Threshold Crossing at Worldline by UBS Group AG

On September 1, 2025, UBS Group AG, a company incorporated under Swiss law, declared that it had crossed the threshold of 5% of Worldline's share capital. This event took place on August 27, 2025, through companies controlled by UBS. UBS currently holds 14,760,662 Worldline shares, representing 5.20% of the share capital and 4.49% of the voting rights.

This crossing is the result of an off-market acquisition. Through various financial contracts, UBS indirectly controls an additional 8,568,406 shares. These contracts include the "right of use over shares" and the "long call option," demonstrating UBS's strategic diversity in its acquisitions.

Finally, 42,989 shares are held through contracts linked to inverse convertible bonds. This strategic package highlights UBS's growing influence within Worldline.
