* As a percentage of the nominal amount of the relevant Notes.

Rationale for the Offers and the Proposals

On 6 April 2021, Atlas UK Bidco Limited, a newly incorporated entity that is indirectly controlled by Allied Universal Topco LLC (Allied Universal), announced that its recommended cash offer for the Company had become unconditional in all respects.

The Company understands that Allied Universal wishes to streamline its capital structure to provide greater flexibility going forward. As such the Company is making the Offers and the Proposals with a view to achieving this goal. In addition, should the Offers be accepted and the Proposals passed, this will allow the Company to apply to S&P Global Ratings to withdraw the ratings of the Company and the Notes.

The Offers for the Notes are therefore structured on an any-and-all basis in order to give all holders of Notes the opportunity to exit such Notes at a premium to market level prevailing at the time of launch.

The Company understands that Allied Universal intends to use the amounts borrowed by it under various recent financing arrangements it has put in place, together with cash on hand and certain equity contributions, to fund the Offers and redemption of the Notes should the Extraordinary Resolutions be passed.

Notes purchased in the Offers are expected to be cancelled.

Following confirmation by Allied that its recommended cash offer for the Company had become unconditional on 6 April 2021, a Change of Control (as defined in the terms and conditions of the Notes) occurred under the terms and conditions of each series of Notes. On 22 April 2021, S&P Global Ratings announced that it had downgraded the Company's credit rating, and the Company's senior unsecured debt rating (in respect of the Notes), in each case, from BBB- to B.

On 26 April 2021 the Company on behalf of the Issuer notified holders of each series of Notes that, pursuant to Condition 5.4(f) in relation to each series of Notes, a Step Up Rating Change had occurred. As a result, from and including the first Interest Payment Date following the date of a Step Up Rating Change the Rate of Interest payable on the Notes, for so long as they remain outstanding, will be increased by the relevant Step Up Margin. Such Interest Payment Date is, 9 January 2022 in respect of the €500,000,000 1.50 per cent. Notes due 2023, 2 June 2021 in respect of the €500,000,000 1.50 per cent. Notes due 2024 and 24 May 2021 in respect of the €550,000,000 1.875 per cent. Notes due 2025.

Should the Offers and the Proposals be unsuccessful such that any Notes remain outstanding, a Put Event (as defined in the terms and conditions of the Notes) is likely to occur under the terms and conditions of each series of Notes. If a Put Event occurs, holders of the Notes have the option to require the Issuer to redeem or at the Issuer’s option to purchase (or procure the purchase) of their Notes on the Put Date at par plus accrued interest to such date. It is expected that the Put Event will arise on 4 August 2021 (being the date that falls 120 days following the date of the change of control and assuming the Company's rating does not revert to investment grade during this period, as more fully described in the term and conditions of the Notes). Following the occurrence of a Put Event, the Issuer would be required to give notice to holders of the Notes that a Put Event has occurred and holders wishing to exercise their put right must do so within a period of 45 days following such notice. Should holders elect to exercise their put right, they would be paid par on the relevant redemption date, plus accrued interest to such date.

For the avoidance of doubt, the acquisition by Allied Universal of the Company does not give rise to an event of default under the Notes.

Details of the Offers

The Issuer will pay, on the Settlement Date, for the Notes of each Series accepted by it for purchase pursuant to the relevant Offer, a cash purchase price as specified in the table above (in each case the Purchase Price and together the Purchase Prices).

The Issuer will also pay, on the Settlement Date, an Accrued Interest Payment in respect of those Notes accepted for purchase pursuant to the relevant Offer(s).

In order to participate in an Offer, Noteholders must validly tender their Notes for purchase by delivering, or arranging to have delivered on their behalf, a valid Tender Instruction that is received by the Tender and Information Agent by 9.00 a.m. (London time) on 18 June 2021 (the Expiration Deadline).

Each Noteholder that validly tenders its Notes by delivering, or arranging to have delivered on its behalf, a valid Tender Instruction that is received by the Tender and Information Agent by 10.00 p.m. (London time) on 3 June 2021 (the Early Tender Deadline) (and does not subsequently revoke such tender in the limited circumstances in which such revocation is permitted, as described in the Tender Offer Memorandum), will also receive the early tender payment for the relevant Series set out in the table below (in respect of each Series, the Early Tender Payment) in addition to the relevant Purchase Price and Accrued Interest Payment, all as further described in the Tender Offer Memorandum. The relevant Purchase Price and Early Tender Payment in respect of each Series are referred to in this announcement as, in respect of such Series, the Total Early Tender Consideration.

Notes	Early Tender Payment (expressed as a percentage of the nominal amount of the relevant Notes)
€500,000,000 1.50 per cent. Notes due 2023 (ISIN: XS1515216650)	2.00 per cent.
€500,000,000 1.50 per cent. Notes due 2024 (ISIN: XS1619992883)	3.00 per cent.
€550,000,000 1.875 per cent. Notes due 2025 (ISIN: XS1824462896)	4.00 per cent.

The Issuer currently intends to only accept valid tenders of Notes pursuant to any Offer if the Extraordinary Resolutions (as described below) for all three Series are passed, although the Issuer reserves the right (in its sole discretion) to accept valid tenders of Notes of a Series in the circumstances where the Extraordinary Resolution(s) for one or more Series is (or are) not passed, or to accept valid tenders of Notes of one or more Series for purchase but not the other Series and may make any such decision for any reason.

If the Issuer decides to accept valid tenders of Notes pursuant to one or more of the Offers, the Issuer will accept for purchase all of the Notes of each Series that are the subject of such Offer(s) that are validly tendered and there will be no scaling of any tenders of Notes of such Series for purchase.

Details of the Proposals

The Issuer is also separately inviting the holders of each Series to approve certain modifications to the relevant Conditions to provide for the Issuer to redeem (the Issuer Early Redemption) all, but not some only, of the Notes of such Series that remain outstanding (if any) on completion of the relevant Offer, at an early redemption amount (in respect of each Series, the Early Redemption Amount) set out in the table below plus Accrued Interest. If the Proposal for any Series is implemented, such Series shall be automatically redeemed without any further action being required to be taken by the Issuer, the Company or the holder of the relevant Notes on the date (in respect of each Series, the Early Redemption Date) specified in the relevant Supplemental Trust Deed, expected to be 22 June 2021 (assuming no adjournment is needed for the relevant Meeting(s) (as defined below)).

Notes	Early Redemption Amount (expressed as a percentage of the nominal amount of the relevant Notes)
€500,000,000 1.50 per cent. Notes due 2023 (ISIN: XS1515216650)	100.125 per cent.
€500,000,000 1.50 per cent. Notes due 2024 (ISIN: XS1619992883)	100.375 per cent.
€550,000,000 1.875 per cent. Notes due 2025 (ISIN: XS1824462896)	100.50 per cent.

Notice (the Notice) of separate meetings (together the Meetings) of the Noteholders to be held (via teleconference) on 18 June 2021, and at the times specified in the Notice, has been published on or around the date of this announcement in accordance with the Trust Deed by delivery to the Clearing Systems for communication to Direct Participants.

At each Meeting, the Noteholders of the relevant Series will be asked to consider and, if thought fit, pass an extraordinary resolution as set out in the Notice (each an Extraordinary Resolution), which will provide, among other things, for the Trustee to be authorised, directed and requested to concur in and execute the Supplemental Trust Deed in respect of the relevant Series to effect the necessary modifications pursuant to such Extraordinary Resolution, which will implement the relevant Proposal.

If passed, an Extraordinary Resolution shall be binding on all Noteholders of the relevant Series, whether present or not at the relevant Meeting and whether or not voting. The implementation of the Extraordinary Resolution in respect of any Series, if passed, is conditional on the acceptance for purchase by the Issuer of the Notes of the relevant Series that have been validly tendered in the Offer applicable to such Series.

Any Noteholder who does not wish, or is not able, to tender its Notes for purchase pursuant to the relevant Offer may be eligible, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, to receive the early consent fee for the relevant Series set out in the table below (in respect of each Series, the Early Consent Fee). In order to be eligible for the relevant Early Consent Fee, Noteholders must deliver, or arrange to have delivered on their behalf, a valid Voting Only Instruction in favour of the relevant Proposal that is received by the Tender and Information Agent by the Early Tender Deadline (and which is not subsequently revoked (in the limited circumstances in which such revocation is permitted)). Any Noteholder who submits a valid Voting Only Instruction against the relevant Proposal will not be eligible for the relevant Early Consent Fee, irrespective of whether such Voting Only Instruction is received by the Tender and Information Agent by the Early Tender Deadline. For the avoidance of doubt, any Noteholder who has submitted a valid Voting Only Instruction in favour of the relevant Proposal by the Early Tender Deadline and is eligible for the relevant Early Consent Fee will not be eligible for the relevant Purchase Price, Accrued Interest Payment or Early Tender Payment pursuant to the relevant Offer.

Notes	Early Consent Fee (expressed as a percentage of the nominal amount of the relevant Notes)
€500,000,000 1.50 per cent. Notes due 2023 (ISIN: XS1515216650)	2.00 per cent.
€500,000,000 1.50 per cent. Notes due 2024 (ISIN: XS1619992883)	3.00 per cent.
€550,000,000 1.875 per cent. Notes due 2025 (ISIN: XS1824462896)	4.00 per cent.

Where payable, the relevant Early Consent Fee will be paid by the Issuer to relevant Noteholders on the Settlement Date in the same manner as the payment of the relevant Purchase Price is made to eligible Noteholders (subject to the right of the Issuer to amend such date of payment to follow any adjourned Meeting for the relevant Series, if required, and otherwise as set out in the Tender Offer Memorandum).

By either (i) submitting a Tender Instruction in respect of the relevant Offer or (ii) submitting a Voting Only Instruction in respect of the relevant Proposal, that in either case is received by the Tender and Information Agent by 5.00 p.m. (London time) on 15 June 2021 (the Voting Deadline), Noteholders will automatically instruct the Agent to appoint one or more representatives of the Tender and Information Agent as their proxy to vote (a) in the case of Tender Instructions, in favour of, or (b) in the case of Voting Only Instructions, in favour of or against (as specified in the relevant Voting Only Instruction) the relevant Extraordinary Resolution at the relevant Meeting. It will not be possible to validly tender Notes in the Offers or to validly submit Voting Only Instructions in the Proposals without at the same time giving such instructions to the Agent.

Quorum and Voting

The quorum required for each Meeting to consider the relevant Extraordinary Resolution is one or more persons present and holding or representing in the aggregate not less than two-thirds of the aggregate nominal amount of the relevant Series for the time being outstanding. In the event the necessary quorum for an Extraordinary Resolution is not obtained at the relevant Meeting, such Meeting will be adjourned. At any adjourned Meeting one or more persons present and holding or representing in the aggregate not less than one-quarter of the aggregate nominal amount of Notes of the relevant Series for the time being outstanding will form a quorum. To be passed at the relevant Meeting (including any adjourned such Meeting), an Extraordinary Resolution requires a majority consisting of not less than three-quarters of the votes cast at such Meeting.

If passed, an Extraordinary Resolution shall be binding on all Noteholders of the relevant Series, whether present or not at the relevant Meeting and whether or not voting. The implementation of the Extraordinary Resolution in respect of any Series, if passed, is conditional on the acceptance for purchase by the Issuer of the Notes of the relevant Series that have been validly tendered in the Offer applicable to such Series.

General

Under the Offers and the Proposals, all Tender Instructions and Voting Only Instructions will be irrevocable except in the limited circumstances described in the Tender Offer Memorandum. Tender Instructions must be submitted in respect of a minimum nominal amount of €100,000 (being the minimum denomination of each Series), and may be submitted in integral multiples of €1,000 thereafter. Voting Only Instructions must be submitted in respect of a minimum nominal amount of €1,000. A separate Tender Instruction or Voting Only Instruction in respect of the relevant Proposal must be submitted in respect of each Series.
