Proposed capital raise of c. £75m to execute on near term acquisition pipeline

Sirius Real Estate Limited ("Sirius" or the "Company" and together with its subsidiaries, the "Group"), a leading owner and operator of branded business and industrial parks providing conventional space and flexible workspace in Germany and the United Kingdom ("UK"), announces its intention to conduct a non-pre-emptive placing of new ordinary shares in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") to raise gross proceeds of approximately £75m, representing approximately 5% of the Company's issued share capital and a separate retail offer of approximately £2m (the "Capital Raise") to enable the Company to execute on two attractive acquisition opportunities in Germany with a particular focus on defence-related assets and tenants in the near term, with an estimated total value of approximately €130m (£113m). The issue and allotment of the new Ordinary Shares will be within the existing authorities of the Company's Board of Directors.

The Capital Raise will comprise an institutional placing (the "Placing") that will be conducted through an accelerated book building process (the "Bookbuild"), which will be launched immediately following this Announcement, and will be made available to new and existing eligible investors, a placing to selected qualified investors in South Africa (the "South Africa Placing") and an offer of new Ordinary Shares in the Company to be made on behalf of the Company by RetailBook Limited on its online platform (which will provide new and existing retail investors in the UK with an opportunity to participate in the Capital Raise) (the "Retail Offer"). Certain directors ("Directors") and PDMRs of the Company have also expressed an interest in participating in the Capital Raise (the "Subscription").

The Placing is subject to the terms and conditions set out in Appendix 1 to this Announcement. Joh. Berenberg, Gossler & Co. KG, London Branch ("Berenberg") and Peel Hunt LLP ("Peel Hunt") are acting as Joint Global Coordinators and Joint Bookrunners in respect of the Placing. PSG Capital Proprietary Limited ("PSG Capital") is acting as Sole Bookrunner and Placing Agent in respect of the South Africa Placing.

Rationale for the Capital Raise & Use of Proceeds

The Group operates in two highly attractive markets, Germany and the UK, which have strong, long-term fundamentals. The Directors believe that the real estate market dynamics in Germany, characterised by a very resilient and well-diversified economy spread across several large autonomous markets, a strong SME market and high replacement costs for light-industrial buildings, provide a sound backdrop to pursue its organic and acquisitions-led growth strategy over the medium-term. Furthermore, Germany's fiscal stimulus package enacted in 2025, estimated to be worth approximately €1 trillion and directed at infrastructure and defence spending, is expected to result in increased occupier demand for industrial space which, coupled with a noticeable uptick in transaction volumes, provide a further tailwind to the sector. Similarly, the Directors continue to believe that the real estate market dynamics in the UK remain positive, characterised by strong rental growth potential, UK government regional investment commitment, increased levels of near-shoring, structural undersupply of UK multi-let assets and resilient market conditions for light industrial assets.

In executing its acquisition-led growth strategy, the Directors have identified two attractive near-term defence-related acquisition opportunities in Germany totalling approximately €130m (including acquisition costs) on which the Company is currently in exclusivity and which are expected to be notarised in the coming weeks and completed in Q2 2026, subject to finalising due diligence.

The identified assets have a blended EPRA net initial yield of 7.6%.  Both sites are primarily production sites with significant defence-related tenants.  One would be a sale and long-term leaseback on a production site in south west Germany and the other a multi-tenanted site in northern Germany.  The Company will make appropriate announcements once the assets have been notarised. The Directors believe there is further value-add potential with both of these defence-related opportunities and the net proceeds of the capital raise, together with associated leverage, is expected to be substantially deployed by the end of Q2 2026.

The Company continues to work on its acquisition pipeline with a view to growing the business and recycling mature assets into those with more value-add potential.

Financial benefits of the Capital Raise

The execution of the identified acquisition opportunities utilising the net proceeds of the Capital Raise (and associated leverage) will contribute to the Group achieving its recently increased mid-term ambition to grow funds from operations ("FFO") to €175m per annum, as well as being accretive to FFO per share in the next financial year. The Company's net loan-to-value ("LTV") is expected to remain below the targeted 40% target level. The Group also intends to maintain the progressive dividend policy which has delivered over the last 12 years, with 24 consecutive half yearly dividend increases since its first dividend in 2014.

Current trading

The Group continues to trade in line with management expectations for the full year to 31 March 2026.

Director and PDMR participation in the Capital Raise

As indicated above, certain Directors and PDMRs have expressed an interest to participate in the Capital Raise by way of subscribing for New Ordinary Shares ("Subscription Shares") in the capital of the Company at the Offer Price, or otherwise participating in the Capital Raise, contributing approximately £100,000 in aggregate.

Commenting on the Capital Raise, Andrew Coombs, Chief Executive Officer of Sirius Real Estate Limited, said: 

"Over the past two years we have successfully taken advantage of market timing to grow our portfolio through the acquisition of a number of high quality, well located and high yielding assets, including the Hartlebury and Vantage Point trading estates which have transformed our UK business. While we remain resolute in our focus on extracting the latent value within our existing portfolio, an overriding priority for the Group is to ensure we continue to fully capitalise on the remaining window of opportunity to make acquisitions before the next cycle begins in earnest. I have noted on previous occasions that during 2026 this activity would be focused primarily on opportunities in Germany, where industrial transactional markets are notably strengthening, and particularly those related to the defence sector, where government spending is expected to drive occupier demand. 

"Building on the over €75 million of acquisitions we announced in Hamburg and Munich at the end of last year, this capital raise will allow us to move to execute two well located further opportunities from our healthy pipeline as soon as possible. Both acquisitions come at attractive prices and have a strong weighting to the defence sector. They bring stable day one income from well established occupiers, including those where their income is government backed, high occupancy and good lease lengths. These acquisitions also contribute to Sirius achieving the recently increased medium term ambition of reaching €175m FFO, while being accretive to FFO per share in the next financial year."

NOTES TO EDITORS

About Sirius Real Estate Limited

Sirius is a property company listed on the equity shares (commercial companies) category of the London Stock Exchange and the premium segment of the main board of the JSE Limited. It is a leading owner and operator of branded business and industrial parks providing conventional space and flexible workspace in Germany and the U.K. As of 30 September 2025, the Group's portfolio comprised 153 assets let to 10,958 tenants with a total book value of €2.8 billion, generating a total rent roll of €242.5m. Sirius also holds a 35% stake in Titanium, its €350.0m+ German-focused joint venture with clients of BNPP AM Alts.

The Company's strategy centres on acquiring business parks at attractive yields and integrating them into its network of sites - both under the Sirius and BizSpace names and alongside a range of branded products. The business then seeks to reconfigure and upgrade existing and vacant space to appeal to the local market via intensive asset management and investment, and may then choose to refinance or dispose of assets selectively once they meet maturity, to release capital for new investment. This active approach allows the Company to generate attractive returns for shareholders through growing rental income, improving cost recoveries and capital values, and enhancing returns through securing efficient financing terms.

Details of the Capital Raise

The Capital Raise is expected, in aggregate, to raise gross proceeds of approximately c.£75m, comprising a non-pre-emptive placing of new Ordinary Shares in the Company to institutional investors including in the UK (the "Placing"), a non-pre-emptive placing of new Ordinary Shares in the Company to selected qualified investors in South Africa (the "South Africa Placing") and an offer of new Ordinary Shares in the Company to be made on behalf of the Company by RetailBook on its online platform (which will provide new and existing retail investors in the UK with an opportunity to participate in the Capital Raise) (the "Retail Offer") and a direct subscription for shares by certain Directors and PDMRs of the Company (the "Subscription"). The total number of new Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Capital Raise (the "Offer Shares") and the price at which the Offer Shares are to be issued (the "Offer Price") will be announced by the Company at the close of the Bookbuild process. The Company will rely on the allotment and disapplication of pre-emption rights authorities granted by shareholders to the Company at its Annual General Meeting ("AGM") held on 7 July 2025.

The Capital Raise is not conditional upon the approval by the Company's shareholders.  The Company acknowledges that it is seeking to undertake the Capital Raise on a non-pre-emptive basis and has therefore consulted, where possible, with the Company's major institutional shareholders ahead of this Announcement. The Capital Raise structure has been chosen as it minimises cost, time to completion and use of management's time. The consultation has confirmed the Directors' view that the Capital Raise is in the best interests of shareholders, as well as wider stakeholders in Sirius.

Capital Raise Highlights

The proposed Capital Raise will consist of the Placing, the South Africa Placing, the Retail Offer and the Subscription.

The proposed Placing and South Africa Placing are to be conducted by way of the Bookbuild, which will launch immediately following the release of this Announcement. The Placing will be undertaken on behalf of the Company by Berenberg and Peel Hunt who are acting as joint global coordinators and joint bookrunners, in connection with the Placing, to be conducted in accordance with the Terms and Conditions set out in Appendix 1, while the South Africa Placing will be conducted on behalf of the Company by PSG Capital, who are acting as sole bookrunner and placing agent in respect of the South Africa Placing. The South Africa Placing will occur on a delivery vs payment basis, in accordance with the irrevocable undertakings (or commitments in such forms as may be permitted by the Company), pursuant to which South African Eligible Investors agree to subscribe for Offer Shares (the "SA Placee Undertakings"), and the terms of this Announcement applicable to the South Africa Placing.

As indicated above, certain directors and PDMRs have expressed an interest in participating in the Capital Raise by way of the Subscription. Should such persons or any other related parties of Sirius participate (collectively, "Relevant Persons"), this will occur in accordance with the approval granted by shareholders under resolution 17, as adopted at the Company's most recent AGM and in compliance with the JSE Listings Requirements. In terms of the JSE Listings Requirements, such a Relevant Person may participate where his/her/its bid price equals or exceeds the book close price, with shares being allocated equitably "in the book" through the bookbuild process. Due process will be followed.

The number of new Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Capital Raise will be determined following completion of the Bookbuild by agreement between the Company, the Banks and PSG Capital. Subject to pricing, preference may be given to the Company's existing shareholders seeking to participate in the Capital Raise. Other criteria that may be considered, include, inter alia, the timing and size of bids by investors.

The Company expects to close the Bookbuild as soon as practicably possible on 16 February 2026. Details of the Offer Price and the number of Offer Shares will be announced as soon as practicable after the close of the Bookbuild.

Concurrently with the Placing, the South Africa Placing and the Subscription, the Company intends to raise approximately £2m (€2.3m) in the Retail Offer, to provide new and existing retail investors in the UK with an opportunity to participate in the Capital Raise. The Retail Offer is not made subject to the terms and conditions set out in Appendix 1 to this Announcement and instead will be made on the terms outlined in the separate announcement to be made shortly regarding the Retail Offer. The Retail Offer is also conditional, inter alia, upon completion of the Placing and the South Africa Placing.

Details of the Placing

The Placing will be effected pursuant to the Company's existing shareholder authorities and therefore is not conditional upon approval by the Company's shareholders.

The Placing is subject to the terms and conditions set out in Appendix 1.

For the avoidance of doubt, the South Africa Placing is not subject to the terms and conditions set out in Appendix 1, but is subject to the terms of this Announcement and the SA Placee Undertakings.

The Banks have today entered into a placing agreement with the Company in relation to the Placing (the "Placing Agreement"). The Banks will commence the Bookbuild in respect of the Placing immediately following the publication of this Announcement. The Offer Price and the number of new Ordinary Shares to be issued to Placees in connection with the Placing (the "Placing Shares") will be determined by the Company in consultation with the Banks and PSG Capital following the close of the Bookbuild.

The Placing Shares are to be offered by way of an accelerated bookbuild placement to selected institutional investors in private placements outside of the United States in accordance with Regulation S of the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and in the United States to qualified institutional buyers as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

Pursuant to the terms of the Placing Agreement, each Bank, as agent for the Company, has conditionally agreed to use its reasonable endeavours to procure subscribers for the Placing Shares at the Offer Price. The Placing is conditional, inter alia, on (i) the Placing Agreement not having been terminated in accordance with its terms and (ii) UK Admission and JSE Admission occurring.

The Bookbuild will open with immediate effect following the release of this Announcement. The timing of the closing of the Bookbuild, the Offer Price and the number of Placing Shares and allocations in the Capital Raise are to be agreed between the Banks, PSG Capital and the Company. Details of the Offer Price and the number of Placing Shares taken up under the Placing will be announced as soon as practicable after the close of the Bookbuild.

The Placing Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and undertakings from the Company in favour of the Banks relating to the Group and its business. In addition, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Banks and their affiliates in relation to certain liabilities they may incur in respect of the Placing and the applications for UK Admission and JSE Admission (as defined below). The Banks can terminate the Placing Agreement at any time prior to UK Admission in certain customary circumstances, including in the event of a breach of the Company's representations and warranties given in the Placing Agreement, the failure of the Company to comply with its obligations under the Placing Agreement or the occurrence of a Material Adverse Change.

Subject to certain exceptions, the Company's shares may not be acquired by investors using assets of: (A) an "employee benefit plan" as defined in Section 3(3) of U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), that is subject to Title I of ERISA or (B) a "plan" as defined in Section 4975 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Details of the South Africa Placing

The Company has engaged PSG Capital as sole bookrunner and placing agent in respect of the South Africa Placing to undertake a private placement of new Ordinary Shares at the Offer Price to selected qualified investors in South Africa (the "SA Placed Shares") pursuant to the terms of this Announcement and the SA Placee Undertakings. The number of new Ordinary Shares to be issued to SA Placees in connection with the South Africa Placing will similarly be determined by the Company in consultation with the Banks and PSG Capital following the close of the Bookbuild.

Details of the Retail Offer

The Company also intends to raise funds by the issue of Retail Offer Shares at the Offer Price in order to provide new and existing retail investors in the UK with an opportunity to participate in the Capital Raise. RetailBook intends to conduct an offer for the Retail Offer Shares on behalf of the Company (subject to certain size limits) on the terms set out in a separate announcement to be made by RetailBook shortly. The Retail Offer is conditional on the Placing and the South Africa Placing completing. The Retail Offer will not be available to investors outside the UK.

Details of the Subscription

The Subscription Shares will be subscribed for in conjunction with the Bookbuild at the Offer Price, on the basis agreed pursuant to direct subscription letters between certain Directors and PDMRs and the Company, rather than pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Placing contained in Appendix 1 to this Announcement.

Lock-up

Pursuant to the Placing Agreement, the Company has agreed to a lock-up pursuant to which it has undertaken to the Banks that at any time between the date of the Placing Agreement and 90 days after the date of UK Admission it will not, and will procure that no Group company will, without the prior written consent of the Banks (i) directly or indirectly, issue, allot, offer, lend, mortgage, assign, charge, pledge, sell, contract to sell or issue, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell or issue, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Ordinary Shares or interest in Ordinary Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or substantially similar to, Ordinary Shares or any interest in Ordinary Shares; or (ii) enter into any swap or other transaction or arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Ordinary Shares or other shares in the capital of the Company, whether any such swap or transaction described in (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Ordinary Shares or other shares in the capital of the Company or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, subject to certain customary exceptions.

UK Admission and JSE Admission

Application will be made for the admission of the Offer Shares to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities (together, "UK Admission") and to listing and trading on the JSE ("JSE Admission"). UK Admission is expected to become effective at 8.00 a.m. (London time) on 20 February 2026 or such later date as the Banks, the Company and PSG Capital may agree, being no later than 6 March 2026. JSE Admission is expected to become effective at 9.00 a.m. (Johannesburg time) on 20 February 2026 or such later date as the Banks, the Company and PSG Capital may agree, being no later than 6 March 2026.

UK Product Governance Requirements

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements of Chapter 3 of the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the "UK Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the UK Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Placing Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that such Placing Shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all permitted distribution channels (the "Target Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, "distributors" (for the purposes of the UK Product Governance Requirements) should note that: the price of the Placing Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the Placing Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the Placing Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Placing. Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, the Banks will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of Chapters 9A or 10A respectively of the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the Placing Shares. Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Placing Shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PLACEES ONLY REGARDING THE PLACING

Bookbuild

Following this Announcement, the Banks will today commence a Bookbuild to determine demand for participation in the Placing by Placees. No commissions will be paid to Placees or by Placees in respect of any Placing Shares. The book will open with immediate effect. Members of the public are not entitled to participate in the Placing. This Appendix gives details of the terms and conditions of, and the mechanics of participation in, the Placing (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not the South Africa Placing which shall take place in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Announcement and the SA Placee Undertakings).

The Banks and the Company shall be entitled to effect the Placing by such alternative method to the Bookbuild as they may, in their sole discretion, and in agreement with PSG Capital, determine.

Details of the Placing Agreement and of the Placing Shares

Berenberg and Peel Hunt are acting as joint global coordinators and as joint bookrunners in connection with the Placing and PSG Capital is acting as the Company's placing agent and sole bookrunner in respect of the South Africa Placing. The Banks and PSG Capital are not acting for the Company with respect to the Retail Offer.

The Banks have today entered into an agreement with the Company (the "Placing Agreement") under which, subject to the conditions set out therein, each Bank has agreed, each as agent for and on behalf of the Company, to use its reasonable endeavours to procure Placees for the Placing Shares at a price to be determined following completion of the Bookbuild and as set out in the Placing Agreement. The price per Ordinary Share at which the Placing Shares (and SA Placed Shares and Retail Offer Shares) are to be placed (the "Offer Price") and the final number of Placing Shares will be determined at the close of the Bookbuild by the Company, the Banks and PSG Capital, following which the Company and the Banks will execute placing terms recording the final details of the Placing (the "Placing Terms").  The timing of the closing of the book, pricing and allocations are at the discretion of the Company, the Banks and PSG Capital (where applicable). Details of the Offer Price and the number of Placing Shares, SA Placed Shares, Retail Offer Shares and Subscription Shares will be announced as soon as practicable after the close of the Bookbuild.

Subject to the execution of the Placing Terms, each Bank has severally (and not jointly nor jointly and severally) agreed with the Company, in the event of any default by any Placee in paying the Offer Price in respect of any Placing Shares allotted to it, to take up such Placing Shares itself at the Offer Price in the agreed proportions as set out in the Placing Agreement.

The Offer Shares will, when issued, be subject to the Company's corporate documents, be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid in respect of the Ordinary Shares after the Closing Date. The Offer Shares will be issued free of any encumbrances, liens or other security interests.

Applications for listing and admission to trading

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange plc (the "London Stock Exchange") for admission of the Offer Shares to trading on its main market for listed securities ("UK Admission"). It is expected that UK Admission will become effective at 8.00 a.m. (London time) on 20 February 2026 or such later time and date (being not later than 8.00 a.m. (London time) on 6 March 2026) as the Banks, PSG Capital and the Company may agree. In addition, application will be made to the JSE for admission of the Offer Shares to listing and trading on the premium segment of the Main Board ("JSE Admission"). It is expected that JSE Admission will become effective at 9.00 a.m. (Johannesburg time) on 20 February 2026 or such later time and date (being not later than 9.00 a.m. (Johannesburg time) on 6 March 2026) as the  Banks, PSG Capital and the Company may agree.

Participation in, and principal terms of, the Placing

1.         The Banks are arranging the Placing severally, and not jointly, nor jointly and severally, as agents of the Company.

2.         Participation in the Placing will only be available to persons who may lawfully be, and are, invited to participate by the Banks. Each Bank and its Affiliates are entitled to enter bids in the Bookbuild as principal.

3.         The Bookbuild, if successful, will establish the Offer Price payable to the Banks by all Placees whose bids are successful. The Offer Price and the aggregate proceeds to be raised through the Placing will be agreed between the Banks and the Company following completion of the Bookbuild and any discount to the market price of the Ordinary Shares will be determined in accordance with the Listing Rules and the terms of Resolution 17 passed at the Company's annual general meeting held on 7 July 2025. The Offer Price and the number of Placing Shares will be announced on a Regulatory Information Service following completion of the Bookbuild (the "Placing Results Announcement").

4.         To bid in the Bookbuild, prospective Placees should communicate their bid by telephone or in writing to their usual sales contact at one of the Banks. Each bid should state the number of Placing Shares which the prospective Placee wishes to subscribe for either at the Offer Price which is ultimately established by the Company, the Banks and PSG Capital or at prices up to a price limit specified in its bid. Bids may be scaled down by the Banks on the basis referred to in paragraph 8 below.

5.         A bid in the Bookbuild will be made on the terms and subject to the conditions in this Appendix and will be legally binding on the Placee on behalf of which it is made and, except with the consent of the Banks, will not be capable of variation or revocation after the time at which it is submitted. Each Placee's obligations will be owed to the Company and the Banks. Each Placee will also have an immediate, separate, irrevocable and binding obligation, owed to the Banks, to pay to the Banks (or as the Banks may direct) as agents for the Company in cleared funds an amount equal to the product of the Offer Price and the number of Placing Shares that such Placee has agreed to subscribe for and the Company has agreed to allot and issue to that Placee.

6.         The Bookbuild is expected to close as soon as practicably possible on 16 February 2026. The Banks may, in agreement with the Company, accept bids that are received after the Bookbuild has closed.

7.         Each Placee's allocation will be determined by the Company in consultation with the Banks and will be confirmed to Placees orally or in writing by the relevant Bank following the close of the Bookbuild, and a trade confirmation will be dispatched as soon as possible thereafter. The relevant Banks's oral or written confirmation to such Placee will constitute an irrevocable legally binding commitment upon such person (who will at that point become a Placee) in favour of such Bank and the Company, under which such Placee agrees to subscribe for the number of Placing Shares allocated to it and to pay the relevant Offer Price for each such Placing Share on the terms and conditions set out in this Appendix and in accordance with the Company's corporate documents.

8.         The Banks will, in effecting the Placing, agree with the Company the identity of the Placees and the basis of allocation and pricing of the Placing Shares. Subject to paragraphs 4 and 5 above, the Banks may choose to accept bids, either in whole or in part, on the basis of allocations determined in agreement with the Company and may scale down any bids for this purpose on such basis as they may determine. The Banks may also, notwithstanding paragraphs 4 and 5 above, and subject to the prior consent of the Company, (i) allocate Placing Shares after the time of any initial allocation to any person submitting a bid after that time; and (ii) allocate Placing Shares after the Bookbuild has closed to any person submitting a bid after that time. The acceptance of offers shall be at the absolute discretion of the Banks. The Company reserves the right (upon agreement with the Banks) to reduce or seek to increase the amount to be raised pursuant to the Placing.

9.         The allocation of Placing Shares to Placees located in the United States shall be conditional on the execution by each Placee of a US Investor Letter substantially in the form provided to it.

10.       Except as required by law or regulation, no press release or other announcement will be made by any Bank or the Company using the name of any Placee (or its agent), in its capacity as Placee (or agent), other than with such Placee's prior written consent.

11.       Irrespective of the time at which a Placee's allocation(s) pursuant to the Placing is/are confirmed, settlement for all Placing Shares to be subscribed for pursuant to the Placing will be required to be made at the same time, on the basis explained below under "Registration and Settlement".

12.       All obligations under the Bookbuild and Placing will be subject to fulfilment or (where applicable) waiver of the conditions referred to below under "Conditions of the Placing" and to the Placing not being terminated on the basis referred to below under "Termination of the Placing Agreement".

13.       By participating in the Bookbuild, each Placee agrees that its rights and obligations in respect of the Placing will terminate only in the circumstances described below and will not be capable of rescission or termination by the Placee after confirmation (oral or otherwise) by any Bank.

14.       To the fullest extent permissible by law, none of the Company, the Banks, nor any of their respective Affiliates nor any of their respective Representatives shall have any responsibility or liability to any Placee (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise). In particular, none of the Company, the Banks nor any of their respective Affiliates nor any of their respective Representatives shall have any responsibility or liability (including to the extent permissible by law, any fiduciary duties) in respect of the Banks' conduct of the Bookbuild or of such alternative method of effecting the Placing as the Banks and their respective Affiliates and the Company may agree.

Placees' commitments will be made solely on the basis of publicly available information taken together with the information contained in this Announcement, the Placing Results Announcement and any Exchange Information (as defined below) previously published by or on behalf of the Company simultaneously with or prior to the date of this Announcement and subject to the further terms set forth in the electronic contract note and/or electronic trade confirmation to be provided to individual prospective Placees.

Each Placee, by accepting its allocation in the Placing, agrees that the content of this Announcement and the publicly available information previously and simultaneously released by or on behalf of the Company is exclusively the responsibility of the Company and has not been independently verified by the Banks. Each Placee, by accepting its allocation in the Placing, further confirms to the Company and the Banks that it has neither received nor relied on any other information, representation, warranty or statement made by or on behalf of the Company (other than publicly available information) or the Banks or their respective Affiliates or any other person and neither the Banks, the Company nor any of their respective Affiliates nor any other person will be liable for any Placee's decision to participate in the Placing based on any other information, representation, warranty or statement which the Placees may have obtained or received (regardless of whether or not such information, representation, warranty or statement was given or made by or on behalf of any such persons). By participating in the Placing, each Placee acknowledges and agrees that it has relied on its own investigation of the business, financial or other position of the Company. Nothing in this paragraph shall exclude or limit the liability of any person for fraudulent misrepresentation by that person.

Lock-up

The Company has undertaken to the Banks that, between the date of the Placing Agreement and the date which is 90 calendar days after the Closing Date, it will not, without the prior written consent of the Banks, enter into certain transactions involving or relating to the Ordinary Shares, subject to certain customary carve-outs agreed between the Banks and the Company.

By participating in the Placing, Placees agree that the exercise by the Banks of any power to grant consent to waive the aforementioned undertaking by the Company shall be within the absolute discretion of the Banks and that they need not make any reference to, or consult with, Placees and that they shall have no liability to Placees whatsoever in connection with any such exercise of the power to grant consent.

Registration and settlement

Settlement of transactions in the Placing Shares (ISIN: GG00B1W3VF54) following UK Admission will take place within the CREST system, subject to certain exceptions. The Company and the Banks reserve the right to require settlement for, and delivery of, the Placing Shares to Placees by such other means that they deem necessary, including in certificated form, if delivery or settlement is not possible or practicable within the CREST system within the timetable set out in this Announcement or would not be consistent with the regulatory requirements in the Placee's jurisdiction.

Each Placee agrees that it will do all things necessary to ensure that delivery and payment is completed in accordance with the standing CREST or certificated settlement instructions that it has in place with the relevant Bank or otherwise as such Bank may direct.

The Company will deliver the Placing Shares to a CREST account operated by the Settlement Bank as agent for and on behalf of the Company and the Settlement Bank will enter its delivery (DEL) instruction into the CREST system. The Settlement Bank will hold any Placing Shares delivered to this account as nominee for the Placees. The input to CREST by a Placee of a matching or acceptance instruction will then allow delivery of the relevant Placing Shares to that Placee against payment.

It is expected that settlement will be on 20 February 2026 on a T+3 basis and on a delivery versus payment basis in accordance with the instructions given to the Banks.

Interest is chargeable daily on payments not received from Placees on the due date in accordance with the arrangements set out above, in respect of either CREST or certificated deliveries, at the rate of two percentage points above SONIA as determined by the Banks.

Each Placee agrees that, if it does not comply with these obligations, the Banks may sell any or all of the Placing Shares allocated to that Placee on such Placee's behalf and retain from the proceeds, for its own account and benefit, an amount equal to the aggregate amount owed by the Placee plus any interest due. The relevant Placee will, however, remain liable for any shortfall below the aggregate amount owed by it and shall be required to bear any stamp duty, stamp duty reserve tax or other stamp, securities, transfer, registration, execution, documentary or other similar impost, duty or tax (together with any interest, fines or penalties) which may arise upon the sale of such Placing Shares on such Placee's behalf. By communicating a bid for Placing Shares, each Placee confers on the Banks all such authorities and powers necessary to carry out any such transaction and agrees to ratify and confirm all actions which the Banks lawfully takes on such Placee's behalf.

If Placing Shares are to be delivered to a custodian or settlement agent, Placees should ensure that, upon receipt, the electronic contract note and/or electronic trade confirmation is copied and delivered immediately to the relevant person within that organisation. Insofar as Placing Shares are registered in a Placee's name or that of its nominee or in the name of any person for whom a Placee is contracting as agent or that of a nominee for such person, such Placing Shares should, subject as provided below, be so registered free from any liability to UK stamp duty or UK stamp duty reserve tax. If there are any circumstances in which any other stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax (and/or any interest, fines or penalties relating thereto) is payable in respect of the allocation, allotment, issue or delivery of the Placing Shares (or for the avoidance of doubt if any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax is payable in connection with any subsequent transfer of or agreement to transfer Placing Shares), neither the Banks nor the Company shall be responsible for the payment thereof.

Neither the Company nor the Banks will be responsible for any UK stamp duty or UK stamp duty reserve tax (including any interest, fines and penalties relating thereto) arising in relation to the Placing Shares in any other circumstances.

Such agreement is subject to the representations, warranties and further terms above and also assumes, and is based on a warranty from each Placee, that the Placing Shares are not being acquired in connection with arrangements to issue depositary receipts or to issue or transfer the Placing Shares into a clearance service. Neither the Company nor the Banks are liable to bear any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax or any other similar duties or taxes (including, without limitation, other stamp, issue, securities, transfer, registration, capital, or documentary duties or taxes) ("transfer taxes") that arise (i) if there are any such arrangements (or if any such arrangements arise subsequent to the acquisition by Placees of Placing Shares) or (ii) on a sale of Placing Shares, or (iii) otherwise than under the laws of the United Kingdom. Each Placee to whom (or on behalf of whom, or in respect of the person for whom it is participating in the Placing as an agent or nominee) the allocation, allotment, issue or delivery of Placing Shares has given rise to such transfer taxes undertakes to pay such transfer taxes forthwith, and agrees to indemnify on an after-tax basis and hold each Bank and/or the Company and their respective Affiliates (as the case may be) harmless from any such transfer taxes, and all interest, fines or penalties in relation to such transfer taxes. Each Placee should, therefore, take its own advice as to whether any such transfer tax liability arises.

In this Announcement, "after-tax basis" means in relation to any payment made to the Company, any Bank or their respective Affiliates or their or their Representatives pursuant to this Announcement where the payment (or any part thereof) is chargeable to any tax, a basis such that the amount so payable shall be increased so as to ensure that after taking into account any tax chargeable (or which would be chargeable but for the availability of any relief unrelated to the loss, damage, cost, charge, expense or liability against which the indemnity is given on such amount (including on the increased amount)) there shall remain a sum equal to the amount that would otherwise have been so payable.

Each Placee, and any person acting on behalf of each Placee, acknowledges and agrees that each Bank and/or any of its Affiliates may, at their absolute discretion, agree to become a Placee in respect of some or all of the Placing Shares. Each Placee acknowledges and is aware that each Bank is receiving a fee in connection with its role in respect of the Placing as detailed in the Placing Agreement.

When a Placee or person acting on behalf of the Placee is dealing with any Bank, any money held in an account with such Bank on behalf of the Placee and/or any person acting on behalf of the Placee will not be treated as client money within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the FCA made under the FSMA. The Placee acknowledges that the money will not be subject to the protections conferred by the client money rules; as a consequence, this money will not be segregated from the relevant Bank's money in accordance with the client money rules and will be used by the relevant Bank in the course of its own business; and the Placee will rank only as a general creditor of that Bank.

Time is of the essence as regards each Placee's obligations under this Appendix.

Any document that is to be sent to it in connection with the Placing will be sent at its risk and may be sent to it at any address provided by it to any Bank.

The rights and remedies of each Bank and the Company under the terms and conditions set out in this Appendix are in addition to any rights and remedies which would otherwise be available to each of them and the exercise or partial exercise of one will not prevent the exercise of others.

Each Placee may be asked to disclose, in writing or orally to each Bank: (a) if they are an individual, their nationality; or (b) if they are a discretionary fund manager, the jurisdiction in which the funds are managed or owned.

The price of shares and any income expected from them may go down as well as up and investors may not get back the full amount invested upon disposal of the shares. Past performance is no guide to future performance and persons needing advice should consult an independent financial adviser.

All times and dates in this Announcement may be subject to amendment. The Banks shall notify the Placees and any person acting on behalf of the Placees of any changes.
