<li>So far, about 49.8% of disinterested shares from Irrevocable Undertakings/Non-binding Letters of Support would accept the Share Offer. Success is within reach based on a “good enough” privatization price. </li>
<li>The Share Alternative is mainly aimed at investors who are hoping for the future re-listing of L'Occitane in the overseas markets - They can still get a vantage point.</li>
<li>However, re-listing seems still distant/uncertain. The value of Rollover Shares in the future remains uncertain. Investors would face risks if they choose the Share Alternative. The Cash Alternative is preferred.</li>
