Introduction

o Following its September 24th announcement, IKKS Group (the “Group”) has continued its discussions with its main stakeholders, including:

o The Group main shareholders, including LBO France, the Group’s majority shareholder, indirectly owning c. 61% of the Group’s share capital and Roger Zannier, owning c. 29% of the Group’s share capital

o A group of holders (the “Ad Hoc Group” or “AHG”) of the outstanding 6.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2021 issued by HOLDIKKS (the “SSNs”) representing approximately 42% of the aggregate principal amount of the total issued SSNs

o The Group’s Revolving Credit Facility lenders, bilateral facilities and Letter of Credit providers

o These discussions have been held on the basis of a new Management business plan, which is presented in this document, and have focused on the terms of a restructuring plan that would allow holders of the SSNs to take control of the Group (the “Transaction”)

o The AHG has provided the Group with a proposal outlining its views on the capital structure post Transaction. This proposal has been discussed and negotiated between the Group and the AHG resulting in terms (the “Transaction key terms”) that are being finalized and are summarized on slides 18 and 19

• The Transaction key terms include a € 70m new money component, with proceeds aimed at refinancing the Group’s existing €33m revolving credit facility, repaying some of the bilateral facilities and overdrafts, and improving the overall liquidity of the Group

• The Transaction key terms, notably thanks to the substantial conversion of SSNs into quasi-equity PIK instruments and subsequent deleveraging, allow the financing and the execution of the new business plan

• The take-back paper will be allocated depending upon the participation to the new money, which will be opened to all SSNs holders (see slides 18 and 19)

o Positions of the shareholders (LBO France, Silverfern and Roger Zannier) and the Ad Hoc Group have converged on the terms pursuant to which existing shareholders would cede control of the Group to the SSNs holders

• These key terms are summarized on slides 20 and 21

Although the shareholders agree to the terms of the earn-out summarized on slides 20 and 21, discussions are continuing between them, notably LBO France and Roger Zannier, on the sharing of this earn-out

2018 Reforecast key figures

YTD Group Revenues

○ Increase of +1.7% in August Ytd explained by:

• A positive Retail channel driven by LFL of +1.6%

○ 2018 RF net sales added up to 350.5m€ representing a growth of +1.4% driven by :

• Positive LFL assumptions for the YTG to reach a FY LFL of +2.6%

• A Wholesale channel in line with performance in late August

Additional materials regarding possible tax issues

o The cash flow forecasts presented previously assume the implementation of the transaction will allow the existing corporate structure to remain in place, maintaining the tax and VAT integration at the ultimate holding company level (IKKS Invest)

o If the implementation of the envisaged transaction cannot allow the existing corporate structure to remain in place, and results in a separation of IKKS Invest from the rest of the group, the following consequences could arise:

• Possible loss of the existing tax losses carry-forward (estimated at €60m as of 31 December 2018 if the separation occurs in 2019)

• Possible risk that the advance payments on corporate income tax made by the various IKKS group companies to IKKS Invest during the year would need to be paid again directly to the tax authorities. The advance payments on corporate income tax made in 2018 as of today amount to € 2.4m, and would increase to € 3.1m by 2018 year-end

• Possible risk that some of the IKKS group companies would loose the VAT claim they have against the tax authorities as they would have passed through this claim to IKKS Invest. The monthly evolution of the VAT debts / claims over the past 18 months is described below:

This Presentation may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and the securities laws of other jurisdictions, notwithstanding that such statements are not specifically identified. Any forward-looking statement does not constitute forecasts as defined in European regulation (EC) 809/2004. These forward-looking statements may include statements regarding our plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future revenue or performance, financing needs, plans or intentions relating to acquisitions, dispositions, investments or capital expenditures, business trends or other information that is not historical information. These statements may include terminology such as “may”, “will”, “expect”, “could”, “should”, “intend”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “remain”, “on track”, “design”, “target”, “objective”, “goal”, “forecast”, “projection”, “outlook”, “prospects”, “plan”, “intend”, or similar terminology. Forward-looking statements are related to future, not past, events and are not guarantees of future performance. These statements are based on current expectations and projections about future events and, by their nature, address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties. They relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur or exist in the future, and, as such, undue reliance should not be placed on them. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in such statements as a result of a variety of factors, including changes in general economic, financial and market conditions and other changes in business conditions. These risks and uncertainties, as well as other risks of which we are not aware or which we currently do not believe to be material, may cause our actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The Company does not represent or warrant that their actual future results, performance or achievements will be as discussed in those forward-looking statements. Further, the Company disclaims any responsibility, and undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this Presentation to reflect any change in their expectations with respect to such statements or information after the date of this Presentation or to reflect any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which Noble based any such statements. This Presentation contains financial information regarding the businesses and assets of Parent and its consolidated subsidiaries. Such financial information may not have been audited, reviewed or verified by any independent accounting firm. Certain financial data included in this Presentation consists of “non-IFRS financial measures.” These non-IFRS financial measures, as defined by Parent, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures as presented by other companies, nor should they be considered as an alternative to the historical financial results or other indicators of the Group’s cash flow based on IFRS. Even though the non-IFRS financial measures are used by management to assess Parent’s financial position, financial results and liquidity and these types of measures are commonly used by investors, they have important limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of Parent’s financial position or results of operations as reported under IFRS. The inclusion of financial information in this Presentation should not be regarded as a representation or warranty by Parent, or any of its affiliates, advisors or representatives or any other person as to the accuracy or completeness of such information’s portrayal of the financial condition or results of operations of Parent and its consolidated subsidiaries and should not be relied upon when making an investment decision. Information in this Presentation, including forward-looking financial information, should not be considered as advice or a recommendation to investors or potential investors in relation to holding, purchasing or selling securities or other financial products or instruments. If you have any doubt about the foregoing or any content of this Presentation, you should seek independent financial advice. Shareholders, potential investors and holders of the existing debts and other securities of the Group are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Group.
