QIAGEN and EQT Private Equity announce agreement on a recommended voluntary

all-cash public takeover offer

* QIAGEN and EQT Private Equity agree on an all-cash public takeover offer

for all outstanding QIAGEN shares at an offer price of EUR46.50 per share,

a premium of 40.3% to the unaffected share price

* Following a comprehensive review of strategic options, QIAGEN's

Supervisory Board and Managing Board fully support the transaction and

agreed to unanimously recommend acceptance of the Takeover Offer

* QIAGEN to be better positioned to deliver on its full potential in a

private setting, while shareholders benefit from an attractive all-cash

premium and certain value

* Closing expected in mid-2027, subject to, inter alia, a minimum

acceptance threshold of 50% of the outstanding share capital plus one

QIAGEN share and customary regulatory clearances

Venlo and Amsterdam, the Netherlands, 21 October 2026 - QIAGEN N.V. (NYSE:

QGEN; Frankfurt Prime Standard: QIA) ("QIAGEN" or the "Company") and the EQT

XI fund ("EQT Private Equity") today announced an agreement under which

Crown NL Bidco B.V. (the "Bidder") announced its decision to make an

all-cash voluntary public takeover offer for the acquisition of all

outstanding QIAGEN shares at EUR46.50 per share (the "Takeover Offer").

The Bidder is a holding company indirectly controlled by EQT XI fund with

further indirect participations held by co-investors Luxinva S.A. (a

wholly-owned subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA)), and

CPP Investment Board Europe Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Canada

Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments)). EQT Private Equity is

managed and controlled by affiliates of EQT AB with registered seat in

Stockholm, Sweden ("EQT").

The Takeover Offer follows a comprehensive review by QIAGEN's Supervisory

Board and Managing Board (together the "QIAGEN Boards") that assessed

QIAGEN's strategic prospects and included discussions with both strategic

and financial parties. The QIAGEN Boards believe the transaction will

provide the best environment for QIAGEN's next growth phase, giving QIAGEN

greater flexibility to invest for the long term under private ownership

while providing shareholders with attractive and certain cash value.

The Bidder will offer QIAGEN shareholders EUR46.50 in cash for each QIAGEN

share (the "Offer Price"), which represents an attractive premium of 40.3%

to the XETRA closing price of EUR33.15 per QIAGEN share on 8 July 2026, the

last trading day prior to the publication of market reports regarding

takeover interest from private equity firms, and 46.9% to the three-month

volume-weighted average price (VWAP) on XETRA of EUR31.66 per QIAGEN share up

to and including 8 July 2026.

The transaction values QIAGEN at approximately EUR10.8 billion in enterprise

value (approximately $12.1 billion at current exchange rates, including

approximately $1.1 billion of net debt).

Strategic review supports proposed transaction and partnership with EQT

Private Equity

The QIAGEN Boards unanimously concluded that the transaction is in the best

interest of QIAGEN and its business, taking into account the interests of

QIAGEN's stakeholders.

Stephen H. Rusckowski, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of QIAGEN, said:

"This transaction offers shareholders compelling value while positioning

QIAGEN for its next phase of development under private ownership. After

considering QIAGEN's stand-alone strategic prospects and the alternatives

available through discussions with strategic and financial parties, we

unanimously concluded that this is the best path forward for QIAGEN, its

shareholders and other stakeholders."

Jonathan M. Pratt, Chief Executive Officer of QIAGEN, said: "Since joining

QIAGEN, I have seen firsthand the quality of our people, technologies and

customer relationships. I also see clear opportunities to build on those

strengths and do more for customers. Under private ownership, we can move

faster and have greater freedom to put resources behind the most attractive

opportunities that align best with our long-term strategy. That can help us

grow the business in line with our priorities and create more opportunities

for our people to innovate, develop their careers and help shape the future

of QIAGEN."

Roland Sackers, Chief Financial Officer of QIAGEN, said: "This agreement

provides our shareholders with an attractive premium while giving QIAGEN a

strong partner that shares our strategic priorities and vision for the

future. With EQT's support and resources, we will strengthen our ability to

pursue new opportunities and expand our capabilities, building on the

excellent foundation our teams have created."

Matteo Thun-Hohenstein, Partner at EQT, said: "QIAGEN is an outstanding

global leader in the life science tools and diagnostics market. We have

closely followed the Company for many years and long admired the

long-standing reputation and positive impact of its products and services,

enabling customers to advance cutting-edge science, improve patient outcomes

and gain valuable insights from biological samples. QIAGEN's management team

and employees have built an exceptional company with a portfolio of highly

attractive products and respected brands, strong market positions and

considerable technical expertise. EQT brings deep sector experience, a

global network and operational capabilities, and we are proud to partner

with QIAGEN's highly talented and capable employees to further invest in

QIAGEN's continued product innovation and growth."

Michael Bauer, Global Co-Head of Healthcare at EQT, said: "This is a

landmark transaction for EQT and a powerful reflection of the deep sector

understanding, investment experience and network of expertise we have built

over the last three decades. QIAGEN sits at the heart of modern life

sciences and diagnostics, and we are thrilled to partner with it. We are

proud to be investing alongside ADIA and CPP Investments, whose long-term

perspective and experience with large-scale transactions make them

outstanding partners."

Long-term ownership to support QIAGEN's strategy

As part of the Business Combination Agreement (the "BCA"), EQT Private

Equity has agreed to support QIAGEN's long-term development, including

commitments relating to QIAGEN's strategy, business, key brands, operational

footprint, R&D activities, employee arrangements, prudent financing and

culture of excellence. Following completion of the transaction, QIAGEN will

continue to operate under the QIAGEN name and brand.

EQT is one of the world's leading active ownership investors, with EUR354

billion in assets under management and a three-decade track record of

developing and future-proofing companies. EQT brings deep healthcare and

life sciences experience, supported by around 100 investment professionals

across 15 countries, with over EUR30bn invested across more than 210 companies

in Healthcare globally. Its current and former portfolio companies include

SPT Labtech, Galderma, Parexel, Aldevron, Dako and HemoCue. These

investments underscore strong sector experience across life sciences that

are complementary to QIAGEN's business focus.

Transaction summary and approvals

The QIAGEN Boards unanimously approved the BCA and support the transaction.

The QIAGEN Boards have carefully considered the Takeover Offer and certain

corporate measures to be implemented after closing of the Takeover Offer

that will enable the Bidder to acquire full ownership of the entire business

of QIAGEN (the "Post-Closing Measures").

Under the terms of and subject to the conditions of the BCA, the QIAGEN

Boards will recommend that QIAGEN shareholders tender their shares into the

Takeover Offer and vote in favor of the resolutions relating to the

Post-Closing Measures and associated governance matters at an Extraordinary

General Meeting to be held during the initial acceptance period (the "EGM").

Their formal recommendation will be published in a position statement after

the Bidder publishes the offer document (the "Offer Document").

The Takeover Offer will be subject to a minimum acceptance threshold of 50%

of the Company's outstanding share capital plus one share, the adoption of

certain resolutions at the EGM, including approval of the Post-Closing

Measures, the adoption of a separate decision by the QIAGEN Boards to

implement the Post-Closing Measures (the "Implementation Decision"), merger

control and foreign investment clearances, and certain further conditions,

which will be set forth in the Offer Document.

The implementation of the Post-Closing Measures will result in the Bidder

acquiring full ownership of the entire business of the Company, and all

shareholders of QIAGEN who have not accepted the Takeover Offer receiving a

cash distribution in an amount per share equal to the Offer Price less

applicable withholding taxes, which may result in a lower net amount being

received than if such shareholders had accepted the Takeover Offer. In

connection with the implementation of the Post-Closing Measures, the

listings of QIAGEN shares on the FSE and the NYSE will be terminated.

Under the BCA, the QIAGEN Boards will take the Implementation Decision if

the Post-Closing Measures have been approved at the EGM by at least 80% of

the votes cast. Otherwise, the QIAGEN Boards may still take the

Implementation Decision if they determine, in accordance with their

fiduciary duties, that proceeding with the transaction, including the

Post-Closing Measures, is in the best interest of QIAGEN, taking into

account the interests of its shareholders and other stakeholders and subject

to the support of a substantial majority of its shareholder base.

In determining whether the transaction has the support of a substantial

majority of its shareholder base and whether the voting results provide a

balanced reflection of the underlying shareholder support, the QIAGEN Boards

may consider, amongst other things, the percentage of votes cast in favor of

the Post-Closing Measures, attendance at the EGM, as well as the number of

votes cast in favor of the Post-Closing Measures by longer-term shareholders

compared to those who acquired shares subsequent to the announcement with

the aim of frustrating the transaction or pursuing event-driven hedge fund

strategies.

Closing of the Takeover Offer is currently expected in mid-2027. If closing

has not occurred within 10 months of the date of this announcement because

required regulatory approvals remain pending, QIAGEN may elect under the BCA

to pay shareholders an interim dividend of up to $0.47 per share. Any such

interim dividend would not be deducted from the Offer Price.

Until closing of the Takeover Offer, QIAGEN will continue to operate as an

independent company under its current management.

Next steps

The Takeover Offer will be made pursuant to the terms and conditions set out

in the Offer Document to be approved by the German Federal Financial

Supervisory Authority ("Bafin"). The Offer Document will be published

following clearance by Bafin, at which point the acceptance period for the

Takeover Offer will commence. On the same date, the Bidder will commence the

Takeover Offer in the United States and file a tender offer statement on

Schedule TO with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The

Offer Document (in German and a non-binding English translation) and other

information pertaining to the Takeover Offer will be made available in

accordance with the German Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act

(Wertpapiererwerbs-

und Übernahmegesetz - WpÜG) on the Bidder's website at www.eqt-offer.com,

and the Schedule TO and related filings will be available through the SEC's

website at www.sec.gov.

EQT Private Equity has obtained committed equity and debt financing

sufficient to fund the offer consideration and related transaction costs.

The transaction is not subject to any financing condition. Morgan Stanley,

ROUNDUP/Aktien Europa Schluss: Gute Tech-Stimmung - EssilorLuxottica stark

PARIS/LONDON/ZÜRICH (dpa-AFX) - Europas Börsen haben am Mittwoch zugelegt. Sie profitierten von einer guten Stimmung im Technologiesektor angesichts einer starken Quartalsentwicklung des US-Raumfahrt- und KI-Konzerns SpaceX <US84615Q1031>. Der EuroStoxx 50 <EU0009658145> gewann 1,40 Prozent auf 6.207,52 Punkte, seinen bisherigen Wochenverlust glich er damit aus.

Nicht ganz so stark waren am Mittwoch die Leitindizes in Zürich und London. Der Schweizer SMI <CH0009980894> schloss mit plus 0,51 Prozent auf 14.552,39 Punkte. Für den britischen FTSE 100 <GB0001383545> stand ein Zuwachs von 0,19 Prozent auf 10.752,88 Zähler zu Buche.

Mit weitem Abstand vorne im Leitbarometer der Eurozone waren die Papiere von EssilorLuxottica <FR0000121667> mit einem Kursgewinn von 15,5 Prozent. Der französische Konzern hatte im dritten Quartal überraschend stark zugelegt und von guten Geschäften mit traditionellen Brillen profitiert. Die Entwicklung im Kerngeschäft dämpfe Bedenken, dass sich der Markt abschwäche, so die Analysten von Citigroup. Der Kurszuwachs war für Anleger von EssilorLuxottica am Mittwoch ein Hoffnungsschimmer, haben doch die Aktien seit November des vergangenen Jahres eine steile Talfahrt hinter sich.

Die Anteile von SAP <DE0007164600> legten auf Platz zwei im EuroStoxx um 3,5 Prozent zu. Europas größter Softwarekonzern legt am Abend nach US-Börsenschluss seine Quartalszahlen vor. Mit ASML <NL0010273215>, Siemens <DE0007236101>, Infineon <DE0006231004> und Schneider Electric <FR0000121972> stützten weitere Tech-Unternehmen den Index mit Kursaufschlägen zwischen 2 und 2,6 Prozent.

Mit Carrefour <FR0000120172> stand ein weiterer französischer Konzern im Blick. Für den Kurs ging es in die entgegengesetzte Richtung mit einem Minus von 13,8 Prozent. Die Supermarktkette hatte am Vorabend wegen der Unruhen in Frankreich die Prognosen für das Gesamtjahr gesenkt.

Ebenfalls deutlich nach unten mit 7,2 Prozent ging es für Michelin <FR0000121261>. Die Zahlen für das dritte Quartal seien noch schwächer ausgefallen, als es der Reifenhersteller vor einigen Wochen angedeutet habe, stellten die Analysten von Bernstein fest.

Gewinne von Iberdrola <ES0144580Y14> halfen dem Sektor der Versorger. Das spanische Unternehmen hatte erneut sein Gewinnziel erhöht. Die Aktien verzeichneten ein Plus von 1,5 Prozent./ajx/he
