  • You can read the full offer document here: www.offer-power.com

When and how can I, as a PSI shareholder, accept Warburg Pincus’ offer and tender my shares?
  • After publication of the offer document, PSI shareholders will receive a notification from their respective custodian bank. On the offer website www.offer-power.com and in the notifications from the custodian banks, shareholders will be informed about the specific steps to tender their shares.

  • The offer price of EUR 45.00 per share in cash stated in the offer document represents an attractive premium of 84 percent to the XETRA closing share price of PSI on October 08, 2025, the last undisturbed share price prior to the ad-hoc release of PSI on October 09, 2025, that the Company is in advanced discussions with three parties, and 63 percent to the undisturbed three-month volume-weighted average share price of PSI shares prior to October 09, 2025. 

  • Ultimately, PSI shareholders will have to decide for themselves whether they find the offer attractive, as this depends on several individual factors. PSI shareholders are advised to read the offer document carefully. The Management Board and the Supervisory Board intend to recommend the acceptance of the offer to PSI’s shareholders in a joint Reasoned Statement.

Can the offer be accepted after the acceptance period has expired?
  • PSI shareholders who have not tendered their shares within the initial acceptance period by December 15, 24:00 hrs. CET, have the opportunity to accept the offer during the so-called “additional acceptance period”. However, this only applies if the minimum acceptance threshold is met by the end of the acceptance period or the bidder has effectively waived this requirement beforehand. The minimum acceptance threshold is 50 percent of the PSI shares plus one share. 

  • The additional acceptance period is expected to commence on December 19, 2025 and to expire on January 02, 2026, 24:00 hrs. CET. After the end of the additional acceptance period, the takeover offer cannot be accepted anymore.

What do I have to do if I do not want to accept the offer?
  • PSI shareholders who may not want to accept the offer don’t need to do anything. 

  • Please note, however, that Warburg Pincus contemplates a delisting of PSI shares following the closing of the Offer. This may impact remaining shareholders in their ability to sell their shares.
