Fugro announces that, in connection with its Rights Issue (as defined below), it received subscriptions for 85,184,319 Offer Certificates (as defined below) through the valid exercise of Rights (as defined below) by eligible holders of such Rights. In combination with the subscriptions for 242,407 Offer Shares received in the Share Subscription Offering, this represents a take-up of 91.9% in the Rights Issue. The exercise period for the Rights (the “Exercise Period”) ended today, 10 December 2020, at 10:00 CET (and 12:00 CET for financial intermediaries).

Transferrable subscription rights (“Rights”) to subscribe for up to 92,960,719 new certificates (the “Offer Certificates”) representing ordinary shares in the capital of the Company (the “Ordinary Shares”) were offered in the rights offering (the “Rights Offering”), which, in combination with the Share Subscription Offering, is referred to as the “Rights Issue”.

Rump Offering

Today, 7,533,993 certificates representing Ordinary Shares consisting of (i) Offer Certificates that were issuable upon the exercise of Rights but that were not validly subscribed for during the Exercise Period, (ii) certificates representing Offer Shares not validly subscribed for during the Share Subscription Offering and (iii) certificates representing Offer Shares that Registered Shareholders could have subscribed for had they not been excluded from the Share Subscription Offering, together, the "Rump Certificates", will be offered for sale (the “Rump Offering”) by the Joint Global Coordinators (as defined below) on behalf of the Underwriters (as defined below) by way of private placements to institutional investors in the Netherlands and certain other eligible jurisdictions at a price at least equal to the issue price of EUR 2.12 (the “Issue Price”) for the Rights Issue, in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in an underwriting agreement between Fugro and the Underwriters (as defined below) dated 1 December 2020 (the “Underwriting Agreement”) and as set out in the prospectus for the Rights Offering dated 1 December 2020 (the “Prospectus”).

The Underwriters shall, subject to the satisfaction of conditions contained in, and on the terms of, the Underwriting Agreement, use their reasonable efforts to procure subscribers for the Rump Certificates. In accordance with the terms of, and subject to the conditions contained in the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriters have agreed to subscribe themselves for (i) any Offer Certificates validly subscribed for during the Exercise Period but not paid for, (ii) any Rump Certificates validly subscribed for in the Rump Offering but not paid for, and (iii) any Rump Certificates not validly subscribed for in the Rump Offering, pro rata to their respective underwriting commitments at the Issue Price.

The Rump Offering will commence today after close of business (10 December 2020, 17:40 CET) and will end no later than 9:00 CET on 11 December 2020.

If, upon completion of the Rump Offering the aggregate proceeds for the Rump Certificates offered and sold in the Rump Offering exceed the aggregate Issue Price for such Rump Certificates, such amount will constitute the "Excess Amount". Each holder of a Right that was not exercised at the end of the Exercise Period, each Registered Shareholder that did not validly participate in the Share Subscription Offering and each Registered Shareholder who could have subscribed for Offer Shares had they not been excluded from the Share Subscription Offering will be entitled to receive, except as noted below, a payment in cash in respect of such holder's unexercised Rights, unexercised non-transferable rights or entitlement, as applicable (the "Unexercised Rights Payment").

If the Excess Amount divided by the total number of unexercised rights in the Rights Issue is less than EUR 0.01, no Unexercised Rights Payment will be made to the holders of any unexercised Rights or unexercised non-transferable rights, as applicable, and instead, any such Excess Amount will be retained by the Company for its own benefit. The Company will announce whether Unexercised Rights Payments are available for payment to holders of unexercised Rights or unexercised non-transferable rights, as applicable, by means of a press release placed on the Company's website. Persons entitled to an Unexercised Rights Payment do not need to take action in order to receive such payment.

The Company, the Underwriters and ABN AMRO Bank N.V., in its capacity as subscription, listing and paying agent (the "Subscription, Listing and Paying Agent"), cannot guarantee that the Rump Offering will be successfully completed. None of the Company nor the Underwriters, the Subscription, Listing and Paying Agent, or any other person procuring purchasers for the Rump Certificates, will be responsible for any lack of Excess Amount arising from any placement of the Rump Certificates in the Rump Offering.

Allotment of Offer Certificates issued pursuant to the Rights Offering is expected to take place at 09:00 CET on 11 December 2020 at the latest. Issuance of, payment for and delivery of the Offer Certificates is expected to occur on 14 December 2020. Issuance of the Offer Shares is expected to occur on 14 December 2020.

Fugro expects that the Certificates to be issued in connection with the Rights Issue will be listed and admitted to trading on Euronext Amsterdam at 09:00 CET on or about 14 December 2020, barring unforeseen circumstances.

Barclays, ING and Rabobank (in cooperation with its partner Kepler Cheuvreux) are acting as Joint Global Coordinators and Joint Bookrunners (the “Joint Global Coordinators”), as well as ABN AMRO, BNP Paribas, Credit Suisse and HSBC, acting as Joint Bookrunners (altogether the “Underwriters”) for the Rights Issue.
