FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

12 September 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

On 23 June 2025, the Boards of PHP and Assura jointly announced 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").

Further to the announcement by PHP on 12 August 2025 in relation to the Revised Offer becoming unconditional in all respects, PHP today announces that in satisfaction of valid acceptances of the Revised Offer received by 1.00 p.m. on 10 September 2025, the admission of 44,845,540 New PHP Shares to (a) the Equity Shares (Commercial Companies) category of the Official List of the FCA and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market for listed securities and (b) the Main Board of the JSE (together, "Admission") and commencement of dealings in the New PHP Shares became effective at 8.00 a.m. (London time) today.

PHP confirms that, as at the date of this announcement, it has 2,570,139,680 ordinary shares of 12.5p ("PHP Ordinary Shares") each in issue and admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange. There are no PHP Ordinary Shares held in treasury. Therefore, this figure (2,570,139,680) may be used by shareholders (and others with notification obligations) as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, PHP under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

The International Securities Identification Number for the PHP Ordinary Shares is GB00BYRJ5J14 and the LEI number is 213800Y5CJHXOATK7X11.

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).

The LEI of PHP is 213800Y5CJHXOATK7X11 and the LEI of Assura is 21380026T19N2Y52XF72.
