PARIS & ARNHEM, the Netherlands & NEW YORK – August 1, 2024 - Allego N.V. (“Allego” or the “Company”) (NYSE: ALLG), a leading provider of electric vehicle charging solutions, and Madeleine Charging B.V., Allego’s majority shareholder (“Meridiam”), jointly announced today the expiration and final results of Meridiam’s previously announced cash tender offer for all the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Allego (the “Shares”) not owned by Meridiam or its affiliates (the “Offer”). The Offer expired one minute after 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on July 31, 2024 and was not extended.

A total of 38,718,988 Shares were properly tendered and not withdrawn, and Meridiam has accepted for purchase all such Shares. As a result of completion of the Offer, Meridiam holds 236,556,055 Shares representing approximately 86.6% of the total outstanding Shares of the Company as of July 3, 2024.

As previously announced, on June 17, 2024, Allego and Meridiam entered into a Transaction Framework Agreement pursuant to which Allego will voluntarily delist the Shares from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) after the completion of the Offer. The parties intend to take all steps necessary to effect the delisting of the Shares as promptly as possible and anticipate that the delisting will be effective in August 2024.

Allego seeks to delist the Shares based on, among other things, the belief that its management may have greater flexibility, as a private company, to focus on improving its long-term financial performance without the pressures caused by the public equity market’s valuation of the Company and emphasis on short-term period-to-period performance. The Company has not arranged to list or register the Shares on another national securities exchange.

The information agent for the Offer is Innisfree M&A Incorporated, and the Depositary is Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, LLC. For questions and information, please contact the information agent toll free at (877) 750-8240 (for shareholders) or collect at (212) 750 5833 (for banks and brokers).
