RNS Number : 1188D  StoneX Group Inc.  05 May 2026

NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY, IN, INTO OR FROM ANY JURISDICTION WHERE TO DO SO WOULD CONSTITUTE
A VIOLATION OF THE RELEVANT LAWS OR REGULATIONS OF SUCH JURISDICTION.

THIS IS AN ANNOUNCEMENT FALLING UNDER RULE 2.8 OF THE CITY CODE ON TAKEOVERS
AND MERGERS (THE "CODE"). THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONTAINS INSIDE INFORMATION

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

5(th) May 2026

StoneX Group Inc. ("StoneX")

No Intention to Make an Offer for CAB Payments Holdings plc ("CAB Payments")

 

On 16(th) April 2026, the Independent Board of CAB Payments announced that it
would be minded to recommend an increased final possible offer by StoneX at a
price of 110p per share.

StoneX is disappointed by the Helios Consortium's subsequent announcement that
it will neither provide an irrevocable undertaking or otherwise support or
accept such an offer.

Having reflected on the Helios Consortium's decision (which prevents StoneX
from acquiring 100% control of CAB Payments), StoneX today confirms that it
does not intend to proceed to make an offer for CAB Payments.

This is a statement to which Rule 2.8 of the Code applies. Accordingly, StoneX
and any person acting in concert with it will be bound by the restrictions
under Rule 2.8 of the Code, save in the circumstances set out below or
otherwise with the consent of the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers (the
"Panel").

Under Note 2 on Rule 2.8 of the Code, StoneX (and any person acting in concert
with it) reserves the right to set aside the restrictions in Rule 2.8 of the
Code within six months of the date of this announcement in any one or more of
the following circumstances: (i) in the event the Helios Consortium's firm
offer is withdrawn or lapses, with the agreement of the Board of CAB Payments;
(ii) a third party (other than the Helios Consortium) announces a firm
intention to make an offer for CAB Payments; (iii) CAB Payments announces a
Rule 9 waiver proposal (as described in Note 1 of the Notes on Dispensations
from Rule 9 of the Code) or a reverse takeover (as defined in the Code); or
(iv) there has been a material change of circumstances (as determined by the
Panel).
