Technical change in Permira ownership structure

Dr. Martens plc ('the Company') makes this announcement in connection with the TR-1 announcements released today regarding the notification of major holdings by IngreGrsy Limited and IngreLux S.àr.l..

Permira V Fund has undergone a restructure of its holding of shares in Dr. Martens plc, whereby IngreGrsy Limited (a newly incorporated Guernsey company) has replaced IngreLux S.àr.l. (a Luxembourg entity) in the Permira Fund V structure and IngreLux S.àr.l has transferred its 38.46% shareholding in the Company to IngreGrsy Limited.  As a result, IngreGrsy Limited replaced IngreLux S.àr.l. as the Company's largest shareholder with effect from 11 June 2024. The Company, IngreLux S.àr.l. and IngreGrsy Limited also entered into a novation agreement in order for IngreGrsy Limited to replace IngreLux S.à r.l. in the relationship agreement with the Company.  The Permira V Fund ownership structure is otherwise unchanged and remains ultimately controlled by Permira V GP Limited and advised by Permira Advisers LLP.
