Notification of Stabilization Measures in accordance with Article 5 (4) and (6) of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council on market abuse ('Market Abuse Regulation') and repealing Directive 2003/6/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Commission Directives 2003/124/EC, 2003/125/EC and 2004/72/EC and in accordance with Article 6 (1) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 of 8 March 2016. Joh. Berenberg, Gossler & Co. KG ('Berenberg' or the 'Stabilization Manager'), in connection with the initial public offering of Shop Apotheke Europe N.V., Venlo, the Netherlands (the 'Company'), acts as Stabilization Manager and will have the right, in the time period beginning and including 13 Oktober 2016 through and including 12 November 2016 (the 'Stabilization Period'), with regard to the Company's shares, which are expected to be admitted to trading on the regulated market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Prime Standard) (International Securities Identification Number (ISIN: NL0012044747; German Securities Code (WKN): A2AR94) on 13 October 2016, in the scope admissible under Article 5 (4) of the Market Abuse Regulation, to make Over-Allotments or carry out Stabilization Measures on behalf and for the account of individual underwriters (the 'Stabilization Measures'). Stabilization Measures are intended to provide support for the stock exchange or market price of the Company's securities during the Stabilization Period if the securities come under selling pressure, thus alleviating sales pressure generated by short-term investors and maintaining an orderly market in those securities. Stabilization Measures may cause the stock exchange or market price of the shares to be higher than it would otherwise have been. In addition, the stock exchange or market price may temporarily be at a level that is not sustainable. In addition, stabilization activities may give false or misleading signals regarding the supply of the securities. The Stabilization Manager may carry out Stabilization Measures at the regulated market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. The Stabilization Manager is not required to carry out Stabilization Measures. Therefore, no assurance can be provided that Stabilization Measures will be carried out. As a result, Stabilization Measures may not necessarily be carried out and any Stabilization Measures may cease at any time without advance notice. In any Stabilization Measures that may be carried out, and to the extent permitted by law, up to 535,714 additional shares may be alloted to investors as part of the offering in addition to the initial offer of shares in the Company (the 'Over-Allotment'). In connection with a potential Over-Allotment, the Stabilization Manager, acting on behalf and for the account of the underwriters, was provided with up to 535,714 shares from the holdings of the selling shareholders by way of a securities loan granted free of charge, and this number of shares amounts up to 15% of the shares to be issued by the Company pursuant to the offering capital increase. In this context, with the sole purpose of covering potential Over- Allotments, the selling shareholders have granted the Stabilization Manager on behalf and for the account of the underwriters an option to acquire up to 535,714 Over-Allotment Shares from the holdings of the selling shareholders (the 'Over-Allotment Shares') at the offer price less agreed commissions, thus satisfying the retransfer obligation under the securities loan (the 'Greenshoe Option'). The Stabilization Manager may exercise the Greenshoe Option on behalf and for the account of the underwriters. The Greenshoe Option will expire 30 calendar days after stock exchange trading in the shares commences and may only be exercised to the extent shares have been placed by way of Over-Allotment. During the Stabilization Period, the Stabilization Manager ensures adequate public disclosure of the details of any Stabilization Measures by the end of the seventh day of trading following the date on which Stabilization Measures were carried out. Within one week of the end of the Stabilization Period, adequate public disclosure of the following information will be made: whether or not Stabilization Measures were carried out; the dates on which any price Stabilization Measures started and ended; the date on which Stabilization Measures last occurred; the price range within which Stabilization Measures were carried out (for each date of a Stabilization Measure); and the trading venues on which Stabilization Measures (if any) were carried out.
