The offer described in this press release (the "Offer") will be launched by Green BidCo S.p.A. (the "Offeror") on a maximum of 95,879,597 ordinary shares (the "Shares") of Falck Renewables S.p.A. ("FKR"). This press release does not constitute either a purchase offer or a solicitation to sell the Shares of FKR.

Prior to the beginning of the tender period of the Offer, the Offeror will publish an offer document (the "Offer Document"), which FKR's shareholders must carefully review. The Offer is addressed, on equal conditions, to all the holders of the Shares and will be launched in Italy and extended to the United States of America and, except as indicated below, is subject to disclosure obligations and procedural requirements provided for by Italian law.

The Offer is extended in the United States of America in compliance with Section 14(e) and Regulation 14E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "U.S. Securities Exchange

Act"), without prejudice to the applicable exemptions set forth in Rule 14d-1(d) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act. If market conditions occur, and to the extent permitted under applicable laws, including Rule 14e-5 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act and in accordance with customary Italian practice, the Offeror and its affiliates intend to purchase, after the date of this press release, Shares of FKR outside the Offer, on the market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices, at a price no higher than the consideration of the Offer, with the intent of further increasing its stake in the share capital of FKR. To the extent information about such purchases is made public in Italy, such information will be disclosed by means of a press release or other similar means to inform FKR's shareholders located in the United States of America of such information. No purchases will be made outside of the Offer in the United States of America by or on behalf of the Offeror or its affiliates.

In order to comply with the rules and exemptions provided by US law, an Offer Document translated into English is being made available to the holders of the Shares resident in the

United States of America. The English version of the Offer Document is merely a courtesy translation and the Italian version of the Offer Document will be the only document submitted to CONSOB for its approval.

The Offer has not been and will not be launched or promoted by the Offeror in Canada, Japan, Australia or in any other country other than Italy and the United States of America in which such Offer is not permitted in absence of the authorization of the competent authorities or other obligations from the Offeror (such countries, including Canada, Japan and Australia, jointly, the "Other Countries"), nor by using instruments of communication or national or international commerce of the Other Countries (including but not limited to the postal network, fax, telex, email, telephone and internet), nor by way of any structure of any of the financial intermediaries of the Other Countries nor in any other way.

Copy of this press release, or portions of the same, as also copy of any subsequent document which will be issued in connection with the Offer, are not and must not be sent, nor in any way transmitted or distributed, directly or indirectly in the Other Countries. Any party who receives the abovementioned documents must not distribute, send or transmit them (either by post nor by any other method or instrument of communication or commerce) in the Other Countries.

This press release, as well as any other document that has or will be issued in connection with the Offer does not constitute and cannot be interpreted as an offer to purchase or solicitation of an offer to sell financial instruments to parties resident in Other Countries. No instrument may be offered or sold in the Other Countries in the absence of specific authorization in compliance with the applicable provisions of the local law of those countries or in derogation of those provisions. Tenders in the Offer by parties resident in countries other than Italy and the United States of America may be subject to specific obligations or restrictions provided by law or regulatory provisions. Parties who wish to take part in the Offer bear the exclusive responsibility to comply with those laws and therefore prior to tendering their Shares in the Offer, those parties are required to verify their possible existence and applicability, consulting their own advisors.
