BARRATT DEVELOPMENTS PLC ("Barratt")

CMA Clearance of Combination with Redrow plc ("Redrow")

On 7 February 2024, the boards of Barratt and Redrow announced the terms of a recommended all-share offer for the combination of Barratt and Redrow, pursuant to which Barratt has acquired the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of Redrow (the "Combination").

CMA clearance

Barratt is pleased to announce that, following a consultation on undertakings in lieu of reference to an in-depth phase 2 investigation offered by the parties (the "Undertakings"), the United Kingdom's Competition and Markets Authority (the "CMA") has today published its acceptance of the Undertakings and will not be referring the acquisition of Redrow to a phase 2 investigation. This represents final determination of the CMA's investigation ("CMA Clearance").

The Undertakings approved by the CMA and the full text of the CMA Clearance decision are available on the CMA case page. The full text of the CMA Clearance decision will be published in due course.

Next steps

Following today's receipt of the CMA Clearance, the initial enforcement order issued by the CMA in connection with the Combination ceases to apply. As such, Barratt will now commence the integration of the businesses of Barratt and Redrow.

Barratt confirms that its intention remains to substantially complete the implementation of an integration plan within 18 months of completion of the Combination on 21 August 2024 ("Completion"), with synergies expected to be realised fully within three years following Completion.

David Thomas, CEO of Barratt said: "Today is a significant milestone for Barratt Redrow, as we come together as one organisation. With this combination, we have created an exceptional housebuilder in terms of quality, service and sustainability, able to accelerate the delivery of the homes this country needs. Together, we offer a broader range of homes and price points for our customers who we will continue to put at the heart of everything we do. Our focus now is on integrating our businesses as efficiently and effectively as we can to deliver the expected benefits of the Combination. We will leverage the best of both companies to deliver significant benefits to our people, our customers and our supply chain partners, and ensuring that Barratt Redrow is set up to deliver long term value to all of its stakeholders."
