Update on VertiGIS' financing arrangements

On 21 January 2026, the boards of directors of VertiGIS Ltd ("VertiGIS") and 1Spatial plc ("1Spatial") announced that they had reached an agreement of the terms of a recommended cash offer pursuant to which VertiGIS will acquire the entire issued, and to be issued, ordinary share capital of 1Spatial (the "Acquisition").

As announced by VertiGIS and 1Spatial on 12 March 2026, the Scheme and its implementation were approved by the requisite majority of Scheme Shareholders and 1Spatial Shareholders (as applicable) on 12 March 2026 at the Court Meeting and General Meeting (respectively).

Entry into of Financing Arrangements

In the Scheme Document, it was stated that a portion of the consideration payable by VertiGIS to the Scheme Shareholders shall be funded through debt funding under the interim facilities agreement entered into on 21 January 2026, between, among others, VertiGIS and the Sixth Street Financing Entities (the "Interim Facilities Agreement").

As such, on and from the Long Form Financing Date the facilities under the Interim Facilities Agreement have been cancelled in full and replaced by the Long Form Financing.

The above documents will shortly be available on VertiGIS' and 1Spatial's websites at https://www.vertigis.com/1spatial-plc/ and https://1spatial.com/investors/possible-offer/ respectively.

Dealing disclosure requirements of the Takeover Code

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) 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 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.
