TA successfully exceeds minimum acceptance threshold of public
takeover offer for Nexus – additional acceptance period commences

20 December 2024

• Acceptance rate at the end of the initial acceptance period amounts to approx. 79.86 % of all Nexus shares, exceeding the minimum acceptance threshold of 50% of all Nexus shares plus one share
• Shareholders who have not tendered their shares can still accept the Offer during the additional acceptance period which will end on 3 January 2025 at 24:00 hours (Frankfurt am Main local time)
• TA intends to delist Nexus from the stock exchange after settlement of the Offer

Project Neptune Bidco GmbH, a holding company controlled by investment funds advised and managed by affiliates of TA Associates Management, L.P. (together “TA”) today published the results of its voluntary public takeover offer (the “Offer”) for all shares of Nexus AG (“Nexus”, ISIN: DE0005220909) at the end of the initial acceptance period.

At the expiry of the initial acceptance period on 17 December 2024 at 24:00 hours, Frankfurt am Main local time, the Offer was accepted for 13,796,212 Nexus shares. This represents approximately
79.86 % of all Nexus shares, including approximately 26.9 % which TA had already secured through irrevocable undertakings with key Nexus shareholders. The minimum acceptance threshold of 50 % of all Nexus shares plus one share was therefore successfully exceeded.

“We are very pleased to have reached this milestone in our public takeover offer for Nexus. We see great potential to continue Nexus’ growth trajectory outside the stock market and look forward to supporting the management in increasing Nexus’ market share in the international e-health market. This requires a private ownership structure to benefit from financial flexibility and a long-term value creation mindset,” said Stefan Dandl, Director at TA.

Nexus shareholders who have not yet tendered their shares still have the opportunity to accept the Offer within the additional acceptance period, which starts on 21 December 2024 and ends on 3 January 2025 at 24:00 hours, Frankfurt am Main local time, and 18:00 hours, New York local time.

Settlement of the Offer is subject to customary regulatory conditions, including antitrust and foreign investment control clearances. Subject to the fulfilment of these conditions, settlement of the Offer is currently expected to take place in the first quarter of 2025. As soon as possible after the settlement of the Offer, TA intends to pursue a delisting of Nexus from the stock exchange. The Management Board of Nexus supports the intended delisting of Nexus in order to implement its long-term strategy outside of a stock market environment, subject to legal admissibility and careful review at the relevant time.

The offer document, a non-binding English translation and other information in connection with TA's Offer are available on the following website: .
