On 31 July 2025, the boards of Just Group plc (the "Company") and BWS Holdings
Ltd. ("BWS") announced that they had reached agreement on the terms of a
recommended cash acquisition for the entire issued, and to be issued, ordinary
share capital of Just (the "Acquisition"). The scheme document was published
on 26 August 2026.

The Acquisition was approved at a Court Sanction hearing held on 27 March
2026, with the scheme of arrangement expected to become effective on 1 April
2026.

As a result of the Court sanctioning the scheme of arrangement, outstanding
options over ordinary shares in the capital of the Company of £0.10 each
granted under the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP"), Deferred Share
Bonus Plan ("DBSP") and Sharesave Scheme ("Sharesave") vested and were
exercised by Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility ("PDMRs").

The treatment of the LTIP, DSBP and Sharesave options in the event of the
Acquisition being approved by the Court was set out in a Co-operation
Agreement agreed between the Company and BWS dated 31 July 2025.
