RNS Number : 8265M  Knights Group Holdings PLC  13 June 2025

Knights Group Holdings plc

("Knights" or the "Group")

Completion of acquisition of Birkett Long  LLP and Birkett Long IFA LLP

Knights is pleased to confirm that the acquisition of Birkett Long LLP
("Birket Long"), an independent, full-service regional law firm with offices
in Basildon, Chelmsford and Colchester, has now completed, in line with the
timeframe announced in the acquisition announcement of 6 May 2025.  Following
receipt of FCA approval, we have today also completed the acquisition of
Birkett Long IFA LLP, the independent financial advisory business also owned
by the members of Birkett Long.

Alongside Real Estate and Private Wealth services and enhanced scale in the
South East, Birkett Long brings additional expertise in areas such as landed
estates, education, family and residential property. The acquisition also
brings a high-quality team and attractive client base into the Group, which
will benefit from having access to Knights' wider range of services and its
established platform.

The acquisition is well-aligned with Knights' strategy to bolster its future
organic growth through selective, considered acquisitions.
