TUI AG

Preliminary subscription quota is approximately 90.9%

18 April 2023

Further to the announcement on 24 March 2023, TUI AG (the “Company”) today announces the preliminary results of the Subscription Offer.

On the basis of currently available information the Company has received acceptances in respect of 298,928,137 New Shares, representing approx. 90.9% of the total number of New Shares to be issued pursuant to the Offering.

The New Shares not subscribed for will be offered to qualified institutional investors starting immediately by means of private placements in accordance with applicable securities legislation (the “Rump Placement”).

Settlement and start of trading of the New Shares in the existing lines of TUI (including depository interests on the main market of the London Stock Exchange) is expected to take place on 24 April 2023.

There are no ordinary shares held in treasury. The execution of the capital increase is expected to be registered by the competent commercial registries in Hanover and Berlin/Charlottenburg on 19 April 2023. Therefore, the Company hereby confirms that the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 507,431,033 after the registration of the capital increase with the competent commercial registers. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, Barclays Bank Ireland PLC, BofA Securities Europe SA, Citigroup Global Markets Europe AG, COMMERZBANK Aktiengesellschaft, Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft and UniCredit Bank AG will offer the New Shares not subscribed for in the Subscription Offer (being the “Rump Shares”) in the Rump Placement.

A further announcement with the final take-up of the Subscription Offer and  the results of the Rump Placement will be made in due course.

A prospectus (the “German Prospectus”) setting out the full details of the Offering, including a full timetable of key dates, has been approved by the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht, “BaFin”) on 24 March 2023. For the purposes of the public offering in the United Kingdom and the UK Admission (as defined below), a separate prospectus (the “UK Prospectus” and together with the German Prospectus, the “Prospectuses”) has been approved by the FCA on the same day. Both Prospectuses are available on the Company’s website (https://www.tuigroup.com/en-en/investors/capital-increase-march-2023). A copy of the German Prospectus is also available on the website of BaFin (www.bafin.de) and the website of the European Securities And Markets Authority (“ESMA”) (https://registers.esma.europa.eu/publication/), and a copy of the UK Prospectus was submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and is available for inspection at (https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism). The information in this announcement should be read in conjunction with both Prospectuses.

All capitalised terms used but not otherwise defined in this announcement including the important notices below have the meaning set out in the Prospectuses.

Information to Distributors

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended (“MiFID II”); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the “MiFID II Product Governance Requirements”), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any “manufacturer” (for the purposes of the Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Securities the subject of the Offering have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that such Securities are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II (the “Target Market Assessment”). Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: (i) the price of the Securities may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; (ii) the Securities offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and (iii) an investment in the Securities is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Offering. Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, the Banks will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the Securities. Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own Target Market Assessment in respect of the Securities and determining appropriate distribution channels.
