from registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. The

U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States
except pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration. No public offering of securities

All persons residing outside of the United States, Australia,

This announcement does not constitute or form part of any offer or
invitation to sell, or any
solicitation of any offer to purchase. It is an advertisement and not a prospectus for the
purposes of the Prospectus Directive. Any purchase of securities of Sif pursuant to the proposed
offering should only be made on the basis of information that will be contained in the formal
prospectus to be issued in due course in connection with the proposed offering (the
“Prospectus”), to be approved by the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (Stichting
Autoriteit Financiële Markten), and any supplement or amendment thereto. The Prospectus will
contain detailed information about Sif and its management, as well as financial statements and
other financial data. The Prospectus, when published, will be available at www.sif-group.com.
When made generally available, copies of the prospectus may be
obtained at no cost through Sif’s
website. It may be unlawful to distribute these materials in certain jurisdictions.
In any EEA Member State, other than the Netherlands, that has
implemented Directive 2003/71/EC,
as amended (together with any applicable implementing measures in any Member State, the
"Prospectus Directive"), this communication is only addressed to and is only directed at
qualified investors in that Member State within the meaning of the Prospectus Directive.
This website has been prepared on the basis that any offer of
shares in any Member State of the
EEA other than offers (the “Permitted Public Offers”) which are made prior to the issue date or
such later date as Sif may permit, and which are contemplated in the Prospectus in the
Netherlands once the Prospectus has been approved by the competent authority in the Netherlands
and published in accordance with the Prospectus Directive, and in respect of which Sif has
consented in writing to the use of the Prospectus, will be made pursuant to an exemption under
the Prospectus Directive from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of the shares.
Accordingly any person making or intending to make any offer in that Member State of shares
which are the subject of the offering contemplated in this document, other than the Permitted
Public Offers, may only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for Sif or any of
the managers to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive or
supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive, in each case, in
relation to such offer. Neither Sif nor any of the managers have authorised, nor do they
authorise, the making of any offer (other than Permitted Public Offers) of shares in
circumstances in which an obligation arises for Sif or any manager to publish or supplement a
prospectus for such offer. The expression "Prospectus Directive" means Directive 2003/71/EC, and
includes any relevant implementing measure in the Member State concerned.

statements. The forward looking statements contained in this announcement speak only as of the
date of this document. Sif, the selling shareholder, and the managers expressly disclaim any
obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward looking
