Completion of Acquisition, Issue of Shares and TVR

Public Policy Holding Company, Inc. (AIM: PPHC), the leading government
relations, public affairs and strategic communications group, is pleased to
announce the successful completion of its acquisition of Pine Cove Capital
LLC, a premier Austin, Texas-based strategic consulting firm led by the
Honorable George P. Bush (the "Acquisition"). The firm will operate under a
new name, Pine Cove Strategies ("Pine Cove"), post-completion, and establish
and build a Texas state government relations practice in addition to its
existing strategic consulting offering.

As detailed in the Company's announcement of 14 July 2025, the Acquisition
represents a significant step in PPHC's expansion in the State of Texas, one
of the most economically and politically influential markets in the U.S. Pine
Cove enhances the Group's capabilities in state-level government relations and
strategic advisory work, and brings with it a high-quality client base and a
strong foundation for further growth in the region.

 

Issue of New Common Shares and Total Voting Rights

 

As part of the initial consideration payable, 214,146 New Common Shares are to
be issued to Pine Cove Capital LLC. Application will be made for the new
Common Shares, which will rank pari passu with the existing Common Shares in
issue, to be admitted to trading on AIM. Dealings are expected to commence on
or around 5 August 2025. Following this issue of shares, the Company's total
issued and voting share capital upon admission will consist of 125,673,523
Common Shares. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for
the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify
their interest in, or a change to their interest in, securities of the Company
