VAM Investments SPAC B.V. announces the preliminary results of its tender offer buyback and the extension of the acceptance period to 12 January 2024 at 13:30 CET

Milan, 22 December 2023

Today, VAM Investments SPAC B.V. (the "Company"), a special purpose acquisition company listed on Euronext Amsterdam, announces that so far 3,554,118 Ordinary Shares (as defined below) (being 88.0% of the currently outstanding Ordinary Shares) have been tendered for repurchase by the Company under the Tender Offer Buyback (as defined below) and that it has decided to extend the acceptance period for participation in the Tender Offer Buyback.

On 5 December 2022, the Company announced the launch of a repurchase procedure allowing holders of ordinary shares in its capital ("Ordinary Shares", and such holders of Ordinary Shares, the "Ordinary Shareholders") to, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Company's shareholder circular (the "Circular"), tender some or all of their Ordinary Shares for repurchase in consideration for a repurchase price of EUR 10.357 per Ordinary Share (the "Repurchase Price") (the "Tender Offer Buyback"). As further set out in the Circular, all or part of the Repurchase Price may be subject to Italian withholding tax to be withheld by the Company and due by the Ordinary Shareholder exercising its right to sell its Ordinary Shares to the Company (a "Redeeming Shareholder").

At 13:30 CET this afternoon, the Company was informed that 3,554,118 Ordinary Shares had been tendered for repurchase by the Company under the Tender Offer Buyback, representing 88.0% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares on the date hereof. Because the number of tendered Ordinary Shares communicated to the Company does not constitute all outstanding Ordinary Shares, the Company has decided to extend the acceptance period for participation in the Tender Offer Buyback. Therefore, Ordinary Shareholders may:

  1. tender their Ordinary Shares for repurchase under the Tender Offer Buyback; and
  2. delivery duly completed applicable tax form(s) as set out in the Circular1,
  • It is noted that completion of the applicable Tax Form(s) is not a condition to participation in the Tender Offer Buyback. See "The Tender Offer Buyback and Subsequent Steps - The Tender Offer Buyback - Taxation" and "The Tender Offer Buyback and Subsequent Steps - The Tender Offer Buyback - Settlement of the Tender Offer Buyback and the Tax Refund (if applicable)" of the Circular for the implications of a failure to properly complete such tax form(s).

until 13:30 CET on 12 January 2024 (the "Extended Acceptance Period"). The Company may unilaterally decide to terminate the Extended Acceptance Period at any time and will in any event do so if all issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares have been tendered for repurchase under the Tender Offer Buyback. Such termination will be notified by way of a press release published on the Company's website (www.vaminvestments-spac.com).
