the New Shares will take place on or around 20 June 2025. The New Shares will be delivered in the form of dematerialised Shares (booked into the securities account of the subscriber), or, for registered shareholders, as registered Shares recorded in the Issuer's share register. The New Shares are expected to become tradeable on the regulated market of Euronext Brussels on 20 June 2025.

The Issuer's main shareholder Infravest BV exercised all of its Preferential Rights during the Rights Subscription Period. As described in the Information Document, Infravest BV also committed to place one or more orders in the Scrips Private Placement with the aim of subscribing to additional New Shares by exercising the non-statutory preferential subscription rights (in the form of Scrips) it might acquire within the framework of such placement for an amount not exceeding 20% of the total Offering and without any commitment, right or other guarantee by the Issuer to Infravest BV as to allocation of any Scrips or New Shares.
