Main Terms of the Proposed Tender Offer

The proposed mandatory simplified[1] public tender offer for the securities of the Company was the subject of a press release issued by Avantage and published in full on 6 July 2026.

The proposed offer follows the execution of an acting in concert agreement between the founding shareholders[2] (the "Founding Shareholders") and the principal institutional investors[3] (the "Investors") of Voyageurs du Monde with a view to acquiring the remaining share capital of Voyageurs du Monde.

The proposed offer, pursuant to which Avantage offers to acquire all of the Company's outstanding shares for cash at a price of €180 per share and all of its outstanding convertible bonds at a price of €182.52 per convertible bond, was presented to the Board of Directors of Voyageurs du Monde at its meeting held today.

The Board of Directors also noted Avantage's stated intention to continue the Company's business and development, with no particular impact on Voyageurs du Monde's commercial strategy or employment policy, including workforce levels and human resources management.

It is further noted that the principal Investors[4] will contribute the Voyageurs du Monde shares they hold directly to Avantage and that Avantage has entered into an agreement with Amiral Gestion for the acquisition of a block of 73,969 Voyageurs du Monde shares, representing 1.65% of the Company's share capital, at a price of €180 per share.

Following completion of the shareholding reorganisation and the acquisition of the block of shares, Avantage will hold 86.44% of the share capital and 90.52% of the voting rights of Voyageurs du Monde.

Avantage has also indicated that it intends to implement a squeeze-out procedure following completion of the offer, provided that the legal conditions for such procedure are satisfied.

The filing of the proposed offer with the French Financial Markets Authority (Autorité des marchés financiers – AMF), which will review its compliance with the applicable regulations, is expected to take place in early September 2026.

Governance

The proposed transaction will have no impact on the executive governance or management continuity of Voyageurs du Monde.

Jean-François Rial will continue to serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Alain Capestan and Lionel Habasque will continue to serve as Deputy Chief Executive Officers. In addition, Alain Capestan will remain Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of Avantage, while Jean-François Rial and Lionel Habasque will continue to serve as Deputy Chief Executive Officers of Avantage.

Avantage has confirmed its intention to continue the development of Voyageurs du Monde by relying on the current management team, which will continue to define and implement the Group's strategy.

Establishment of an Offer Committee and Appointment of the Independent Expert

In accordance with the provisions of the AMF General Regulation, the Board of Directors has established an Offer Committee (Comité d’Offre) from among its members. The Offer Committee is composed of:

• Mr. Alain Capestan, Director and Deputy Chief Executive Officer;
• Ms. Marie-Emeline Bordier, permanent representative of Avantage, Director;
• Ms. Caroline Giral-Deppen, permanent representative of Crédit Mutuel Equity SCR, Director.

As the Offer Committee is not composed of a majority of independent directors, the identity of the proposed independent expert was submitted to the AMF for approval, in accordance with Article 261-1-1 I of the AMF General Regulation.

On the recommendation of the Offer Committee, the Board of Directors appointed Crowe HAF (represented by Mr. Olivier Grivillers) as independent expert to prepare a report on the fairness of the financial terms of the proposed offer.

The reasoned opinion (avis motivé) of the Board of Directors and the report of the independent expert will be made public in due course as part of the Company's draft response document (projet de note en réponse), the filing of which with the AMF will be announced by the Company.
