Begbies Traynor Group plc

(the "Company" or "Group")

Rebrand and change of Company Name

Rebrand will see Begbies Traynor Group plc become BTG Consulting plc

Begbies Traynor Group plc, the financial and real estate advisory group, is pleased to announce it is rebranding and will change its name to "BTG Consulting plc" to more accurately represent the Group's broad and evolving range of services and its strategy to deliver high-quality advisory and transactional solutions to its clients.

Background to the rebrand and name change

Following a decade of growth, the Group has evolved from its heritage in insolvency and restructuring to become a broad-based financial and real estate advisory business. Over the course of the last ten years, it has reported a CAGR in revenue, adjusted profit before tax and dividends of 13%, 20% and 8%, respectively.

Accordingly, to reflect the evolution of its business and breadth of services, the name of the Group will change to BTG Consulting plc and operations have been rebranded with a common BTG brand.

With immediate effect, BTG activities will be marketed under eight service lines: restructuring, deal advisory, funding and insurance, financial advisory, valuations and asset advisory, agency and auctions, projects and developments, and property management and insurance. This better demonstrates the breadth of the expertise and capabilities across BTG's professional teams to service and assist clients.

Formal insolvency appointments will use BTG Begbies Traynor as a sub-brand, reflecting its market-leading position for UK insolvencies. Similarly, to reflect its strong market position, BTG's real estate advisory business will operate using BTG Eddisons as a sub-brand.

Management and reporting

This updated branding follows the announcement in September 2025 in which BTG established a new leadership structure for the business as it positioned itself for the next phase of growth.

The Group will continue to report financial information as two operating divisions:

·      Restructuring and advisory: restructuring (including formal administrations and liquidations), deal advisory, funding and insurance, and financial advisory service lines; and

·      Real estate: valuations and asset advisory, agency and auctions, projects and development, and property management and insurance service lines.

This rebranding, combined with the Group's broad range of services, diversified client base, organic growth initiatives and pipeline of acquisition opportunities, delivers confidence to build on its track record of growth.

Regulatory information concerning the Company's name change

The Company has applied to Companies House to change its name from "Begbies Traynor Group plc" to "BTG Consulting plc", such change to become effective when the Company receives its change of name certificate.  A further announcement will be issued confirming this and the date when trading under the new company name will be expected to commence.

The Company will also update its TIDM code to "BTG" once the Group's change of name becomes effective.

In conjunction with its name change, the Company's website address will also change to www.btguk.com. All information required by Rule 26 of the AIM Rules for Companies will be located within "Shareholder information" on the "Investor relations" section of the website with effect from 8.00am on 2 February 2026.

Mark Fry, CEO, said:

"This is an exciting development for the Group and enables us to bring our market-leading financial and real estate advisory businesses together under common branding. This change reflects the evolution of the Group in recent years into a broad-based advisory business.

"The rebranding to BTG will enable us to further leverage our expertise to enhance, protect and realise the value of our clients' businesses, assets and investments; providing strategic advice and solutions that drive growth, mitigate risk, and deliver lasting value."

Ric Traynor, Executive Chairman, said:

"The evolution to BTG reflects the significant growth and development of the business in recent years and our plans to deliver our medium-term targets and beyond. The updated branding is better aligned with the broad range of services and capabilities available within the Group and our ability to assist our clients across multiple areas of expertise."
