On 27 May 2024, the Company and the Offeror entered into a non-disclosure agreement with respect to the Transaction (the NDA).

The Company has granted the Offeror and its advisers access to a virtual data room, which contained documents and information pertaining to the historical commercial, operational, financial, treasury and legal aspects of the Company and its businesses (the Due Diligence Information).

The Board has determined that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ are independent and disinterested members of the Board with respect to the Transaction (the Disinterested Directors, which definition shall include any successor Independent Director appointed in accordance with Clause 8.1, as applicable) and have been appointed to constitute the Company’s transaction committee with respect to the Transaction.

Taking into account, among others, the strategic considerations set forth in the Joint Announcement, (I) the Offeror intends to make a tender offer (such offer, as it may be amended from time to time as permitted by this TFA, the Offer) to purchase all the Ordinary Shares that are not already held, directly or indirectly, by the Offeror or its Affiliates (such shares, the Shares), for a cash payment of USD 1.70 per Share, without interest, in order to provide the Allego Shareholders with an exit opportunity; (II) the Company intends to voluntarily delist all the Ordinary Shares as soon as possible following the Closing Date (the Delisting) and subsequently deregister all the Ordinary Shares in accordance with Section 12(b) under the Exchange Act (the Deregistration); and (III) Meridiam Fund IV intends to make the Faolan Contribution promptly following the execution of this TFA and to underwrite a capital contribution to the Company by making the Meridiam Contribution following the Delisting. Collectively, these actions — the Offer, the Delisting, the Deregistration, the Faolan Contribution and the Meridiam Contribution — are referred to as the Transaction.

With due observance of their fiduciary duties and after due and careful consideration, the Disinterested Directors have: (I) determined that, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this TFA, the Transaction is in the best interests of the Company and its business and promotes the sustainable success and the sustainable long-term value creation of the Company’s business, having taken into account the interests of its stakeholders (including the Allego Shareholders); (II) approved the execution of this TFA by the Company and the performance by the Company of its obligations under this TFA; and (III) resolved that the Company shall pursue the Transaction on the terms of and subject to the provisions of this TFA.

With due observance of their fiduciary duties and after due and careful consideration, the board of directors of the Offeror has: (I) determined that, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this TFA, the Transaction is in the best interests of the Offeror and its business and promotes the sustainable success and the sustainable long-term value creation of the Offeror’s business, having taken into account the interests of its stakeholders; (II) approved the execution of this TFA and the performance by the Offeror of its obligations under this TFA; and (III) resolved that the Offeror shall pursue the Transaction on the terms of and subject to the provisions of this TFA.

With due observance of its fiduciary duties and after due and careful consideration, Meridiam, in its capacity as fund manager of Meridiam Fund IV, has (I) determined that, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this TFA, the Meridiam Contribution is in the best interests of Meridiam Fund IV and its business; (II) approved the execution of this TFA and the performance by Meridiam Fund IV of its obligations under this TFA; and (III) resolved that Meridiam Fund IV shall pursue the Faolan Contribution and the Meridiam Contribution on the terms of and subject to the provisions of this TFA.

The Schedules are part of this TFA and shall have the same force and effect as if set out in the body of this TFA and any reference to this TFA shall include the Schedules.

This TFA shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the Party drafting or causing any instrument to be drafted.

The headings in this TFA are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect its interpretation.

THE TRANSACTION

promptly following the execution of this TFA, Meridiam Fund IV shall, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this TFA, make the Faolan Contribution as further set forth in Clause 5.1;

the Offeror shall, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this TFA, commence the Offer as further set forth in Clause 3;

as soon as possible after the Closing Date, the Company shall, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this TFA, effect the Delisting as further set forth in Clause 4.1; and

following the Delisting, the Parties shall, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this TFA, consummate the Meridiam Contribution as further set forth in Clauses 5.2 and 5.3.

THE OFFER

The Offer

On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this TFA, the Offeror shall effect the Offer. The Offeror agrees with the Company that the price payable by the Offeror for the Shares validly tendered in and not properly withdrawn under the Offer (the Tendered Shares) shall be USD 1.70 per Tendered Share, in cash, without interest (such amount or any other amount per Tendered Share to be paid pursuant to the Offer in accordance with this TFA, the Offer Consideration). The Offer Consideration shall be paid net of any applicable withholding Taxes in accordance with Clause 3.5(b).

The value of the Offer Consideration is on the basis that no dividend or other distribution, whether in cash or assets (other than any dividend or other distribution within the scope of Clause 3.1(d)), by the Company to the holders of Ordinary Shares is declared, made or paid between the date of this TFA and the Closing Date. In the event that the Company, without the prior written consent of the Offeror, declares, makes or pays such a dividend or other distribution after the date of this TFA and with a record date for entitlement to payment thereof on or before the Closing Date, the Offeror may reduce the Offer Consideration accordingly.

The Offeror expressly reserves the right at any time to, in its sole discretion, waive, in whole or in part, any of the Offer Conditions and to make any change in the terms of or conditions to the Offer not inconsistent with this TFA; provided that, without the prior written consent of the Company, the Offeror shall not:

decrease the Offer Consideration, except as otherwise expressly permitted by Clauses 3.1(b) and 3.1(d);

change the form of the Offer Consideration;

decrease the number of Ordinary Shares sought under the Offer;

impose additional conditions to the Offer;

amend, modify or supplement any of the Offer Conditions or terms of the Offer in a manner adverse, or reasonably expected to be adverse, to any Allego Shareholder; or

terminate the Offer or accelerate, extend or otherwise change the Expiration Time, in each case, except as provided in Clause 3.4.

In the event that, during the period between the date of this TFA and the Expiration Time, the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares is changed into a different number of Ordinary Shares as a result of a conversion, stock split, including a reverse stock split, stock dividend or distribution, or other similar transaction, then the Offer Consideration shall be equitably adjusted, without duplication, to reflect such change; provided, that, in any case, nothing in this Clause 3.1(d) shall be construed to permit the Company to take any action with respect to its securities that is otherwise prohibited by the terms of this TFA. For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment pursuant to this Clause 3.1(d) will not result in any increase or decrease to the aggregate Offer Consideration payable to the Allego Shareholders taken as a whole.

Offer Conditions

Subject to any applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, including Rule 14e-l(c) under the Exchange Act (relating to the Offeror’s obligation to pay for or return Tendered Shares promptly after the termination or withdrawal of the Offer), the Offeror shall not be obligated to accept for payment, and pay for, any Tendered Shares unless, as of immediately prior to the applicable Expiration Time, all of the Offer Conditions set forth in Schedule 1 have been satisfied or waived (to the extent that such waiver is permitted by applicable Laws).

The Offer Conditions are for the sole benefit of the Offeror and may be waived (either in whole or in part) by the Offeror at any time, in its sole discretion, by written notice to the Company, except to the extent that such waiver is not permitted by applicable Laws. The Offer Conditions shall be in addition to, and not a limitation of, the rights and obligations of the Offeror and the Company (to the extent applicable) to extend, terminate, amend or modify the Offer in accordance with the terms and conditions of this TFA and applicable Laws. The failure by the Offeror at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right that may be waived at any time. In addition, each of the Offer Conditions is independent of any of the other Offer Conditions and the exclusion of any event from a particular Offer Condition does not mean that such event may not be included in another Offer Condition.

Commencement of the Offer

Expiration, Extension and Termination of Offer

Unless extended as provided in this TFA, the Offer shall expire at one minute after 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on the date that is 20 Business Days (for this purpose calculated in accordance with Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) after the Offer Commencement Date (such time for the expiration of the Offer, as may be extended in accordance with the terms of this TFA, the Expiration Time).

Subject to the provisions of Clause 18, if any of the Offer Conditions is not satisfied or waived (to the extent that such waiver is permitted by applicable Laws) at the Expiration Time, the Offeror may extend the Offer for one or more consecutive increments of not more than ten Business Days per extension (with each such period to end at one minute after 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on the last Business Day of such period) (or such other duration as may be agreed in writing by the Parties) until all of the Offer Conditions have been satisfied or waived (to the extent that such waiver is permitted by applicable Laws); provided that:

the Offeror shall extend the Offer in accordance with Clause 3.4(c); and

the Offeror shall not be required to extend the Offer to a date later than the Long Stop Date.

The Offeror shall extend the Offer for any period required by any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC, the staff thereof (including in connection with the SEC’s continuing review of the Offeror Filing, including the Schedule 13E-3 or the Schedule 14D-9) or the NYSE, applicable to the Offer or as may be required by any other Governmental Entity; provided that the Offer shall not be extended pursuant to this Clause 3.4 to a date that is later than the Long Stop Date without the written consent of all the Parties.

The Offer may not be terminated by the Offeror prior to the Expiration Time (as the same may be extended pursuant to this Clause 3.4), unless this TFA is validly terminated pursuant to Clause 18. If this TFA is validly terminated pursuant to Clause 18, the Offeror shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours following such termination) terminate the Offer and not acquire any Tendered Shares pursuant thereto. If the Offer is terminated by the Offeror prior to the acceptance for payment and payment for Tendered Shares, the Offeror shall promptly (and in any event within two Business Days of such termination) return, and shall cause any depositary acting on behalf of the Offeror to return, in accordance with applicable Laws, all Tendered Shares to the registered holders thereof. Nothing in this Clause 3.4 shall affect any termination rights under Clause 18.

Acceptance Time and Closing

In accordance with the terms and conditions of this TFA and subject to the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent that such waiver is permitted by applicable Laws) of the Offer Conditions, the Offeror shall, at or as promptly as practicable following the Expiration Time, irrevocably accept for payment (the time of acceptance for payment, the Acceptance Time) and pay (by delivery of funds to the depositary for the Offer) for all Tendered Shares tendered as of the Acceptance Time (the Closing). The date on which Closing occurs is referred to in this TFA as the Closing Date. The Offer Consideration payable in respect of each Tendered Share pursuant to the first sentence of this Clause 3.5(a) shall be paid (without interest and less applicable withholding Taxes) on the terms and subject to the conditions of this TFA.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this TFA, each of the Offeror and any of its Affiliates or agents shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Offer Consideration payable to an Allego Shareholder such amounts as the Offeror or any of its Affiliates or agents may be required to deduct and withhold with respect to any such payment under applicable

If the payment of any of the Offer Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Tendered Shares are registered on the stockholder list described in Clause 3.7(a) as of the Stockholder List Date, it shall be a condition of payment that the Tendered Shares shall be endorsed properly or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such payment shall have paid all transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Offer Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Tendered Shares, or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Offeror that such transfer or other Taxes either have been paid or are not applicable. None of the Offeror or the Company shall have any liability for the transfer and other similar Taxes described in this Clause 3.5(c) under any circumstance.

The Company and its advisers shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Offer Documents (in case of the initial filing of each Offer Document, at least three Business Days before any such document is filed with the SEC), and the Offeror shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by the Company and its advisers.

The Offeror shall provide the Company and its advisers with (i) any comments or other communications, whether written or oral, that the Offeror or its advisers may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff or other Governmental Entities with respect to the Offeror Filing promptly after receipt of those comments or other communications; and (ii) a reasonable opportunity to provide comments on the response of the Offeror to those comments (to which reasonable and good faith consideration shall be given), in each case save to the extent that any such comments or other communications contain business secrets or other confidential or commercially sensitive information in relation to the Offeror or any of its Affiliates.

The Convertible Bonds shall be issued by the Company, and subscribed and paid for by the Offeror or its designated Affiliate, in tranches in accordance with the following indicative time schedule, subject to adjustments as may mutually be agreed upon by the Disinterested Directors and the Offeror, pursuant to reasonable and good faith discussions:

The characteristics of the Convertible Bonds shall be such that they qualify as equity/equity-like and are not taken into account in calculating the covenant ratios under the debt facilities of the Company existing at any given time.

The Convertible Bonds shall (unless previously redeemed or purchased and cancelled) be convertible, at the option of the holder of such Convertible Bonds, into newly issued Ordinary Shares upon the occurrence of

a sale by the Offeror, any of its Affiliates and any Tagging Shareholder in a Third Party Sale of a number of Ordinary Shares that, collectively, equals at least 5% of the Shares held by the Offeror and its Affiliates on the date of this TFA;

To the extent that one or more Convertible Bonds have not been converted in accordance with their terms on or after the third anniversary of the relevant Issuance Date, the Company may choose to redeem any or all of such Convertible Bonds in cash, in whole or in part, in an amount equal to the higher of: (A) the aggregate principal amount of such Convertible Bonds plus the accrued interest; or (B) the Minimum IRR Amount for such Convertible Bonds.

Minority Shareholders Liquidity Arrangements

General

no restrictions shall apply on any sale or transfer of, disposal of, creation of any interest, option, pledge or any other Encumbrance on (all or part of) the Ordinary Shares held by Allego Shareholders, except if such restrictions follow from the Articles of Association in effect as of the date of this TFA or applicable Laws;

if, at any time following the Delisting, the Offeror or any of its Affiliates wishes to, directly or indirectly, sell all or part of its Ordinary Shares to a third party, the Allego Shareholders shall have a priority tag along right, as further set out in Clause 9.3(b);

the Offeror shall assist the Company with the organisation of an auction sales process of Ordinary Shares for the Allego Shareholders within 18 months following the Delisting on a best-efforts basis. If any Ordinary Shares can be sold by the Allego Shareholders in such auction sales process, the Offeror shall, at the request of any Independent Director, sell (for the same consideration and otherwise under terms and conditions no less favourable than those applicable to the selling Allego Shareholders in such auction sales process) such part of its Ordinary Shares in such auction sale process in order to ensure that a minimum size of 5% of the Company’s issued share capital can be sold in such process with the purpose of making the process more (economically) attractive; and

prior to 31 December 2027, the Offeror shall initiate, and, if the Liquidity Event takes the form of an initial public offering of the Ordinary Shares, the Company shall organise with the Offeror’s assistance, a Liquidity Event, in each case on a best-efforts basis.

Priority Tag Along Right

If, at any time following the Delisting, the Offeror or any of its Affiliates (the Transferring Shareholder) wishes to sell all or part of its Ordinary Shares to a third party (the Third Party Sale), the Offeror shall, and shall procure that such Affiliate shall, first give written notice to the Allego Shareholders (a Tag Notice). A Tag Notice must:

specify the number of Ordinary Shares that the Transferring Shareholder proposes to sell, the proposed sale price per Ordinary Share (the Tag Sale Price) and any other material terms and conditions of the Third Party Sale (the Tag Sale Terms);

state the name of the envisaged third party acquirer in the Third Party Sale (the Tag Buyer);

state that each Allego Shareholder has an option (a Tag Option) to direct the Transferring Shareholder to require, as a condition of the Third Party Sale, that the Tag Buyer also buys all of the Ordinary Shares of the respective Allego Shareholder (the Tag Shares), at the Tag Sale Price and on terms no less favourable than the Tag Sale Terms (to the extent relevant for the sale of such Tag Shares and provided that no representations and warranties are given other than as set forth in Clause 9.3(b)(iii)(D));

specify a period, which must be at least twenty Business Days after receipt of the Tag Notice, during which recipients of a Tag Notice may exercise their Tag Options (the Tag Period); and

state the Transferring Shareholder’s reasonable best estimate of the date for completion of the sale of the Tag Shares if the Tag Option is exercised, which, unless otherwise agreed between the Transferring Shareholder and the respective Allego Shareholder who exercised its Tag Option, must be at least ten Business Days after the end of the Tag Period.

An Allego Shareholder may exercise a Tag Option (a Tagging Shareholder) by giving notice in writing to the Transferring Shareholder (with a copy to the Company) no later than 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on the last day of the Tag Period. Any exercise of a Tag Option is irrevocable, unless the Transferring Shareholder otherwise agrees in writing.

If an Allego Shareholder exercises its Tag Option in accordance with Clause 9.3(b)(ii), then:

the Offeror shall, or shall procure that the Transferring Shareholder shall, as applicable, reduce the number of Ordinary Shares envisaged to be sold by it in the Third Party Sale to the extent that the Tag Buyer wishes to purchase and acquire fewer Ordinary Shares than the number of Ordinary Shares that the Transferring Shareholder and all Tagging Shareholders collectively wish to sell and transfer in such Third Party Sale;

the Offeror shall, or shall procure that the Transferring Shareholder shall, as applicable, not complete the Third Party Sale unless at the same time the Tag Buyer buys and acquires each of the Tagging Shareholders’ Tag Shares at the Tag Sale Price and on the terms stated in the Tag Notice;

the Tagging Shareholder shall sell and transfer the Tag Shares to the Tag Buyer on the terms stated in the Tag Notice; and

the Tagging Shareholder shall warrant that it is transferring its Tag Shares free from all Encumbrances and together with all rights, benefits and advantages attached to them, except the right to any dividend declared but not paid prior to the date of the registration of such transfer.

If, at any time following the Delisting, any Ordinary Shares held by the Offeror or any of its Affiliates are sold to a third party indirectly, as a result of the sale or transfer of all or part of the shares or other ownership interests in the Offeror or such Affiliate, then the priority tag along right as set out in this Clause 9.3(b) shall apply mutatis mutandis; provided that the Tag Sale Price shall be the price per Ordinary Share implied in such Third Party Sale.

Corporate Governance, Strategy and Business Plan and Minority Shareholders Protective Arrangements in the event of a sale or transfer

such acquirer(s) shall, prior to such sale or transfer, commit to comply with Clauses 8.1 and 9.1 through (and including) 9.4 as if it were the Offeror until the earlier of (I) 31 December 2029 and (II) the Company ceasing to have Ordinary Shares held by Allego Shareholders; or

the priority tag along right as set forth in Clause 9.3(b) shall be applied with a Tag Sale Price that is no less than an amount that provides each Tagging Shareholder with a minimum IRR of 15% on USD 1.70 per Tag Share, calculated from the Closing Date.
