Following the close of the Tender Offer at 1:00 pm (UK time) on 22 January 2025, the Company is pleased to announce the results of the Tender Offer, details of which were set out in the Circular published by the Company on 19 December 2024.

Tender Offer

The maximum aggregate number of Ordinary Shares that could be purchased pursuant to the Tender Offer was 6,153,846 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 21.8 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital as at the Tender Offer Record Date, at a Tender Price of £19.50 per Ordinary Share.

Under the Tender Offer, valid applications to tender shares were received in respect of 9,198,383 Ordinary Shares, equal to approximately 32.6 per cent. of the total number of Ordinary Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date. Accordingly, all valid tenders of Shareholders' Basic Entitlements have been accepted and will be purchased in full. Additionally, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer as set out in the Circular, all Excess Tenders have been scaled back pro rata to the total number of such Ordinary Shares tendered in excess of the Basic Entitlement and the aggregate of such Excess Tenders. As such, a total of 6,153,846 Ordinary Shares will be purchased under the Tender Offer and subsequently cancelled on 29 January 2025.

The total value to be returned to Shareholders pursuant to the Tender Offer will therefore be approximately £ 120  million. Payment of the consideration due to Shareholders whose tender applications under the Tender Offer have been accepted will be despatched (by cheque or by a CREST payment, as appropriate) on or before 29 January 2025. As there is no surplus to be returned to Shareholders following the closing of the Tender Offer the Company will not be declaring a Special Dividend.

Mrs Juliana Conlon has participated in the Tender Offer in respect of 1,561,162 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 41.05 per cent. of her shareholding as at the Tender Offer Record Date.
