RECOMMENDED CASH OFFER

for

BBGI Global Infrastructure S.A. ("BBGI")

by

Boswell Holdings 3 S.C.Sp. ("Bidco")

(acting by its general partner Boswell Holdings 3 GP S.à r.l.)

which is a newly formed special limited partnership indirectly controlled by

British Columbia Investment Management Corporation ("BCI")

ACCEPTANCE LEVEL UPDATE

On 6 February 2025, Bidco and BBGI announced that they had reached agreement on the terms of a recommended cash offer to be made by Bidco, a newly formed special limited partnership (société en commandite spéciale) indirectly controlled by BCI, to acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of BBGI (the "Offer"). The offer document in relation to the Offer (the "Offer Document") and the BBGI circular and notice convening the General Meeting of BBGI Shareholders (the "BBGI Shareholder Circular") were published and made available to BBGI Shareholders on 6 March 2025.

Terms used but not defined in this announcement have the meaning given to them in the Offer Document. A copy of the Offer Document and the BBGI Shareholder Circular are available on BBGI's website at https://www.bb-gi.com/investors/offer/. This announcement should be read in conjunction with the full text of the Offer Document.

Level of acceptances

Bidco is pleased to announce that, as at 3.00 p.m. (London time) on 26 March 2025 (being the last Business Day prior to the date of this announcement), valid acceptances of the Offer had been received in respect of a total of 3,160,229 BBGI Shares, representing approximately 0.44% of BBGI's issued share capital.

So far as Bidco is aware, none of these acceptances have been received from persons acting in concert with Bidco.

As described in paragraph 5 of Part V (Additional Information) of the Offer Document, Bidco received irrevocable undertakings from the members of the BBGI Boards holding, in aggregate, 2,611,023 BBGI Shares representing approximately 0.4 per cent. of the existing issued share capital of BBGI on 26 March 2025 to accept, or to procure acceptances of, the Offer. Bidco has been informed by BBGI that all members of the BBGI Boards who hold BBGI Shares have instructed their respective third party brokers or nominees through which their beneficial holdings of BBGI Shares are held to accept the Offer in respect of their entire BBGI shareholdings and have therefore taken all steps in their control to accept the Offer, however, the Receiving Agent is unable to separately identify these individual acceptances in the total number of acceptances received.

Accordingly, as at 3.00 p.m. (London time) on 26 March 2025, Bidco may count 3,160,229 BBGI Shares, representing approximately 0.44% of BBGI's issued share capital, towards satisfaction of the Acceptance Condition.

Shareholder Approval Condition

The Offer remains subject to the passing by BBGI Shareholders of the Resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting in connection with the Offer (referred to as the "Shareholder Approval Condition" in the Offer Document). As a result, it is important that as many votes as possible are cast in favour of the Resolutions at the General Meeting in order to satisfy the Shareholder Approval Condition.

The General Meeting will be held at 2.00 p.m. (London time) / 3.00 p.m. (Luxembourg time) on 10 April 2025 at BBGI's registered office which is located at 6E Route de Trèves, L-2633 Senningerberg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

All instructions to the Depository to vote on BBGI Shareholders' behalf at the General Meeting must be submitted electronically on the CREST system to be received by the Depository, MUFG (ID: RA10), by no later than 2.00 p.m. (London time) / 3.00 p.m. (Luxembourg time) on 4 April 2025.

Further details on how to instruct the Depository to vote at the General Meeting are set out in the BBGI Shareholder Circular and in further detail below.

Regulatory Conditions

As set out in the Offer Document, the Offer is subject to the satisfaction (or if permitted, waiver) of certain Conditions, including certain merger control and foreign direct investment clearances.

Bidco and BBGI are pleased to announce that (i) the German Federal Cartel Office has confirmed that the Offer and the Asset Sale do not fulfil the requirements for the prohibition of a merger as laid down in section 36(1) of the Act Against Restraints of Competition (Gesetz gegen Wettbewerbsbeschränkungen) and (ii) the Canadian Commissioner of Competition has issued a notice confirming that it does not intend to make an application under section 92 of the Competition Act (Canada) in respect of either the Offer or the Asset Sale. As a result, the Regulatory Conditions set out in paragraphs 2(a) and 2(b) of Part A of Part III (Conditions and further terms of the Offer) of the Offer Document have now been satisfied.

The Offer remains subject to the satisfaction (or if permitted, waiver) of the remaining Conditions set out in Part A of Part III (Conditions and further terms of the Offer) of the Offer Document, including, the Acceptance Condition, the Shareholder Approval Condition and the remaining Regulatory Conditions relating to foreign investment clearances in Germany, Australia and the United Kingdom.

Subject to the satisfaction (or if permitted, waiver) of the Conditions, it is expected that the Offer will become or be declared unconditional in late Q2 or early Q3 of 2025.

Action to be taken to accept the Offer and to vote in favour of the Resolutions

BBGI Shareholders who have not yet accepted the Offer or voted in favour of the Resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting are encouraged to do so as soon as possible in accordance with the procedures set out in the Offer Document and the BBGI Shareholder Circular. By way of summary:

· TO ACCEPT THE OFFER: Acceptances in respect of BBGI Depository Interests (representing underlying BBGI Shares) held in dematerialised form should be made electronically through CREST. The acceptance should be made so that the TTE instruction settles no later than 1.00 p.m. (London time) on the Unconditional Date. CREST sponsored members should refer to their CREST sponsor as only the CREST sponsor will be able to send the necessary TTE instruction to Euroclear. Further details about how to make an Electronic Acceptance are set out in paragraph 14 of Part I (Letter from Bidco to BBGI Shareholders) and Part III (Conditions and further terms of the Offer) of the Offer Document.

· TO VOTE IN FAVOUR OF THE RESOLUTIONS: Votes in connection with the Resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting must be submitted electronically through the CREST system. BBGI Shareholders are encouraged to submit an electronic vote through the CREST system in order to instruct the Depository to vote on their behalf at the General Meeting by proxy, or if the General Meeting is adjourned, at the adjourned General Meeting by no later than 2.00 p.m. (London time) / 3.00 p.m. (Luxembourg time) on 4 April 2025. CREST sponsored members should refer to their CREST sponsor as only the CREST sponsor will be able to take the appropriate action to submit the electronic vote on CREST. Further details about the General Meeting and the procedure to follow to vote in favour of the Resolutions are set out in the BBGI Shareholder Circular and in the section headed "Action to be taken to accept the offer and to vote in favour of the Resolutions" at pages 8 and 9 of the Offer Document.

Settlement

Settlement of the consideration to which any BBGI Shareholder is entitled under the Offer will be effected: (i) in the case of acceptances received, complete in all respects by the Unconditional Date, within 14 days after the Unconditional Date; and (ii) in the case of further acceptances received, complete in all respects, after the Unconditional Date but while the Offer remains open, no later than 14 days after receipt of the relevant acceptance.

Cancellation of listing and Asset Sale

BBGI Shareholders are reminded that, as stated in the Offer Document, if the Offer becomes or is declared Unconditional, BBGI will make an application to the FCA to cancel the listing of the BBGI Shares from the Official List and an application to the London Stock Exchange for the cancellation of the admission to trading of BBGI Shares on the Main Market.

It is expected that such cancellation of listing and admission to trading will take effect no earlier than 20 Business Days after the Unconditional Date. BBGI will make an announcement through a Regulatory Information Service confirming the Delisting Date.

The cancellation of listing and admission to trading of the BBGI Shares from the Official List and the London Stock Exchange's Main Market is expected to significantly reduce the liquidity and marketability of any BBGI Shares and/or BBGI Depository Interests and BBGI Shareholders are therefore strongly encouraged to accept the Offer prior to the Unconditional Date.

As described in paragraph 11 of Part 1 (Letter from Bidco to BBGI Shareholders) of the Offer Document, subject to the Offer becoming Unconditional and the occurrence of the Delisting Date, Bidco and BBGI may implement the Asset Sale, being the sale by BBGI, directly or indirectly, of all or any of its assets and undertaking to Bidco (or an affiliate of Bidco) at fair value and otherwise on terms and conditions as either of the BBGI Boards may deem fit.

There can be no certainty that Bidco and/or BBGI will elect to implement the Asset Sale following the Offer becoming Unconditional, or that, even if the Asset Sale is implemented, the proceeds will necessarily be distributed by BBGI (whether by way of a dividend or other distribution, or a repayment of capital and whether in a liquidation of BBGI or otherwise), or that if the proceeds of the Asset Sale are distributed by BBGI, BBGI Shareholders that have not accepted the Offer would receive the same amount in respect of their BBGI Shares as they would have received had they accepted the Offer.

In light of the above, BBGI Shareholders are therefore strongly encouraged to accept the Offer prior to the Unconditional Date, in order to avoid holding illiquid BBGI Shares and/or BBGI Depository Interests and to ensure that, if the Offer becomes or is declared Unconditional, they realise value for their BBGI Shares in cash at a premium pursuant to the Offer and under the proposed Offer timetable.

Therefore any persons who are subject to the laws and regulations of any jurisdiction other than the United Kingdom should inform themselves about and observe any applicable requirements in their jurisdiction. Any failure to comply with the applicable requirements may constitute a violation of the laws and/or regulations of any such jurisdiction.

Unless otherwise determined by Bidco and permitted by applicable law and regulation, the Offer is not being, and will not be, made available, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, in or into or from a Restricted Jurisdiction where to do so would violate the laws in that jurisdiction and no person may accept the Offer by any such use, means, instrumentality or from within a Restricted Jurisdiction or any other jurisdiction if to do so would constitute a violation of the laws of that jurisdiction.

Doing so may render invalid any related purported acceptance of the Offer. Unless otherwise permitted by applicable law and regulation, the Offer may not be made directly or indirectly, in or into, or by the use of mails or any means or instrumentality (including, but not limited to, facsimile, e-mail or other electronic transmission, telex or telephone) of interstate or foreign commerce of, or of any facility of a national, state or other securities exchange of any Restricted Jurisdiction and the Offer may not be capable of acceptance by any such use, means, instrumentality or facilities.

Notice to US Investors

The Offer is being made for securities in a Luxembourg registered company whose securities are listed on the Official List and admitted to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange. BBGI Shareholders in the United States should be aware that this announcement and any other documentation relating to the Offer have been, or will be, prepared in accordance with disclosure requirements, format and style that differ from those in the United States. All financial information that is included in this announcement or that may be included or referred to in any other documents relating to the Offer, has been, or will be, prepared, save where Bidco and BBGI have expressly agreed otherwise, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards adopted by the European Union and therefore may not be comparable to financial statements of US companies or companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with US GAAP.

The Offer, if made in the United States, would only be made pursuant to applicable exemptions under the US tender offer rules and securities laws and otherwise in accordance with the applicable provisions of English law. Accordingly, the Offer will be subject to disclosure and other procedural requirements, including with respect to withdrawal rights, offer timetable, settlement procedures and timing of payments that are different from those applicable under US domestic tender offer procedures and law.

Both BBGI and Bidco are established under the laws of Luxembourg. It may not be possible for BBGI Shareholders in the United States to effect service of process within the United States upon BBGI or Bidco or their respective officers or directors or to enforce against any of them judgments of the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States. It may not be possible to sue BBGI or Bidco or their respective officers or directors in a non-US court for violations of the US securities laws. There is also substantial doubt as to enforceability in the United Kingdom and Luxembourg in original actions, or in actions for the enforcement of judgments of US courts, based on the civil liability provisions of US federal securities laws.
