Boussard & Gavaudan Holding Ltd (EUR): Extension of deadline for elections and the provision of documentation

Boussard & Gavaudan Holding Limited (the "Company”)
a closed-ended investment company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of Guernsey with registration number 45582

Legal Entity Identifier: 5493002XNM3W9D6DF327

Extension of deadline for elections and the provision of documentation under

the Rollover Option to 29 August 2024

On 25 June 2024, the Company published a shareholder circular concerning the Rollover Option being made available to Eligible Shareholders (the "Circular"). The Board recognises that a number of Shareholders have expressed their willingness to participate in the Rollover Option but have been unable to meet the deadline of Close of Business on 22 August 2024 for the making of elections and the provision of certain documentation, as set out in the Circular.

As a result, the Board has decided to extend the deadline for the receipt of Election Forms, TTE Instructions and/or the delivery of Shares via Euroclear Nederland (as applicable), Application Forms and AML Documentation (the "Election Date" and "Documentation Date", as defined in the Circular) to Close of Business on 29 August 2024, in order to ensure that all Eligible Shareholders wishing to participate in the Rollover Option have the opportunity to do so.

For the avoidance of doubt, any duly submitted Election Form in respect of which a TTE Instruction or delivery of Shares via Euroclear Nederland was pending (or vice versa) as at the original Election Date will continue to be valid for the purposes of the extended deadline.

Shareholders should refer to the Circular for full details of the Rollover Option, including the procedure for the making of elections and the submission of the relevant documentation.

Unless otherwise defined, capitalised terms used in this announcement shall have the same meaning as set out in the Circular.
