Leeuwarden, March 31, 2023

On March 20, we informed you about the proposed takeover of Carver by a foreign investor. The planned closing date was March 31, 2023, and the funding should have been deposited into the notary's third-party account this week. We regret to inform you that this date has not been met.

The investor has not (yet) made the agreed payment of the purchase price into the notary's escrow account and has not yet provided all the necessary documents to the notary. Therefore, the notary has not yet been able to carry out the necessary compliance checks. At this time we cannot mention a new closing date because we do not know when the notary will have all the documents and/or when the investor will transfer the funds. If we receive new information, we will inform you immediately.

Until further notice, the certificates for C shares and bonds will remain tradable on NPEX and March 31, 3 is therefore not the last trading day. As we informed you on March 2023, trading in bonds and certificates will therefore resume on Monday, April 20. We will inform you as soon as we have a new date.

We regret that we cannot inform you otherwise and trust that we have fully informed you all.

On behalf of Carver management and employees,

Anton Rosier & René van de Graaf

CEO CFO
