The Offer Period has been further extended because it is expected that the Regulatory Clearances will not be obtained before the current expiration of the Offer Period on 19 August 2022 at 17:40 hours CET.

CSC and Intertrust continue to work constructively to satisfy all Offer Conditions. All applications for the Regulatory Clearances have been filed and approval has been obtained from each of the regulators in Guernsey, Hong Kong, Jersey, the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom.

At the date of this press release, CSC and Intertrust have not yet received each of the Regulatory Clearances in the following jurisdictions: the British Virgin Islands, the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands, Curaçao, Ireland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Singapore. There may be more than one Regulatory Clearance to be obtained in certain jurisdictions. CSC and Intertrust continue to anticipate that the Offer will close in the second half of 2022.

Tendered shares and withdrawal rights
Shares tendered prior to 19 August 2022 at 17:40 hours CET (i.e. the end of the Offer Period as initially extended) are permitted to be withdrawn. Any Shares tendered during the Offer Period that are not withdrawn will remain subject to the Offer.

As a result of the adoption of the Asset Sale and Liquidation Resolutions at the general meeting of Intertrust on 31 May 2022, under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer Memorandum, the Acceptance Threshold has been reduced from 95% to 80%.

Certainty of funds
With reference to the joint press release of 6 December 2021 and section 6.5 of the Offer Memorandum, CSC reconfirms that, in accordance with article 7, paragraph 4, of the Decree, CSC will have, with its cash available resources and receipt of proceeds from the anticipated debt financing,  sufficient resources in place to replace Intertrust’s current bank/debt facilities, fund the acquisition of all issued and outstanding shares under the Offer and pay the fees and expenses related to the Offer.

Further announcements
CSC and Intertrust will make a public announcement (i) promptly following the receipt of each remaining Regulatory Clearance in the abovementioned remaining jurisdictions, and (ii) if and when the Offer Condition with respect to the Regulatory Clearances is satisfied, waived or has become incapable of being satisfied, or (iii) as otherwise required by applicable law.

^{The Offeror confirms that the Offer Memorandum is up to date in all material respects in the sense that it contains all material information required for shareholders to adequately consider the Offer. For the avoidance of doubt, the exemption granted by the AFM only pertains to the aforementioned further extension of the Offer Period and all other relevant provisions of the Decree and the Dutch Act on Financial Supervision (Wet op het financieel toezicht), as well as the Offer Conditions, remain applicable.}
