Logistics Development Group plc ("LDG")

Statement re possible offer and extension of PUSU Deadline

The board of LDG (the "Board") notes the announcement made by DBAY Advisors Limited ("DBAY") at 7.00 a.m. today (the "DBAY Announcement") regarding revised terms of a possible offer for the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of LDG not already owned by DBAY (the "Revised Indicative Proposal").

As announced on 8 October 2026, the Independent Directors (being all directors of LDG save for Colin Kingsnorth, who is deemed to be acting in concert with DBAY) unanimously rejected DBAY's earlier proposal of 20 pence in cash per LDG share.

In order for the Independent Directors to fully consider the Revised Indicative Proposal, with the assistance of LDG's advisers (including appointing an independent valuer to report on LDG's assets, such report  to be published accordance with Rule 29 of the Takeover Code should a firm offer be made), the Independent Directors have requested, and the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Panel") has consented to, an extension of the deadline by which DBAY must either announce a firm intention to make an offer for LDG under Rule 2.7 of the Code or announce that it does not intend to make an offer.

Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 2.6(c) of the Code, the deadline by which DBAY must either announce a firm intention to make an offer for LDG under Rule 2.7 of the Code or announce that it does not intend to make an offer (in which case the announcement will be treated as a statement to which Rule 2.8 of the Code applies) has been extended to 5.00 p.m. (London time) on 3 December 2026. This deadline can be further extended with the consent of the Panel. The Independent Directors have not reached a decision on the Revised Indicative Proposal. Shareholders are advised to take no action at this time. LDG remains in an "offer period" under the Code, and attention is drawn to the disclosure requirements of Rule 8 of the Code, which are summarised below. There can be no certainty that any firm offer will be made for LDG.

A further announcement will be made as and when appropriate.

The person responsible for arranging the release of this announcement on behalf of LDG is Adrian Collins.

Disclosure requirements of the Code

Under Rule 8.3(a) of the Code, any person who is interested in 1% 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). An Opening Position Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(a) of the Code applies must be made by no later than 3.30 p.m. (London time) on the 10th business day following the commencement of the offer period and, if appropriate, by no later than 3.30 p.m. (London time) on the 10^th business day following the announcement in which any securities exchange offeror is first identified. 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 Code, any person who is, or becomes, interested in 1% 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 of the Code. A Dealing Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(b) of the Code applies must be made by no later than 3.30 p.m. (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 of the Code.

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 of the Code).

Details of the offeree and offeror companies in respect of whose relevant securities Opening Position Disclosures and Dealing Disclosures must be made can be found in the Disclosure Table on the Takeover Panel's website at www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk, including details of the number of relevant securities in issue, when the offer period commenced and when any offeror was first identified.
