Notes due 30 August 2026 (ISIN: XS1482736185) (the Notes), issued by the Company, to tender their Notes for purchase by the Company, for cash subject to satisfaction or waiver of the New Financing Condition (as defined below) and the other conditions described in the Tender Offer Memorandum (as defined below) (such invitation the Offer).  The Offer is being made on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the tender offer memorandum dated 24 March 2025 (the Tender Offer Memorandum) prepared by the Company, and is subject to the offer and distribution restrictions set out below and as more fully described in the Tender Offer Memorandum.

Copies of the Tender Offer Memorandum are (subject to the offer and distribution restrictions) available from the Tender Agent as set out below. Capitalised terms used in this announcement but not defined have the meanings given to them in the Tender Offer Memorandum.

Summary of the Offer

A summary of certain of the terms of the Offer appear below:

Rationale for the Offer

The Offer is being made (subject to the New Financing Condition) as part of the Company's ongoing prudent management of its liabilities to enable it to proactively manage its refinancing requirements.

Purchase Price and Accrued Interest

The Company will, on the Settlement Date, pay for Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase by the Company pursuant to the Offer, a cash purchase price for such Notes (expressed as a percentage) (the Purchase Price) to be determined at or around 12.00 p.m. (CEST) on 31 March 2025 (the Pricing Time) (subject to the right of the Company to amend such time and date in its sole discretion and without prior notice to Noteholders) in the manner further described in the Tender Offer Memorandum by reference to the Purchase Yield, which shall equal the sum of (i) the Purchase Spread specified in the table on page 1 of this announcement; and (ii) the Interpolated Mid-Swap Rate.

The Purchase Price will be determined in accordance with market convention and expressed as a percentage of the nominal amount of Notes accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer (rounded to the nearest 0.001 per cent., with 0.0005 per cent. rounded upwards) and is intended to reflect a yield to the Maturity Date on the Settlement Date based on the Purchase Yield.

Specifically, the Purchase Price will equal (a) the value of all remaining payments of principal and interest on the Notes up to and including the Maturity Date, discounted to the Settlement Date at a discount rate equal to the Purchase Yield, minus (b) any Accrued Interest for the Notes.

The Company will also pay an Accrued Interest Payment in respect of Notes accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer.

Final Acceptance Amount and Scaling

The Company proposes that (subject to satisfaction or waiver of the New Financing Condition) the aggregate nominal amount of Notes (if any) which it will accept for purchase pursuant to the Offer will be an amount of up to €250,000,000 (the Maximum Acceptance Amount), although the Company reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to accept significantly more or significantly less than (or none of) the Maximum Acceptance Amount for purchase pursuant to the Offer (the final nominal amount accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer being the Final Acceptance Amount).

If the Company decides to accept any validly tendered Notes for purchase pursuant to the Offer and the aggregate nominal amount of Notes validly tendered for purchase is greater than the Final Acceptance Amount, the Company intends in its sole and absolute discretion to accept such Notes for purchase on a pro rata basis such that the aggregate nominal amount of Notes accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer is no greater than the Final Acceptance Amount. See "Further Information and Terms and Conditions - Scaling of Tenders" in the Tender Offer Memorandum.

New Financing Condition

Atlas Copco Finance DAC (the Issuer), a subsidiary of the Company announced on 24 March 2025 its intention to issue a new series of euro-denominated fixed rate notes (the New Notes) guaranteed by the Company pursuant to their U.S.$.6,000,000,000 Euro Medium Term Note Programme (the Programme) subject to market conditions, the proceeds of which will be used, in whole or in part, to finance the Offer.  Whether the Company will accept for purchase Notes validly tendered in the Offer is subject (unless such condition is waived by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion), without limitation, to the successful completion (in the sole determination of the Company) of the issue of the New Notes (the New Financing Condition).

Even if the New Financing Condition is satisfied (or waived), the Company is not under any obligation to accept for purchase any Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Offer.  The acceptance for purchase by the Company of Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Offer is at the sole and absolute discretion of the Company and tenders may be rejected by the Company for any reason.

Any investment decision to purchase any New Notes should be made solely on the basis of the information contained in (i) the base prospectus dated 21 March 2025 (the Base Prospectus) prepared in connection with the Programme; and (ii) the final terms to be prepared in connection with the New Notes (the Final Terms), and no reliance is to be placed on any representations other than those contained in the Base Prospectus.

Allocation of the New Notes

The Issuer will, in connection with the allocation of the proposed issue of New Notes by or on behalf of the Issuer, consider among other factors whether or not the relevant Noteholder seeking an allocation of the New Notes has validly tendered, or indicated a firm intention to the Company or any Dealer Manager to tender, their Notes pursuant to the Offer, and, if so, the aggregate nominal amount of the Notes validly tendered or intended to be tendered by such Noteholder (subject to such Noteholder making a separate application for the subscription of the New Notes to the joint lead managers of the issue of the New Notes). When considering allocation of the New Notes, the Issuer may give preference to those Noteholders who, prior to such allocation, have validly tendered or indicated their firm intention to the Company or to any Dealer Manager to tender their Notes pursuant to the Offer and subscribe for New Notes. Any such preference in the allocation of the New Notes will be applicable up to the aggregate nominal amount of Notes tendered or firmly indicated to be tendered by such Noteholder pursuant to the Offer. However, the Issuer is not obliged to allocate the New Notes to a Noteholder who has validly tendered or indicated a firm intention to tender its Notes for purchase pursuant to the Offer. Any allocation of the New Notes, while being considered by the Issuer as set out above, will be made in accordance with customary new issue allocation processes and procedures and, if New Notes are allocated, the nominal amount thereof may be less or more than the nominal amount of Notes tendered by such Noteholder and accepted by the Company pursuant to the Offer. In the event that a Noteholder validly tenders Notes for purchase pursuant to the Offer, such Notes will remain subject to such tender and the conditions of the Offer as set out in the Tender Offer Memorandum irrespective of whether that Noteholder receives all, part or none of any allocation of New Notes for which it has applied.

A Noteholder wishing for its Tender Instruction or its intention to tender Notes to be taken into account in the allocation process for the New Notes should contact a Dealer Manager (in its capacity as a joint lead manager of the issue of the New Notes) in accordance with the standard new issue procedure of such Dealer Manager, or by contacting the Dealer Managers using the contact details below. The pricing of the New Notes is expected to take place prior to the Expiration Deadline and, as such, Noteholders are advised to contact any of the Dealer Managers as soon as possible, and prior to the allocation of the New Notes in order for this to be taken into account as part of the New Notes allocation process.

Noteholders are advised to check with any bank, securities broker or other intermediary through which they hold Notes when such intermediary would need to receive instructions from a Noteholder in order for that Noteholder to be able to participate in, or (in the limited circumstances in which revocation is permitted) revoke their instruction to participate in, the Offer by the deadlines specified in the Tender Offer Memorandum.  The deadlines set by any such intermediary and each Clearing System for the submission and withdrawal of Tender Instructions will be earlier than the relevant deadlines specified in the Tender Offer Memorandum.

If the Offer is not extended or amended by the Company, the results of the Offer are expected to be announced as soon as reasonably practicable after the Pricing Time.
