"The energy efficiency market is being transformed. The gradual disappearance of fossil fuel-based systems is leading to a complete overhaul of buildings' energy equipment, making heat pumps the most suitable alternative for new uses and regulatory constraints. AIRWELL GROUP has long been at the heart of this transformation, making heat pumps the focus of its offering. Thanks to past investments and the strategic changes we have made over the last 3 years, we aim to become the French leader in sustainable climate and thermal solutions for the construction industry. After a successful trial run on the ACCESS segment of the stock market, our Group is now ready to enter a new phase in its history. In a market that is expected to grow strongly over the next 10 years, we reiterate our intention to double in size and achieve revenues of €100m by 2025,"says Laurent Roegel, CEO of the AIRWELL GROUP.

The Group's strategy is to constantly address its customers' concerns, in particular by optimising their energy consumption, making greater use of renewable energies and reinventing ways of using energy. To keep pace with the fast-changing market, the Group has developed a comprehensive offering based on a fabless industrial model and optimised logistics, making it more agile and better able to focus investment on R&D.

Subscription price for the New Shares: The price of the shares offered in the OPO will be equal to the price of the shares offered in the Global Placement (the "Offer Price"). The Offer Price may fall within a range of between €4.80 and €5.20 per New Share, as determined by the Chief Executive Officer on 14th of June 2023 in accordance with the powers delegated to him by the Board of Directors of the Company at its meeting on 2 June 2023 (the "Indicative Range"). This information is provided for information purposes only and is without prejudice to the Offer Price, which may be set outside this Indicative Range. In the event of a change in the upper limit of the Indicative Price Range mentioned above or if the price is set at more than €5.20 per share, orders issued as part of the Open Price Offer may be revoked for at least three trading days. The Offer Price is expected to be set on 27th of June by the Chief Executive Officer in keeping with the provisional schedule. It will be calculated by comparing the shares offered with the applications made by investors in the Global Placement, using the technique known as "book building" as established by professional practice. Extension clause: Depending on the level of demand expressed in the Offer, the initial amount of the Offer may, at the Company's discretion, be increased by 10%, i.e. a maximum number of 100 000 New Shares (the "Extension Clause").
