Details on the timetable of the simplified tender offer on North Atlantic Energies shares

Paris, FRANCE - January 30, 2026 - North Atlantic France SAS ("North Atlantic France") refers to its acquisition from ExxonMobil France Holding SAS ("ExxonMobil") of ExxonMobil's entire stake in North Atlantic Energies (formerly, Esso Société Anonyme Française SA) ("North Atlantic Energies"), representing 82.89% of North Atlantic Energies' share capital and voting rights.

In accordance with French securities law, North Atlantic France announced on November 28, 2025 that it would file a simplified tender offer (the "Offer") for the remaining North Atlantic Energies shares not already held by North Atlantic France, at a price of €28.93 per share, as well as its intention to implement a squeeze-out procedure if the conditions required are met.

It is reminded that the board of directors of North Atlantic Energies has appointed Ledouble SAS, represented by Ms. Agnès Piniot and Mr. Romain Delafont, as an independent expert to issue a fairness opinion on the financial terms of the Offer.

North Atlantic France indicates that it will file the Offer with the Autorité des marchés financiers (the "AMF") once the independent expert's work has been finalised, after the publication of the 2025 annual results. North Atlantic Energies indicates that this publication is scheduled for March 26, 2026. The filing is therefore expected to take place during the second quarter of 2026. The offer documentation will be submitted to the AMF for review, and the Offer will only open once the AMF has issued its compliance decision.
