MALVERN INTERNATIONAL PLC

("Malvern", or the "Company")

New five-year Partnership - Liverpool Hope University

Malvern International plc (AIM: MLVN), the global learning and skills
development partner, announces that the Company has signed a five-year
Partnership with Liverpool Hope University to open a new International Study
Centre from January 2026 together with providing a range of international
student recruitment, education and support services.

Liverpool Hope University International Study Centre ("LHISC"), to be based at
the Hope Park Campus, will deliver a full range of pathway and pre-master's
programmes supporting international students to progress onto a variety of
undergraduate and postgraduate courses at the University.

Under the Partnership Malvern will provide international student recruitment
and conversion, admissions, student fee collection and course delivery
including teaching, orientation and student support. A large portion of the
course fees will be collected by the Company ahead of the course delivery for
each academic year. As a result, the Partnership will be cash flow positive in
the first full financial year, FY2026, and is expected to contribute to group
profits from FY2027.

This strategic partnership strengthens Malvern's position in the global
education marketplace, complementing its existing portfolio of university
partnerships; enhancing its foundations and preparedness for growth. By
leveraging its global infrastructure, Malvern is committed to fostering
sustainable growth in student enrolments at LHISC, and is confident of
contributing significantly to Liverpool Hope University's expanding
international presence.

Based on the terms of the Partnership agreement, Malvern anticipates that the
University's proposition will be well-received by international students and
the Company's agent network.  Malvern expects to be able to scale student
numbers to reach in excess of 250 students annually within three to four
years.

Reflecting on the partnership, Professor Claire Ozanne, Vice-Chancellor and
Rector at Liverpool Hope University said: "I am delighted to be able to
announce our partnership with Malvern. The Liverpool Hope International Study
Centre is an exciting and important part of our international strategy and
will further enhance our position as a global university and one that has an
inclusive approach to education.

International students and the rich diversity of ideas and experiences they
bring to our campuses hugely enhance the  academic experience for all of
our students. As one of the top universities in the UK for student
satisfaction we look forward to welcoming new students to our campus and
providing them with an excellent academic experience that will help them to
achieve their goals."

Richard Mace, CEO at Malvern International, said: "This is an exciting
milestone and a significant achievement for Malvern as we continue to grow and
diversify our Pathways division, scaling up our capabilities to continue to
deliver exceptional services that benefit both universities and students. We
are thrilled to partner with Liverpool Hope University, an institution
renowned for its excellent student satisfaction and commitment to academic
excellence. Together, we are dedicated to providing transformative
opportunities for students while expanding the University's global presence
and influence."
