THIS ANNOUNCEMENT RELATES TO THE DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION THAT QUALIFIED OR MAY HAVE QUALIFIED AS INSIDE INFORMATION WITHIN THE MEANING OF ARTICLE 7(1) OF THE MARKET ABUSE REGULATION (EU) 596/2014.

8 June 2026. Just Group plc (the Company) announces today an invitation to holders of its £250,000,000 9.000 per cent. Guaranteed Subordinated Notes due 2026 (ISIN: XS1504958817) of which £150,000,000 remains outstanding (the Notes) to tender any and all of their Notes for purchase by the Company for cash (the Offer) subject to the terms and conditions contained in the tender offer memorandum dated 8 June 2026 (the Tender Offer Memorandum) prepared by the Company for the Offer, including (without limitation) the satisfaction (or waiver) of the New Financing Condition (as defined below).  The Offer is subject to the offer restrictions set out below and as more fully described in the Tender Offer Memorandum.

Copies of the Tender Offer Memorandum are (subject to distribution restrictions) available from the Tender Agent as set out below. Capitalised terms used in this announcement but not otherwise defined have the meanings given to them in the Tender Offer Memorandum.

Summary of the Offer

Description of the Notes ISIN /

Common Code
Outstanding nominal amount Maturity date Purchase Price Amount subject to the Offer
£250,000,000 9.000 per cent. Guaranteed Subordinated Notes due 2026 XS1504958817 / 150495881 £150,000,000 26 October 2026 101.800 per cent., equal to £1018.00 per £1,000 in nominal amount of Notes Any and all

Rationale for the Offer

The purpose of the Offer is to optimise the capital structure and debt profile of the Group.

Alongside the Offer, the Group has also announced the launch of a proposed issue of the New Notes. The Company intends that the net proceeds of the issue of the New Notes will be used by the Company for its general corporate purposes, including to fund the purchase of the Notes pursuant to the Offer.

The issue of the New Notes and the Offer are intended to extend duration and reduce the debt refinancing risk of the Group. The Notes purchased by the Company pursuant to the Offer are expected to be cancelled and will not be re-issued or re-sold.

Purchase Price and Accrued Interest

The Company will, on the Settlement Date, pay for Notes validly tendered and accepted by it for purchase pursuant to the Offer a cash purchase price of 101.800 per cent. of the aggregate nominal amount of the Notes (the Purchase Price).

The Company will also pay an Accrued Interest Payment in respect of Notes accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer.

Acceptance and No Scaling

If the Company decides to accept valid tenders of Notes for purchase pursuant to the Offer, it will (subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the New Financing Condition on or prior to the Settlement Date) accept for purchase all Notes that are validly tendered pursuant to the Offer in full, with no pro rata scaling.

New Financing Condition

The Company announces today its intention to issue a new series of sterling-denominated subordinated tier 2 notes (the New Notes), subject to market conditions. 

Whether the Company will purchase any Notes validly tendered in the Offer is subject, without limitation, to the successful completion (in the sole determination of the Company) of the issue of the New Notes (the New Financing Condition) on or prior to the Settlement Date unless the Company (in its sole and absolute discretion) elects to waive the New Financing Condition.

Even if the New Financing Condition is satisfied or waived, the Company is under no obligation to accept for purchase any Notes tendered pursuant to the Offer. The acceptance for purchase by the Company of Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Offer is at the sole and absolute discretion of the Company, and tenders may be rejected by the Company for any reason.

Any investment decision to purchase any New Notes should be made solely on the basis of the information contained in the final offering memorandum prepared by the Company in connection with the issue and listing of the New Notes (including any amendment or supplement thereto, the Final Offering Memorandum), and no reliance is to be placed on any other representations other than those contained in the Final Offering Memorandum.

For the avoidance of doubt, the ability to purchase any New Notes is subject to all applicable securities laws and regulations in force in any relevant jurisdiction (including the jurisdiction of the relevant Noteholder and the selling restrictions set out in the Final Offering Memorandum). It is the sole responsibility of each Noteholder to satisfy itself that it is eligible to purchase the New Notes.

The New Notes have not been, and will not be, offered or sold in the United States. Nothing in this announcement nor the Tender Offer Memorandum constitutes an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the New Notes in the United States or any other jurisdiction.  Securities may not be offered, sold or delivered in the United States absent registration under, or an exemption from the registration requirements of, the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act).  The New Notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States and may not be offered, sold or delivered, directly or indirectly, within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act (each a U.S. Person)).

Compliance information for the New Notes:

MiFID II/UK MiFIR professionals / ECPs-only / No EEA PRIIPs KID or UK PRIIPs KID/CCI product summary - Manufacturer target market is eligible counterparties and professional clients only (all distribution channels). No EEA PRIIPs KID or UK PRIIPs KID/CCI product summary has been or will be prepared as the New Notes are not available to retail investors in the EEA or the United Kingdom.

See the preliminary offering memorandum dated 8 June 2026 prepared by the Company in connection with the issue and listing of the New Notes (including any amendment or supplement thereto, the Preliminary Offering Memorandum) for further information.

No action has been or will be taken in any jurisdiction in relation to the New Notes to permit a public offering of securities.

Allocation of the New Notes

When considering allocation of the New Notes, the Company may give preference to those Noteholders that, prior to such allocation, have given a confirmation to either Dealer Manager that they have validly tendered or have given a firm intention to either Dealer Manager that they intend to tender their Notes for purchase pursuant to the Offer and if so, the aggregate nominal amount of the Notes validly tendered, or intended to be tendered, by such Noteholder. Therefore, a Noteholder that wishes to subscribe for New Notes in addition to tendering its existing Notes for purchase pursuant to the Offer may be eligible to receive, at the sole and absolute discretion of the Company, priority in the allocation of the New Notes, subject to the issue of the New Notes and such Noteholder making a separate application for the purchase of such New Notes to a Dealer Manager (in its capacity as a joint lead manager of the issue of the New Notes) in accordance with the standard new issue procedures of such Dealer Manager. Any such preference will, subject to the sole and absolute discretion of the Company, be applicable up to the aggregate nominal amount of Notes tendered by such Noteholder (or in respect of which such Noteholder has indicated a firm intention to tender as described above) pursuant to the Offer. However, the Company is not obliged to allocate any New Notes to a Noteholder that has confirmed it has validly tendered or indicated a firm intention to tender its Notes for purchase pursuant to the Offer and, if any such New Notes are allocated, the nominal amount thereof may be less or more than the nominal amount of Notes tendered by such Noteholder and accepted for purchase by the Company pursuant to the Offer. Any such allocation will also, among other factors, take into account the minimum denomination of the New Notes (being £100,000).

All allocations of the New Notes, while being considered by the Company as set out above, will be made in accordance with customary new issue allocation processes and procedures in the sole and absolute discretion of the Company. In the event that a Noteholder validly tenders Notes pursuant to the Offer, such Notes will remain subject to such tender and the conditions of the Offer as set out in the Tender Offer Memorandum irrespective of whether that Noteholder receives all, part or none of any allocation of New Notes for which it has applied.

Noteholders should note that the pricing and allocation of the New Notes are expected to take place prior to the Expiration Deadline for the Offer and any Noteholder that wishes to subscribe for New Notes in addition to tendering Notes for purchase pursuant to the Offer should therefore, as soon as practicable and prior to the pricing and allocation of the New Notes, confirm to either Dealer Manager that it has validly tendered or provide to either Dealer Manager any indications of a firm intention to tender Notes for purchase pursuant to the Offer and the quantum of Notes that it has tendered or intends to tender, as applicable, in order for this to be taken into account as part of the New Notes allocation process.

General

The Offer begins on 8 June 2026 (the Launch Date) and will expire at 4.00 p.m. (London time) on 15 June 2026 (the Expiration Deadline), unless extended, re-opened or terminated as provided in the Tender Offer Memorandum.

In order to be eligible to receive the Purchase Price, Noteholders must validly tender their Notes by the Expiration Deadline, by delivering, or arranging to have delivered on their behalf, a valid Tender Instruction that is received by the Tender Agent by the Expiration Deadline. The deadlines set by any intermediary or clearing system will be earlier than the deadlines specified above.
