Under the terms of the Helios Offer, Eligible CAB Payments Shareholders would be entitled to receive 1.15 US dollars in cash per existing CAB Payments share or the Partial Alternative Offer.

Pursuant to the terms of the Helios Offer Announcement, BidCo reserved the right to reduce the consideration payable under the terms of the Acquisition by an amount up to the amount of any dividend and/or other distribution and/or other return of capital that is declared, made or paid or becomes payable in respect of the Company Shares which are the subject of the Offer on or after the date of the Helios Offer Announcement and before the Effective Date.

Accordingly, BidCo would have been entitled to reduce the Cash Offer by an amount equal to the Inaugural Interim Dividend.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, BidCo has elected not to exercise that right in respect of the Inaugural Interim Dividend.
