Company Announcements

NEW YORK , Aug. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Lindblad Expeditions Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: LIND) ("Lindblad") announced today the pricing terms of the previously announced offer by its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lindblad Expeditions, LLC (the "Issuer"), to purchase for cash (the "Tender Offer") any and all of the Issuer's outstanding 6.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (the "Notes"). The Tender Offer is being made pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated August 5, 2025 (the "Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement").

The total consideration (the "Total Consideration") to be paid for the Notes accepted for purchase was determined by reference to (i) the fixed spread for the Notes set forth in the table below and (ii) the bid side yield to maturity (the "Reference Yield") of the U.S.Treasury reference security set forth in the table below. The Reference Yield for the Notes was calculated by the dealer manager in accordance with standard market practice at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on August 19, 2025. The Total Consideration for the Notes includes an early tender payment (the "Early Tender Payment") of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 18, 2025 (the "Early Tender Deadline") and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer.

The following table sets forth the pricing information for the Tender Offer:

(1) Includes the Early Tender Payment of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer.
(2) Per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer.

Holders who have not yet tendered their Notes may continue to do so pursuant to the Tender Offer until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 3, 2025 (such time and date, as it may be extended, the "Expiration Time"). Holders of Notes who validly tender their Notes after the Early Tender Deadline but at or prior to the Expiration Time will not receive the Early Tender Payment and will therefore only be eligible to receive $979.98 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase (the "Tender Offer Consideration"), which is an amount equal to the Total Consideration less the Early Tender Payment.

In addition to the Total Consideration or the Tender Offer Consideration, as applicable, the Issuer will pay accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase from August 15, 2025, the most recent interest payment date on the Notes to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date or the Final Settlement Date (each as defined in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement), as applicable.

Copies of the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement are available to holders of the Notes from Global Bondholders Services Corporation, the information agent for the Tender Offer (the "Tender and Information Agent"). Requests for copies of the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement should be directed to the Tender and Information Agent at (855) 654-2014 (toll free) and (212) 430-3774 (banks and brokers) or by e-mail to contact@gbsc-usa.com.

Questions regarding the terms of the Tender Offer and the related consent solicitation may be directed to Citigroup Global Markets Inc. at (212) 723-6106 (collect) or (800) 558-3745 (toll-free).

None of the Issuer, Lindblad, the other guarantors of the Notes, the dealer manager, the Tender and Information Agent, the trustee for the Notes or any of their respective affiliates is making any recommendation as to whether holders should or should not tender any Notes in response to the Tender Offer or expressing any opinion as to whether the terms of the Tender Offer are fair to any holder. Holders of the Notes must make their own decision as to whether to tender any of their Notes and, if so, the principal amount of Notes to tender. Please refer to the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement for a description of the offer terms, conditions, disclaimers and other information applicable to the Tender Offer and the related consent solicitation.

This press release does not constitute an offer to purchase or the solicitation of an offer to sell any securities. The Tender Offer is being made solely by means of the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement. The Issuer is making the Tender Offer only in those jurisdictions where it is legal to do so.
