Inspired Plc Makes an Application to the London Stock Exchange for the Proposed Cancellation of the Admission to Trading of Inspired Shares on AIM Further to the announcement made on 15 August 2025 on the Offer made by Bidco being declared Unconditional and that each of the Rule 15 Proposals were declared unconditional, Inspired announced that it has made an application to the London Stock Exchange for the proposed cancellation of the admission to trading of Inspired Shares on AIM (the "Cancellation") in accordance with Rule 41 of the AIM Rules for Companies (the "AIM Rules"). Under the AIM Rules, the Cancellation can only take place after the expiry of a period of 20 business days from the date on which the notice of Cancellation is given. The Cancellation is, therefore, expected to take effect at 7.00am (London time) on 30 September 2025, being 20 business days from the date of this announcement. Inspired has been informed that Bidco intends, promptly following Cancellation, to procure that Inspired shall be re-registered as a private company. Inspired has also been informed that Bidco does not intend to put in place a matched bargain facility upon which Inspired Shares can be traded. As such, it should be noted that: The Cancellation will substantially reduce the liquidity and marketability of any Inspired Shares in respect of which the Offer has not been validly accepted at that time and their value may be affected as a consequence. Following the Cancellation becoming effective and the Inspired Shares ceasing to be admitted to trading on AIM, Inspired Shareholders who have not validly accepted the Offer will own shares in an unlisted company and accordingly will not benefit from the protections under the AIM Rules that were afforded to them whilst Inspired was so admitted. Following the re-registration becoming effective, any remaining Inspired Shareholders would become minority shareholders in a privately controlled limited company and may be unable to sell their Inspired Shares. As noted in the Offer Document, HGGC intends to suspend any ordinary course dividends or other distributions by Inspired, and there can be no certainty that the Inspired Shareholders shall again be offered as much for the Inspired Shares held by them as under the Offer. Also, following the Offer closing, Inspired Shareholders may not be able to sell their Inspired Shares. The Offer will remain open for acceptances until further notice. At least 14 calendar days' notice will be given by an announcement before the Offer is closed. Subject to giving at least 14 calendar days' notice, Bidco can close the Offer at any point, following which Inspired Shareholders who have not accepted the Offer will be unable to accept the Offer. Furthermore, Inspired Shareholders are reminded that, if Bidco receives acceptances under the Offer in respect of, or otherwise acquires, 90% or more of the Inspired Shares to which the Offer relates, Bidco intends to exercise its rights pursuant to the statutory squeeze-out provisions of Chapter 3 of Part 28 of the Companies Act to acquire compulsorily, the remaining Inspired Shares to which the Offer relates. Accordingly, Inspired Shareholders are strongly encouraged to submit their acceptances as soon as possible to enable them to receive payment at the earliest convenience. Tillkännagivande • Aug 21
Bidco to Procure That Inspired Makes an Application to the London Stock Exchange for the Cancellation of the Admission to Trading of Inspired Shares on AIM On 26 June 2025, the boards of directors of each of Intrepid Bidco Limited ("Bidco") and Inspired PLC ("Inspired") announced that they had reached agreement on the terms of a recommended cash offer pursuant to which Bidco, a newly formed company owned indirectly by funds managed and/or advised by HGGC, LLC and its affiliates ("HGGC"), would acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Inspired (the "Offer"). On 15 August 2025, Bidco announced that the Offer has been declared Unconditional and that each of the Rule 15 Proposals were declared unconditional accordingly. Bidco further announced that the Offer and the Rule 15 Proposals will remain open for acceptances until further notice. As the Offer has been declared Unconditional and Bidco has acquired more than 75% the Inspired Shares, Bidco will procure that Inspired makes an application to the London Stock Exchange for the cancellation of the admission to trading of Inspired Shares on AIM, such cancellation to be effective on completion of the squeeze-out process. It is anticipated that, subject to any applicable requirements of the London Stock Exchange, cancellation of admission to trading of Inspired Shares on AIM shall take effect no earlier than 20 Business Days after such application is made or completion of the squeeze-out process. If Bidco receives: (i) acceptances under the Offer in respect of, and/or otherwise acquires, 90% or more of the Inspired Shares to which the Offer relates; and (ii) acceptances under the Warrant Offer in respect of, and/or otherwise acquires, 90% or more of the Inspired Warrants to which the Warrant Offer relates, Bidco intends to exercise its rights pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 3 of Part 28 of the Companies Act to acquire compulsorily any Inspired Shares and/or Inspired Warrants (as applicable) not acquired or agreed to be acquired by or on behalf of Bidco pursuant to the Offer or Warrant Offer (as applicable) or otherwise on the same terms as the Offer or Warrant Offer (as applicable). Following the Inspired Shares having been de-listed, Bidco intends to procure that Inspired shall be re-registered as a private company. Tillkännagivande • Jun 29

Inspired to Re-Register as Private After Merger Completion The boards of directors of Intrepid Bidco Limited ("Bidco") and Inspired PLC ("Inspired") announced that they have reached agreement on the terms and conditions of a recommended all cash offer to be made by Bidco for the entire issued, and to be issued, share capital of Inspired, to be implemented by way of a takeover offer within the meaning of Chapter 3 of Part 28 of the Companies Act (the "Offer"). If Bidco receives acceptances under the Offer in respect of, and/or otherwise acquires, 90% or more of the Inspired Shares to which the Offer relates, Bidco intends to exercise its rights pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 3 of Part 28 of the Act to acquire compulsorily any Inspired Shares not acquired or agreed to be acquired by or on behalf of Bidco pursuant to the Offer or otherwise on the same terms as the Offer. After the Offer becomes or is declared unconditional and if Bidco has, by virtue of its shareholdings (and the shareholdings of its wholly-owned subsidiaries) and acceptances of the Offer, acquired or agreed to acquire issued share capital carrying 75% or more of the voting rights of Inspired(or the appropriate special resolutions are otherwise passed), it is intended that Bidco shall procure that Inspired makes an application to the London Stock Exchange for the cancellation of the admission to trading of Inspired Shares on AIM. It is also intended that following the Offer becoming or being declared wholly unconditional and the admission to trading on AIM of Inspired Shares having been cancelled, Bidco intends to procure that Inspired is re-registered as a private limited company under the relevant provisions of the Companies Act. Should Bidco not receive sufficient acceptances to the Offer to proceed with procuring such application for the cancellation of the admission to trading of Inspired Shares on AIM, then Bidco currently intends for Inspired to remain a public company and for Inspired Shares to remain admitted to trading on AIM, but for Inspired to comply only with the minimum requirements prescribed by applicable laws for public companies with shares admitted to trading on AIM.

HGGC Managed Funds and Affiliates Are in Discussions with Inspired Regarding A Possible Cash Offer The Boards of Inspired Plc (AIM:INSE) and HGGC, LLC announced that funds managed and/or advised by HGGC, LLC and its affiliates ("HGGC") are in detailed discussions with Inspired regarding a possible cash offer of 81p per Inspired share, to be made by HGGC and/or a newly formed entity controlled by HGGC for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Inspired (the "HGGC Superior Proposal"). HGGC is the third party that was referenced in the response document published by Inspired on 21 May 2025 in response to the unsolicited offer for the Company from Regent Acquisitions 2025 Limited ("Regent") which the Board of Inspired has unanimously recommended that shareholders reject. It is expected that the HGGC Superior Proposal would be structured as a takeover offer (as defined in Chapter 3 of Part 28 of the Companies Act 2006 (the "Act")) with an acceptance condition set at a level that would be capable of being satisfied without requiring Regent or any affiliated entity to accept the offer in respect of its existing interests in the Company's shares. It is also expected that HGGC would reserve the right to implement the HGGC Superior Proposal as a Scheme of Arrangement pursuant to Part 26 of the Act with the consent of the Takeover Panel and with the Company's agreement. The Board of Inspired has indicated to HGGC that, should a firm offer be made on the financial terms of the HGGC Superior Proposal and with an acceptance condition set at this level, it would be minded to recommend such an offer to Inspired shareholders, subject to the agreement of the other terms of the offer. The Board of Inspired has considered, in particular, the potential effects of the offer by Regent Acquisitions 2025 Limited ("Regent's Offer") on the Company's business and potential future market value. HGGC intends to reduce the terms of the HGGC Superior Proposal by the amount of the final dividend for the year ended 31 December 2024 of 1p per Inspired Share proposed by the Inspired Directors on 31 March 2025 (the "Final Dividend") if paid. In light of this, the Board of Inspired would be minded to withdraw the Final Dividend, should a firm offer be made on the financial terms of the HGGC Superior Proposal. There can be no certainty that an offer will be made. A further announcement will be made when appropriate. Inspired shareholders are urged to take no action in respect of Regent's Offer. The person responsible for arranging this announcement on behalf of Inspired is Paul Connor, Chief Financial Officer. Tillkännagivande • May 16

Regent Gas Holdings Limited, a member of the Wider Regent Group approximately 29.36% of Inspired's issued ordinary share capital.
The Offer will be subject to the applicable requirements of the City Code and the Panel. The Offer is conditional upon valid acceptances of the Offer having been received (and not validly withdrawn in accordance with the rules and requirements of the Code and the terms of the Offer) by no later than 1.00pm (London time) on the First Closing Date (or such later times and/or dates as Regent may specify, subject to the rules of the Code and where applicable with the consent of the Panel) in respect of such number of Inspired Shares which, when aggregated with the Inspired Shares held by Regent, or any person acting in concert with Regent, at the date of the Offer and any Inspired Shares acquired or agreed to be acquired by Regent, or any person acting in concert with Regent, on or after such date, carry more than 50% of the voting rights then exercisable at a general meeting of Inspired, including for this purpose any such voting rights attaching to Inspired Shares that are unconditionally allotted but not issued before the Offer becomes or is declared unconditional whether pursuant to the exercise of any outstanding subscription or conversion rights or otherwise. For the purpose of this condition, Inspired Shares which have been unconditionally allotted shall be deemed to carry the voting rights they will carry upon being entered into the register of members of Inspired. The Acceptance Condition cannot be waived.

Regent, at its sole discretion, may extend the Offer beyond the First Closing Date, and will make a further announcement at that time. As of April 23, 2025, the Board of Inspired Plc unanimously believes that the Offer fundamentally undervalues Inspired as the board believes the Regent offer represents only a 12% premium to the closings hare price of Inspired prior to the announcement and is pitched at a level below where the shares were trading only last month. The Board is receiving financial advice from Evercore and will make its formal response to the Offer in due course. The Board urges shareholders not to take any action at this time.

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: €92.6m (US$99.1m) 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 Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (2.7x net interest cover).
