Update on Letters of Intent

On 28 October 2025 the boards of directors of Frankel UK Bidco Limited ("Bidco"), a newly-formed company to be indirectly owned by Long Path Co-Investment Fund #6, LP (acting by its general partner, Long Path Co-Investment Fund #6 GP, LLC), Long Path Smaller Companies Fund, LP (acting by its general partner Long Path Fund GP, LLC), Long Path Smaller Companies Master Fund, Ltd. and Long Path Opportunities Fund II, LP (acting by its general partner, Long Path Opportunities Fund GP, LLC), and Idox plc ("Idox") made an announcement pursuant to Rule 2.7 of the Takeover Code (the "Rule 2.7 Announcement") of a recommended all-cash acquisition by Bidco of the entire issued, and to be issued, ordinary share capital of Idox (the "Acquisition"), intended to be implemented by means of a Court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act (the "Scheme").

Unless otherwise defined in this announcement, capitalised words and phrases used in this announcement shall have the same meanings given to them in the Rule 2.7 Announcement.

As set out in Appendix 3 to the Rule 2.7 Announcement, Bidco had received irrevocable undertakings and non-binding letters of intent from certain Idox Shareholders to vote in favour  (or, where applicable, procure voting) of the Scheme at the Court Meeting and the Resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting (or, in the event that the Acquisition is implemented by way of an Offer, to accept or procure the acceptance of the Offer), in respect of a total of 106,033,494 Idox Shares, representing approximately 22.97 per cent. of the existing issued ordinary share capital of Idox as at 27 October 2025, being the last Business Day before the date of the Rule 2.7 Announcement. These include a non-binding letter of intent from Rathbones Investment Management ("Rathbones") in respect of 35,203,152 Idox Shares, representing approximately 7.62 per cent. of the existing issued ordinary share capital of Idox as at 27 October 2025, being the last Business Day before the date of the Rule 2.7 Announcement (the "Rathbones Letter of Intent").

Under the Rathbones Letter of Intent, Rathbones is permitted to sell, acquire or otherwise deal in Idox Shares at any time.

Since the Rule 2.7 Announcement:

1.   On 2 November 2025, Mission Trail Capital Management LLC delivered to Bidco an executed non-binding letter of intent to vote in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting and the Resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting (or, in the event that the Acquisition is implemented by way of an Offer, to accept the Offer) in respect of 13,830,107 Idox Shares;

2.   On 4 November 2025, Richard H. Witmer Jr. delivered to Bidco an executed non-binding letter of intent to vote in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting and the Resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting (or, in the event that the Acquisition is implemented by way of an Offer, to accept the Offer) in respect of 10,003,818 Idox Shares;

3.     Rathbones has notified Bidco that, on 28, 29, 30, 31 October; and 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28 November; and 1, 2, 3 and 4 December 2025, it had sold certain Idox Shares that were previously subject to the Rathbones Letter of Intent; and

4.    On 6 November 2025, Mercia Fund Management Limited delivered to Bidco an executed non-binding letter of intent to vote in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting and the Resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting (or, in the event that the Acquisition is implemented by way of an Offer, to accept the Offer) in respect of 7,528,333 Idox Shares.

As a result:

·    the total number of Idox Shares which are subject to the Rathbones Letter of Intent has reduced to 32,385,167 Idox Shares, representing approximately 7.01 per cent. of the existing issued share capital of Idox as at close of business on 5 December 2025, being the last Business Day prior to the date of this announcement; and

·     the total number of Idox Shares which are subject to irrevocable undertakings and non-binding letters of intent has, in aggregate, since the Rule 2.7 Announcement, increased from 106,033,494 to 134,577,667 Idox Shares, representing approximately 29.14 per cent. of the issued share capital of Idox as at close of business on 5 December 2025, being the last Business Day prior to this announcement.

In addition to this, Long Path currently holds 56,876,997 Idox Shares, representing approximately 12.32 per cent. of the issued share capital of Idox as at close of business on 5 December 2025, being the last Business Day prior to this announcement.

The Company remains in an 'offer period' in accordance with the rules of the Code and the attention of Scheme Shareholders is drawn to the continuing disclosure requirements of Rule 8 of the Code, which are summarised below.

Overseas Shareholders

The release, publication or distribution of this announcement in or into jurisdictions other than the UK may be restricted by law and therefore any persons who are subject to the law of any jurisdiction other than the UK should inform themselves of, and observe, any applicable legal or regulatory requirements. Any failure to comply with such requirements may constitute a violation of the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the companies and persons involved in the Acquisition disclaim any responsibility or liability for the violation of such restrictions by any person. This announcement has been prepared in accordance with and for the purpose of complying with English law, the Takeover Code, the AIM Rules, the Market Abuse Regulation and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules and information disclosed may not be the same as that which would have been prepared in accordance with the laws of jurisdictions outside England.

The availability of the Acquisition to Idox Shareholders who are not resident in and citizens of the UK may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdictions in which they are located or of which they are citizens. Persons who are not resident in the UK should inform themselves of, and observe, any applicable legal or regulatory requirements of their jurisdictions. Any person (including, without limitation, nominees, trustees and custodians) who would, or otherwise intends to, forward this announcement, the Scheme Document or any accompanying document to any jurisdiction outside the UK should refrain from doing so and seek appropriate professional advice before taking any action. In particular, the ability of persons who are not resident in the United Kingdom to vote their Scheme Shares with respect to the Scheme at the Court Meeting, or to appoint another person as proxy to vote at the Court Meeting on their behalf, may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdictions in which they are located. Any failure to comply with the applicable restrictions may constitute a violation of the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the companies and persons involved in the Acquisition disclaim any responsibility or liability for the violation of such restrictions by any person. Further details in relation to Overseas Shareholders will be contained in the Scheme Document (or, if the Acquisition is implemented by way of an Offer, the offer document).

Unless otherwise determined by Bidco or required by the Takeover Code, and permitted by applicable law and regulation, the Acquisition will not be made available, directly or indirectly, in, into, from, or by the use of mails or any means or instrumentality (including, but not limited to, facsimile, e-mail or other electronic transmission, telex or telephone) of interstate or foreign commerce of, or of any facility of a national, state or other securities exchange of, any Restricted Jurisdiction where to do so would violate the laws in that jurisdiction and no person may vote in favour of the Scheme by any such use, means, instrumentality or from within a Restricted Jurisdiction or any other jurisdiction if to do so would constitute a violation of the laws of that jurisdiction. Copies of this announcement and any formal documentation relating to the Acquisition are not being, and must not be, directly or indirectly, mailed or otherwise forwarded, distributed or sent in or into or from any Restricted Jurisdiction and persons receiving such documents (including, without limitation, agents, custodians, nominees and trustees) must not mail or otherwise forward, distribute or send it in or into or from any Restricted Jurisdiction. Doing so may render invalid any related purported vote in respect of the Acquisition. If the Acquisition is implemented by way of an Offer (unless otherwise permitted by applicable law and regulation), the Offer may not be made directly or indirectly, in, into, from, or by the use of mails or any means or instrumentality (including, but not limited to, facsimile, e-mail or other electronic transmission, telex or telephone) of interstate or foreign commerce of, or of any facility of a national, state or other securities exchange of, any Restricted Jurisdiction and the Offer may not be capable of acceptance by any such use, means, instrumentality or facilities.

Further details in relation to Overseas Shareholders will be included in the Scheme Document (or, if the Acquisition is implemented by way of an Offer, the offer document).

Notice to U.S. Idox Shareholders

The Acquisition relates to the shares of an English company and is being made by means of a scheme of arrangement provided for under English law. A transaction effected by means of a scheme of arrangement is not subject to the tender offer or proxy solicitation rules under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "U.S. Exchange Act"). Accordingly, the Acquisition is subject to the disclosure requirements and practices applicable in the UK to schemes of arrangement which differ from the disclosure requirements of the U.S. tender offer and proxy solicitation rules. The financial information included in this announcement has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United Kingdom and thus may not be comparable to financial information of U.S. companies or companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

If, in the future, Bidco exercises its right to implement the Acquisition by way of an Offer, which is to be made into the United States, such Offer will be made in compliance with the applicable U.S. laws and regulations.

It may be difficult for U.S. holders of Idox Shares to enforce their rights and any claim arising out of the U.S. federal laws, since Bidco and Idox are located in a non-U.S. jurisdiction, and some or all of their officers and directors may be residents of a non-U.S. jurisdiction. U.S. holders of Idox may not be able to sue a non-U.S. company or its officers or directors in a non-U.S. court for violations of the U.S. securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel a non-U.S. company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a U.S. court's judgement.

In accordance with normal UK practice and pursuant to Rule 14e-5(b) of the U.S. Exchange Act, Long Path or their nominees, or their brokers (acting as agents), may from time to time make certain purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, Idox Shares outside of the U.S., other than pursuant to the Acquisition, until the date on which the Acquisition becomes Effective, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn. Also, in accordance with Rule 14e-5(b) of the U.S. Exchange Act, Canaccord will continue to act as an exempt principal trader in Idox Shares on the London Stock Exchange. These purchases may occur either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices. Any information about such purchases will be disclosed as required in the United Kingdom, will be reported to a Regulatory Information Service and will be available on the London Stock Exchange website, www.londonstockexchange.com.

U.S. Idox Shareholders also should be aware that the transaction contemplated herein may have tax consequences for U.S. federal income tax purposes and under applicable U.S. state and local, as well as foreign and other, tax laws and, that such consequences, if any, are not described herein. U.S. Idox Shareholders are urged to consult with legal, tax and financial advisers in connection with making a decision regarding this transaction.

Forward looking statements

This announcement (including information incorporated by reference in this announcement), oral statements made regarding the Acquisition, and other information published by Bidco and Idox contain statements which are, or may be deemed to be, "forward-looking statements". Forward-looking statements are prospective in nature and are not based on historical facts, but rather on current expectations and projections of the management of Bidco and Idox about future events, and are therefore subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from the future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements contained in this announcement include statements relating to the expected effects of the Acquisition on Bidco and Idox (including their future prospects, developments and strategies), the expected timing and scope of the Acquisition and other statements other than historical facts. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as "prepares", "plans", "expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "is subject to", "budget", "projects", "synergy", "strategy", "scheduled", "goal", "estimates", "forecasts", "cost-saving", "intends", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", or "believes", or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "should", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved. Forward looking statements may include statements relating to the following: (i) future capital expenditures, expenses, revenues, earnings, synergies, economic performance, indebtedness, financial condition, dividend policy, losses and future prospects; (ii) business and management strategies and the expansion and growth of Bidco's, Idox's, any member of the Bidco Group's or any member of the Idox Group's operations and potential synergies resulting from the Acquisition; and (iii) the effects of global economic conditions and governmental regulation on Bidco's, Idox's, any member of the Bidco Group's or any member of the Idox Group's business.

Although Bidco and Idox believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, Bidco and Idox can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. There are a number of factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

These factors include, but are not limited to: the ability to complete the Acquisition; the ability to obtain requisite regulatory and shareholder approvals and the satisfaction of other Conditions on the proposed terms and schedule; changes in the global political, economic, business and competitive environments and in market and regulatory forces; changes in future exchange and interest rates; changes in tax rates; future business combinations or disposals; changes in general economic and business conditions; changes in the behaviour of other market participants; changes in the anticipated benefits from the proposed transaction not being realised as a result of changes in general economic and market conditions in the countries in which Bidco and Idox operate, weak, volatile or illiquid capital and/or credit markets, changes in tax rates, interest rate and currency value fluctuations, the degree of competition in the geographic and business areas in which Bidco and Idox operate and changes in laws or in supervisory expectations or requirements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected, estimated or projected in the forward-looking statements. If any one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialises or if any one or more of the assumptions proves incorrect, actual results may differ materially from those expected, estimated or projected. Such forward-looking statements should therefore be construed in the light of such factors. Neither Bidco nor Idox, nor any of their respective associates or directors, officers or advisers, provides any representation, assurance or guarantee that the occurrence of the events expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements in this announcement will actually occur. You are cautioned not to place any reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Specifically, statements of estimated cost savings and synergies related to future actions and circumstances which, by their nature, involve risks, uncertainties and contingencies. As a result, the cost savings and synergies referred to may not be achieved, may be achieved later or sooner than estimated, or those achieved could be materially different from those estimated. Due to the scale of the Idox Group, there may be additional changes to the Idox Group's operations. As a result, and given the fact that the changes relate to the future, the resulting cost synergies may be materially greater or less than those estimated.

Other than in accordance with their legal or regulatory obligations, neither Bidco nor Idox is under any obligation, and Bidco and Idox expressly disclaim any intention or obligation, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Dealing and Opening Position Disclosure Requirements

Under Rule 8.3(a) of the Takeover Code, any person who is interested in 1 per cent. or more of any class of relevant securities of an offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror (being any offeror other than an offeror in respect of which it has been announced that its offer is, or is likely to be, solely in cash) must make an Opening Position Disclosure following the commencement of the offer period and, if later, following the announcement in which any securities exchange offeror is first identified. An Opening Position Disclosure must contain details of the person's interests and short positions in, and rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree company and (ii) any securities exchange offeror(s).

Relevant persons who deal in the relevant securities of the offeree company or of a securities exchange offeror prior to the deadline for making an Opening Position Disclosure must instead make a Dealing Disclosure.

Under Rule 8.3(b) of the Takeover Code, any person who is, or becomes, interested in 1 per cent. or more of any class of relevant securities of the offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror must make a Dealing Disclosure if the person deals in any relevant securities of the offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror. A Dealing Disclosure must contain details of the dealing concerned and of the person's interests and short positions in, and rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree company and (ii) any securities exchange offeror(s), save to the extent that these details have previously been disclosed under Rule 8. A Dealing Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(b) applies must be made by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the Business Day following the date of the relevant dealing.

If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire or control an interest in relevant securities of an offeree company or a securities exchange offeror, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.

Opening Position Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company and by any offeror and Dealing Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company, by any offeror and by any persons acting in concert with any of them (see Rules 8.1, 8.2 and 8.4).

General

The statements contained in this announcement are made as at the date of this announcement unless some other time is specified in relation to them, and service of this announcement shall not give rise to any implication that there has been no change in the facts set forth in this announcement since such date. Nothing in this announcement shall be deemed to be a forecast, projection or estimate of the future financial performance of HL or Bidco except where otherwise expressly stated.

The Acquisition is subject to English law, the jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, and the applicable requirements of the Companies Act, the Takeover Code, the Panel, the London Stock Exchange and the FCA.

Bidco reserves the right to elect, with the consent of the Panel (where necessary) and subject to the terms of the Cooperation Agreement, to implement the Acquisition by way of an Offer as an alternative to the Scheme. In such an event, for so long as the Cooperation Agreement is continuing, an Offer will be implemented on substantially the same terms, so far as applicable, as those which would apply to the Scheme (subject to appropriate amendments, including an acceptance condition set at not more than 90 per cent. of the Idox Shares on a fully diluted basis (or such other percentage as may be permitted under the terms of the Cooperation Agreement) and (to the extent necessary) consultation with the Panel, being in any case more than 50 per cent. of the Idox Shares).

If the Acquisition is effected by way of an Offer, and such an Offer becomes or is declared unconditional in all respects and sufficient acceptances are received, Bidco intends to exercise its rights to apply the provisions of Chapter 3 of Part 28 of the 2006 Act so as to acquire compulsorily the remaining Idox Shares in respect of which the Offer has not been accepted.

Investors should be aware that Bidco may purchase Idox Shares otherwise than under any Offer or the Scheme, including pursuant to privately negotiated purchases.
