The 11,314,417 Shares held by the Offeror on 7 May 2012, together with the tendered Shares represent a total of 44,188,918 Shares (excluding the 203,123 Treasury Shares held by Wavin), representing approximately 87.02% of the total issued share capital of Wavin and approximately 87.37% of the total issued and outstanding share capital of Wavin. In the aggregate, the number of Shares tendered under the Offer, the number of Shares held by the Offeror and the Treasury Shares represent approximately 87.42% of the total issued share capital of Wavin, therefore exceeding the acceptance threshold of 80% that was included in the Offer Conditions.

Settlement
With reference to the Offer Memorandum, holders of Shares (the Shareholders) who tendered their Shares under the Offer shall receive an amount in cash of EUR 10.50 cum dividend (the Offer Price) for each Share validly tendered (or defectively tendered provided that such defect has been waived by the Offeror) and delivered (geleverd) under the terms and subject to the conditions and restrictions of the Offer.

Payment of the Offer Price per Share shall occur on 11 May 2012 (the Settlement Date).

Post Acceptance Period
The Offeror grants the Shareholders who have not yet tendered their Shares under the Offer the opportunity to tender their Shares in a post acceptance period (na-aanmeldingstermijn) commencing at 09:00 hours CET on 9 May 2012 and expiring at 17:30 hours CET on 23 May 2012 (the Post Acceptance Period). Shareholders can tender their Shares in the same manner and subject to the same terms, conditions and restrictions as described in the Offer Memorandum all in accordance with section 17 of the Decree on Public Takeover Bids.

Shares tendered during the Post Acceptance Period will immediately be accepted. Shareholders who tender their Shares during the Post Acceptance Period shall not have the right to withdraw such tendered Shares. The Offeror shall arrange for a payment for the Shares that are validly tendered (or defectively tendered provided that such defect has been waived by the Offeror) and delivered (geleverd) in the Post Acceptance Period as soon as possible and shall use reasonable endeavours to arrange that, in respect of Shares that are so tendered and delivered to Rabobank International, as Settlement Agent in respect of the Offer, before 17:30 hours CET on any day that NYSE Euronext Amsterdam is open for trading (a Trading Day) during the Post Acceptance Period, the payment of EUR 10.50 cum dividend per Share shall be made on the third Trading Day after the date on which the relevant tender and delivery were made.



Further consequences of the Offer



The remaining Shareholders who do not wish to tender their Shares in the Post Acceptance Period should carefully review Section 6.8 of the Offer Memorandum, which describes certain risks that will exist in connection with their continued shareholding in Wavin.



The purchase of Shares by the Offeror pursuant to the Offer, among other things, will reduce the number of Shareholders and the number of Shares that might otherwise trade publicly and thus adversely affect the liquidity and market value of the Shares not tendered.



As soon as legally possible and practicable, the Offeror intends to terminate the listing of the Shares on NYSE Euronext Amsterdam. This may further adversely affect the liquidity and market value of any listed Shares not tendered.



Depending on the number of Shares obtained by the Offeror under the Offer (including during the Post Acceptance Period), the Offeror intends to initiate a squeeze-out procedure in order to acquire all Shares held by the minority shareholders (subject to the Offeror obtaining at least 95% of the Shares), or to take other steps to terminate the listing and/or acquire Shares that were not tendered under the Offer, including effecting a legal merger and/or entering into an asset sale transaction or any other legal measure as set out in the Offer Memorandum.
