Stevanato Group is offering 6,350,000 ordinary shares (the “Company Offering”), and Stevanato Holding S.r.l., an affiliate and major shareholder of the Company (the “Selling Shareholder”), which currently holds approximately 78% of Stevanato Group’s outstanding ordinary shares, is offering 6,350,000 ordinary shares (the “Selling Shareholder Offering” and, together with the Company Offering, the “Offering”). Stevanato Group and the Selling Shareholder have granted the underwriters an option, exercisable for 30 days after the date of the final prospectus supplement, to purchase up to 1,905,000 additional ordinary shares on the same terms and conditions.

The total gross proceeds from the Offering, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses, are expected to be approximately $330 million, excluding any exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares.

Stevanato Group intends to use the net proceeds from the Company Offering for general corporate purposes, including to enable Stevanato Group to satisfy the requirements of its ongoing investment activities and working capital needs, and to ensure an appropriate level of operating and strategic flexibility. Stevanato Group will not receive any proceeds from the Selling Shareholder Offering. The Offering is expected to close on March 26, 2024, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
