(“MidCo”), an entity affiliated with L Catterton (the “Selling Shareholder”), at a price to the public of $39.35 per share. In connection with the offering, the Selling Shareholder has granted the underwriter a 30-day option to purchase up to 3,828,483 additional Ordinary Shares.

Subject to the completion of this offering, BIRKENSTOCK has agreed to repurchase, by way of redemption from the underwriter, 12,761,613 Ordinary Shares that are subject to this offering, at a price per share equal to the price per share to be paid by the underwriter to the Selling Shareholder in the offering, which redeemed Ordinary Shares will be cancelled and no longer outstanding following the completion of the redemption.

J.P. Morgan is acting as underwriter for the offering.
