SECTION 1.2

Description of the concentration

On 29 March 2023, Concentrix Corporation ("Concentrix"), its wholly owned subsidiary, Osyris S.à.r.l. ("Osyris") and Marnix Lux S.A. ("Marnix Lux" or the "Direct Target") entered into a binding Put Option Agreement with the main shareholders of Marnix Lux ("Sellers"). Following the exercise of the put option by the Sellers, on 12 June 2023, Concentrix, Osyris, Marnix Lux and the Sellers entered into a share purchase and contribution agreement pursuant to which Concentrix, by acquiring the entire share capital of Marnix Lux, which indirectly owns 100% of the shares of Webhelp, a French company incorporated at 3/5 rue d’Héliopolis and 17/19 rue Guillaume Tell in Paris, will acquire sole control over the latter (the "Transaction"). In parallel, as part of the consideration for the acquisition by Concentrix, shares in Concentrix will be issued to the main shareholders of the Sellers, which will mean that the Sellers will in aggregate acquire approximately 22% of Concentrix' shares. In addition, subject to obtaining shareholder approval and keeping its shareholdings in Concentrix above certain levels, Webhelp's majority shareholder, Groupe Bruxelles Lambert ("GBL") may have up to two (2) representatives on Concentrix' ten-member board.
