Pursuant to the provisions of article 226 of the Consolidated Text of the Securities Market Act, approved by the Legislative Royal Decree 4/2015, of 23 October, Grifols, S.A. ("Grifols") hereby informs about the following

 

INSIDE INFORMATION

 

In relation to the inside information note sent today to the CNMV by Brookfield Capital Partners (UK) Limited, Grifols announces that its Board of Directors will hold an extraordinary meeting this afternoon to analyse the information received. Subsequently, it will issue an opinion regarding Brookfield's communication. The directors who are in conflict of interest will not participate in the issuance of such opinion.

 

Grifols also announces that the Transaction Committee of the Board of Directors has duly considered Brookfield’s non-binding indicative valuation of €6.45Bn for the entire outstanding share capital of the Company (the aggregate of Class A and B shares), implying an indicative price of €10.50 per share for Class A shares, and has concluded that a potential offer at this valuation level significantly undervalues the Company’s fundamental prospects and its long-term potential. Accordingly, the Transaction Committee would not be in a position to recommend to the Board of Directors to support an offer at this valuation for the Company nor to recommend to the shareholders of the Company the acceptance of a potential offer at the indicated price. The Transaction Committee communicated this fact to Brookfield and has requested the call for the extraordinary meeting referred to above.

 

In Barcelona, on 19 November 2024.

 

Thomas Glanzmann

Chairman of the Board of Directors
