Following the announcement on 8 September 2025 of its expected intention to
float, Project Glow Topco Limited, the ultimate holding company of The Beauty
Tech Group Limited, today confirms its intention to undertake an initial
public offering and certain details of the Offer.

the United Kingdom and elsewhere outside the United States in reliance on
Regulation S, alongside an offering to retail investors through Retail Book
Limited ("RetailBook") in the United Kingdom only (the "Retail Offer"). Retail
investors would be able to participate through RetailBook's partner network of
investment platforms, retail brokers and wealth managers, subject to such
partners' participation.
· Immediately following Admission, the Company is targeting a free float of at
least 25% of issued share capital and expects that it would be eligible for
inclusion in the FTSE UK indices.
· In connection with the Offer, each of the Company's directors and all existing
shareholders are expected to agree to customary lock-up arrangements (subject
to customary exceptions) restricting the disposal of Shares for a period of
time following Admission.
· Any additional details in relation to the Offer, together with any changes to
corporate governance arrangements, would be disclosed in a Prospectus, if and
when published.

In the member states of the European Economic Area ("EEA"), this announcement
is only addressed to and directed at persons who are qualified investors
within the meaning of the Prospectus Regulation ("Qualified Investors"). The
term "Prospectus Regulation" means either (a) Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 of the
European Parliament and of the Council (as amended) on the prospectus to be
published when securities are offered to the public or admitted to trading on
a regulated market; and repealing Directive 2003/71/EC, or (b) the United

reasonably believed by the Company to be persons of a kind described in
Article 19 (Investment Professionals), Article 48 (High Net Worth Individuals)

(within the meaning of section 21 of FSMA) in connection with the sale of any
securities of the Company may otherwise lawfully be communicated or caused to

Persons who fall outside these categories in the EEA or the United Kingdom,
respectively, should not rely on or act upon the matters communicated in this
announcement. Any investment activity to which this announcement relates (i)

This announcement may contain forward-looking statements, which relate, inter
alia, to the Group's proposed strategy, plans and objectives. Forward-looking
statements are sometimes identified by the use of terminology such as (but not
limited to) "believes", "expects", "may", "will", "could", "shall", "risk",
"intends", "estimates", "aims", "plans", "predicts", "continues", "assumes",
"positions" or "anticipates" or the negatives thereof, other variations
thereon or comparable terminology. By its very nature, such forward-looking
information requires the Company to make assumptions that may or may not
materialise. Although the Directors consider that these assumptions are
reasonable, such forward-looking statements may involve known and unknown
risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors beyond the
control of the Company that could cause the actual performance or achievements
of the Group to be materially different from such forward-looking statements.
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results and, in
particular, past performance of the Group cannot be relied upon as a guide to
future performance. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they
are made. Accordingly, you should not rely on any forward-looking statements
and the Company, Berenberg and Rothschild expressly disclaim any obligation to
disseminate any updates or revisions to such forward-looking statements. No
statement in this announcement is intended as a profit forecast or a profit
estimate and no statement in this announcement should be interpreted to mean
that earnings per share for the current or future financial periods would
necessarily match or exceed historical published earnings per share. As a
result, you are cautioned not to place any undue reliance on such
forward-looking statements. Neither the Company nor anyone else is under any
obligation to update or keep current the information contained in this
announcement.
No representation or warranty, express or implied, is given by or on behalf of
the Company, Berenberg, Rothschild or any of their directors, officers,
partners, employees, advisers, agents, affiliates, representatives or any
other persons as to the accuracy, fairness, completeness, verification or
sufficiency of the information or opinions contained in this announcement,
that any forward-looking statements will come to pass or prove to be correct,
or for any other statement made or purported to be made by them, or on their
behalf, in connection with the Company, the Shares or the Transaction and
nothing in this announcement will be relied upon as a promise or
representation in this respect, whether as to the past or future. Save in the
case of fraud, no liability is accepted for any errors, omissions or
inaccuracies in any of the information or opinions in this announcement or for
any loss, cost or damage suffered or incurred howsoever arising, directly or
indirectly, from any use of this announcement or otherwise in connection with
the subject matter of this announcement. Accordingly, each of the Company,
Berenberg and Rothschild and each of their respective affiliates, branches,
associates, subsidiary and parent undertakings and the subsidiary undertakings
of their parent undertakings, and their respective directors, officers,
unlimited partners, agents and employees, disclaims, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, all and any responsibility or liability, whether
arising in tort, contract or otherwise (save as referred to above), which it
might otherwise have in respect of this announcement or any such statement.
Any subscription for or purchase of Shares in the possible Offer should be
made solely on the basis of information contained in the Prospectus which may
be issued by the Company in connection with the possible Offer. The
information in this announcement is subject to change. Before subscribing for
or purchasing any Shares, persons viewing this announcement should ensure that
they fully understand and accept the risks which will be set out in the
Prospectus, if published. This announcement shall not constitute, or form part
of, any offer or invitation to sell, or any solicitation of any offer to
acquire, any Shares or any other securities, nor shall it (or any part of it),
or the fact of its distribution, form the basis of, or be relied on in
connection with, or act as any inducement to enter into, any contract or
commitment whatsoever.
The Company may decide not to go ahead with the possible Offer and there is
therefore no guarantee that a Prospectus will be published, the Offer will be
made or Admission will occur. Potential investors should not base their
financial decision on this announcement. Acquiring investments to which this
announcement relates may expose an investor to a significant risk of losing
all of the amount invested. Persons considering making investments should
consult an authorised person specialising in advising on such investments.
This announcement does not constitute a recommendation concerning a possible
Offer or to subscribe for or purchase Shares or any other securities. The
value of shares can decrease as well as increase. Potential investors should
consult a professional adviser as to the suitability of a possible Offer for
the person concerned. Nothing contained herein constitutes or should be
construed as investment, tax, financial, accounting or legal advice or a
representation that any investment or strategy is suitable or appropriate to
your individual circumstances.
