The offering is comprised of 90,909,091 newly issued shares, and 9,090,909 shares will be, if exercised, issued as a part of an overallotment option granted by Marel. Assuming the overallotment option is exercised in full, the offering will comprise of up to 100,000,000 shares, equivalent to approximately 15% of Marel’s total issued share capital.

In Iceland the minimum size of orders is restricted to offer shares with a purchase value equal to EUR 1,000.
Funds and accounts under management by Blackrock and Credit Suisse Asset Management (Switzerland) Ltd. have committed to subscribe throughout the offer price range. The total combined commitments correspond to up to EUR 102 million, representing 226.2-28.6% of the offer shares, and 3.4-3.7% of the company’s outstanding share capital following completion of the offering. Each cornerstone investor’s commitment is subject to a maximum offer price of EUR 3.90 per share and other customary conditions.
Allotment to investors who have placed orders for offer shares will be determined by the Company.
There will be a preferential allocation of offer shares to retail investors in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Each retail investor will be allocated the first 1,350 (or fewer) offer shares for which such investor applies. However, if the total number of offer shares subscribed for by retail investors under the preferential retail allocation would exceed 10% of the total number of the offer shares in aggregate, assuming no exercise of the overallotment option, the preferential allocation to each retail investor may be reduced pro rata to the first 1,350 (or fewer) offer shares for which such investor applies. As a result, retail investors may not be allocated all of the first 1,350 (or fewer) offer shares for which they apply. The exact number of offer shares allocated to retail investors will be determined after the offer period has ended.
The allocation of the offer shares is expected to take place after termination of the offer period on or about 6 June 2019.
The offer price will be set in EUR and, for the public offer in Iceland, the purchase price will be converted into ISK based on the official exchange selling rate of EUR/ISK as published by the Central Bank of Iceland on the date of allocation expected to be on or around 6 June 2019.
