Confidential – Supplier Letter

Dear [Name]:

Earlier today, VWR announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Avantor, a global supplier of ultra-high-purity materials for the life sciences and advanced technology industries.

This is a unique opportunity to create a global player in manufacturing supply chain solutions for the Life Sciences, Advanced Technologies, and Research industries. This combination will make us an even stronger resource, with increased global reach and a stronger local presence in high-growth emerging markets.

VWR is built on a foundation of operational excellence and it is part of the value of our overall Company. We will continue to work with leading manufacturers to ensure we are delivering the highest quality products and services to our customers around the world. Nothing about this transaction changes that.

It is important to note that it is business as usual until the transaction closes. You will continue to work with your dedicated team of VWR associates. We will be working to ensure that the integration of our two businesses is as seamless for our suppliers as possible.

My colleagues and I will keep you informed as we move towards the closing of the transaction, which is targeted for the third quarter of 2017. In the interim, I want to thank you for your continued dedication to serving our collective customers to help them accomplish their goals.

Your support helps VWR deliver its value through product choice, operational excellence and differentiated services. Together, we enable science.

Warm regards,

VWR
