28 January 2020

Aroundtown SA announces offer to the holders of its €650,000,000 (€650,000,000 outstanding) 1.5% Notes due 2024 to tender such Notes for purchase for cash.

The Board of Directors of Aroundtown SA (the "Company") has decided today to offer to the holders of its €650,000,000 1.5% Notes due 2024 with a principal amount outstanding of €650,000,000 (the "Notes") to tender the Notes for purchase by the Company for cash (the "Offer").

The Offer shall be subject to the terms and conditions set out in the tender offer memorandum dated 28 January 2020 (the "Tender Offer Memorandum") prepared by the Company.

Capitalised terms used in this announcement but not defined have the meanings given to them in the Tender Offer Memorandum.

Material pricing terms

After the Settlement Date, the Company will have the option to redeem all of the then outstanding Notes at their principal amount, together with accrued but unpaid interest, if any, to (but excluding) the relevant redemption date, if after the Settlement Date purchases (and corresponding cancellations) and/or redemptions should have been effected in respect of 80 per cent or more in aggregate principal amount of the Notes.

Rationale for the Offer

The offer is following the Company's liability management strategy, both reducing the cost of debt and extending the average debt maturity period. Furthermore, following the Company's long term strategic goal to achieve an 'A' global rating, the Company would like to have the option to redeem shorter and more expensive debt.

Offer and Modified Dutch Auction Procedure

Subject to the Specified Denomination (as defined in the Tender Offer Memorandum), the Purchase Price will be determined pursuant to a modified Dutch auction procedure, as described in the Tender Offer Memorandum. Under the modified Dutch auction procedure, the Company will announce as soon as reasonably practicable after the Pricing Time on the Pricing Date (a) the Final Acceptance Amount and (b) the price it will pay for such Notes (the "Purchase Price"), taking into account the principal amount of Notes so tendered and the Offer Spreads specified (or deemed to be specified, as set out below) by tendering Noteholders in respect of Notes (and therefore the Purchase Yield). The Purchase Price (if any) will represent the lowest price that will enable the Company to purchase an aggregate principal amount of Notes which equals the Final Acceptance Amount.

The Purchase Price will be determined in accordance with market convention and expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of the Notes accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer, and is intended to reflect a yield to maturity of the Notes on the Settlement Date based on the Purchase Yield. Specifically, the Purchase Price will equal (a) the value of all remaining payments of principal and interest on the Notes up to and including the scheduled maturity date of the Notes, discounted to the Settlement Date at a discount rate equal to the Purchase Yield (calculated as the sum of the Clearing Spread and the Interpolated Mid-Swap Rate), minus (b) Accrued Interest.

The Clearing Spread shall be the lower of (i) 50 basis points (the "Maximum Offer Spread") and (ii) a single spread specified in Competitive Tender Instructions by tendering Noteholders, such that (i) or (ii) will enable the Company to purchase its desired principal amount of Notes. If no Competitive Tender Instructions are tendered, the Clearing Spread will be the Maximum Offer Spread.

The Clearing Spread will apply to all Notes accepted for purchase, irrespective of whether a Competitive Tender Instruction or Non-Competitive Tender Instruction is submitted in respect of such Notes.

Accrued Interest

The Company will also pay an Accrued Interest Payment in respect of Notes validly tendered and delivered and accepted for purchase by the Company pursuant to the Offer.

Final Acceptance Amount

The Company is not under any obligation to accept for purchase any Notes tendered pursuant to the Offer. The acceptance for purchase by the Company of Notes tendered pursuant to the Offer is at the sole discretion of the Company and tenders may be rejected by the Company for any, or no, reason.

On or prior to the Settlement Date, the Final Acceptance Amount will be determined by the Company in its sole discretion at or around the Pricing Time on the Pricing Date and will be announced by the Company as soon as reasonably practicable after the Pricing Time on the Pricing Date.

Scaling of Tender Offers

In the circumstances (described in the Tender Offer Memorandum) in which Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Offer are to be accepted on a pro rata basis, each such tender of Notes will be scaled by a factor (the "Scaling Factor") equal to (i) the Final Acceptance Amount less the aggregate principal amount of the Notes that have been validly tendered and accepted for purchase and are not subject to acceptance on a pro rata basis (if any), divided by (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Notes that have been validly tendered and are subject to acceptance on a pro rata basis (subject to adjustment to allow for the aggregate principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase, following the rounding of tenders of such Notes described in the next sentence, to equal the Final Acceptance Amount exactly).

Each tender of Notes that is subject to scaling will be rounded (up or down at the Company's discretion) to the nearest €100,000 in nominal amount to avoid the repurchase of Notes in principal amounts other than integral multiples of €100,000.

Total Amount Payable to Noteholders

If the Company decides to accept valid tenders of Notes pursuant to the Offer, the total consideration that will be payable to each Noteholder on the Settlement Date for the Notes accepted for purchase from such Noteholder will be an amount (rounded to the nearest €0.01, with €0.005 being rounded upwards) equal to the sum of:

(a) the product of (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Notes accepted for purchase from such Noteholder pursuant to the Offer and (ii) the Purchase Price; and

(b) the Accrued Interest Payment on the Notes.

The Purchase Price will be determined in accordance with market convention, at the Pricing Time on the Pricing Date in the manner described in the Tender Offer Memorandum.

Expected Timetable of Key Events

The following table sets forth the expected dates and times of the key events relating to the Offer. The times and dates below are indicative only and subject to changes.

The Company may, subject to applicable laws, at its option and in its sole discretion, at any time before any acceptance by it of any Notes tendered for purchase in the Offer extend each of the dates above (in which case all references in the Tender Offer Memorandum to such extended date will, unless the context otherwise requires, be to the latest time and date to which such date has been so extended).

Tender Instructions

In order to participate in, and be eligible to receive the Purchase Price and the Accrued Interest Payment pursuant to the Offer, Noteholders must validly tender their Notes by delivering, or arranging to have delivered on their behalf, a valid Tender Instruction in respect of Notes held by such Noteholders that is received by the Tender Agent by the Expiration Deadline. See "Procedures for Participating in the Offer" in the Tender Offer Memorandum.

Noteholders are advised to check with any bank, securities broker or other intermediary through which they hold Notes when such intermediary would need to receive instructions from a Noteholder in order for that Noteholder to be able to participate in, or (in the limited circumstances in which revocation is permitted) revoke their instruction to participate in, the Offer before the deadlines specified in the Tender Offer Memorandum. The deadlines set by any such intermediary and each Clearing System for the submission of Tender Instructions may be earlier than the relevant deadlines specified above.
