02
.

Who is Kroll and what is an independent report?

Kroll is a global independent provider specialising in valuation services.

An independent valuation report is a technical and professional document prepared by an external expert independent from the entity, which determines the fair economic value of a company.

Bondalti has engaged Kroll to carry out an objective and independent valuation of Ercros to enable Bondalti to offer Ercros shareholders a price consistent with such valuation. In relation to this report, it should be noted that (i) it has not been reviewed by the CNMV, (ii) Kroll has not had access to Ercros' management team or to information that is not in the public domain, and (iii) this report has not been prepared to comply with any aspect of Royal Decree 1066/2007 on Takeover Bids.

05
.
How can I accept the Offer?

The Offer may be accepted between 12 February and 13 March 2026, inclusive.

Ercros shareholders who wish to accept the Offer must contact the entity where their shares are deposited and submit their declaration of acceptance in writing, either in person, by electronic means or by any other means accepted by the depositary entities.

06
.
What happens if the condition of a minimum acceptance of more than 50% of the voting rights is not met?

The Offer will lapse and none of the shares for which acceptance of the Offer has been declared will be acquired, as Bondalti will not waive the minimum acceptance condition. Shareholders who have accepted the Offer will not have to take any further action; the shares will remain in their securities accounts.

07
.
Can I partially accept the offer and sell only part of my shares?

Yes, this is possible. However, the success of the Offer is subject to a minimum acceptance of more than 50% of Ercros' effective voting rights. If this percentage is not reached, the Offer will lapse and none of the shares for which acceptance of the Offer has been declared will be acquired.

08
.
Will Ercros continue to be listed on the stock exchange?

If the requirements set out in Article 116 of the Spanish Securities Market Law and Article 47 of Royal Decree 1066/2007 are met, the Offeror will exercise its right to require the compulsory sale of Ercros shares (squeeze-out). The settlement of the transaction resulting from the exercise of such squeeze-out right will lead to the delisting of Ercros shares from the Spanish Stock Exchanges in accordance with Articles 47 and 48 of Royal Decree 1066/2007 and related regulations.

If the Offer is settled but the requirements for a squeeze-out are not met, Bondalti will promote a delisting tender offer for the shares of Ercros in accordance with Article 65 of the Spanish Securities Market Law (LMVSI), at a price that complies with paragraphs 5 and 6 of Article 10 of Royal Decree 1066/2007, provided that the price of such delisting offer is not higher than the Offer price.

09
.
What happens if I do not accept the Offer?

Shareholders who decide not to accept the Offer will retain their Ercros shares and will not receive any payment.

In this takeover bid, delisting may only occur if the squeeze-out thresholds are reached, in which case the Offeror will acquire the shares held by the remaining Ercros shareholders at the Offer price.

10
.
When will I receive the money after accepting the Offer?

If the result of the Offer is positive – achieving a minimum acceptance of more than 50% of the effective voting rights of Ercros – the Offer will be settled and shareholders will receive the price of the shares for which they have accepted the Offer within approximately two business days following the date on which the positive result of the Offer is published.

Receipt of the price depends on the stock market settlement mechanism, which is regulated and does not depend on Bondalti.

11
.
When is the deadline for accepting the Offer?

The Offer may be accepted between 12 February and 13 March 2026, inclusive.

12
.
When will the result of the Offer be known?

Within a period not exceeding 7 business days from the end of the acceptance period.

13
.
Do I have to pay any commission to accept the Offer?

The Offer may be accepted free of charge through Banco Santander, S.A.

Shareholders who accept the Offer through a bank other than Banco Santander should inform themselves of any commissions or additional costs that may be charged and will be responsible for paying them.

14

What are the tax consequences of accepting the Offer and receiving payment in cash?

Each shareholder should consult their tax adviser about the individual consequences of transferring their shares in connection with the Offer.
