Robert Frowein, Managing Director of Style Beteiligungs GmbH & Co KG and Board member of Rebelle, comments:

"We have been a shareholder in Rebelle for many years, together reaching numerous milestones in the path to offer a sustainable way of consuming clothes in the premium segment. Vinted, as a frontrunner in the industry with a large number of users and wide geographical reach, can support Rebelle's continued growth and journey to deliver a superior selling and buying experience to its customers. As a significant shareholder in Rebelle, we think this is an attractive offer for all shareholders and the right way forward for Rebelle's development."

Background and reasons for the Offer

Vinted is a fast-growing technology company primarily operating a C2C second-hand marketplace business, with presence in 16 countries across Europe and North America. Since being founded in 2008, Vinted has established a base of over 65 million registered members for its marketplace, enabling the trade of a wide range of second-hand fashion and lifestyle products. It has also recently launched a dedicated shipping business with the aim of improving the delivery proposition on offer in Europe. Vinted Limited is a privately held company; among some of its largest shareholders include EQT Growth, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Accel, Insight Venture Partners, Burda Principal Investments, and Sprints Capital.

Rebelle operates an online marketplace for selling and buying premium second-hand fashion items and accessories. Rebelle takes control of the entire sales process and aims to deliver a superior selling and buying experience to its customers. Rebelle is offering products from the world's most sought-after fashion brands while also increasing customer's awareness of sustainability and circularity within the fashion industry.

Vinted has known the Rebelle team for some time as an industry peer and sees great potential for both Vinted and Rebelle to leverage their experience and create a strengthened value proposition for consumers. Rebelle's position within the premium segment, combined with Vinted's geographical reach, operational and financial strength and scalability, will be key to achieving this. The future strategy for the combined company entails continued expansion in current markets and an improved value proposition for users by leveraging on the companies' combined expertise in processes, technology, and operations. Together, Rebelle and Vinted will be able to accelerate Vinted's journey to become the marketplace of choice for all types of second-hand fashion.

Vinted appreciates the values and culture represented in Rebelle's organization. In order to pave the way for a successful integration, Vinted intends to build a combined organization capitalizing on joint expertise, processes, technology and operational competences. Vinted's plans for the future business and general strategy, as described above, does not currently include any material changes with regard to Rebelle's operational sites, its management and employees, including their terms of employment. Vinted's plans with regard to the new group's operations, its operational sites or its management and employees will be evaluated after completion of the Offer.

Special notice to shareholders in the United States

Shareholders domiciled in the United States (the "U.S. Holders") are advised that the shares are not registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and that the Company is not subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and is not required to, and does not, file any reports thereunder with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Offer is open to shareholders resident in the United States and is made on the same terms and conditions as those made to all other shareholders of the Company to whom the Offer is being made. Any information documents, including the offer document, are being disseminated to U.S. Holders on a basis comparable to the method that such documents are provided to the Company's other shareholders.

The Offer described in this press release is made for shares in Rebelle, a company incorporated under Swedish law, and is subject to Swedish disclosure and procedural requirements, which are different from those of the United States. In particular, the Company's financial statements, and all financial information that is included herein, or any other documents relating to the Offer, have been or will be prepared in accordance with IFRS and may not be comparable to financial statements of companies in the United States or other companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The Offer is made in accordance with the requirements of Swedish law. Accordingly, the Offer is subject to disclosure and other procedural requirements, including with respect to withdrawal rights, the Offer timetable, settlement procedures and timing of payments, that are different from those applicable under U.S. domestic tender offer procedures and law, and certain rules applicable to U.S. tender offers made in the United States do not apply. U.S. Holders are encouraged to consult with their own advisors regarding the Offer.

The settlement of the Offer is based on the applicable Swedish law provisions which differ from the settlement procedures customary in the United States, particularly as regards the time when payment of the consideration is rendered. To the extent the Offer is subject to U.S. securities laws, those laws only apply to U.S. Holders and thus will not give rise to claims on the part of any other person. The U.S. Holders should consider that the price for the Offer is being paid in SEK and that no adjustment will be made based on any changes in the exchange rate.

It may be difficult for U.S. Holders or other shareholders to enforce their rights and any claims they may have arising under the U.S. federal or state securities laws in connection with the Offer, since the Company and Vinted are located in countries other than the United States, and some or all of their officers and directors may be residents of countries other than the United States. U.S. Holders may not be able to sue the Company or Vinted or their respective officers or directors in a non-U.S. court for violations of U.S. securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel the Company or Vinted and/or their respective affiliates to subject themselves to the jurisdiction or judgment of a U.S. court.

Vinted and its affiliates or brokers (acting as agents for Vinted or its affiliates, as applicable) may from time to time after the date hereof directly or indirectly purchase or arrange to purchase shares of the Company outside the United States, or any securities that are convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for such shares, other than pursuant to the Offer, during the period in which the Offer remains open for acceptance. These purchases may occur either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices. In addition, the financial advisor to Vinted may also engage in ordinary course trading activities in securities of the Company, which may include purchases or arrangements to purchase such securities as long as such purchases or arrangements are in compliance with the applicable law. Any information about such purchases will be announced in Swedish and in a non-binding English translation available to the U.S. Holders through relevant electronic media if, and to the extent, such announcement is required under applicable law, rules or regulations.

The receipt of cash pursuant to the Offer by a U.S. Holder may be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes and under applicable U.S. state and local, as well as foreign and other, tax laws. Each shareholder is urged to consult an independent professional advisor regarding the tax consequences of accepting the Offer. Neither Vinted nor any of its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees or agents or any other person acting on their behalf in connection with the Offer shall be responsible for any tax effects or liabilities resulting from acceptance of this Offer.

NEITHER THE U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY U.S. STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION OR REGULATORY AUTHORITY HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED THE OFFER, PASSED UPON THE FAIRNESS OR MERITS OF THE OFFER OR DETERMINED WHETHER THIS PRESS RELEASE IS ACCURATE OR COMPLETE. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE IN THE UNITED STATES.
