Statement regarding Inspecs Group plc ("Inspecs")

 

Further to the announcements made by Inspecs on 23 October 2025 and 20
November 2025 regarding a possible offer for Inspecs, H2 Equity Partners
Limited, acting in its capacity as investment adviser to its affiliated
investment manager and investment funds ("H2"), confirms that it does not
intend to make an offer for Inspecs.

This is a statement to which Rule 2.8 of the Code applies. Accordingly, H2 and
any person(s) acting in concert with it will, except with the consent of the
Panel on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Panel"), be bound by the restrictions set
out in Rule 2.8 of the Code.

For the purposes of Rule 2.8 of the Code, H2 (and any person(s) acting in
concert with it) reserves the right to set aside the restrictions in Rule 2.8
of the Code in any of the following circumstances: (i) with the agreement of
the board of directors of Inspecs; (ii) following the announcement by or on
behalf of a third party (other than Bidco 1125 Limited) of a firm intention to
make an offer for Inspecs; (iii) if Inspecs 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) if there has been a
material change of circumstances (as determined by the Panel).
