Update on terms of recommended cash acquisition
following interim dividend declared by Just

On 31 July 2025, the boards of directors of BWS and Just announced that they had reached agreement on the terms of a recommended cash acquisition by Bidco, a wholly owned subsidiary of BWS, of the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of Just (the "Acquisition"), to be effected by means of a scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006 (the "2.7 Announcement"). Capitalised terms in this announcement, unless otherwise defined, have the same meaning as set out in the 2.7 Announcement.

On 7 August 2025, Just declared an interim dividend for the six-month period ended 30 June 2025 of 0.84 pence per Just Share, payable on 15 September 2025 to Just Shareholders on the register of members at the close of business on 15 August 2025 (the "Dividend").

In accordance with the terms of the Acquisition as set out in the 2.7 Announcement, as the Dividend has been declared and will be paid prior to the Effective Date, Bidco will reduce the value of the consideration payable at completion for each Just Share by the amount of the Dividend.

The new consideration payable at completion under the Acquisition shall be 219.16 pence per Just Share, which, taken together with the Dividend of 0.84 pence per Just Share which is payable on 15 September 2025, provides total value to Just Shareholders of 220 pence per Just Share.
