OSI Group and Egeria have reached agreement for the sale of IQI to OSI Group

IQI will provide OSI with broader and integrated capabilities in the global petfood market
whilst benefitting from the opportunity to leverage OSI’s extensive supply chain network to
reach new geographies, develop additional supplier relationships and create unique,
innovative, premium animal protein and vegetable ingredients for petfood.

Mark Oostendorp, CEO of IQI, along with the IQI management team, look forward to
partnering with OSI leadership, stating, “This acquisition will greatly benefit our supply
partners and customers. OSI’s drive to provide any solution needed for their customers is
exactly how IQI has been developing solutions for our suppliers and customers in the
petfood space. The enormous OSI network and capabilities gives IQI the opportunity to
become a global leader of animal products and vegetables. This is like a playground for our
team, and we are excited to co-create new solutions for our suppliers and customers.”
“This partnership more closely connects OSI’s extensive industry relationships and animal
protein and vegetable capabilities directly to IQI’s customers.” said Mark Richardson, Senior
Executive Vice President, OSI International. “OSI welcomes IQI to the global OSI family
and looks forward to partnering with IQI to create new and innovative ingredients that
deliver unique solutions for their customers.”

Simone Poelen, Investment Manager at Egeria stated, “We would like to thank Mark,
Lennard and the entire IQI organization for the enjoyable and entrepreneurial partnership
over the past six years. Working together with our co-shareholders, founder Sven
Gravendeel and SAPI S.p.a, was a great experience. We are proud that we have been able
to support IQI in its transformation from a specialized trading company to becoming a
critical link in the petfood value chain and a frontrunner in sustainable ingredients and
animal welfare. With this solid foundation in place, we are confident that IQI will develop
further by leveraging the global scale, customer relations, manufacturing assets and
suppliers of OSI.”
