FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
17 October 2025
Further Investment in Treatt plc ("Treatt" or the "Company")
On 30 September 2025, Döhler Group SE ("Döhler") confirmed that it did not have an intention to make an offer for Treatt, and accordingly is bound by the restrictions contained in Rule 2.8 of the Takeover Code (the "Code") from that date.
This announcement included a reservation that would permit Döhler to set aside the Rule 2.8 statement with the consent of the Board of Treatt in the event the Firm Offer from Natara lapses or is withdrawn. As Döhler has acquired shares since it confirmed that it is not considering an offer for Treatt, under Note 2(c) of Rule 2.8 of the Code, Döhler can no longer rely on the consent of the Board of Treatt to set aside the restrictions contained in Rule 2.8.
