All of the issued Shares are outstanding at the date of this Offer Memorandum.

This Offer Memorandum contains the information required by Article 5:76 of the Dutch Act on Financial Supervision (Wet op het financieel toezicht, the "Wft") in conjunction with Article 8, paragraph 1 of the Dutch Decree on public offers Wft (Besluit openbare biedingen Wft, the "Decree") in connection with the Offer.

Shareholders tendering their Shares under the Offer will be paid on the terms of, and subject to the conditions and restrictions contained in, this Offer Memorandum in consideration for each Share validly tendered (or defectively tendered, provided that such defect has been waived by the Offeror) and transferred (geleverd) an amount in cash of EUR 1.70 (one euro and seventy eurocents) cum dividend (the "Offer Price"). In the event any further (interim) cash or share dividend or other distribution (each, a "Distribution" and collectively, the "Distributions") on the Shares is declared by DPA between 1 March 2021 and the Settlement Date (as defined below) whereby the record date for entitlement to such Distribution is prior to the Settlement Date, the Offer Price will be decreased by the full amount of any such Distribution made by DPA in respect of each Share (before any applicable withholding tax).

The management board (de raad van bestuur) of DPA (the "Management Board") and the supervisory board (de raad van commissarissen) of DPA (the "Supervisory Board", and together with the Management Board, the "Boards") unanimously support and recommend the Offer to the Shareholders for acceptance.
