Sodexo Inc. announces a new benchmark US
dollar notes issue and the launch of a tender offer
of certain of its outstanding notes

Sodexo Inc., the US subsidiary of Sodexo S.A., announces today its intention to issue benchmark-sized
US dollar-denominated note in one or more tranches, guaranteed by Sodexo S.A. (the “New Notes”), and
a concurrent cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for any and all of its existing 1.634% senior notes due
2026 (the “2026 Notes”).

The Tender Offer is expected to expire at 5:00 pm, New-York City time, on May 22, 2025 unless extended
or earlier terminated.

Sodexo Inc. intends to prioritize, at its sole discretion, allocating the New Notes to holders of the 2026
Notes who indicate their firm intention to participate in the Tender Offer and wish to subscribe to the New
Notes.

The Tender Offer is subject to the successful completion of the issue of the New Notes, at Sodexo Inc.’s
discretion.

The purpose of the Tender Offer and the proposed concurrent offering of New Notes is to refinance a
portion of the existing debt of Sodexo Inc., and to extend the Group's debt maturity profile.

The details of the Tender Offer are fully described in the Offer to Purchase, which is available on request
