Material events during the fiscal year

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020, the Ecore group generated €881 million in revenue and a published EBITDA (after applying IFRS 16) of €53 million. It employs 1,300 people and develops its metal waste recycling activities (92% of revenue) at 83 sites in France, Belgium, Switzerland, Romania and Hungary. The volumes handled by Ecore during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 are as follows: Ferrous scrap metal: 2,238 kt (of which 518 kt from trading); Non-ferrous metals: 216 kt (including 37 kt of batteries). The Ecore group has not yet published its results for 2021. After nine months of activity (as of June 30, 2021), the volume processed was up by 26.5% compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year. Revenue rose to €1,091 million (up 69%) and EBITDA was €94.1 million. The Ecore group had also reduced its debt by €41.7 million over this nine-month period. In order to contribute to the financing of this acquisition, on June 24, 2021 Derichebourg issued a Green Bond of €300 million, with a maturity of seven years and an annual interest rate of 2.25%. Events between the closing date and approval of the financial statements On October 26, 2021, the Group submitted its notification dossier to the European Commission for the Ecore acquisition. On November 25, 2021, the Group filed a proposal for structural commitments, for which negotiation was ongoing on the closing date of the financial statements. 1.2

Despite the difficult health context due to the upsurge in Covid-19 in France (second, third and fourth waves), the Group’s activity as a whole was not significantly disrupted during this fiscal year, although some of the Group’s businesses have faced a lower level of activity since the start of the pandemic (aeronautical services). Signature of the Ecore acquisition contract and filing of the notification file with commitments On December 30, 2020, Derichebourg Environnement submitted a firm and irrevocable offer to acquire 100% of Groupe Ecore Holding's capital, on the basis of which they agreed to a period of exclusive negotiations. On February 26, 2021, the acquisition contract was signed. The only condition precedent was the European Commission's approval of the transaction. Derichebourg Environnement submitted its notification dossier (form CO) to the European Commission on October 26, 2021 and made a proposal for structural commitments (form RM) on November 25, 2021. On the closing date of the financial statements, it is negotiating these commitments with the Commission. So as not to interfere with ongoing negotiations, additional information will be provided once the situation is finalized. Derichebourg plans to complete the transaction by the end of December 2021.
