  2. Investments in non-publicly traded companies (Cromology, Stahl, IHS, Constantia Flexibles, Allied Universal, Tsebo, Crisis Prevention Institute, indirect investments). As per its methodology, Wendel discarded companies in Stahl's and IHS's peer samples as their respective characteristics were deemed no more comparable in the post COVID-19 financial markets environment. As per previous NAV calculation as of December 31, 2019 IHS valuation as of March 31, 2020 was solely performed based on EBITDA which is at this stage the most relevant subtotal. Residual stake in Allied Universal is valued after the closing of Wendel's partial disposal. Stake in Crisis Prevention Institute is valued at the acquisition price.

Multiples and accounting aggregates used to calculate Net Asset Value do not take into account IFRS 16 impacts.

If co-investment conditions are realized, there could be a dilutive effect on Wendel's percentage ownership. These items have been taken into account in the calculation of NAV. See page 346 of the 2019 Universal Registration Document.
