Thanks to this operation, whose enterprise value amounts to roughly € 100 million, the Hera Group confirms its position among Italy's leaders in recycling and developing a circular economy. Authorisation has been granted by the Italian antitrust authority (Autorità Garante della Concorrenza e del Mercato, AGCM) for the acquisition carried out by Herambiente, a company of the Hera Group and a nationwide leader in waste treatment and recovery, of the Treviso company Aliplast, an outstanding operator in the sector of plastic waste collection and recycling with subsequent regeneration. The implementation of the agreement, signed last 11 January by Herambiente and Aligroup S.r.l., was in fact subject to conditions that are the norm for similar operations, among which gaining authorisation for the acquisition from antitrust authorities. As foreseen by the agreement, Herambiente and Aliplast will therefore undertake all that is required to purchase 40% of Aliplast's shares in the upcoming weeks. A further 40% will be acquired within March 2018 and the remaining 20% within June 2022. The operation's enterprise value, it should be recalled, amounts to roughly € 100 million and implies an EV/EBITDA multiple of approximately 6.5, non-dilutive for Hera shareholders. This important operation, complementary to those finalised in late 2015 involving Waste Recycling (Castelfranco di Sotto, Pisa) and the environmental assets of Geo Nova (Treviso) as well as the more recent acquisition of the Teseco plants (Pisa), is part of a move to enlarge the geographical area in which the Hera Group operates, initiated some years ago and in line with the Group's strategies of territorial expansion and integration. Falling under the objective of developing a green model, towards which the Hera Group has actively contributed over its entire history, the acquisition of Aliplast furthermore consolidates Herambiente's market presence with a distinctive and unique element, in line with the principles of a circular economy in which waste is transformed into resources. Herambiente is among the first companies in the waste sector to have decided to take on the challenges raised by changes currently taking place in the world of industry. It is thus able to place activities such as waste recovery, treatment and disposal alongside others that call for the utmost efficiency in resource management. It is also able to offer strategic advice concerning resource lifecycle productivity in order to accelerate and facilitate the achievement of 2030 sustainability goals. These are, incidentally, objectives that Herambiente has already achieved in the areas it serves in managing urban waste, of which only 8.5% was disposed of in landfills in 2015. Established in 1982 by Roberto Alibardi and operating out of Ospedaletto di Istrana (Treviso), Aliplast is a national centre of excellence in plastic industrial waste collection and recycling and regenerated polymer production, with over 80,000 tonnes of plastic materials recycled every year. It was the first enterprise in Italy to fully integrate the entire lifecycle of plastic, from environmental services in managing and collecting industrial packaging and residues to production and market sales of manufactured goods and packaging materials, produced with plastic recycled by the company itself. Over three hundred employees work for Aliplast, distributed among its five plants located in Italy and three found abroad (Spain, France and Poland). Its main clients include the most important Italian brands involved in food & beverages, home furnishings and ceramics. 870_Aliplast.1501171634.jpg http://ha.gruppohera.it/ Herambiente CS_20170306_da_Antitrust_ad_acquisizione_Aliplast_eng.1488967654.pdf 2017-03-06 18:21:00 Hera Group: control of Aliplast reaches 80% 2017-03-06

Thanks to the purchase made by Group subsidiary Waste Recycling of the plant sector of the Pisa company Teseco, a primary figure in industrial waste treatment and recovery, Herambiente, a national leader in this sector, will further expand its commercial offer and enlarge its already significant range of plants. Waste Recycling, a Tuscan company belonging to the Hera Group and 100% controlled by Herambiente, has purchased the plant sector of Teseco. The company is based in Pisa, and is a leading actor in industrial waste treatment and recovery with over 30 years of experience in the sector of special waste and innovative plants (spread out over an overall area of 126,000 m2, over 30,000 of which are covered). The purchase was conducted by Group subsidiary Waste Recycling, given that the latter has been managing for over 25 years, and with similar efficiency, complementary types of treatment in its production plants in Santa Croce sull'Arno and Castelfranco di Sotto, in the province of Pisa. This operation allows, on the one hand, a considerable segment of production in the Pisa area to be conserved and maintained active, and on the other enlarges both Herambiente's overall set of plants and the services it offers to its clients, reinforcing its leadership in waste treatment and recovery. It is furthermore part of a larger goal, which consists in broadening the Hera Group's operational area, initiated years ago and in line with the Group's strategy of geographical expansion and integration. By way of its authorisations, the quantity of waste it is able to manage, and the treatments plants at its disposal, Waste Recycling, with this operation, confirms its status as one of the nation's most important actors in the sector of industrial waste, enriching and rounding off the numerous services it offers to middle and large companies. At the same time, Herambiente will further increase its own client portfolio, through this preference given to commercial reinforcement in a region in which it is already active.
