Extension of PUSU Deadline

On 12 December 2025, the boards of 1Spatial (the "Board") and VertiGIS Ltd ("VertiGIS"), a portfolio company of Battery Ventures ("Battery"), announced that they had reached agreement in principle on the key terms of a possible cash offer (the "Possible Offer") for the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of the Company for a price of 73 pence per 1Spatial share in cash (the "Announcement").

The Announcement stated that in accordance with Rule 2.6(a) of the Code, VertiGIS must, by not later than 5.00 p.m. on 9 January 2026 (the "PUSU Deadline"), either announce a firm intention to make an offer for 1Spatial in accordance with 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.

Discussions between 1Spatial and VertiGIS remain ongoing. Therefore, the Board has requested, and the Panel has consented to, an extension of the PUSU Deadline in accordance with Rule 2.6(c) of the Code. In accordance with Rule 2.6(a) of the Code, VertiGIS is now required by no later than 5.00 p.m. on 30 January 2026 (the "Revised PUSU Deadline") to either announce a firm intention to make an offer for 1Spatial in accordance with Rule 2.7 of the Code or announce that it does not intend to make such an offer, in which case the announcement will be treated as a statement to which Rule 2.8 of the Code applies. The Revised PUSU Deadline can be extended with the consent of the Panel in accordance with Rule 2.6(c) of the Code.

In accordance with Rule 2.5 of the Code, VertiGIS reserves the right to vary the form and/or mix of the consideration described in this announcement. VertiGIS also reserves the right to make an offer for 1Spatial on less favourable terms than those described in this announcement: (i) with the agreement or recommendation of the Board; (ii) if a third party announces a firm intention to make an offer for 1Spatial on less favourable terms; or (iii) following the announcement by 1Spatial of a Rule 9 waiver transaction pursuant to Appendix 1 of the Code or a reverse takeover (as defined in the Code).

If 1Spatial announces, declares or pays any dividend or any other distribution or return of value or capital to shareholders after the date of this announcement, VertiGIS reserves the right to make an equivalent reduction to the Possible Offer.

There can be no certainty that any firm offer will be made for the Company.

This announcement has been made with the consent of VertiGIS.

Further announcements will be made as and when appropriate.

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) 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 10th business day following the announcement in which any securities exchange offeror is first identified.

A Dealing Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(b) 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.

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).
