  2. The prospectus of the Offer, which was authorized by the Spanish National Securities Market
    Commission on March 28, 2019, included in section 4.10 of chapter IV thereof Tasty's statement regarding its intention, if the requirements for the squeeze-out right were not met, to promote the delisting of the Company's shares, in accordance with the exception to the delisting tender offer provided in Article 11.d) of Royal Decree 1066/2007.
    In this respect, the aforementioned section literally pointed out as follows:
    "The Offering Company intends to delist Telepizza's shares either by exercising the squeeze-out right, if the relevant requirements are met, or, failing that, promoting the delisting of the Telepizza shares pursuant to the exemption set out in Article 11.d) of Royal Decree 1066/2007.
    In the latter case, once the Offer has been settled, the Offering Company will call an extraordinary general shareholders' meeting of Telepizza in order to approve the delisting of all the shares in
    Telepizza and will facilitate the sale of the Telepizza shares by means of a sustained purchase order for all the outstanding shares, for a minimum 1-month period.
