("D9" or the "Company")

 

Update on Minority Shareholder Transactions in Arqiva

 

The Company has received formal notification via a pre-emption notice that
funds managed by IFM Investors ("IFM"), a minority shareholder in Arqiva Group
("Arqiva"), have agreed to sell their minority 14.84% interest in Arqiva to
Polus Capital Management ("Polus") for a consideration of £8.9 million.

 

This follows the recently announced sale of Macquarie-managed vehicles'
minority 26.54% aggregate stake in Arqiva to Polus, which has now closed. The
IFM sale price is consistent with this previous transaction.

 

Polus is an investment management firm with approximately $14 billion in
assets under management and has extensive experience investing in essential
European and UK infrastructure; including utilities, telecoms, infrastructure,
power, and energy.

 

D9 and Polus are aligned in their commitment to work actively with Arqiva's
management in order to enhance the value of Arqiva over time. D9's 51.8%
economic interest in Arqiva remains unchanged.

 

The Company will publish its audited annual results on 15 April 2026.

 

ENDS.
