   AUSTRIACARD HOLDINGS AG: DNP’s Voluntary Takeover Offer Results

    

   Vienna,  26 August 2026

   AUSTRIACARD HOLDINGS AG (the "Company"), further to the announcements
   dated 13.05.2026, 12.06.2026, 19.06.2026 and 03.08.2026 in relation to Dai
   Nippon Printing Co., Ltd.’s (“DNP”) voluntary public takeover offer (the
   “Offer”), hereby informs the investing public that according to DNP’s
   announcement on 26 August 2026 on the results of the Offer, until the end
   of the Acceptance Period, i.e. 21 August 2026, 17:00 Vienna local
   time/18:00 Athens local time 35,099,096 AUSTRIACARD Shares have been
   tendered for sale into the Offer. This represents a participation of
   approximately 96.55 % in the Company’s registered share capital and total
   outstanding voting rights.

   According to DNP’s announcement all Conditions Precedent pursuant to
   Section 4.1. of the Offer document have been satisfied except the approval
   of the competent Austrian foreign direct investment authority pursuant to
   section 4.1.3 of the Offer document, which remains outstanding. 

   Based on the result of the Offer and the participation of DNP in the
   Company, subject to the fulfilment of the remaining Condition Precedent,
   DNP announced that it intends to pursue the necessary steps to effect a
   squeeze-out in accordance with the provisions of the Austrian Squeeze-out
   Act (Gesellschafter-Ausschlussgesetz). The implementation of this
   squeeze-out will also lead to the delisting of the Company from the Vienna
   Stock Exchange and Euronext Athens. Reference is made to Section 6.2 of
   the Offer Document.

   Further, according to DNP, the Offer will be settled in accordance with
   Section 5 of the Offer document. The Offer price of EUR 10.00 per
   AUSTRIACARD Share will thus be paid to the holders of AUSTRIACARD Shares
   Tendered for Sale no later than 10 trading days after the date on which
   the Offer becomes unconditionally binding, i.e. after the approval of
   competent Austrian foreign direct investment authority, via their
   respective securities accounts.

   Last, DNP noted that pursuant to Section 19 para 3 ÜbG, the Acceptance
   Period will be extended for all holders of AUSTRIACARD Shares who have not
   yet accepted the Offer for three months from announcement of the result
   ("Additional Acceptance Period"). The Additional Acceptance Period thus
   starts on 26 August 2026 and lasts until (and including) 26 November 2026,
   17:00 Vienna local time / 18:00 Athens local time. Holders of AUSTRIACARD
   Shares who have not yet accepted the Offer may tender their AUSTRIACARD
   Shares, at unchanged terms, during the Additional Acceptance Period.
