This half-year report of European Healthcare Acquisition & Growth Company B.V. (the "Company") for the first six months of its financial year 2023 consists of the interim report of the board of directors of the Company (the "Board" and such report the "Interim Board Report"), including the responsibility statement, other mandatory statements by the Board, the unaudited interim condensed financial statements of the Company (the "Interim Financial Statements") and the accompanying notes (the "Half-YearReport").

1. ABOUT EUROPEAN HEALTHCARE ACQUISITION & GROWTH COMPANY B.V.

1.1. General

European Healthcare Acquisition & Growth Company B.V. was incorporated on 9 July 2021 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, as a Dutch operators-led special purpose acquisition company incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands as a private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) with its business address in Munich, Germany.

The Company's Class A Ordinary Shares (as defined below) were admitted to listing and trading on Euronext Amsterdam (the "Admission"), the regulated market operated by Euronext Amsterdam N.V. ("Euronext Amsterdam") on 18 November 2021 pursuant to a private placement (the "Private Placement") in which it raised €200 million in gross proceeds (the "Proceeds") in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the Company's prospectus which was issued on 16 November 2021 (the "Prospectus"). Payment for the Class A Ordinary Shares and the Public Warrants (as defined below) ("Settlement") took place on 22 November 2021 (the "Settlement Date").

The Company has been established for the purpose of entering into a business combination with an operating business in the form of a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganisation or similar business combination with, or acquisition of, one or more target companies or businesses with the purpose of creating a single business (a "Business Combination"). The Company intends to focus on companies or businesses with principal operations in Europe in the healthcare sector, with a special focus on the subsectors Biotechnology and Specialty Pharma, Pharma Services, Medical Technology and Medical Devices, Diagnostic and Lab Services, Bioinformatics as well as Life Science Tools (the "Specific Healthcare Sectors"). The Company intends to acquire the shares in one or more target companies and subsequently provide management services to the target(s) for remuneration.

Pursuant to the Prospectus, EHC has until 17 November 2023 to complete a business combination (the "Business Combination Deadline").

If the Company intends to complete a Business Combination, it will convene a general meeting and propose the Business Combination for consideration and approval by the Class A Ordinary Shareholders (as defined below) and the holders of Founder Shares (as defined below) (the "Business Combination EGM"). The resolution to effect a Business Combination will require the prior approval by a majority of at least (i) a simple majority of the votes cast or (ii) in the event that the Business Combination is structured as a merger, a two-thirds majority of the votes cast if less than half of the issued share capital is present or represented at the Business Combination EGM.

Since the Private Placement, the Board has been focusing on finding the right target company for the Company. The Board has had early-stage as well as more advanced discussions with a number of potential target companies. As disclosed on 22 December 2022, the Company entered into a business combination agreement with Croma-Pharma GmbH ("Croma") and the Croma shareholders (the "Business Combination Agreement"). EHC decided to remove the voting items on the agenda of the general meeting of 27 June 2023 relating to the entering into and approval of the business combination with Croma. This decision was based on the results of the redemption period and secured private investments in public equity ("PIPE") proceeds as well as further discussions with potential investors, EHC's shareholders, Croma and the Croma shareholders. Such discussions did not result in sufficient PIPE proceeds or a further amendment of the minimum cash condition. Eventually, EHC, Croma and the Croma shareholders decided on 7 August 2023 to terminate the Business Combination Agreement and their discussions due to differing views on the valuation of Croma at that moment. At the date of this Half-Year Report, the Company has not yet selected a new target company that could be proposed to the Business Combination EGM.

On 20 September 2023 the Board announced that it intends to convene an extraordinary general meeting to request EHC's shareholders to extend the Business Combination Deadline. The Board furthermore announced that it will launch a redemption offer for the Class A Ordinary Shares and seek the approval of the holders of the Public Warrants (as defined below) to have the Public Warrants expire worthless immediately following the initial Business Combination Deadline, i.e. 17 November 2023. Upon expiry of the Public Warrants the Sponsors (as defined below) will forfeit their Sponsor Warrants (as defined below).
