Receipt of requisition notice in respect of the

2026 Annual General Meeting

The Board of Workspace Group PLC (the "Board" and the "Company" respectively) acknowledges receipt of a requisition notice (the "Requisition") pursuant to section 338 of the Companies Act 2006 requesting the circulation of ordinary resolutions to be considered on a poll at the Company's next Annual General Meeting, which is scheduled to be held on 23 July 2026 (the "AGM").

The Requisition sets out ordinary resolutions to be proposed at the AGM in relation to the removal of five of the current Non-Executive Directors, and the appointment of four new Non-Executive Directors.

The Requisition has been made by Vidacos Nominees Limited a/c 2062, acting as nominee and on behalf of Saba Capital Management L.P. ("Saba Capital"), a US hedge fund, which has interests in approximately 18.21 per cent of the Company's issued share capital. 

The Board has engaged constructively with Saba Capital following the publication of its letter of 8 January 2026, which set out a proposal to address the discount to net asset value by means of a managed wind-down of the Company over a 12-month period. Following that engagement, and having properly considered Saba Capital's proposal, the Board concluded, and notified Saba Capital, that the proposal is not achievable, nor will it maximise value for shareholders, and so is not in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole. Nevertheless, the Board remains open to continuing a constructive dialogue with Saba Capital.

As set out by the Company's new Chief Executive Officer, Charlie Green, in the business update on 17 April 2026, Workspace has a high-quality portfolio and operates in a market with continued long-term structural demand. The Company has a clear path to accelerate its strategy to reposition and elevate its offering to deliver sustainable earnings growth and value for all its shareholders. The Board firmly believes in the strength of the Company's existing strategy and further detail will be provided at its Full Year Results on 10 June 2026.

The Board, together with its advisers, is carefully reviewing the Requisition. Shareholders are advised to take no action in respect of the Requisition at this time.

Further announcements will be made if and when appropriate.

J.P. Morgan Cazenove, Rothschild & Co and Stifel are advising the Company.

The person responsible for arranging release of this announcement is Carmelina Carfora, Company Secretary.
