Statement re Further Investment in Treatt plc
Döhler Group SE's announcement on October 17, 2025, clarifies their position regarding a potential offer for Treatt plc. Döhler had previously confirmed on September 30, 2025, that they did not intend to make an offer and were therefore bound by Rule 2.8 of the Takeover Code. While a reservation existed allowing Döhler to set aside this statement with Treatt's Board consent if Natara's Firm Offer lapsed, Döhler's subsequent acquisition of Treatt shares now prevents them from relying on this consent under Note 2(c) of Rule 2.8. This acquisition restricts Döhler's ability to set aside the Rule 2.8 restrictions. Disclaimer*
