FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

12 December 2025

DBAY Advisors Limited ("DBAY")

No intention to make an offer for TT Electronics Plc ("TT Electronics" or the
"Company")

On 9 December 2025, DBAY announced that it was considering a possible offer
for the entire issued and to be issued ordinary shares of TT Electronics (save
for those already owned by funds managed or advised by DBAY).

On 10 December 2025, the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Panel")
announced that, pursuant to Section 4 of Appendix 7 of the Takeover Code, the
Panel Executive had ruled that, unless the Executive consented otherwise, DBAY
would be required by 5.00pm on 15 December 2025 to either announce a firm
intention to make an offer for TT Electronics under Rule 2.7 of the Code, or
announce that it does not intend to make an offer for TT. DBAY accepted this
ruling.

In accordance with such clarification deadline, DBAY confirms that it does not
intend to make an offer for TT Electronics. DBAY and any person acting in
concert with it, except with the consent of the Panel, is bound by the
restrictions under Rule 2.8 of the Code.

Under Note 2 to Rule 2.8 of the Code, DBAY, and any person acting in concert
with DBAY, reserves the right to set the restrictions in Rule 2.8 aside in the
following circumstances:

·   in the event that the offer by Cicor is withdrawn or lapses, with the
agreement of the board of TT Electronics;

·      if a third party announces a firm intention to make an offer for
TT Electronics;

·     if TT Electronics announces a Rule 9 waiver (see Note 1 of the Notes
on Dispensations from Rule 9) or a reverse takeover (as defined in the Code);
or

·      if there has been a material change of circumstances (as
determined by the Panel).

In line with its announcement of 9 December 2025, DBAY continues to believe
that the terms of Cicor's offer as set out in the scheme document are
unattractive, and therefore intends to vote against the scheme of arrangement.
