Regulatory News:

Reference is made to the simplified tender offer which has been filed by TCC Group Holdings Co., Ltd ("TCC"; TWSE: 1101) on 8 July 2024, with the French Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF notice no. 224C1129), through its indirect subsidiary Taiwan Cement Europe Holdings B.V., on the shares of NHOA S.A. (EURONEXT PARIS: NHOA.PA) ("NHOA" or the "Company") (the "Tender Offer

The ad hoc committee of the Board of Directors of NHOA, in light of the preliminary work of the independent expert (Ledouble) (the "Independent Expert") and Rothschild Cie (as financial advisor to the ad hoc committee) has expressed some reservations as to the fairness of the €1.10 price per NHOA share in cash proposed by TCC and has asked TCC to express its intentions regarding the Tender Offer in light of this feedback. The ad hoc committee underlined that the first estimates of the value per NHOA share in a "sum of the parts" valuation approach result in an amount greater than €1.10 per share. This is notably due to Free2move eSolutions' (NHOA's joint venture with Stellantis) and Atlante's valuations.

NHOA understands that TCC is examining the feedback received to date. It is expected that TCC would be declaring its intentions regarding the terms of the Tender Offer no later than 20 August 2024. Trading on the NHOA shares on the regulated market of Euronext in Paris will resume as soon as possible thereafter.

The timing for the delivery of the Independent Expert's final report to the ad hoc committee and to the Board and the filing of the Company's draft response document with the AMF will be adapted accordingly.
