Endor AG agrees to exclusive negotiations with strategic investor CORSAIR

Landshut, 9 May 2024 - The Management Board entered into a term sheet to
negotiate exclusively with US-based leader in high-performance gear and
systems for gamers, content creators, and PC enthusiasts CORSAIR® (Nasdaq:
CRSR) on the restructuring of the company, concluding an open-ended and
intensive examination of various offers from investors and after
consultation with its lending banks. This represents a significant milestone
in the sustainable reduction of the company's debt and creates a positive
outlook for the company.

"We are very pleased to have found a strategic investor in CORSAIR who knows
our market well and wants to invest for the long term," said Andres Ruff,
CEO and Chief Restructuring Officer of Endor AG. "With this partnership, we
now have another opportunity to invest in the further development of the
brand and lay the foundation for operational strength in the coming years.
Sim Racing is a good portfolio expansion for CORSAIR and in return it opens
up our brand to CORSAIR's enourmous gaming community and its associated
brands. We are confident that we have found the best financing solution and
strategic partner in the interest of the company, our employees, our
customers and our suppliers."

Endor AG is to be restructured outside of insolvency proceedings in
accordance with the German Act on the Stabilization and Restructuring
Framework for Companies (StaRUG) due to imminent insolvency. The signing of
a binding agreement is expected for end of May, which will promptly be
submitted to the restructuring court in Munich.

As part of the restructuring, CORSAIR will become the parent company of
Endor in full and provide sufficient financial resources to stabilize the
company without any external debt. Endor currently holds approximately EUR
70 million of external bank debt.

"Together with our advisors, we have considered various offers over the past
weeks and months and discussed them with our external banks," said CFO
Matthias Kosch. "We are pleased with the outcome of this process and are
convinced CORSAIR's financing and ultimate ownership of the company will
stabilize its balance sheet and secure its long term future."
