The information contained in this announcement speaks only as at the date of this announcement, and subject to applicable law or regulation neither The Magnum Ice Cream Company N.V. nor any member of its group (together, the “Group”) has, or accepts, any responsibility or duty to update any such information, document or announcement and reserves the right to add to, remove or amend any information reproduced in this announcement at any time.

This announcement may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including forward-looking statements concerning the financial condition, results of operations and businesses of the Group. All statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. Words such as “will”, “aim”, “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “looks”, “believes”, “vision”, “ambition”, “target”, “goal”, “plan”, “potential”, “work towards”, “may”, “milestone”, “objectives”, “outlook”, “probably”, “project”, “risk”, “seek”, “continue”, “projected”, “estimate”, “achieve” or the negative of these terms, and other similar expressions of future performance or results and their negatives, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements also include, but are not limited to, statements and information regarding the Group’s future financial performance, the Group’s supply chain transformation programme, and emissions reduction targets and other climate change related matters (including actions, potential impacts and risks associated therewith).

These forward-looking statements are based upon current expectations and assumptions regarding anticipated developments and other factors affecting the Group. They are not historical facts, nor are they guarantees of future performance or outcomes. All forward-looking statements contained in this announcement are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this announcement. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Because these forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, a number of which may be beyond the Group’s control, there are important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. As a consequence, these forward-looking statements should be considered in light of various important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates or projections contained in the forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements are based on the Group’s beliefs, assumptions and expectations of its future performance, taking into account all information currently available to the Group. Forward-looking statements are not predictions of future events. The Group cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will be realised, although it believes it has been prudent in its plans and assumptions. These beliefs, assumptions, and expectations can change as a result of many possible events or factors, not all of which are known to the Group. If a change occurs, the Group’s business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations may vary materially from those expressed in the Group’s forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date that they are made. Except as required by any applicable law or regulation, the Group expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in the Group’s expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. New risks and uncertainties arise over time, and it is not possible for the Group to predict those events or how they may affect it. In addition, the Group cannot assess the impact of each factor on its business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
