Inland Homes Anticipates Admission of its Shares to AIM to be Cancelled on 4 October 2023 The directors of Inland Homes plc advised that they have resolved to proceed with the process of appointing David Hudson and Phil Armstrong of FRP Advisory Trading Ltd. as Administrators of the Company and that certain of its subsidiaries which have granted floating charges have filed notices of intention to appoint Administrators. This announcement provides background to this decision. On 24 July 2023, Inland announced the outcome of a review by FRP Advisory Trading Ltd. (FRP) into related party relationships and transactions and other matters. As part of the process to complete the audit for the year to 30 September 2022 (‘FY22’), Inland commissioned a further limited review by FRP designed to identify, amongst other matters, whether control breaches or incomplete disclosures impacted other areas of corporate governance and financial reporting in the period 1 October 2020 to 30 September 2022 including material judgements and estimates. The review conducted by FRP, on which they reported on 22 September 2023, has provided sufficient indication that further work is still required into material judgements and estimates applied to the financial statements both for the year to 30 September 2022 and for the year to 30 September 2021 (‘FY21’) before the preparation of the financial statements could be completed and then audited. The extent of further work and cost required to complete the preparation of the financial statements and the audit for FY22 cannot be certain at this stage, and the timeframe within which this might be feasible is not known. The Company continues to be in active discussions with HSBC regarding waivers for the breaches announced on 11 September 2023. Inland also anticipates that it is likely to be in breach of covenants with other lenders shortly and it has already initiated discussions with such lenders. As set out above, the extent and cost of the work necessary to complete the preparation of the financial statements and the audit for FY22 and the timeframe within which this might be feasible is not known. In light of the circumstances set out above regarding the financial position of the Company, the Company considers that it may be difficult to complete the work necessary for the preparation of financial statements and the audit for FY22. Trading of the Company's shares on AIM was suspended on 3 April 2023 and pursuant to AIM Rule 41 admission of a company's shares to AIM will be cancelled where trading in its shares has been suspended for six months. Accordingly, Inland anticipates that admission of its shares to AIM will be cancelled on 4 October 2023. Announcement • Sep 20

Inland Homes plc Announces Major Planning Application Approval Inland Homes plc announced that its asset management division has received, on behalf of the third-party project investor, a resolution to grant planning permission at Cavalry Barracks in West Hounslow for a mixed-use development comprising 1,525 homes and approximately 2,700sqm of commercial space. The Cavalry Barracks was the Group's fifth transaction with the Ministry of Defence and its larger to date, with an estimated gross development value in the region of £600 million. The Group identified this site in 2020 and, following close consultation with the London Borough of Hounslow, submitted the planning application in March 2021. Under the asset management model, in return for its land and planning expertise and the management of the project, the Group has, to date, accrued fees at achieved project milestones of £19.5 million . The Group continues to act on behalf of the project investors to finalise the terms of the Section 106 agreement which is expected to be signed within the next few months and then support the investor through the site disposal plan, which will crystallise the value and facilitate the payment of the fees earned by the Group. The former Ministry of Defence site is one of the largest remaining undeveloped brownfield sites in London at 36.7 acres and with excellent public transport links to nearby Heathrow Airport and central London, the site location is strategically important. The sympathetic redevelopment of the Cavalry Barracks will support the London Borough of Hounslow in serving the demand for and delivering much-needed, additional, low-cost housing and the ongoing regeneration of the area. As part of the approved plans, 14 Grade II listed and 9 locally listed buildings will be retained and 10.6 acres of open space provided.

The site has been the subject of third-party requests to call in for determination by the Secretary of State but it has been decided that the application for 514 homes can be determined at a local level by the Greater London Authority. The site was approved by the Mayor of London in September 2020 and will now be subject to signing of a Section 106 agreement.
