For Immediate Release

29 October 2021

Shareholder Update

DP Eurasia N.V.

(DP Eurasia or the Company, and together with its subsidiaries, the Group)

Further to the announcement on 27 October 2021, the committee of the board of the Company (the "IndependentCommittee"), comprising all the independent directors, being the Chairman of the Board of DP Eurasia, Peter Williams, and the Senior Independent Non-Executive Director, David Adams, provides an update following feedback from shareholders who are eligible to tender their shares into the reverse bookbuild by Jubilant Foodworks Netherlands B.V. ("Jubilant") (the "RBB").

Feedback from shareholders

The Independent Committee has consulted with a number of shareholders eligible to tender into the RBB.

· Shareholders representing 42.4% of total issued share capital (and 63.0% of total issued share capital excluding shares owned by Jubilant) have not tendered and have provided their written intention not to tender.

· The Independent Committee is mindful that, of the balance, a significant proportion has not been consulted on the assumption of ineligibility to tender.

· No shareholder with whom the Independent Committee has consulted has indicated to them an intention to tender any shares.

Given the impact of certain shareholders' decisions on other shareholders, the Independent Committee believes that it is in the best interests of all shareholders for this information to be fully communicated prior to shareholders making their final decision as to whether or not to tender.

Recommendation

The Independent Committee maintains its recommendation that shareholders do not tender their shares under the RBB as further set out in the Company's announcement of 27 October 2021.

Forward-looking statements

This document, including information included or incorporated by reference in this document, may include statements that are, or may be deemed to be, "forward-looking statements". These forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms "targets", "believes", "estimates", "plans", "projects", "anticipates", "expects", "intends", "may", "will" or "should" or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy, plans, objectives, goals, future events or intentions. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts and involve predictions. Forward-looking statements may and often do differ materially from actual results. Any forward-looking statements reflect the Company's current view with respect to future events and are subject to risks relating to future events and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to the Company's business, results of operations, financial position, liquidity, prospects, growth or strategies and the industry in which it operates. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and cannot be relied upon as a guide to future performance. There are many factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements. Among such factors are changes in the global, political, social, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory forces, future exchange and interest rates, changes in tax rates, future business combinations or disposals, and any epidemic, pandemic or disease outbreak.

These forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions regarding the present and future business strategies of such persons and the environment in which each will operate in the future. By their nature, these forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. The factors described in the context of such forward-looking statements in this document may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of any such person, or industry results and developments, to be materially different from any results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. No assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct and persons reading this document are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements that speak only as at the date of this document. All subsequent oral or written forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or its affiliates or any persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statement above. The Company does not intend, nor undertakes any obligation, to update publicly or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent legally required.
