as a public limited company with the name Vista Parcs Group plc)

 

("Vista Parcs", "Vista" or the "Company")

 

Launch of RetailBook Offer as part of AIM IPO

 

Vista Parcs, a newly incorporated entity proposing to acquire on Admission a
portfolio of 13 UK-based holiday and residential parks, comprising pitches
occupied by manufactured homes, lodges and static caravans, as well as sites
with significant planning potential, is pleased to announce the launch of a
conditional retail offer of new ordinary shares in the capital of the Company
("Ordinary Shares") via RetailBook (the "RetailBook Offer").

 

For more information about the Company, its IPO and how to participate in the
RetailBook Offer, please click https://app.retailbook.com/offers/vista
(https://app.retailbook.com/offers/vista) .

 

Further information on Vista Parcs and its business is set out in the
Admission Document expected to be published in due course. The Company is also
conducting a placing of new Ordinary Shares to institutional investors (the
"Institutional Offer") as announced in the Company's Schedule One which was
released on 16 March 2026. For the avoidance of doubt, the RetailBook Offer is
not part of the Institutional Offer.

 

The RetailBook Offer is conditional on the new Ordinary Shares to be issued
pursuant to the RetailBook Offer and the Institutional Offer being admitted to
trading on AIM ("Admission"). Admission is expected to take place at 8:00 a.m.
on 31 March 2026. The RetailBook Offer will not be completed without the
Institutional Offer also being completed but the Institutional Offer is not
conditional upon completion of the RetailBook Offer.

 

About Vista Parcs & background to the IPO

 

·    Vista Parcs is a newly incorporated entity proposing to acquire on
Admission a portfolio of 13 UK-based holiday and residential parks, comprising
pitches occupied by manufactured homes, lodges and static caravans, as well as
sites with planning potential.

·     Vista Parcs is seeking benefit from structural market growth
trends, supported by the UK's ageing population, an increase in staycations,
and residential housing shortages.

·     The Company is proposing to acquire 13 holiday and residential
parks for consideration of £68.5 million, below Knight Frank LLP's
independent valuation of approximately £80.45 million.

·   The portfolio comprises 1,752 pitches with planning permission, of
which 755 are occupied, as well as 922 additional pitches having been
identified for future development. The portfolio generates multiple recurring
income streams, including inflation-linked pitch fees and rental income, which
are complemented by unit sales, and hire fleet operations. Additionally, the
Company has near-term opportunities to grow capacity within the target sites.

·    The Company is expected to be cash generative and intends to pay a
dividend within its first year following Admission.

·    Upon Admission, Vista Parcs' strategy will be to focus on accelerating
unit sales across its sites, converting certain holiday units to higher-margin
residential units and expanding its sales function.

·     Vista Parcs will be led by a Board with significant sector
experience, and chaired by David Boden, former CEO of Parkdean Resorts.

 

Please note, property valuations are inherently subjective and the market
value may differ materially at any subsequent date.

·     The issue price for the new Ordinary Shares will be determined at the
close of the bookbuilding process.

·  Investors can participate through RetailBook's partner network of retail
brokers, wealth managers and investment platforms (subject to such partners'
participation).

·     Applications for new Ordinary Shares through these partners can be
made from tax efficient savings vehicles such as ISAs or SIPPs, as well as
General Investment Accounts ("GIAs").

·     There is a minimum subscription of £250 per investor in the
RetailBook Offer.

·     No commission will be charged by RetailBook on applications to the
RetailBook Offer.

Investors should make their own investigations into the merits of an
investment in the Company. Nothing in this announcement amounts to a
recommendation to invest in the Company or amounts to investment, taxation or
legal advice.

 

It should be noted that a subscription for new Ordinary Shares and an
investment in the Company carries a number of risks. Investors should take
independent advice from a person experienced in advising on investments in
securities such as the new Ordinary Shares if they are in any doubt.

 

AIM is a market designed primarily for emerging or smaller companies to which
a higher investment risk tends to be attached than to larger or more
established companies. A prospective investor should be aware of the risks of
investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after
careful consideration and, if appropriate, consultation with an independent
financial adviser.

 

An investment in the Company will place capital at risk. The value of your
investment in the Company and any income from it is not guaranteed and can go
down as well as up due to stock market and currency movements. If you sell
your investment, you may get back less than the amount originally invested.

 

Neither past performance nor any forecasts should be considered a reliable
indicator of future results.

 

This announcement should be read in its entirety. In particular, the
information in the "Important Notices" section of this announcement below
should be read and understood.
