Uncertainty with respect to the restructuring of the OCEANE bond debt

As announced, the Group is currently in discussions to restructure its OCEANE bond debt, subscribed in August 2021, which includes a prepayment option at the initiative of the investor on the 3rd anniversary date of the issue, i.e. August 16, 2024. These discussions remain ongoing at the time of publication of the URD. This situation constitutes a material uncertainty with respect to the Group's continuity as a going concern, which will require its OCEANE debt to be restructured before the August 16, 2024 maturity date. However, Claranova remains confident in its ability to successfully conclude these negotiations and thus ensure the continuity of its operations.

(1) EBITDA is equal to recurring operating income before the impairment of share-based payments, including related social security contributions, and the IFRS 16 impact on the recognition of leases. A reconciliation of recurring operating income and EBITDA is presented in Section 1.3 of the URD. The IFRS 16 impact is presented in Section 2.5 of the URD.

(2) EBITDA and Adjusted net income are non-GAAP measures and should be viewed as additional information. They do not replace Group IFRS aggregates. Claranova's management considers this to be a relevant indicator of the Group’s operating and financial performance which is presented for information purposes because it excludes most non-operating and non-recurring items from the measurement of business performance.
