Offers can be submitted during the tender period from 3 July 2015 to 13 July 2015, 15.00 CET (the "Tender Period"), provided that the Tender Period will not be extended or the Invitation will not be withdrawn by the company. Creditors must be aware that credit institutions maintaining the custody account or a clearing system may apply shorter terms and that therefore the possibility to submit offers through credit institutions maintaining the custody account or a clearing systems may terminate before 13 July 2015, 15.00 CET.

The repurchase price amounts to 102% of the nominal value of the bonds plus interest. The result of the tender is expected to be published on 14 July 2015. The settlement day is expected to be 17 July 2015. The company has engaged Erste Group Bank AG and Raiffeisen Bank International AG as dealer manager and Raiffeisen Bank International AG as tender agent.

Creditors, which do not intend to submit an offer for the repurchase of the bonds, will continue to remain creditors of CROSS Industries AG.
