Statement Regarding Pendragon PLC ("Pendragon")
Hedin Mobility Group AB (publ) ("Hedin Mobility") notes the announcement by the Board of Pendragon on 27 September 2022 that it is conducting a review of potential strategic options for Pendragon. Hedin Mobility was surprised by the announcement which seems to contradict the long-term view of the Pendragon Board that Pinewood continues to be a fundamental aspect of Pendragon's strategy, which was reiterated to Hedin Mobility by Pendragon as recently as 25 September 2022.
In light of this radical change of direction from the Pendragon Board, Hedin Mobility is considering its position in relation to its current shareholding, and refers to its own announcement entitled Statement Regarding Pendragon released on 26 September 2022 (the "Statement"). The Statement included the sentence "Hedin Mobility believes in the long term potential of Pendragon and will not consider or accept any other offers for its current shareholding in Pendragon." Hedin Mobility reserves the right to set this sentence aside in the event that a third party announces a firm offer for Pendragon at a price not less than 35 pence per Pendragon share.
A further announcement will be made as and when appropriate.
