FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

28 July 2025

Recommended Combination of

Assura Plc ("Assura")

and

Primary Health Properties PLC ("PHP")

to be implemented by means of a takeover offer

under Part 28 of the Companies Act 2006

Day 42 Update on Acceptance Levels

Assura Shareholders who have not yet accepted the Revised Offer are urged to do so as soon as possible and, in any event, no later than 1.00 p.m. (London time) on 12 August 2025

Day 42 Update on Acceptance Levels

On 23 June 2025, the Boards of PHP and Assura were pleased to jointly announce the terms of an increased and recommended shares and cash offer pursuant to which PHP will acquire the entire issued, and to be issued, ordinary share capital of Assura (the "Revised Offer"). 

On 27 June 2025, PHP and Assura jointly published a revised offer document in respect of the Revised Offer (the "Revised Offer Document"), which supplemented and updated the original offer document published by PHP on 13 June 2025 (the "Original Offer Document").

Capitalised terms used in this announcement (the "Announcement"), unless otherwise defined, have the same meanings as set out in the Original Offer Document (as amended by the Revised Offer Document).

In accordance with Rule 17 of the Takeover Code, PHP is today providing an update on the level of acceptances received under the Revised Offer.

As at 1.00 p.m. (London time) on 25 July 2025, PHP had received valid acceptances of the Revised Offer in respect of 39,477,467 Assura Shares, representing approximately 1.21 per cent. of the issued ordinary share capital of Assura.

So far as PHP is aware, none of these acceptances have been received from persons acting in concert with PHP.

As at 25 July 2025 (being the last Business Day prior to the date of this Announcement), Ian Krieger, a non-executive director of PHP holds 397,300 Assura Shares and his wife, Caron Krieger, holds 220,500 Assura Shares, each through an ISA.

Action to be taken by Assura Shareholders

Assura Shareholders who have not yet accepted the Revised Offer are urged to do so as soon as possible but, in any event, by no later than 1.00 p.m. (London time) on 12 August 2025.

Assura Shareholders who have not yet accepted the Revised Offer should note that the Mix and Match Facility will remain open until the date on which the Revised Offer becomes or is declared Unconditional after which time it may be closed by PHP without further notice. PHP intends to close the Mix and Match Facility after the Revised Offer becomes Unconditional (in order to allow allocations to be calculated).  Assura Shareholders who have not yet accepted the Revised Offer and wish to make elections under the Mix and Match Facility are therefore recommended to accept the Revised Offer and make their elections under the Mix and Match Facility as soon as possible.

Details of actions for Assura Shareholders to take are set out in the Original Offer Document (as amended by the Revised Offer Document) and, for holders of Assura Shares in certificated form, in the Second Form of Acceptance and Election which accompanies the Revised Offer Document. If you have any questions about the Original Offer Document or the Revised Offer Document or are in any doubt as to how to complete the Second Form of Acceptance and Election (if you hold Assura Shares in certificated form), or how to make an Electronic Acceptance (if you hold Assura Shares in uncertificated form), or if you want to request a hard copy of the Original Combined Circular and Prospectus or the Supplementary Prospectus or a further copy of the Original Offer Document or the Revised Offer Document (and/or any information incorporated into them by reference to another source) please contact the Receiving Agent, Equiniti, on +44 (0) 371 384 2414. Lines are open 8.30 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. (London time) Monday to Friday (excluding English and Welsh public holidays). Calls to the helpline from outside the UK will be charged at the applicable international rate. Different charges may apply to calls from mobile telephones and calls may be recorded and randomly monitored for security and training purposes. The helpline cannot provide advice on the merits of the Revised Offer nor give any financial, legal or tax advice. 

A soft copy of the Original Offer Document and the Revised Offer Document can also be found at www.phpgroup.co.uk and www.assuraplc.com/investor-relations/shareholder-information/offer-from-php

Assura Shareholders are reminded that, as a summary and subject to the fuller description in the Original Offer Document (as amended by the Revised Offer Document), the Acceptance Condition shall be satisfied if valid acceptances of the Revised Offer have been received (and not validly withdrawn) by no later than 1.00 p.m. (London time) on 12 August 2025 (or such later time(s) and/or date(s) as PHP may, with the consent of the Panel where required, decide) in respect of such number of Assura Shares as shall, when aggregated with any Assura Shares acquired or unconditionally agreed to be acquired (whether pursuant to the Revised Offer or otherwise) represent Assura Shares carrying more than 50 per cent. (50%) of the voting rights then normally exercisable at a general meeting of Assura Shareholders.

Save as disclosed in this Announcement, as at the close of business on 25 July 2025 (being the last Business Day prior to the date of this Announcement), neither PHP nor any PHP Director, nor so far as the PHP Directors are aware any other person acting, or deemed to be acting, in concert with PHP:

a)   had an interest in, or right to subscribe for, relevant securities in Assura;

b)   had any short position in (whether conditional or absolute and whether in the money or otherwise), including any short position under a derivative, any agreement to sell or any delivery obligation or right to require another person to purchase or take delivery of, relevant securities of Assura;

c)   had procured an irrevocable commitment or letter of intent to accept the terms of the Revised Offer in respect of relevant securities of Assura; or

d)   had borrowed or lent any Assura Shares.

Furthermore, neither PHP nor any PHP Director nor, so far as the PHP Directors are aware, any other person acting, or deemed to be acting, in concert with PHP is party to any arrangement in relation to relevant securities of Assura. For these purposes, an "arrangement" includes any indemnity or option arrangement, any agreement or any understanding, formal or informal, of whatever nature, relating to Assura Shares which may be an inducement to deal or refrain from dealing in such securities as detailed in Note 11 on the definition of acting in concert in the Takeover Code.

General

The calculations in this Announcement are based upon the issued share capital of 3,256,393,191 Assura Shares in issue at 6.00 p.m. (London time) on the last Business Day prior to this Announcement.

Nothing in this Announcement should be viewed, or construed, as "advice", as that term is used in the South African Financial Markets Act, 19 of 2012, as amended.

Notice relating to the United States

This document is not intended to, and does not, constitute or form part of any offer or invitation to purchase, otherwise acquire, subscribe for, sell or otherwise dispose of, any securities or the solicitation of any vote or approval in any jurisdiction pursuant to the Revised Offer or otherwise. The Combination will be made solely through the Original Offer Document and the Revised Offer Document which will contain the full terms and conditions of the Combination, including details of how the Combination may be accepted. Any acceptance or other response to the Combination should be made only on the basis of the information in the Original Offer Document and the Revised Offer Document.

The Combination relates to the shares of an English company and is subject to UK procedural and disclosure requirements that are different from certain of those of the United States. The financial statements and other financial information included in this document have been prepared in accordance with non-U.S. accounting standards that may not be comparable to the financial statements of U.S. companies or companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. It may be difficult for U.S. holders of shares to enforce their rights and any claims they may have arising under the U.S. federal securities laws in connection with the Combination, since PHP and Assura are located in countries other than the United States, and all or some of their officers and directors may be residents of countries other than the United States. U.S. holders of shares in PHP or Assura may not be able to sue PHP, Assura or their respective officers or directors in a non-U.S. court for violations of U.S. securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel PHP, Assura and their respective affiliates to subject themselves to the jurisdiction or judgment of a U.S. court.

The New PHP Shares have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States and may not be offered, taken up, sold, resold, delivered, pledged, renounced, distributed or otherwise transferred, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, any U.S. Person except in transactions exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and in compliance with any applicable securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States.

None of the New PHP Shares, the Original Combined Circular and Prospectus, the Supplementary Prospectus, the Original Offer Document, the Revised Offer Document, the Second Form of Acceptance or any other offering document has been approved or disapproved by the SEC, any state securities commission in the United States or any other U.S. regulatory authority, nor have such authorities passed upon or determined the adequacy or accuracy of the information contained in any of those documents or passed upon or endorsed the merits of the Combination. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the United States.

It is intended that the Combination will be implemented by way of a takeover offer within the meaning of the Companies Act. The Revised Offer will not be subject to the disclosure and other procedural requirements of Regulation 14D under the U.S. Exchange Act. If made into the United States, the Revised Offer will be made in accordance with applicable requirements of Regulation 14E under the U.S. Exchange Act. However, the Revised Offer will qualify for "Tier II" exemptions from the tender offer rules included in Regulation 14E under the U.S. Exchange Act. Accordingly, the Revised Offer will be subject to disclosure and other procedural requirements, including with respect to withdrawal rights, offer timetable, settlement procedures and timing of payments that may be different from those applicable under U.S. domestic tender offer procedures and law.

No document relating to the Revised Offer or the Combination will be posted into the United States, but a "qualified institutional buyer" (as such term is defined in Rule 144A promulgated under the U.S. Securities Act) may be permitted, at PHP's sole discretion, to participate in the Revised Offer upon establishing its eligibility as an Eligible U.S. Holder (as defined in this document). PHP will require the provision of a letter by Eligible U.S. Holders (and may require the provision of a letter by subsequent transferees in the United States) with such acknowledgements, warranties, and representations to and agreements with PHP, as PHP may require, to, among other things, confirm compliance with applicable laws as well as other supporting documentation. PHP will refuse to issue or transfer New PHP Shares to investors that do not meet the foregoing requirements. 

The receipt of consideration pursuant to the Revised Offer by an Eligible U.S. Holder may be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes and under applicable U.S. state and local, as well as foreign and other, tax laws. Each Assura Shareholder is urged to consult its independent professional adviser immediately regarding the tax consequences of accepting the Revised Offer.

In accordance with normal United Kingdom market practice and to the extent permissible under applicable law or regulatory requirements, including Rule 14e-5 under the U.S. Exchange Act (to the extent applicable), PHP and its affiliates or its brokers and its broker's affiliates (acting as agents for PHP or its affiliates, as applicable) may from time to time whilst the Revised Offer remains open for acceptance make certain purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, Assura Shares outside the United States otherwise than under the Revised Offer, such as in the open market or through privately negotiated purchases. Such purchases, or arrangements to purchase, shall comply with applicable rules in the United Kingdom and the rules of the London Stock Exchange. Details about any such purchases will be available from a Regulatory Information Service and will be available on the London Stock Exchange website (www.londonstockexchange.com).

Dealing and Opening Position Disclosure Requirements

Under Rule 8.3(a) of the Takeover 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 Takeover Code applies must be made by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the 10th business day following the commencement of the offer period and, if appropriate, by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the 10th 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 Takeover 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. 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).

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 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. You should contact the Panel's Market Surveillance Unit on +44 (0)20 7638 0129 if you are in any doubt as to whether you are required to make an Opening Position Disclosure or a Dealing Disclosure.
