for

INSPIRED PLC

by

INTREPID BIDCO LIMITED

Update on the letter of intent provided by William Currie Investments Limited

On 26 June 2025, the boards of Intrepid Bidco Limited ("Bidco") and Inspired
PLC ("Inspired") announced that they had reached agreement on the terms of a
cash offer by Bidco, a newly formed company managed by funds managed and/or
advised by HGGC, LLC and its affiliates, for the entire issued and to be
issued ordinary share capital of Inspired (the "Transaction") (the "Rule 2.7
Announcement"), to be implemented by way of a takeover offer within the
meaning of Chapter 3 of Part 28 of the Companies Act (the "Offer"). This
followed the announcement of an unsolicited offer from Regent Acquisitions
2025 Limited ("Regent") on 22 April 2025.

Capitalised terms used in this announcement, unless otherwise defined, shall
have the meanings given to them in the Rule 2.7 Announcement.

William Currie Investments Limited

As set out in the Rule 2.7 Announcement, Bidco disclosed that it had received
a non-binding letter of intent from William Currie Investments Limited
("William Currie") dated 26 June 2025 (the "HGGC Offer LOI") to accept (or,
where applicable, procure the acceptance of) the Offer in respect of: (i)
2,391,744 Inspired Shares representing approximately 1.50 per cent. of the
ordinary share capital of Inspired in issue as at the 25 June 2025, being the
last business day before the date of the Rule 2.7 Announcement; and (ii)
3,291,744 Inspired Warrants. Under the HGGC Offer LOI, William Currie is
permitted to sell, acquire or otherwise deal in Inspired Shares at any time.

On 29 April 2025, William Currie had also provided Inspired with a letter of
intent to not accept Regent's Offer (the "Regent Offer Rejection LOI").

In accordance with Rule 2.10(c) of the Code, Bidco and Inspired announce that,
pursuant to a Form 8.3 released by William Currie on 7 July 2025, Bidco and
Inspired became aware that William Currie had sold 2,000,000 of the Inspired
Shares subject to the HGGC Offer LOI and the Regent Offer Rejection LOI.
Following the sale of such Inspired Shares, William Currie now holds 391,744
Inspired Shares and 3,291,744 Inspired Warrants (the "Revised William Currie
Holding").

Each of the HGGC Offer LOI and the Regent Offer Rejection LOI continues to
apply in respect of the Revised William Currie Holding only.

Therefore, the total number of Inspired Shares which remain subject to letters
of intent in respect of the Offer by Bidco is 5,802,110, representing
approximately 3.63 per cent. of the issued ordinary share capital of Inspired
as at close of business on 7 July 2025, being the last business day prior to
the date of this announcement. In aggregate, the indications of support for
the Offer to accept, or to procure the acceptance of, the Offer represent
62,178,426 Inspired Shares, representing approximately 38.95 per cent. of the
issued ordinary share capital of Inspired as at close of business on 7 July
2025, being the last business day prior to the date of this announcement.

Inspired therefore now has written confirmations from Inspired Shareholders
that they have no current intention to accept Regent's Offer in respect of a
total of 76,449,678 Inspired Shares representing, in aggregate, approximately
47.89 per cent. of the ordinary share capital of Inspired in issue on 7 July
2025 (being the latest practicable date prior to the date of this
announcement).

how to accept the Offer. Any decision or response in relation to the
Acquisition should be made only on the basis of the information contained in
the Offer Document.

The release, distribution or publication of this announcement in whole or in
part, directly or indirectly in, into or from jurisdictions outside the United

this announcement comes should inform themselves about, and observe, such
restrictions. Any failure to comply with the restrictions may constitute a

If you are in any doubt about the contents of this announcement or the action

advice immediately from your stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor, accountant

or, if not, from another appropriately authorised independent financial

Overseas Shareholders

The release, publication or distribution of this announcement in, into or from
jurisdictions other than the UK may be restricted by law and therefore any
persons who are subject to the law of any jurisdiction other than the UK
should inform themselves of, and observe, any applicable legal or regulatory
requirements. Any failure to comply with such requirements may constitute a
violation of the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. To the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, the companies and persons involved in the
Acquisition disclaim any responsibility or liability for the violation of such
restrictions by any person. This announcement has been prepared in accordance
with and for the purpose of complying with English law, the Takeover Code, the
Market Abuse Regulation and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules and
information disclosed may not be the same as that which would have been
prepared in accordance with the laws of jurisdictions outside England.

The availability of the Acquisition to Inspired Shareholders who are not
resident in and citizens of the UK may be affected by the laws of the relevant
jurisdictions in which they are located or of which they are citizens. Persons
who are not resident in the UK should inform themselves of, and observe, any
applicable legal or regulatory requirements of their jurisdictions. Any
failure to comply with the applicable restrictions may constitute a violation
of the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. To the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, the companies and persons involved in the
Acquisition disclaim any responsibility or liability for the violation of such
restrictions by any person. Further details in relation to Overseas
Shareholders will be contained in the Offer Document.

Unless otherwise determined by Bidco or required by the Takeover Code, and
permitted by applicable law and regulation, the Acquisition will not be made
available, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, in, into or from a
Restricted Jurisdiction where to do so would violate the laws in that
jurisdiction and no person may accept the Offer by any such use, means,
instrumentality or from within a Restricted Jurisdiction or any other
jurisdiction if to do so would constitute a violation of the laws of that
jurisdiction. Copies of this announcement and any formal documentation
relating to the Acquisition are not being, and must not be, directly or
indirectly, mailed or otherwise forwarded, distributed or sent in or into or
from any Restricted Jurisdiction and persons receiving such documents
(including, without limitation, agents, custodians, nominees and trustees)
must not mail or otherwise forward, distribute or send it in or into or from
any Restricted Jurisdiction. Doing so may render invalid any related purported
acceptance of the Offer. Unless otherwise permitted by applicable law and
regulation, the Offer may not be made directly or indirectly, in or into, or
by the use of mails or any means or instrumentality (including, but not
limited to, facsimile, e-mail or other electronic transmission, telex or
telephone) of interstate or foreign commerce of, or of any facility of a
national, state or other securities exchange of any Restricted Jurisdiction
and the Offer may not be capable of acceptance by any such use, means,
instrumentality or facilities.

The Acquisition will be subject to English law, the applicable requirements of
the 2006 Act, the Takeover Code, the Panel, the FCA and the London Stock
Exchange and applicable securities law.

Note to U.S. holders of Inspired Shares

The Offer will be made for the securities of an English company that is listed
on the London Stock Exchange by means of a contractual takeover offer under
the Takeover Code and English law and is subject to disclosure requirements
and practices that are different, in some cases materially, from the tender
offer rules of the United States. The financial information included in
documents or announcements in relation to the Offer has been prepared in
accordance with accounting standards applicable in the United Kingdom and thus
may not be comparable to financial information of U.S. companies or companies
whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States.

For U.S. holders of Inspired Shares, the receipt of cash pursuant to the terms
of the Acquisition as consideration for the transfer of their Inspired Shares,
may be treated as a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes
and under applicable U.S. state and local, as well as foreign and other, tax
laws. Each holder of Inspired Shares is urged to consult with its own legal,
tax and financial advisers in connection with making a decision regarding this
transaction and as to the U.S. federal, and applicable U.S. state, local, and
foreign, tax consequences to it of the transaction contemplated hereby in
light of such holders' specific circumstances.

The Offer will be made in the United States in accordance with the
requirements of Regulation 14E under the U.S. Exchange Act to the extent
applicable. The Offer qualifies for "Tier I" exemptions from the tender offer
rules included in Regulation 14E under the U.S. Exchange Act for cross-border
tender offers. Accordingly, the Offer will be subject to disclosure and other
procedural requirements under the applicable laws of the United Kingdom,
including with respect to withdrawal rights, offer timetable, settlement
procedures and timing of payments that may be materially different from those
applicable to tender offers for U.S. domestic companies and other companies
for which "Tier I" exemptions do not apply.

Once the Offer becomes or is declared Unconditional, Bidco will acquire all
Inspired Shares that have by that time been validly tendered (or deemed to
have been validly tendered) in acceptance of the Offer and will, in accordance
with the Takeover Code, settle the relevant consideration for all such
accepted Inspired Shares (other than in respect of participants in the
Inspired Share Plans, in respect of whom settlement will be effected through
payroll or such other method as may be determined by Inspired): (i) in the
case of acceptances received, valid and complete in all respects, by the date
on which the Offer becomes or is declared Unconditional, within 14 days of
such date; or (ii) in the case of acceptances of the Offer received, valid and
complete in all respects, after the date on which the Offer becomes or is
declared Unconditional but while it remains open for acceptance, within 14
days of the date of such receipt, in each case, rather than the three trading
days that U.S. investors may be accustomed to in U.S. domestic tender offers.
Similarly, if the Offer is terminated or withdrawn, all documents of title
will be returned to Inspired Shareholders within 14 days of such termination
or withdrawal.

In accordance with normal UK practice and Rule 14e-5(b) under the U.S.
Exchange Act, Bidco and its nominees or brokers (acting as agents), may from
time to time make certain purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, Inspired
Shares outside the United States, other than pursuant to the Offer, before or
during the period in which the Offer remains open for acceptance. Also, in
accordance with Rule 14e-5(b) of the U.S. Exchange Act. These purchases may
occur either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private
transactions at negotiated prices. Such purchases, or arrangements to
purchase, shall comply with applicable rules in the United Kingdom and the
rules of the London Stock Exchange. Any information about such purchases will
be disclosed as required in the United Kingdom, will be reported to a
Regulatory Information Service of the FCA and will be available on the London
Stock Exchange website: www.londonstockexchange.com.

Bidco is a private limited company incorporated under English law. As a
result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within
the United States upon the Bidco Directors or otherwise compel Bidco, Inspired
or their respective directors, officers and affiliates to subject themselves
to the jurisdiction and judgment of a U.S. court. It may not be possible to
sue Bidco or Inspired, or any of their respective directors, officers or
affiliates, in a non-U.S. court for violations of U.S. securities laws. There
is doubt as to the enforceability in the United Kingdom, in original actions
or in actions for enforcement of judgments of the U.S. courts, of civil
liabilities predicated upon U.S. federal securities laws.

Forward-looking statements

This announcement contains certain statements about Bidco and Inspired that
are or may be forward-looking statements, including with respect to the
Acquisition. Forward-looking statements are prospective in nature and are not
based on historical facts, but rather on current assumptions, expectations,
valuations, targets, estimates, forecasts and projections of Bidco and
Inspired about future events, and are therefore subject to risks and
uncertainties which could cause actual results, performance or events to
differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking
statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts included
in this announcement may be forward-looking statements. Without limitation,
forward-looking statements often include words such as "targets", "plans",
"believes", "hopes", "continues", "expects", "aims", "intends", "will", "may",
"should", "would", "could", "anticipates", "estimates", "will look to",
"budget", "strategy", "would look to", "scheduled", "goal", "prepares",
"forecasts", "cost-saving", "is subject to", "synergy", "projects" or words or
terms of similar substance or the negative thereof.

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty,
because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in
the future and the factors described in the context of such forward-looking
statements in this announcement could cause actual results and developments to
differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such forward-looking
statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the
possibility that the Acquisition will not be pursued or consummated, failure
to obtain necessary regulatory approvals or to satisfy any of the other
conditions to the Acquisition if it is pursued, adverse effects on the market
price of Bidco's or Inspired's ordinary shares and on Bidco's or Inspired's
operating results because of a failure to complete the Acquisition, failure to
realise the expected benefits of the Acquisition, negative effects relating to
the announcement of the Acquisition or any further announcements relating to
the Acquisition or the consummation of the Acquisition on the market price of
Inspired Shares, significant transaction costs and/or unknown liabilities, the
Inspired Group incurring and/or experiencing unanticipated costs and/or delays
(including IT system failures, cyber-crime, fraud and pension scheme
liabilities), general economic and business conditions that affect the
Inspired Group following the consummation of the Acquisition, changes in
global, political, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory
forces (including exposures to terrorist activities), future exchange and
interest rates, changes in tax laws, regulations, rates and policies, future
business combinations or disposals, changes in general economic and business
conditions, changes in the behaviour of other market participants, weak,
volatile or illiquid capital and/or credit markets, interest rate and currency
value fluctuations, changes in laws or in supervisory expectations or
requirements and competitive developments. Although it is believed that the
expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no
assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct
and you are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements which speak only as at the date of this
announcement. If any one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialises
or if any one or more of the assumptions proves incorrect, actual results may
differ materially from those expected, estimated or projected.

All forward-looking statements contained in this announcement are expressly
qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred
to in this section.

Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this
announcement. Neither Bidco nor Inspired, nor any of their respective
associates or directors, officers or advisers, provides any representation,
warranty, assurance or guarantee that the occurrence of the events expressed
or implied in any forward-looking statements in this announcement will
actually occur. Other than in accordance with their legal or regulatory
obligations (including under the Takeover Code, the UK Listing Rules and the
Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules), neither the Bidco Group nor the
Inspired Group is under, or undertakes, any obligation, and each of the
foregoing expressly disclaims any intention or obligation, to update or revise
any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise.

Disclosure requirements of the Code

Under Rule 8.3(a) of the Code, any person who is interested in 1% or more of
any class of relevant securities of an offeree company or of any securities
exchange offeror (being any offeror other than an offeror in respect of which
it has been announced that its offer is, or is likely to be, solely in cash)
must make an Opening Position Disclosure following the commencement of the
offer period and, if later, following the announcement in which any securities
exchange offeror is first identified. An Opening Position Disclosure must
contain details of the person's interests and short positions in, and rights
to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree company
and (ii) any securities exchange offeror(s). An Opening Position Disclosure by
a person to whom Rule 8.3(a) applies must be made by no later than 3.30 pm
(London time) on the 10th business day following the commencement of the offer
period and, if appropriate, by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the 10th
business day following the announcement in which any securities exchange
offeror is first identified. Relevant persons who deal in the relevant
securities of the offeree company or of a securities exchange offeror prior to
the deadline for making an Opening Position Disclosure must instead make a
Dealing Disclosure.

Under Rule 8.3(b) of the Code, any person who is, or becomes, interested in 1%
or more of any class of relevant securities of the offeree company or of any
securities exchange offeror must make a Dealing Disclosure if the person deals
in any relevant securities of the offeree company or of any securities
exchange offeror. A Dealing Disclosure must contain details of the dealing
concerned and of the person's interests and short positions in, and rights to
subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of: (i) the offeree company;
and (ii) any securities exchange offeror(s), save to the extent that these
details have previously been disclosed under Rule 8. A Dealing Disclosure by a
person to whom Rule 8.3(b) applies must be made by no later than 3.30 pm
(London time) on the business day following the date of the relevant dealing.

If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding,
whether formal or informal, to acquire or control an interest in relevant
securities of an offeree company or a securities exchange offeror, they will
be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.

Opening Position Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company and by
any offeror and Dealing Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company,
by any offeror and by any persons acting in concert with any of them (see
Rules 8.1, 8.2 and 8.4).

Details of the offeree and offeror companies in respect of whose relevant
securities Opening Position Disclosures and Dealing Disclosures must be made
can be found in the Disclosure Table on the Takeover Panel's website at
https://www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk, including details of the number of
relevant securities in issue, when the offer period commenced and when any
offeror was first identified. You should contact the Takeover Panel's Market
Surveillance Unit on +44 (0)20 7638 0129 if you are in any doubt as to whether
you are required to make an Opening Position Disclosure or a Dealing
Disclosure.
