The Schedule TO relates to the offer by Buyer to purchase all of the outstanding ordinary shares, par value €0.10 per share (the “Shares”), in the capital of Playa Hotels & Resorts N.V., a public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap) organized under the laws of the Netherlands (“Playa”), at a cash price equal to $13.50 per share, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in an Offer to Purchase, dated February 24, 2025 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer to Purchase”) and in the related Letter of Transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”), copies of which are filed with the Schedule TO as exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Amendment, the information set forth in the Schedule TO remains unchanged and is incorporated herein by reference to the extent relevant to the items in this Amendment.
