The Offer is intended to be effected by means of a takeover offer under and within the meaning of Part 28 of the UK Companies Act (the "Takeover Offer"). On 27 August 2025, Anexo announced the proposed cancellation of Anexo Shares to trading on AIM (the "Cancellation") and, subject to and conditional upon the Cancellation being effective, the re-registration as a private limited company and the adoption of new articles of association (together, the "Proposals"). Implementation of the Proposals is conditional upon the approval of the Anexo Shareholders to be sought at a general meeting of the Company to be held at 10.00 a.m. on 12 September 2025. Bidco owns approximately 75.8% of the Anexo Shares in issue and announced in the Offer Document that it will vote in favour of the Proposals. Accordingly, it is expected that the Proposals will pass. Subject the Proposals passing, the Cancellation is expected to take effect at or shortly after 7:00 a.m. (London time) on 24 September 2025, with the final time for trading Anexo Shares expected to be 4:30 p.m. (London time) on 23 September 2025.

Net profit margin: 6.7% Last year net profit margin: 13% This is considered a minor risk. A large drop in profit margin could indicate the company does not have strong competitive advantages or it is yet to establish itself and its core business.

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of German stocks, typically moving 7.5% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 4.8% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks Latest financial reports are more than 6 months old (reported June 2023 fiscal period end).

Anexo Group Plc Announces Successful Supreme Court Appeal Anexo announced a victory in the Supreme Court which sets an important precedent concerning the recovery of contractual liabilities, remoteness and the burden of proof. The case (Armstead v RSA) directly concerned whether the victim of a non-fault traffic accident is able to recover from the negligent driver's insurance company any contractual liability which the victim owes the hire company; in this case the hire charges which were forfeited by the hire company while the vehicle was being repaired. On a broader scale, the ruling covers any situation where a claimant seeks to recover contractual liability to a third party. In the original hearing and in two subsequent appeals, the Courts had found that such liabilities were not recoverable. The Supreme Court held that each of these Courts was wrong in their reasoning and conclusion. The ruling establishes the principle that a claimant can recover any liabilities incurred as a result of an accident which may be owed to a third party. In order to be reasonable, the liability needs to be reasonably foreseeable; in this instance, a pre-estimate of the loss to the hire company. In a judgment which will have wider implications, the Supreme Court held that the burden of proof in such cases falls on the defendant. In common with other defences which seek to reduce a claimant's recoverable losses (e.g. intervening cause, failure to mitigate, contributory negligence or scope of duty), it is now confirmed that it is for the defendant to prove that any loss is too remote to be recoverable. New Risk • Feb 03
New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: €91.2m (US$98.4m) This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 4.8% per year for the foreseeable future. Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 4.8% per year for the foreseeable future.
