These forward looking statements are based Global Blue's current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on Global Blue. There can be no assurance that the future developments affecting Global Blue will be those that we have anticipated.

In addition, these non-IFRS financial measures may differ from non-IFRS financial measures with comparable names used by other companies.

On 28th August 2020, upon business combination with FPAC, Global Blue

refinanced its senior debt (€630 M) and revolving credit facility (€100M, of which € 99M was drawn as of September 30, 2020). Both have a maturity date of August 28, 2025.

Supplemental Liquidity Facility of $75M

In connection with the closing of the transaction, pre-transaction shareholders have agreed to grant Global Blue a $75M (c.€63M) Supplemental Liquidity Facility. This facility is available for 18-months and has a two-year maturity once drawn.

Covenant conditions

  • No covenant test until September 30, 2021.
  • Semi-annualtest on covenant starting on September 30, 2021 based on a leverage ratio test not to exceed 5.0x on September 30, 2021, step down progressively to 3.5x by maturity.
  • Supplemental Liquidity Facility can be included in the EBITDA cure mechanism.
  • The next 24 months savings (up to 25% of LTM EBITDA),
    as a result of restructuring can also be added to the EBITDA (Pro forma adjustment).
  • Based on management's current projections, the Company is anticipating that it could be in breach of this covenant when required to report for the period ended September 30, 2021 and plans to engage in discussions with lenders in the near term.

UK Tax Free Shopping Scheme Abolition

On Sept. 11th, the UK Government announced the decision to abolish the VAT Export Scheme from January 1st 2021, which allowed international visitors to the UK to reclaim the VAT paid on goods purchased, but not consumed, in the UK.

The UK Government justified the decision on the following basis, which are disputed by Global Blue and the industry:

POLITICAL

FINANCIAL

No extension of Tax-Free Shopping

"Saving" of £500M of VAT per annum

scheme to EU27 in the context of

refunded to non-EU shoppers.

Brexit negotiation.

No VAT to be refunded to EU citizens

(if extension of the scheme to EU27).

  • Removal of an implicit subsidy to London businesses in the context of the "levelling up" policy.

OPERATIONAL

  • Inability of Customs to manage additional Tax Free volume coming from EU shoppers (as, unlike other countries, the UK has not digitalized its paper-based customs system).

unlike other countries, the UK has not digitalized its paper-based customs system)

DESPITE ACTIVE LOBBYING FROM GLOBAL BLUE AND THE INDUSTRY, TAX FREE SHOPPING SCHEME

WILL MOST LIKELY BE ABOLISHED BY DECEMBER 31st 2020

DIRECT LOSS OF REVENUE FOLLOWING THE LIKELY ABOLITION OF UK TAX FREE SHOPPING SCHEME

FY2019/20A UK TFS Revenue:

€49M

(12% of Global Blue Revenue of FY2019/20A)

MITIGATING FACTOR #1

International Shoppers are highly mobile and price sensitive:

MITIGATION FACTOR #2

  • From January 1st 2021, UK residents will be able to shop Tax Free in EU 27.
  • Potential additional revenue: +~4% of revenue FY2019/20A(2) .

RECOVERY SCENARIO

Global Blue Consumer Surveys show that 66% of International Shoppers have expressed a strong appetite to travel again(1) in the coming months. For Elite and Frequent shoppers, the percentage increases to 75% for Chinese and 99% for Russians.

The recent vaccine announcements by major pharmaceutical companies allows us to envisage a gradual return to normal/pre-COVID levels based on a 5 PHASES SCENARIO.

As a result of the Savings Program implemented in H1 2020/21, a recovery to 2019 revenue level would imply AN IMPROVEMENT OF 800 BPS OF ADJUSTED EBITDA MARGIN (50% versus 42%).

(1) Appetite to travel is contingent on open borders and no quarantine
