PROSPECTUS BETWEEN 67,692,308 AND 83,018,868 ORDINARY SHARES OF APPLUS SERVICES, S.A. at an Offering Price Range of between €13.25 and €16.25 per Share The Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (the “CNMV”), which is the Spanish competent authority for the purposes of Directive 2003/71/EC, as amended (the “Prospectus Directive”) and relevant implementing measures in Spain, has approved this document as a prospectus. This is a global initial public offering (the “Offering”) by Applus Services, S.A. (the “Company”) and Azul Finance S.à r.l. (Lux) (the “Selling Shareholder” and together with Azul Holding S.C.A. (Lux), the “Selling Shareholders”) to qualified investors of between 67,692,308 and 83,018,868 ordinary shares of the Company with a nominal value of €0.10 each (the “Shares”). This document comprises a prospectus relating to the Company and its subsidiaries (together, the “Group”) prepared in accordance with the prospectus rules set out in Commission Regulation (EC) No 809/2004 (and amendments thereto, including Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 486/2012 and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 862/2012), enacted in the European Union (the “Prospectus Rules”) and Ley 24/1988 of 28 July 1988, del Mercado de Valores (the “Spanish Securities Markets Act”). This document has been prepared in connection with the Offering and application for the admission of the Shares to the Barcelona, Bilbao, Madrid and Valencia stock exchanges (the “Spanish Stock Exchanges”) and on the Automated Quotation System (the “AQS”) or Mercado Continuo of the Spanish Stock Exchanges (“Admission”), which are regulated markets for the purposes of Directive 2004/39/EC (the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive). The Company is offering between 18,461,538 and 22,641,509 new Shares (the “New Offer Shares”) in the Offering, being such number of Shares as is required, at the offering price range set forth above (the “Offering Price Range”), to provide the Company with gross sale proceeds of €300 million, and the Selling Shareholder is selling an aggregate of between 49,230,769 and 60,377,358 existing Shares (the “Existing Offer Shares”) in the Offering, being such number of Shares as is required, at the Offering Price Range to provide the Selling Shareholder with aggregate gross sale proceeds of €800 million. In addition, the Selling Shareholder and Azul Holding S.C.A. (Lux) (together, the “Over-allotment Shareholders”) will grant an option to the Underwriters (the “Over-allotment Option”), exercisable within 30 calendar days from the date on which the Shares commence trading on the Spanish Stock Exchanges, to purchase a number of additional Shares (the “Over-allotment Shares”) representing up to 10 per cent. of the total number of Shares sold by the Company and the Selling Shareholder in the Offering solely to cover over-allotments of Shares in the Offering, if any, and short positions resulting from stabilisation transactions. The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Existing Offer Shares sold by the Selling Shareholder or the sale of Over-allotment Shares sold by the Over-allotment Shareholders. The New Offer Shares, the Existing Offer Shares and the Over-allotment Shares (if any) are referred to herein as the “Offer Shares”. The indicative Offering Price Range at which Offer Shares are being sold in the Offering will be between €13.25 to €16.25 per Share. This price range has been determined based on negotiations between the Company, the Selling Shareholder and the Underwriters and no independent experts have been consulted in determining this price range. The price of the Shares offered in the Offering (the “Offering Price”) will be determined based on negotiations between the Company, the Selling Shareholder and the Underwriters, upon the finalisation of the book-building period (expected to occur on or about 7 May 2014) and will be announced through the publication of a relevant fact (“hecho relevante”). Prior to this Offering, there has been no public market for the Shares. The Company will apply to have the Shares listed on the Spanish Stock Exchanges and to have the Shares quoted on the AQS. The Shares are expected to be listed on the Spanish Stock Exchanges and quoted on the AQS on or after 9 May 2014 under the symbol “APPS”. The Offer Shares (other than the Over-Allotment Shares) are expected to be delivered through the book-entry facilities of Iberclear and its participating entities on or about 13 May 2014. Concurrently with the Offering, pursuant to a binding directed offering by the Selling Shareholders (the “Directed Offering”), the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company will purchase in aggregate between 356,923 and 437,736 Shares at the Offering Price for total consideration of €5.8 million.
