European Healthcare Acquisition & Growth Company B.V. – Expiry and delisting of the Warrants on 17 November 2023
Munich, 10 November 2023
European Healthcare Acquisition & Growth Company B.V. (the "Company"), a Dutch operators-led special purpose acquisition company listed on Euronext Amsterdam, today announces that the class A warrants (the "Public Warrants") and the class B warrants (the "Founder Warrants" and together with the Public Warrants, the "Warrants") will expire worthless on the original business combination deadline, being 17 November 2023.
On 4 October 2023, the board of the Company proposed that in the context of the proposed extension of the business combination deadline as announced in the Company's press release of 20 September 2023 and as further set out in the agenda and explanatory notes of the EGM to be held on 15 November 2023, the holders of the Warrants amend the terms and conditions of the Warrants (the "Warrant T&C") to have all Warrants expire worthless on the original business combination deadline, being 17 November 2023, as the Warrants have proved to impede the Company's chances of successfully executing a business combination.
69% of the outstanding Warrants voted in favour of the amendment of the Warrant T&C by the expiry of the voting deadline of 9 November 2023 at 17:30 CET. The Warrant T&C provide that the terms of the Warrants may be amended with the vote or written consent of the holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding Warrants. Therefore the Warrants will expire on the original business combination deadline, being 17 November 2023.
Delisting of the Warrants shall occur on 17 November 2023 and, accordingly, the last trading day of the Warrants shall be 16 November 2023.
Following expiry of the Warrants, the share capital and Warrants of the Company are as follows:
Public Shares outstanding | 1,238,962 |
Public Shares held in treasury | 168,761,038 |
Class B ordinary shares outstanding | 6,666,666 |
Redeemable class A warrants | nil |
Class B warrants | nil |

The Securities are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any Retail Investor in the EEA. For these purposes, a "Retail Investor" means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II"); (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 January 2016 on insurance distribution, as amended, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II.

Solely for the purpose of the product governance requirements contained within MiFID II, (ii) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 of 7 April 2016 supplementing MiFID II and (iii) local implementing measures (together, the "MiFID II Requirements"), and disclaiming any and all liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the MiFID II Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Public Shares and Public Warrants have been subject to a product approval process. As a result, it has been determined that (i) the Public Shares are (a) compatible with an end target market of Retail Investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II, and (b) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels permitted by MiFID II and (ii) the Public Warrants are (a) compatible with an end target market of investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II, and (b) eligible for distribution to professional clients and eligible counterparties through all distribution channels permitted by MiFID II.
