NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY IN, INTO OR FROM ANY JURISDICTION WHERE TO DO SO WOULD CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF THE RELEVANT LAWS OR REGULATIONS OF THAT JURISDICTION

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

24 October 2025

Disclosure under Rule 2.10(c) of the Takeover Code in respect of the

RECOMMENDED CASH ACQUISITION

OF

TREATT PLC ("Treatt")

BY

NATARA GLOBAL LIMITED ("Natara")

(a company controlled by funds managed by Exponent Private Equity LLP)

Update on Irrevocable Undertakings

On 8 September 2025 the Boards of Treatt and Natara made an announcement pursuant to Rule 2.7 of the Takeover Code (the "2.7 Announcement") of a recommended cash acquisition pursuant to which Natara will acquire the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of Treatt (the "Acquisition"), intended to be effected by means of a scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act (the "Scheme").

On 6 October 2025, the Boards of Treatt and Natara made an announcement (the "Increased Cash Offer Announcement") stating that they had reached agreement on the terms of an increased recommended final* cash offer at a price of 290 pence in cash for each Treatt Share for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Treatt (the "Increased Cash Offer").

As set out in Appendix 1 of the Increased Cash Offer Announcement, Natara received a non-binding letter of intent from John Lee, The Lord Lee of Trafford DL ("Lord Lee"), stating his current intention to vote (or procure a vote) in favour of the resolutions relating to the Acquisition at the Treatt Meetings in respect of 725,950 Treatt Share, representing approximately 1.22 per cent. of the issued share capital of Treatt as at 3 October 2025, being the last Business Day before the Increased Cash Offer Announcement (the "Lord Lee Letter of Intent").

Natara hereby announces that it was informed by Lord Lee on 22 October 2025 that Lord Lee disposed of 730,450 Treatt Shares on 21 October 2025 and 22 October 2025. Therefore, Lord Lee no longer holds (directly or indirectly) any Treatt Shares, and the Lord Lee Letter of Intent has now ceased to apply.

Accordingly, the total number of Treatt Shares which are subject to either irrevocable undertakings or non-binding letters of intent has reduced from 4,799,775 (representing 8.09 per cent, of the issued share capital of Treatt) to 4,073,825 Treatt Shares (representing approximately 6.86 per cent. of the issued share capital of Treatt) as at close of business on 22 October 2025, being the last Business Day prior to the date of this announcement.

*The Increased Cash Offer is final and will not be further increased, except that Natara reserves the right to increase the consideration payable under the Acquisition and/or otherwise improve the terms of the Acquisition if: (i) there is an announcement by any person (including Treatt) on or after the date of this announcement of either a firm intention to make an offer or a possible offer, in each case, for Treatt; or (ii) the Panel otherwise provides its consent which will only be provided in wholly exceptional circumstances. Natara reserves the right (with the consent of the Panel, if required), and while the Cooperation Agreement is continuing, subject to the terms of the Cooperation Agreement, to implement the Acquisition by way of a Takeover Offer.

Unless otherwise defined in this announcement, capitalised words and phrases used in this announcement shall have the same meanings given to them in the Increased Cash Offer Announcement.

Further information

This announcement is for information purposes only and 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 Acquisition or otherwise. The Acquisition will be made solely through the Scheme Document (or, if the Acquisition is implemented by way of a Takeover Offer, the Takeover Offer document), which, together with the accompanying Forms of Proxy, will contain the full terms and conditions of the Acquisition, including details of how to vote in respect of the Acquisition. Any decision in respect of the Acquisition should be made only on the basis of the information in the Scheme Document (or, if the Acquisition is implemented by way of a Takeover Offer, the Takeover Offer document).

This announcement does not constitute a prospectus or a prospectus equivalent document.

Overseas Shareholders

The release, publication or distribution of this announcement in jurisdictions other than the UK, and the availability of the Acquisition to Treatt Shareholders who are not resident in the UK, may be restricted and therefore any persons who are not resident in the UK or who are subject to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the UK (including Restricted Jurisdictions) should inform themselves about, and observe, any applicable legal or regulatory requirements. In particular, the ability of persons who are not resident in the UK or who are subject to the laws of another jurisdiction to participate in the Acquisition or to vote their Treatt Shares in respect of the Scheme at the Court Meeting, or to execute and deliver Forms of Proxy appointing another to vote at the Court Meeting on their behalf, may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdictions in which they are located or to which they are subject. Any failure to comply with applicable legal or regulatory requirements of any jurisdiction may constitute a violation of securities laws in that jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the companies and persons involved in the Acquisition disclaim any responsibility or liability for the violation of such restrictions by any person.

Unless otherwise determined by Natara or required by the Code, and permitted by applicable law and regulation, the Acquisition shall not be made available, directly or indirectly, in, into or from a Restricted Jurisdiction where to do so would violate the laws in that jurisdiction and no person may vote in favour of the Acquisition by any such use, means, instrumentality or form within a Restricted Jurisdiction or any other jurisdiction if to do so would constitute a violation of the laws of that jurisdiction.

Accordingly, copies of this announcement and any formal documentation relating to the Acquisition are not being, and must not be, directly or indirectly, mailed or otherwise forwarded, distributed or sent in or into or from any Restricted Jurisdiction or any jurisdiction where to do so would constitute a violation of the laws of such jurisdiction and persons receiving such documents (including custodians, nominees and trustees) must not mail or otherwise forward, distribute or send them in or into or from any Restricted Jurisdiction. Doing so may render invalid any related purported vote in respect of acceptance of the Acquisition.

The Acquisition will be subject to the applicable requirements of English law, the Code, the Panel, the London Stock Exchange, the Court and the FCA.

Further details in relation to Treatt Shareholders in overseas jurisdictions will be contained in the Scheme Document (or, if the Acquisition is implemented by way of a Takeover Offer, the Takeover Offer document).

Additional information for U.S. investors

The Acquisition relates to an offer for the shares of a UK company and is being made by means of a scheme of arrangement provided for under English company law. The Acquisition, implemented by way of a scheme of arrangement, is not subject to the tender offer rules or the proxy solicitation rules under the U.S. Exchange Act. Accordingly, the Acquisition is subject to the disclosure and procedural requirements and practices applicable to a scheme of arrangement involving a target company in the UK admitted to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange, which differ from the disclosure and procedural requirements of the U.S. tender offer and proxy solicitation rules.

The financial information with respect to Treatt included in this announcement and the Scheme Document has been or will have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and thus may not be comparable to the financial information of U.S. companies or companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S.

If, in the future, Natara exercises its right to implement the Acquisition by way of a Takeover Offer and determines to extend the Takeover Offer into the U.S., the Acquisition will be made in compliance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations, including to the extent applicable Section 14(e) of the US Exchange Act and Regulation 14E thereunder. Such a Takeover Offer would be made in the U.S. by Natara and no one else.

In the event that the Acquisition is implemented by way of a Takeover Offer, in accordance with normal United Kingdom practice and pursuant to Rule 14e-5(b) under the US Exchange Act, Natara or its nominees, or its brokers (acting as agents), may from time to time make certain purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, shares or other securities of Treatt outside of the U.S., other than pursuant to the Takeover Offer, until the date on which the Takeover Offer becomes effective, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn. These purchases may occur either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices and would comply with applicable law, including the U.S. Exchange Act. Any information about such purchases shall be disclosed as required in the UK, will be reported to a Regulatory Information Service of the London Stock Exchange and will be available on the London Stock Exchange website at www.londonstockexchange.com.

The receipt of cash pursuant to the scheme by U.S. Shareholders (defined as shareholder who are U.S. persons as defined in the U.S. Internal Revenue Code) as consideration for the transfer of Treatt Shares pursuant to the scheme 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 Shareholder (including U.S. Shareholders) is urged to consult his independent professional adviser immediately regarding the tax consequences of the transaction applicable to him.

Neither the SEC nor any U.S. state securities commission has approved, disapproved or passed judgment upon the fairness of the Acquisition or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this announcement. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the U.S.

Some or all of Treatt's and Natara's respective officers and directors reside outside the U.S., and some or all of their respective assets are or may be located in jurisdictions outside the U.S. Therefore, investors may have difficulty effecting service of process within the U.S. upon those persons or recovering against Treatt or Natara or their respective officers or directors on judgments of U.S. courts, including judgments based upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel a non-U.S. company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a U.S. court's judgment. It may not be possible to sue Treatt, Natara or their respective officers or directors in a non-U.S. court for violations of the U.S. securities laws.

Disclosure requirements of the Code

Under Rule 8.3(a) of the Code, any person who is interested in 1 per cent. 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. on the tenth business day following the commencement of the offer period and, if appropriate, by no later than 3.30 p.m. on the tenth 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 Code, any person who is, or becomes, interested in 1 per cent. 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 p.m. 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.
