RNS Number : 1654E  TI Fluid Systems PLC  08 April 2025

NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY, IN, INTO OR FROM ANY JURISDICTION WHERE TO DO SO WOULD CONSTITUTE
A VIOLATION OF THE RELEVANT LAWS OR REGULATIONS OF THAT JURISDICTION

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

8 April 2025

RECOMMENDED CASH ACQUISITION

of

TI Fluid Systems plc

by

ABC Technologies Acquisitions Limited

(a newly-formed company wholly-owned by ABC Technologies Inc.)

to be effected by means of a scheme of arrangement

under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006

COURT SANCTION OF SCHEME

On 29 November 2024, the boards of directors of TI Fluid Systems plc ("TI
Fluid Systems") and ABC Technologies Acquisitions Limited ("Bidco") announced
that they had reached agreement on the terms of a recommended all cash
acquisition by Bidco of the entire issued, and to be issued, ordinary share
capital of TI Fluid Systems (the "Acquisition").

The Acquisition is being implemented by way of a Court-sanctioned scheme of
arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006 (the "Scheme"). The
circular in relation to the Scheme was published or made available to TI Fluid
Systems Shareholders on 17 December 2024 (the "Scheme Document"). Capitalised
terms used but not defined in this announcement have the meaning given to them
in the Scheme Document.

On 5 February 2025, TI Fluid Systems and Bidco announced that the requisite
majority of Scheme Shareholders had approved the Scheme at the Court Meeting
and that the special resolution to, among other things, implement the Scheme
was passed by the requisite majority of TI Fluid Systems Shareholders at the
General Meeting.

TI Fluid Systems and Bidco are pleased to announce that the Court has today
granted the Court Order sanctioning the Scheme pursuant to which the
Acquisition is being implemented.

The Scheme will become effective upon the Court Order being delivered to the
Registrar of Companies, which is expected to occur on 15 April 2025. The
Scheme Record Time is expected to be 6.00 p.m. on 14 April 2025. A further
announcement will be made when the Scheme becomes Effective.

Delisting

Listing of TI Fluid Systems Shares on the equity shares (commercial companies)
category of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority and trading
in TI Fluid Systems Shares on the main market of the London Stock Exchange are
each expected to be suspended with effect from 7.30 a.m. on 15 April 2025. TI
Fluid Systems Shares are also expected to be disabled in CREST from 6.00 p.m.
on 14 April 2025. Therefore, 14 April 2025, will be the last day for dealings
in, and for the registration of transfers of, TI Fluid Systems Shares.

It is expected that the listing of TI Fluid Systems Shares on the equity
shares (commercial companies) category of the Official List will be cancelled,
and that TI Fluid Systems Shares will cease to be admitted to trading on the
main market of the London Stock Exchange, with effect from 8.00 a.m. on 16
April 2025, in each case subject to the Scheme becoming Effective.

On the Effective Date, share certificates in respect of Scheme Shares will
cease to be valid documents of title, and entitlements to Scheme Shares held
in uncertificated form in CREST will be cancelled.

All references to time in this announcement are to the time in London, United
Kingdom.

Overseas Shareholders

The release, publication or distribution of this announcement in or into
jurisdictions other than the UK may be restricted by law and therefore any
persons who are subject to the law of any jurisdiction other than the UK
should inform themselves of, and observe, any applicable legal or regulatory
requirements. Any failure to comply with such requirements may constitute a
violation of the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. To the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, the companies and persons involved in the
Acquisition disclaim any responsibility or liability for the violation of such
restrictions by any person. This announcement has been prepared in accordance
with and for the purpose of complying with English law, the Takeover Code, the
UK Listing Rules, the Market Abuse Regulation and the Disclosure Guidance and
Transparency Rules and information disclosed may not be the same as that which
would have been prepared in accordance with the laws of jurisdictions outside
England.

The availability of the Acquisition to TI Fluid Systems Shareholders who are
not resident in and citizens of the UK may be affected by the laws of the
relevant jurisdictions in which they are located or of which they are
citizens. Persons who are not resident in the UK should inform themselves of,
and observe, any applicable legal or regulatory requirements of their
jurisdictions. Any person (including, without limitation, nominees, trustees
and custodians) who would, or otherwise intends to, forward this announcement,
the Scheme Document or any accompanying document to any jurisdiction outside
the UK should refrain from doing so and seek appropriate professional advice
before taking any action.  Any failure to comply with the applicable
restrictions may constitute a violation of the securities laws of any such
jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the companies
and persons involved in the Acquisition disclaim any responsibility or
liability for the violation of such restrictions by any person. Further
details in relation to Overseas Shareholders will be contained in the Scheme
Document (or, if the Acquisition is implemented by way of an Offer, the offer
document).

Unless otherwise determined by Bidco or required by the Takeover Code, and
permitted by applicable law and regulation, the Acquisition will not be made
available, directly or indirectly, in, into, from, or by the use of mails or
any means or instrumentality (including, but not limited to, facsimile, e-mail
or other electronic transmission, telex or telephone) of interstate or foreign
commerce of, or of any facility of a national, state or other securities
exchange of, any Restricted Jurisdiction where to do so would violate the laws
in that jurisdiction and no person may vote in favour of the Scheme by any
such use, means, instrumentality or from within a Restricted Jurisdiction or
any other jurisdiction if to do so would constitute a violation of the laws of
that jurisdiction. Copies of this announcement and any formal documentation
relating to the Acquisition are not being, and must not be, directly or
indirectly, mailed or otherwise forwarded, distributed or sent in or into or
from any Restricted Jurisdiction and persons receiving such documents
(including, without limitation, agents, custodians, nominees and trustees)
must not mail or otherwise forward, distribute or send it in or into or from
any Restricted Jurisdiction. Doing so may render invalid any related purported

of an Offer (unless otherwise permitted by applicable law and regulation), the
Offer may not be made directly or indirectly, in, into, from, or by the use of
mails or any means or instrumentality (including, but not limited to,

interstate or foreign commerce of, or of any facility of a national, state or
other securities exchange of, any Restricted Jurisdiction and the Offer may
not be capable of acceptance by any such use, means, instrumentality or
facilities.

Further details in relation to Overseas Shareholders will be included in the
Scheme Document (or, if the Acquisition is implemented by way of an Offer, the
offer document).

Notice to U.S. TI Fluid Systems Shareholders

The Acquisition relates to the shares of an English company and is being made
by means of a scheme of arrangement provided for under English law. A
transaction effected by means of a scheme of arrangement is not subject to the
tender offer or proxy solicitation rules under U.S. Exchange Act. Accordingly,
the Acquisition is subject to the disclosure requirements and practices
applicable in the UK to schemes of arrangement which differ from the
disclosure requirements of the U.S. tender offer and proxy solicitation rules.
The financial information included in this announcement has been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United Kingdom
and thus may not be comparable to financial information of U.S. companies or
companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States.

If, in the future, Bidco exercises its right to implement the Acquisition by
way of an Offer, which is to be made into the United States, such Offer will
be made in compliance with the applicable U.S. laws and regulations.

It may be difficult for U.S. holders of TI Fluid Systems Shares to enforce
their rights and any claim arising out of the U.S. federal laws, since Bidco
and TI Fluid Systems are located in a non-U.S. jurisdiction, and some or all
of their officers and directors may be residents of a non-U.S. jurisdiction.
U.S. holders of TI Fluid Systems Shares may not be able to sue a non-U.S.
company or its officers or directors in a non-U.S. court for violations of the
U.S. securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel a non-U.S.
company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a U.S. court's judgement.

In accordance with normal UK practice and pursuant to Rule 14e-5(b) of the
U.S. Exchange Act, ABC Technologies or their nominees, or their brokers
(acting as agents), may from time to time make certain purchases of, or
arrangements to purchase, TI Fluid Systems Shares outside of the U.S., other
than pursuant to the Acquisition, until the date on which the Acquisition
becomes Effective, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn. Also, in accordance with
Rule 14e-5(b) of the U.S. Exchange Act, Lazard, Citi, TD Securities and
Scotiabank will each continue to act as an exempt principal trader in TI Fluid
Systems Shares on the London Stock Exchange. These purchases may occur either
in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at
negotiated prices. Any information about such purchases will be disclosed as
required in the United Kingdom, will be reported to a Regulatory Information
Service and will be available on the London Stock Exchange website,
www.londonstockexchange.com (https://www.londonstockexchange.com/) .

U.S. TI Fluid Systems Shareholders also should be aware that the transaction
contemplated herein may have tax consequences in the U.S. and, that such
consequences, if any, are not described herein. U.S. TI Fluid Systems
Shareholders are urged to consult with legal, tax and financial advisers in
connection with making a decision regarding this transaction.

Forward looking statements

This announcement (including information incorporated by reference in this
announcement), oral statements made regarding the Acquisition, and other
information published by Bidco and TI Fluid Systems contain statements which
are, or may be deemed to be, "forward-looking statements". Forward-looking
statements are prospective in nature and are not based on historical facts,
but rather on current expectations and projections of the management of Bidco
and TI Fluid Systems about future events, and are therefore subject to risks
and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from
the future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements contained in this announcement include
statements relating to the expected effects of the Acquisition on Bidco and TI
Fluid Systems (including their future prospects, developments and strategies),
the expected timing and scope of the Acquisition and other statements other
than historical facts. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can
be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as "prepares", "plans",
"expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "is subject to", "budget",
"projects", "synergy", "strategy", "scheduled", "goal", "estimates",
"forecasts", "cost-saving", "intends", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate",
or "believes", or variations of such words and phrases or statements that
certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "should", "would", "might"
or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved. Forward looking statements may
include statements relating to the following: (i) future capital expenditures,
expenses, revenues, earnings, synergies, economic performance, indebtedness,
financial condition, dividend policy, losses and future prospects; (ii)
business and management strategies and the expansion and growth of Bidco's, TI
Fluid Systems', any member of the ABC Technologies Group's or any member of
the TI Fluid Systems Group's operations and potential synergies resulting from
the Acquisition; and (iii) the effects of global economic conditions and
governmental regulation on Bidco's, TI Fluid Systems', any member of the ABC
Technologies Group's or any member of the TI Fluid Systems Group's business.

Although Bidco and TI Fluid Systems believe that the expectations reflected in
such forward-looking statements are reasonable, Bidco and TI Fluid Systems can
give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. By their
nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they
relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future.
There are a number of factors that could cause actual results and developments
to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements.

These factors include, but are not limited to: the ability to complete the
Acquisition; changes in the global political, economic, business and
competitive environments and in market and regulatory forces; changes in
future exchange and interest rates; changes in tax rates; future business
combinations or disposals; changes in general economic and business
conditions; changes in the behaviour of other market participants; changes in
the anticipated benefits from the proposed transaction not being realised as a
result of changes in general economic and market conditions in the countries
in which Bidco and TI Fluid Systems operate, weak, volatile or illiquid
capital and/or credit markets, changes in tax rates, interest rate and
currency value fluctuations, the degree of competition in the geographic and
business areas in which Bidco and TI Fluid Systems operate and changes in laws
or in supervisory expectations or requirements. Other unknown or unpredictable
factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected,
estimated or projected in the forward-looking statements. If any one or more
of these risks or uncertainties materialises or if any one or more of the
assumptions proves incorrect, actual results may differ materially from those
expected, estimated or projected. Such forward-looking statements should
therefore be construed in the light of such factors. Neither Bidco nor TI
Fluid Systems, nor any of their respective associates or directors, officers
or advisers, provides any representation, assurance or guarantee that the
occurrence of the events expressed or implied in any forward-looking
statements in this announcement will actually occur. You are cautioned not to
place any reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Specifically, statements of estimated cost savings and synergies related to
future actions and circumstances which, by their nature, involve risks,
uncertainties and contingencies. As a result, the cost savings and synergies
referred to may not be achieved, may be achieved later or sooner than
estimated, or those achieved could be materially different from those
estimated. Due to the scale of the TI Fluid Systems Group, there may be
additional changes to the TI Fluid Systems Group's operations. As a result,
and given the fact that the changes relate to the future, the resulting cost
synergies may be materially greater or less than those estimated.

Other than in accordance with their legal or regulatory obligations, neither
Bidco nor TI Fluid Systems is under any obligation, and Bidco and TI Fluid
Systems expressly disclaim any intention or obligation, to update or revise
any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise.

Dealing and Opening Position Disclosure Requirements

Under Rule 8.3(a) of the Takeover Code, any person who is interested in 1 per
cent. or more of any class of relevant securities of an offeree company or of
any securities exchange offeror (being any offeror other than an offeror in
respect of which it has been announced that its offer is, or is likely to be,
solely in cash) must make an Opening Position Disclosure following the
commencement of the offer period and, if later, following the announcement in
which any securities exchange offeror is first identified. An Opening Position
Disclosure must contain details of the person's interests and short positions
in, and rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the
offeree company and (ii) any securities exchange offeror(s). An Opening
Position Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(a) of the Takeover Code
applies must be made by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the 10th
Business Day following the commencement of the offer period and, if
appropriate, by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the 10th Business Day
following the announcement in which any securities exchange offeror is first
identified. Relevant persons who deal in the relevant securities of the
offeree company or of a securities exchange offeror prior to the deadline for
making an Opening Position Disclosure must instead make a Dealing Disclosure.

Under Rule 8.3(b) of the Takeover Code, any person who is, or becomes,
interested in 1 per cent. or more of any class of relevant securities of the
offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror must make a Dealing
Disclosure if the person deals in any relevant securities of the offeree
company or of any securities exchange offeror. A Dealing Disclosure must
contain details of the dealing concerned and of the person's interests and
short positions in, and rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of
each of (i) the offeree company and (ii) any securities exchange offeror(s),
save to the extent that these details have previously been disclosed under
Rule 8. A Dealing Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(b) applies must be
made by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the Business Day following the
date of the relevant dealing.

If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding,
whether formal or informal, to acquire or control an interest in relevant
securities of an offeree company or a securities exchange offeror, they will
be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.

Opening Position Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company and by
any offeror and Dealing Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company,
by any offeror and by any persons acting in concert with any of them (see
Rules 8.1, 8.2 and 8.4).

Details of the offeree and offeror companies in respect of whose relevant
securities Opening Position Disclosures and Dealing Disclosures must be made
can be found in the Disclosure Table on the Panel's website at
www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk (http://www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk) , including
details of the number of relevant securities in issue, when the offer period
commenced and when any offeror was first identified. You should contact the
Panel's Market Surveillance Unit on +44 (0)20 7638 0129 if you are in any
doubt as to whether you are required to make an Opening Position Disclosure or
a Dealing Disclosure.
