The reverse split is a share exchange transaction, without any impact on the amount of the share capital: only the par value of the shares and, consequently, the number of outstanding shares, are modified.

The reverse stock split will begin on Thursday, January 26, 2023 and end on Friday, February 24, 2023, and the new consolidated shares will be listed as from Monday, February 27, 2023.

All other things being equal, this transaction will have no impact on the overall value of the Safe shares held by the shareholders, with the exception of fractional shares (see section Fractional shares).

The main characteristics of this consolidation are, as of the date of this press release, as follows

  • Basis of the reverse split: exchange of three thousand seven hundred (3,700) old ordinary shares with a par value of one euro cent (€0.01) per share for one (1) new share with a par value of thirty-seven euros (€37) per share and current dividend rights.
  • Number of shares subject to the reverse split: one billion four hundred and fifteen million two hundred and thirty-six thousand nine hundred and eighteen (1,415,236,918) shares of €0.01 par value each.

Number of shares to be issued as a result of the reverse split: three hundred and eighty-two thousand four hundred and ninety-six (382,496) shares with a par value of € 37 each.

  

It is indicated that a shareholder of the Company has expressly waived the consolidation of one thousand seven hundred and eighteen (1,718) old shares in order to allow the application of the exchange ratio to a whole number of shares. Its one thousand seven hundred and eighteen (1,718) old shares will therefore be cancelled.

  • Date of the reverse split: the reverse split will take effect on February 27, 2023, i.e. 30 days after the date of commencement of the reverse split operations
  • Exchange period: thirty (30) days as from the date of commencement of the consolidation operations, i.e. from January 26, 2023 to February 24, 2023 inclusive
