FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

15 January 2026

RECOMMENDED CASH ACQUISITION
of
Walker Crips Group PLC
("Walker Crips")

by
PhillipCapital UK LTD
("PhillipCapital")

(a wholly-owned subsidiary of Phillip Brokerage Pte Ltd)

to be implemented by means of a court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement
under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006

RESULTS OF COURT MEETING AND GENERAL MEETING

Introduction

On 24 November 2025, the Independent Walker Crips Directors and the board of PhillipCapital announced that they had reached agreement on the terms and conditions of a recommended cash offer pursuant to which PhillipCapital will acquire the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of Walker Crips ("Acquisition").

On 15 December 2025, Walker Crips published and posted a circular in relation to the Acquisition ("Scheme Document") setting out, amongst other things, the full terms and conditions of the Acquisition, an explanatory statement pursuant to section 897 of the Companies Act, an expected timetable of principal events, notices of the Court Meeting and General Meeting and details of the actions to be taken by Walker Crips Shareholders.

Capitalised terms in this announcement shall, unless otherwise defined, have the meanings set out in the Scheme Document.

Results of the Court Meeting and General Meeting

Walker Crips is pleased to announce that each of the resolutions posed at the Court Meeting and the General Meeting held earlier today in connection with the Acquisition were approved by the requisite majorities. In particular:

·      the requisite majority of Independent Scheme Shareholders voted in favour of the resolution to approve the Scheme at the Court Meeting; and

·      the requisite majority of Walker Crips Shareholders voted to pass the Resolution(s) at the General Meeting to approve the implementation of the Scheme.

Further details of the resolutions passed are set out in the notices of the Court Meeting and the General Meeting at Parts 9 and 10 (respectively) of the Scheme Document.

Total Voting Rights at the Voting Record Time

The number of Walker Crips Shares in issue as at 6.30 p.m. on 13 January 2026, being the Voting Record Time, was 43,327,328. Of these, 750,000 Walker Crips Shares were held in treasury. Therefore, the total voting rights in Walker Crips at the Voting Record Time was 42,577,328.

Walker Crips Shares held by the PhillipCapital Concert Party

As stated in the amended Opening Position Disclosure made by PhillipCapital earlier today pursuant to Rule 8 of the Code, Mr Lim Wah Tiong (also referred to as Mr Lim Hua Tiong) ("Mr Lim Wah Tiong"), who is interested in 300,000 Walker Crips Shares, is deemed to be acting in concert with PhillipCapital and should be included within the PhillipCapital Concert Party for the purposes of the Acquisition and the Code. Mr Lim Wah Tiong was not listed as a member of the PhillipCapital Concert Party in the Scheme Document nor were his Walker Crips Shares taken into account when calculating the aggregate number of Walker Crips Shares held by the PhillipCapital Concert Party set out in the Scheme Document.  Therefore, the total number of Walker Crips Shares held by the PhillipCapital Concert Party was 12,659,803 representing 29.73 per cent. of the total voting rights of Walker Crips as at the Voting Record Time.

Mr Lim Wah Tiong along with the other members of the PhillipCapital Concert Party were not entitled to, and did not, vote at the Court Meeting but will provide a letter of confirmation to the Court that they approve of, and will agree to be bound by, the terms of the Scheme.

Voting results of the Court Meeting

The table below sets out the results of the poll at the Court Meeting held on 15 January 2026. Each Independent Scheme Shareholder present (in person or by proxy) was entitled to one vote per Scheme Share held at the Voting Record Time.

Notes:

(1)        All percentages rounded to two decimal places.

(2)        Where an Independent Scheme Shareholder has cast some of their votes "for" and some of their votes "against" the resolution, such Independent Scheme Shareholder has been counted as having voted both "for" and "against" the resolution for the purposes of determining the number of Scheme Shareholders who voted, with the total number of Scheme Shareholders who voted being adjusted accordingly.

(3)           The 12,659,803 Walker Crips Shares held by the PhillipCapital Concert Party are not eligible to vote on the Scheme at the Court Meeting and therefore, are not included within the total issued share capital entitled to vote for the purpose of the Court Meeting.

Voting results of the General Meeting

The table below sets out the results of the votes cast at the General Meeting. Each Walker Crips Shareholder present (in person or by proxy) was entitled to one vote per Walker Crips Share held at the Voting Record Time.

Notes:

(1)        All percentages rounded to two decimal places

(2)        A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes 'For' or 'Against' the resolution.

(3)           Includes discretionary votes.

Next Steps and Expected Timetable

The outcome of today's Court Meeting and General Meeting means that Conditions 2(A) and 2(B) (as set out in Part 3 of the Scheme Document (Conditions to and certain further terms of the Acquisition)) have been satisfied.

The Acquisition remains subject to the satisfaction or (where capable of being waived) waiver of certain other Conditions to the Acquisition which are set out in Part 3 (Conditions to and certain further terms of the Acquisition and the Scheme) of the Scheme Document, including the regulatory conditions, the Court sanctioning the Scheme at the Court Sanction Hearing, and the delivery of a copy of the Scheme Court Order to the Registrar of Companies and the Scheme thereby becoming Effective.

The Acquisition is currently expected to become Effective during Q1 2026 and, subject to the Acquisition becoming Effective, settlement of the cash consideration due under the Scheme is expected to take place within 14 days of the Effective Date. A further announcement (including an update to the expected timetable of principal events relating to the Scheme as set out in the Scheme Document) will be made through the Regulatory News Service of the London Stock Exchange following the satisfaction of the outstanding Conditions.

Overseas Shareholders

The release, publication or distribution of this announcement in or into jurisdictions other than the UK may be restricted by law and therefore any persons who are subject to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the UK should inform themselves about, and observe, any applicable legal or regulatory requirements. Any failure to comply with such requirements may constitute a violation of the securities laws of any such 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. This announcement has been prepared in accordance with and for the purpose of complying with English law, the Takeover Code, the Market Abuse Regulation, the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules and the UK Listing Rules and information disclosed may not be the same as that which would have been prepared in accordance with the laws of jurisdictions outside of the UK.

The availability of the Acquisition to Walker Crips Shareholders who are not resident in and citizens of the UK may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdictions in which they are located or of which they are citizens. Persons who are not resident in the UK should inform themselves of, and observe, any applicable legal or regulatory requirements of their jurisdictions. In particular, the ability of persons who are not resident in the UK to vote their Voting Scheme Shares with respect to the Scheme at the Court Meeting, or to execute and deliver Forms of Proxy appointing another person to vote at the Court Meeting on their behalf, may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdictions in which they are located. Any failure to comply with the applicable restrictions may constitute a violation of the securities law of any such 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 PhillipCapital and/or Walker Crips or required by the Takeover Code, and permitted by applicable law and regulation, the Acquisition will not be made available, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly in, into, or from a Restricted Jurisdiction where to do so would constitute a violation of the relevant laws or regulations of such jurisdiction and no person may vote in favour of the Acquisition by the use of any means or instrumentality, from 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 Scheme and 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 and persons receiving such documents (including, without limitation, 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 the Acquisition. If the Acquisition is implemented by way of an Offer (unless otherwise permitted by applicable law and regulation), the Offer may not be made, directly or indirectly, in or into, or by the use of mails or any means or instrumentality (including, but not limited to, facsimile, e-mail or other electronic transmission, telex or telephone) of interstate or foreign commerce of, or of any facility of a national, state or other securities exchange of, any Restricted Jurisdiction and the Offer may not be capable of acceptance by any such use, means, instrumentality or facilities.

Persons who are not resident in the United Kingdom should inform themselves of, and observe, any applicable legal or regulatory requirements. Walker Crips Shareholders who are in any doubt about such matters should consult an appropriate independent professional adviser in the relevant jurisdiction without delay.

Further details in relation to Overseas Shareholders will be included in the Scheme Document.

Additional information for US investors

The Acquisition relates to the shares of an English company with a listing on the London Stock Exchange and is being made by means of a scheme of arrangement provided for under English company law. An acquisition effected by means of a scheme of arrangement is not subject to the tender offer rules or the proxy solicitation rules under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "U.S. Exchange Act"). Accordingly, the Acquisition is subject to the disclosure requirements and practices applicable in the UK to schemes of arrangement which differ from the disclosure requirements of the U.S. tender offer and proxy solicitation rules. Neither the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, nor any securities commission of any state of the United States, has approved or disapproved any offer, or passed comment upon the adequacy or completeness of any of the information included in this announcement. The financial information included in this announcement and the Scheme Document (or, if the Acquisition is implemented by way of an Offer, the Offer Document) has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United Kingdom and thus may not be comparable to financial information of U.S. companies or companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

If, in the future, PhillipCapital exercises its right, with the consent of the Panel (where necessary) and subject to the terms of the Cooperation Agreement, to implement the Acquisition by way of an Offer, which is to be made into the United States, such Offer will be made in compliance with the applicable U.S. laws and regulations.

It may be difficult for U.S. holders of Walker Crips Shares to enforce their rights and any claim arising out of the U.S. federal laws in connection with the Acquisition, since PhillipCapital and Walker Crips are located in a non-U.S. jurisdiction, and some or all of their officers and directors may be residents of a non-U.S. jurisdiction. U.S. holders of Walker Crips Shares may not be able to sue a non-U.S. company or its officers or directors in a non-U.S. court for violations of the U.S. 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 jurisdiction or judgement.

In accordance with normal UK practice and pursuant to Rule 14e-5(b) of the U.S. Exchange Act, PhillipCapital, its nominees, or their brokers (acting as agents), may from time to time make certain purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, Walker Crips Shares outside of the U.S., other than pursuant to the Acquisition, until the date on which the Acquisition becomes Effective, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn. These purchases may occur either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private Acquisitions at negotiated prices and comply with applicable law, including the U.S. Exchange Act. Any information about such purchases will be disclosed as required in the UK, will be reported to the Regulatory News Service of the London Stock Exchange and will be available on the London Stock Exchange website at www.londonstockexchange.com.

U.S. Walker Crips Shareholders should be aware that the Acquisition contemplated herein may have tax consequences in the U.S. and, that such consequences, if any, are not described herein. U.S. Walker Crips Shareholders are urged to consult with legal, tax and financial advisers in connection with making a decision regarding this Acquisition.

Forward-Looking Statements

This announcement (including information incorporated by reference in this announcement), oral statements made regarding the Acquisition, and other information published by PhillipCapital and Walker Crips, contains statements which are, or may be deemed to be, "forward-looking statements". Forward-looking statements are prospective in nature and are not based on historical facts, but rather on current expectations and projections of the management of PhillipCapital and Walker Crips (as applicable) about future events, and are therefore subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from the future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements contained in this announcement include statements relating to the expected effects of the Acquisition on PhillipCapital and Walker Crips (including their future prospects, developments and strategies), the expected timing and scope of the Acquisition and other statements other than historical facts. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as "prepares", "plans", "expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "is subject to", "budget", "projects", "synergy", "strategy", "scheduled", "goal", "estimates", "forecasts", "cost-saving", "intends", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", or "believes", or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "should", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements may include statements relating to the following: (i) future capital expenditures, expenses, revenues, earnings, synergies, economic performance, indebtedness, financial condition, dividend policy, losses and future prospects; (ii) business and management strategies and the expansion and growth of PhillipCapital, Walker Crips, any member of the PhillipCapital Group's or any member of the Walker Crips Group's operations and potential synergies resulting from the Acquisition; (iii) the effects of global economic conditions and governmental regulation on the business of any member of the PhillipCapital Group or any member of the Walker Crips Group; and (iv) the expected timing and scope of the Acquisition. Such forward-looking statements should therefore be construed in the light of such factors.

Although PhillipCapital and Walker Crips believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, PhillipCapital and Walker Crips can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. There are a number of factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Neither PhillipCapital nor Walker Crips assumes any obligation to update or correct the information contained in this announcement (whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise) except as required by applicable law.

The factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the ability to complete the Acquisition; the ability to obtain requisite regulatory and shareholder approvals and the satisfaction of other Conditions on the proposed terms; changes in the global political, economic, business and competitive environments and in market and regulatory forces; changes in future exchange and interest rates; changes in tax rates; future business combinations or disposals; changes in general economic and business conditions; changes in the behaviour of other market participants; and changes in the anticipated benefits from the proposed Acquisition not being realised as a result of: changes in general economic and market conditions in the countries in which PhillipCapital and Walker Crips operate, weak, volatile or illiquid capital and/or credit markets, changes in tax rates, interest rate and currency value fluctuations, the degree of competition in the geographic and business areas in which PhillipCapital and Walker Crips operate and changes in laws or in supervisory expectations or requirements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected, estimated or projected in the forward-looking statements. If any one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialises or if any one or more of the assumptions proves incorrect, actual results may differ materially from those expected, estimated or projected. Such forward-looking statements should therefore be construed in the light of such factors. Neither PhillipCapital nor Walker Crips, nor any of their respective associates or directors, officers or advisers, provides any representation, assurance or guarantee that the occurrence of the events expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements in this announcement will actually occur. You are cautioned not to place any reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Specifically, statements of estimated cost savings and synergies related to future actions and circumstances, by their nature, involve risks, uncertainties and contingencies. As a result, the cost savings and synergies referred to may not be achieved, may be achieved later or sooner than estimated, or those achieved could be materially different from those estimated.

Other than in accordance with their legal or regulatory obligations, neither PhillipCapital nor Walker Crips is under any obligation, and PhillipCapital and Walker Crips expressly disclaim any intention or obligation, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Dealing and Opening Position Disclosure requirements

Under Rule 8.3(a) of the Takeover Code, any person who is interested in one (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).

Under Rule 8.3(b) of the Takeover Code, any person who is, or becomes, interested in one (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, save to the extent that these details have previously been disclosed under Rule 8 of the Takeover Code. A Dealing Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(b) of the Takeover Code 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 of the Takeover Code.

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 of the Takeover Code).
