Dear CDI Holder Marley Spoon SE – Small Holdings Offer from Marley Spoon Group SE to acquire up to 10,000 CDIs per CDI Holder On Monday 4 September 2023, Marley Spoon SE (ARBN 625 684 068) (Marley Spoon) announced that Marley Spoon Group SE (previously known as 468 SPAC II SE, listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and trading under ticker MS1.DE) (MSG), a significant shareholder of Marley Spoon, is making an unconditional, off-market, direct offer to acquire up to 10,000 CHESS depositary interests over fully paid ordinary shares in Marley Spoon (CDIs) from each Marley Spoon CDI holder at a cash price of A$0.11 per CDI (Small Holdings Offer). As announced by Marley Spoon on 12 July 2023, MSG closed its Business Combination Agreement with Marley Spoon, resulting in MSG acquiring approximately 84% of the issued capital of Marley Spoon from its significant shareholders, in exchange for shares in MSG. Under the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, following closing of the Business Combination, MSG agreed to make a subsequent unconditional off-market, direct tender offer to remaining Marley Spoon CDI holders to acquire their CDIs in exchange for the same consideration as received by Marley Spoon's significant securityholders participating in the Business Combination (Subsequent Tender Offer). It is the intention of MSG to make the Subsequent Tender Offer in late September or early October 2023. The MSG Supervisory Board is mindful that there are many Marley Spoon CDI holders who hold less than 10,000 CDIs, and therefore may prefer to sell their CDIs for cash instead of exchanging these small parcels of CDIs for shares in a Frankfurt-listed entity. MSG is therefore offering all CDI holders as at the Record Date, being 7:00pm (Sydney, Australia time) on Friday, 1 September 2023 (Eligible CDI Holders) the opportunity to receive cash for the first 10,000 CDIs held by each Eligible CDI Holder at a price of A$0.11 per CDI (being a total maximum consideration of A$1,100 per Eligible CDI Holder, subject to rounding) (Small Holdings Offer Consideration).[1] The Small Holdings Offer is free from conditions[2] and represents a premium of 31% compared to the closing price per CDI of A$0.08 on the Record Date. If you accept the Small Holdings Offer and in the event that the Subsequent Tender Offer includes a cash alternative offering a higher price per CDI than the Small Holdings Offer Consideration you will receive as a conditional payment for each CDI which MSG acquired from you under the Small Holdings Offer any difference in price between the Small Holdings Offer Consideration and the cash consideration offered under the Subsequent Tender Offer. Please note that there is no guarantee that the Subsequent Tender Offer will include any cash alternative. More detail is provided in Marley Spoon’s announcement of the Small Holdings Offer lodged with the Australian Securities Exchange on Monday, 4 September 2023. We are writing to you as an Eligible CDI Holder, entitled to participate in the Small Holdings Offer. How to access the Small Holdings Offer

2. Chairman's Letter
Dear Marley Spoon CDI Holder,
Small Holdings Offer to acquire up to 10,000 CDIs per CDI Holder
On behalf of Marley Spoon Group SE (MSG, or the Offeror), I am pleased to enclose an offer from MSG to acquire from each CDI Holder up to 10,000 of the CDIs you hold in Marley Spoon SE (Marley Spoon), at a price of $0.11 per CDI (the Small Holdings Offer).
Background
On 11 July 2023, MSG (previously known as 468 SPAC II SE) listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and is trading under ticker MS1.DE. Shortly before said listing, on 6 July 2023, MSG closed its Business Combination Agreement with Marley Spoon (the entity which you hold CDIs in, listed on the Australian Securities Exchange and trading under ticker ASX:MMM), resulting in MSG acquiring a total of approximately 84% of the issued capital of Marley Spoon from its significant securityholders, in exchange for shares in MSG (the Business Combination).
The Business Combination provided Marley Spoon with access to $75m of new capital (including escrowed funds held by MSG invested by original 468 SPAC II investors, and prior to costs), in addition to a reduction and renegotiation of the terms of Marley Spoon's existing Runway debt facility to provide it headroom to navigate a challenging operating environment. It also established a pathway to simplify the operating and regulatory structure of Marley Spoon towards a single listing of the group on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
Under the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, following closing of the Business Combination, MSG agreed to make a subsequent unconditional off-market, direct tender offer to remaining Marley Spoon CDI holders to acquire their CDIs in exchange for the same consideration as received by Marley Spoon's significant securityholders participating in the Business Combination. This consideration being a certain number of MSG shares, determined by dividing the valuation of CDIs at A$0.21 by the fixed valuation of €10.00 per MSG share, but based on the prevailing EUR/AUD exchange rate shortly prior to the offer and irrespective of the trading value of MSG shares at that time (the offer being the Subsequent Tender Offer). It is the intention of MSG to make the Subsequent Tender Offer in late September or early October 2023.
Small Holdings Offer
The MSG Supervisory Board is mindful that there are many CDI Holders who hold 10,000 CDIs or less, and therefore may not wish to exchange these small parcels of CDIs for shares in a Frankfurt-listed entity. MSG is therefore offering all CDI Holders the opportunity to receive cash for the first 10,000 CDIs held by each CDI Holder at a price of $0.11 per CDI (being a total maximum consideration of A$1,100 per CDI holder) (Small Holdings Offer Consideration)[4].
The Small Holdings Offer is free from conditions[5] and represents a premium of 31% to the ASX Closing Price per CDI of $0.08 on 1 September 2023, and provides liquidity and certainty of value, with no brokerage fees if you choose to accept it.
If you accept the Small Holdings Offer, in the event that the Subsequent Tender Offer includes a cash alternative offering a higher price per CDI than the Small Holdings Offer Consideration, you will receive as a conditional payment for each CDI which the Offeror acquired from you under the Small Holdings Offer, any difference in price between the Small Holdings Offer Consideration and the cash consideration offered under the Subsequent Tender Offer. This payment will be made within 10 Business Days of completion of the Subsequent Tender Offer.
Subsequent Tender Offer
If you do not wish to accept the Small Holdings Offer, you may wait to participate in the Subsequent Tender Offer. Accepting the Subsequent Tender Offer, when made, will provide you with the opportunity to continue on the Marley Spoon journey by becoming a shareholder of Frankfurt-listed MSG.
Alternatively, if you do not wish to accept the Small Holdings Offer, or the Subsequent Tender Offer, you should be aware that it is the intention of MSG to ultimately delist Marley Spoon from the ASX in order to achieve a simplified operating and regulatory structure for the group. If you do not accept the Small Holdings Offer, or the Subsequent Tender Offer, a delisting of Marley Spoon from the ASX may result in you holding shares in an unlisted Marley Spoon, with no public trading market for these shares.
Accepting the Small Holdings Offer
Detailed information in relation to the Small Holdings Offer is set out in this document. The members of the MSG Supervisory Board encourage you to read this document in full for further details about the Small Holdings Offer, its terms, and MSG. You are encouraged to seek any independent financial, legal, taxation or other professional advice that you require before making a decision as to whether or not to accept the Small Holdings Offer. To accept the Small Holdings Offer, you should follow the instructions in section 7 of Schedule 1 to this document. If you have any questions in relation to the Small Holdings Offer or how to accept it, or you are unable to access the Acceptance Form, please call the Offer Information Line on 1300 188 463 (within Australia) or +61 1300 188 463 (from outside of Australia) from 9:00am – 5:00pm (Sydney, Australia time) on Business Days.
We look forward to your participation in this Small Holdings Offer and / or Subsequent Tender Offer, and again, encourage you to seek any professional advice that you require in respect of your individual investment objectives, financial or tax situation before making an investment decision.
Yours sincerely,
Christian Gisy Chairman of MSG
3. Frequently asked questions
The following questions and answers are intended to assist in your understanding of the Small Holdings Offer. These should be read together with the detailed information contained elsewhere in this document, and you should ensure that you read this document in full before making any investment decision.
4. Reasons to accept the Small Holdings Offer and other considerations
4.1 Reasons to accept the Small Holdings Offer The key attractions of the Small Holdings Offer are summarised below:
(a) The Small Holdings Offer implies a premium to the CDI price today: The Small Holdings Offer Consideration of $0.11 per CDI represents a premium of 31% to the last ASX Closing Price on 1 September 2023[8] (being the Market Value).
(b) The Small Holdings Offer provides cash certainty and removes your exposure to the risks and uncertainties associated with holding CDIs: The Small Holdings Offer provides cash consideration for up to 10,000 of your CDIs, delivering liquidity and certainty for this portion of your holding.
(c) You will receive the benefit of any subsequent higher cash offer forming part of the Subsequent Tender Offer: In the event that you accept this Small Holdings Offer and the Subsequent Tender Offer contains a cash alternative for a higher cash price, you will receive as a conditional payment for each CDI which the Offeror acquired from you under the Small Holdings Offer, the difference (if any) in price between the Small Holdings Offer Consideration and the cash consideration offered under the Subsequent Tender Offer.
(d) Avoid holding unlisted equity: If MSG satisfies the necessary ASX delisting requirements, it intends to request that Marley Spoon apply to delist from the ASX. If Marley Spoon delists from the ASX, you will hold shares in an unlisted Marley Spoon, with no public market to sell your Marley Spoon shares.
(e) Limited costs: No brokerage is payable by CDI Holders who accept the Small Holdings Offer.
4.2 Other Considerations There are some other considerations for CDI Holders when deciding whether to accept the Small Holdings Offer, including:
(a) You may wish to consider the Subsequent Tender Offer of shares in MSG: You may wish to continue on the Marley Spoon journey and exchange all of your CDIs for shares in Frankfurt-listed MSG. MSG’s current intention is to launch the Subsequent Tender Offer in late September or early October 2023.
(b) You may wish to continue holding your Marley Spoon investment as a listed CDI on the ASX: Accepting the Small Holdings Offer will result in up to 10,000 of your CDIs being sold to MSG, in return for a cash consideration (the Small Holdings Offer Consideration).
You may choose to continue to hold your ASX-listed CDIs, which following completion of the Small Holdings Offer and Subsequent Tender Offer, may be subject to several possible outcomes, as outlined below:
(c) You may wish to sell your CDIs direct on market: You may wish to realise your investment in Marley Spoon through a sale on the ASX if you expect proceeds may be higher and received sooner than the Small Holdings Offer.
If you sell your CDIs on market, you:
(d) You may consider that there is potential for a superior proposal to emerge: You may believe that a superior proposal for your CDIs may emerge in the future. CDI Holders who have accepted the Small Holdings Offer will not be able to withdraw their acceptance in order to accept a superior proposal. Please note that the Small Holdings Offer already includes a provision that would entitle you to receive as a conditional payment the difference in price (if any, to the extent that the Subsequent Tender Offer offers a higher cash price per CDI than the Small Holdings Offer) between the Small Holdings Offer Consideration and any cash consideration offered under the Subsequent Tender Offer.
(e) The tax consequences of the Small Holdings Offer may not be favourable to you given your financial position: Acceptance of the Small Holdings Offer may have tax implications for CDI Holders. CDI Holders should consult with their own independent taxation advisers regarding the taxation implications of accepting the Small Holdings Offer given their particular circumstances. - Small Holdings Offer Terms 1 Key Dates for this Small Holdings Offer 1.1 This Small Holdings Offer is made on, and commences from 4 September 2023 (Offer Date). 1.2 If you would like to accept this Small Holdings Offer, you must accept the terms of this Small Holdings Offer by 5:00 p.m. (Sydney, Australia time) on 4 October 2023 (or such later date as may be determined by the Offeror) (Offer Close Date). 1.3 This Small Holdings Offer will complete and all CDI Holders who validly accept this Small Holdings Offer will be paid their consideration on or before the date that is 10 Business Days following the later of the Offer Close Date, or the date on which any conditions precedent imposed in accordance with section 3 of this schedule have been satisfied or waived, as applicable. 2 Consideration and Terms of this Small Holdings Offer 2.1 Subject to the terms of this Small Holdings Offer, the Offeror is offering each CDI Holder the opportunity to receive the amount of $0.11 per CDI for up to the first 10,000 CDIs held by each CDI Holder as at the Record Date (the Small Holdings Offer Consideration), in accordance with section 2.2 of this schedule. 2.2 For CDI Holders who hold: (a) more than 10,000 CDIs, the Small Holdings Offer will extend only to the first 10,000 CDIs held by that CDI Holder, and may only be accepted for the first 10,000 CDIs held by that CDI Holder; and (b) 10,000 or less CDIs, the Small Holdings Offer will extend to all CDIs held by that CDI Holder, and may only be accepted for all (and not some) of the CDIs held by that CDI Holder. 2.3 Where a calculation of Small Holdings Offer Consideration would result in a CDI Holder becoming entitled to a fraction of a cent: (a) where the entitlement is to half a cent or more, the fractional entitlement will be rounded up to the nearest whole cent; and (b) where the entitlement is to less than half a cent, the fractional entitlement will be rounded down to the nearest whole cent. 2.4 Each CDI Holder may accept this Small Holdings Offer for the number of CDIs specified in section 2.2 of this schedule, such CDIs being the Accepted CDIs. 2.5 Any attempted acceptance of the Small Holdings Offer by a CDI Holder in relation to CDIs which are not the Accepted CDIs will not be valid and will be disregarded by the Offeror. 2.6 The Small Holdings Offer Consideration represents a premium to CDI Holders, being approximately $0.03 higher than the ASX Closing Price per CDI of $0.08 on 1 September 2023 (Market Value).
