WH Ireland Group Plc

 

("WH Ireland" or the "Company" and with its subsidiary, the "Group")

 

Response to Press Speculation

 

WH Ireland notes the recent press speculation concerning the proxy voting for
the upcoming general meeting of the Company to be held at the Company's
registered office on 9 October 2025 at 9am, as detailed in the announcement
dated 22 September 2025 (the "Announcement") (the "Upcoming General Meeting").

 

The purpose of the Upcoming General Meeting is to consider and if thought fit
to approve resolutions to authorise the proposed disposal of the business and
assets of the Group's wealth management business and the associated delisting
of the Company's ordinary shares from trading on AIM (the "Resolutions"). Full
details of the background to, and the reasons for the Resolutions, are set out
in the Announcement.

 

The Directors confirm that at this stage the proxy votes filed with the
Company's registrars indicate that the Resolutions will fail but the actual
outcome of the Upcoming General Meeting will not be known until the meeting
has been held.

A further announcement will be made after the completion of the Upcoming
General Meeting.
