Exercise of the over-allotment option and end of the stabilisation period in relation to the initial public offering

The Selling Shareholder, Post Invest Europe S.à.r.l., had granted the underwriting banks an option to purchase up to 8,400,000 additional shares at the IPO price of EUR 14.50, to cover over-allotments or short positions, which was exercisable for a period of 30 calendar days as from the first day of trading of the shares on Euronext Brussels (i.e. 21 June 2013).

The underwriting banks have chosen to exercise the over-allotment option for 3,750,180 shares, raising additional gross proceeds for the Selling Shareholder of EUR 54,377,610.

As a result, the total number of shares sold by the Selling Shareholder in the IPO finally amounts to 59,750,180, representing total gross proceeds of EUR 866,377,610. The Selling Shareholder maintains a stake of 19.67% in bpost. The Belgian State (directly and through the SFPI/FPIM) has not sold shares as part of the IPO and maintains a stake of 50.01%. Each of bpost, the Selling Shareholder, the Belgian State and the SFPI/FPIM have agreed to lock-up arrangements of 180 days after the first day of trading of the shares.

The stabilisation period commenced on 21 June 2013 and ended on 19 July 2013. Details of the stabilisation activity carried out by J.P. Morgan Securities plc or its affiliates as stabilisation manager on behalf of the underwriting banks are available in appendix A.
