ASX Announcement Bapcor Limited (ASX: BAP)

27 February 2026

Successful completion of Institutional Component of Equity Raising

Bapcor Limited (“Bapcor” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the successful completion of the institutional component (“Institutional Entitlement Offer”) of its $150 million fully underwritten 1 for 1.36 accelerated pro rata non-renounceable entitlement offer (“Entitlement Offer”) and the $50m fully underwritten 'pro rata' institutional placement (“’Pro Rata’ Placement”) of new fully paid ordinary shares (“New Shares”) announced on Thursday, 26 February 2026 ("Equity Raising").

The 'Pro Rata' Placement and Institutional Entitlement Offer closed before market open on Friday, 27 February 2026 and raised gross proceeds of approximately $157 million, with strong take up from investors. In respect of the Institutional Entitlement Offer, eligible institutional shareholders elected to take up 94% of their entitlements.

The retail component of the Entitlement Offer, which is fully underwritten, is expected to raise a further $43 million. In total, the Equity Raising is expected to raise approximately $200 million.

Under the 'Pro Rata' Placement, all existing eligible institutional shareholders who bid for their pro rata allocation of New Shares were allocated their full pro rata bid on a best endeavours basis. The New Shares to be issued under the ‘Pro Rata’ Placement will be issued out of Bapcor’s existing placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, which has been upsized by a ‘supersize’ placement waiver granted by ASX.

New Shares in respect of institutional entitlements not taken up by eligible and ineligible shareholders under the Institutional Entitlement Offer were offered and placed to institutional investors.

Bapcor’s shares are expected to resume normal trading on the ASX today on an ex-entitlement basis. New Shares offered under the 'Pro Rata' Placement and the Institutional Entitlement Offer are expected to be allotted and commence trading on the ASX on Friday, 6 March 2026 and will rank equally with existing fully paid ordinary shares of Bapcor quoted on the ASX from the date of allotment.

Retail Entitlement Offer

The retail component of the Entitlement Offer (“Retail Entitlement Offer”) is expected to open on Thursday, 5 March 2026 and close at 5.00pm (Melbourne time) on Thursday, 19 March 2026.

Eligible retail shareholders who hold Bapcor shares as at 7.00pm on Monday, 2 March 2026 and have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand or other permitted jurisdictions, and who are not located in the United States, will be invited to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer at the same price as the 'Pro Rata' Placement and the Institutional Entitlement Offer, being $0.60 per New Share (“Offer Price”). Eligible retail shareholders who elect to take up all of their entitlement may also apply for additional New Shares in the Retail Entitlement Offer at the Offer Price, up to a maximum of 35%

of their entitlement under an oversubscription facility ("Oversubscription Facility"). The additional New Shares to be issued under the Oversubscription Facility will only be available where there is a shortfall between applications received from eligible retail shareholders and the number of New Shares proposed to be issued under the Retail Entitlement Offer. Bapcor retains the flexibility to scale back applications in the Oversubscription Facility.

The Retail Entitlement Offer is non renounceable and entitlements to subscribe for New Shares will not be tradable or otherwise transferable.

Further details about the Retail Entitlement Offer will be set out in the Retail Entitlement Offer information booklet (“Retail Offer Booklet”), which will also enclose personalised entitlement and acceptance forms. Bapcor expects to lodge the Retail Offer Booklet with the ASX and dispatch to eligible retail shareholders on Thursday, 5 March 2026. Eligible retail shareholders are encouraged to read the Retail Offer Booklet in its entirety, in particular the risk factors, and should seek financial advice if they are uncertain of whether or not to participate.

A timetable for the Equity Raising is set out in annexure A to this announcement.
