On the Company's admission to AIM ("Admission") the above website address will

COMPANY BUSINESS (INCLUDING MAIN COUNTRY OF OPERATION) OR, IN THE CASE OF AN
INVESTING COMPANY, DETAILS OF ITS INVESTING POLICY). IF THE ADMISSION IS
SOUGHT AS A RESULT OF A REVERSE TAKE-OVER UNDER RULE 14, THIS SHOULD BE
STATED:
One Health is a provider of medical procedures on behalf of the NHS,
delivering increased capacity in areas where there is a shortage in
underserved areas to help reduce NHS waiting lists and provide access to high
quality NHS care to those who need it most. The Company is focused largely
across four specialties being: Orthopaedics, Spinal Surgery, General Surgery
and Gynaecology. One Health forms a fundamental part of the local NHS supply
chain, operating as part of the 'Patient Choice' initiative, which was
introduced by the Labour Government in 2006 through the National Health
Service Act. Under this policy, patients, whose GPs have referred them for
potential surgery, have the right to choose their own treatment provider for
certain procedures through Patient Choice. This may be the NHS, a voluntary
provider, or companies operating in the independent sector. Such companies,
including One Health, are known as Independent Sector Providers.
One Health engages over 100 NHS consultants (including anaesthetists) who
sub-specialise in the various surgeries offered by the Company, through a
growing network of third party community-based outreach clinics and
independent hospitals, with One Health renting theatre space from independent
hospitals for procedures. Currently, the Company's activities are focused in
West and South Yorkshire, North and South Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire,
Leicestershire and Derbyshire, with further geographical expansion planned
across England
Surgeries provided by One Health are paid by the NHS in line with the
appropriate NHS tariff for the procedure provided. This approach is beneficial
to patients, allowing them access to NHS provided services with shorter
waiting times in comparison to the NHS. Theatre schedules remain undisrupted
by emergency procedures, ensuring surgeries proceed as planned, with limited
delay, which results in significantly lower waiting times than the NHS
directly provided procedures. Patients are seen by consultants in local
clinics with procedures then being carried out at independent hospitals where
One Health rents theatre space and time.
In H1 25, One Health treated 7,857 new patients, carried out 19,674
consultations and performed 3,427 surgical procedures. One Health uses
surgeons and anaesthetists as independent contractors most of whom are
employed by the NHS utilising their excess time available, often during their
days off or weekends. The Company currently works with over 100 professionals
across 9 independent hospitals and 37 mainly CQC registered One Health
outreach clinics.
Aligning with the Company's long-term strategy, as outlined initially upon its
AQSE IPO, and most recently in its FY25 interim results, an investment into
surgical hubs is being pursued to increase the Company's surgical capacity in
regions where access to operating theatres and NHS infrastructure is limited.
The Company's main country of operation is the England.

trades on the Apex Segment of the AQSE Growth Market with a market

DETAILS OF THE APPLICANT'S STRATEGY FOLLOWING ADMISSION INCLUDING, IN THE CASE
OF AN INVESTING COMPANY, DETAILS OF ITS INVESTING STRATEGY:
One Health's growth strategy is strongly aligned to the current market
dynamics, in addressing and responding to the challenges faced by the NHS due
to increasing demand with limited resources. The ongoing demand for NHS third
party partnerships in areas with insufficient NHS resource allocation
continues to prevail as an opportunity for One Health in its expansion story.
To date, the Company's asset-light business model has proven successful in
supporting regions where both NHS and independent sector capacity are
constrained.
One Health's growth strategy builds upon its organic growth and surgical hubs
plan. These hubs are designed to deliver high-volume, low complexity
surgeries, which, when combined with reduced operational costs, will enhance
scalability and deliver enhanced EBITDA and earnings growth. The Group is
currently planning to open a new facility in an underserved area, with
completion expected c. 12 months following construction. This new hub will
feature cutting edge technology and facilities, initially enabling surgeries
to be performed daily. The hub is expected to generate revenues from £6
million to £9 million per annum with an anticipated gross margin of c.30%.
