Independent Expert Opinion and Board Approval
Crowe HAF was appointed as an independent expert on March 14, 2025 by the Board of Directors of Vinpai, upon the recommendation of its ad hoc committee, to review the fairness of the financial terms of the OPAS. On April 27, 2026, Crowe HAF issued its report, concluding as follows:
"In summary, the Offer provides the opportunity to the Company's shareholders to obtain immediate liquidity of its participation at a price equal to price paid in the Block Acquisition, and which includes premiums over the evaluation methods implemented by us. On the basis of all these factors, it is our opinion that the terms of the Simplified Tender Offer, optional offer for minority shareholders and proposing a price of EUR 3.60 per Vinpai share, are fair from a financial standpoint for the minority shareholders of Vinpai."
Based on the conclusions of the fairness opinion issued by Crowe HAF and the recommendation of the ad hoc committee, Vinpai's Board of Directors unanimously issued a reasoned favorable opinion on the OPAS. The independent expert's report is reproduced in full in the appendix to the company's response document.
