These acceptances, together with the Telenet shares already held by the Offeror and Telenet, represent 96.26% of the total shares issued by Telenet.

Payment of the offer price for the Telenet shares tendered during the mandatory reopening period (EUR 21.00 per share after deduction of the EUR 1.00 gross dividend approved by Telenet’s ordinary general meeting of 26 April 2023 and paid on 5 May 2023) will take place on the payment date, 21 September 2023.

Following the payment date, the Offeror will reopen the Offer as a simplified squeeze-out bid² (the Simplified Squeeze-Out), subject to the same financial conditions as the Offer.
