Capitalised terms not otherwise defined in this release have the meaning given to them in the Tender Offer Memorandum or in Boreo’s stock exchange release on 16 September 2026.

The Offer Period for the Tender Offer expired at 4.00 p.m. Finnish time on 23 September 2026. As at the expiry of the Offer Period, the aggregate nominal amount of the Notes validly tendered for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer was EUR 19,840,000.

The Company confirms that the New Issue Condition has been satisfied and, subject to the issuance agreement in respect of the new capital securities remaining in full force and effect on the Settlement Date (as defined below), the Company has decided to accept for purchase all such tenders of the Notes pursuant to the terms of the Tender Offer Memorandum.

The purchase price for the Notes is EUR 20,400 per EUR 20,000 in nominal amount of the Notes (in aggregate 102.00 per cent. of the nominal amount of the Notes). In addition, accrued and unpaid interest will be paid in respect of all Notes accepted for purchase. Settlement of the Tender Offer is expected to take place on 28 September 2026 (the ”Settlement Date”). All Notes purchased by the Company pursuant to the Tender Offer will be cancelled.

Clean-up call

On 16 September 2026, the Company announced its intention to redeem the Notes in full by exercising the clean-up call option set out in the terms and conditions of the Notes, if the aggregate outstanding nominal amount of the Notes following the Tender Offer is twenty-five (25) per cent. or less of the aggregate nominal amount issued. The conditions for exercising the clean-up call option have been fulfilled, subject to settlement of the Tender Offer occurring on the Settlement Date. The clean-up call would apply to all Notes then outstanding, in whole and not in part, at an amount equal to 100 per cent. of their nominal amount, together with accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. The Company intends to give a notice of redemption to the Holders and to the agent acting on their behalf in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Notes on or about the Settlement Date.

This release and the Tender Offer Memorandum contain important information which should be read carefully before any decision is made with respect to the Tender Offer. If any Holder is in any doubt as to the contents of this release or the Tender Offer Memorandum or the action it should take, it is recommended to seek its own financial and legal advice, including in respect of any tax consequences, immediately from its independent financial, tax or legal adviser. Any person whose Notes are held on its behalf by a broker, dealer, bank, custodian, trust company or other nominee must contact such entity if it wishes to tender such Notes pursuant to the Tender Offer.

Distribution Restrictions

General

The distribution of this release and the invitation to tender the outstanding Notes is prohibited by law in certain countries. The Tender Offer of the Notes is not made to the public either inside or outside of Finland. Persons resident outside of Finland may receive the Tender Offer only in compliance with applicable exemptions or restrictions. Persons into whose possession this release or the Tender Offer Memorandum may come are required to inform themselves about and comply with such restrictions. This release or the Tender Offer Memorandum may not be distributed or published in any country or jurisdiction if to do so would constitute a violation of the relevant laws of such jurisdiction or would require actions under the laws of a state or jurisdiction other than Finland, including (but not limited to) the United States, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, New Zealand, South Africa and Japan. The information contained herein or in the Tender Offer Memorandum shall not constitute an offer to sell or tender, or a solicitation of an offer to buy or sell the Notes to any persons in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale or tender would be unlawful. The Company’s, the Dealer Manager’s or the Tender Agent’s representatives assume no legal responsibility for such violations, regardless of whether the parties contemplating investing in or divesting the Notes are aware of these restrictions or not.

This release or the Tender Offer Memorandum does not constitute an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell Notes (and tenders of Notes in the Tender Offer will not be accepted from Holders) in any circumstances in which such offer or solicitation would be considered unlawful. In those jurisdictions where the securities, investor protection or other laws require the Tender Offer to be made by a licensed broker or dealer and the Dealer Manager or any of the Dealer Manager’s affiliates is such a licensed broker or dealer in any such jurisdiction, the Tender Offer shall be deemed to be made by the Dealer Manager or such affiliate, as the case may be, on behalf of the Company in such jurisdiction.

In addition to the representations referred to above and below in respect of the United States, each Holder participating in the Tender Offer will also be deemed to give certain representations in respect of the other jurisdictions referred to above and generally. Any tender of the Notes for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer from a Holder that is unable to make these representations will not be accepted. Each of the Company, the Dealer Manager and the Tender Agent reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to investigate, in relation to any tender of the Notes for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer, whether any such representation given by a Holder is correct and, if such investigation is undertaken and as a result the Company determines (for any reason) that such representation is not correct, such tender shall not be accepted.

United States

The Tender Offer is not being made, and will not be made, directly or indirectly in or into, and cannot be accepted, directly or indirectly, from, or by use of the mails of, or by any means or instrumentality of interstate or foreign commerce of or of any facilities of a national securities exchange of, the United States or to any U.S. Person (as defined in Regulation S of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) (each, a “U.S. Person”)). This includes, but is not limited to, facsimile transmission, electronic mail, telex, telephone, the internet and other forms of electronic communication. The Notes may not be tendered in the Tender Offer by any such use, means, instrumentality or facility from or within the United States or by persons located or resident in the United States or by, or by any person acting for the account or benefit of, a U.S. Person. Accordingly, copies of this release, the Tender Offer Memorandum and any other documents or materials relating to the Tender Offer are not being, and must not be, directly or indirectly mailed or otherwise sent, transmitted, distributed or forwarded (including, without limitation, by custodians, nominees, trustees or agents) in, into or from the United States or to any persons located or resident in the United States or to any U.S. Person and persons receiving this release or the Tender Offer Memorandum must not mail, send, transmit, distribute or forward it or any other documents or materials relating to the Tender Offer in, into or from the United States. Any person accepting the Tender Offer shall be deemed to represent to the Company, the Tender Agent and the Dealer Manager such person’s compliance with these restrictions. Any purported acceptance of Notes in the Tender Offer resulting directly or indirectly from a breach or violation of these restrictions will be invalid and any purported tender of Notes made by, or by any person acting for the account or benefit of, a U.S. Person or by a person located in the United States or any agent, fiduciary or other intermediary acting on a nondiscretionary basis for a principal giving instructions from within the United States will be invalid and will not be accepted.

Each Holder participating in the Tender Offer will represent that it is not a U.S. Person, it is not located in the United States and it is not participating in the Tender Offer from the United States, or it is acting on a non-discretionary basis for a principal located outside the United States that is not giving an order to participate in the Tender Offer from the United States and is not a U.S. Person.
