27 April 2026

FRP ADVISORY GROUP PLC

("FRP", the "Group" or the "Company")

 

Shareholder lock-ins

FRP Advisory Group plc, a leading national specialist business advisory firm,
announces that Geoff Rowley and Jeremy French, together with existing and
former Partners of the Company (together "Partner Shareholders"), entered into
lock-in deeds with the Company on 25 April 2026 ("Lock-In Deeds").

Pursuant to the terms of the Lock-In Deeds, the Partner Shareholders have
agreed, save in accordance with the liquidity arrangements described below and
in other limited circumstances, not to dispose of ordinary shares of £0.001
each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") until 1 September 2031 (the "End
Date").

The Lock-In Deeds entered into on 25 April 2026 by the Partner Shareholders
replace the lock-in agreements they entered into on 23 May 2024 and which were
due to expire on 31 July 2026. The number of Ordinary Shares subject to these
Lock-In Deeds is approximately 47.1 million Ordinary Shares, representing
approximately 18.2 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital.

The Company recognises the importance of appropriately incentivising existing
and future Partners of the Group and enabling them to benefit from the value
that they have created, and that former Partners wish to realise their
investment in the Company in due course. Accordingly, during the term of the
Lock-In Deeds, the Company intends that there will be managed sell-downs at
times when the Company considers there to be sufficient buying demand to
maintain an orderly market. The Company continues to view the Company's
Employee Benefit Trust ("EBT") as an important part of the Group's
remuneration strategy and as a mechanism to ensure the appropriate
distribution of Ordinary Shares across the partnership group. It may be that
the EBT will be a purchaser of shares in future managed sell-downs. The EBT
currently holds approximately 8.8 million Ordinary Shares.

The information contained within this announcement is deemed by the Group to
constitute inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of Regulation (EU)
596/2014 which is part of UK law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal)
Act 2018. Upon the publication of this announcement, this inside information
is now considered to be in the public domain.

The person responsible for arranging the release of this announcement on
behalf of the Company is Gavin Jones, Chief Financial Officer of the Company.
