Update on Letters of Intent

意向书更新

On 28 October 2025 the boards of directors of Frankel UK Bidco Limited ("Bidco"), a newly-formed company to be indirectly owned by Long Path Co-Investment Fund #6, LP (acting by its general partner, Long Path Co-Investment Fund #6 GP, LLC), Long Path Smaller Companies Fund, LP (acting by its general partner Long Path Fund GP, LLC), Long Path Smaller Companies Master Fund, Ltd. and Long Path Opportunities Fund II, LP (acting by its general partner, Long Path Opportunities Fund GP, LLC), and Idox plc ("Idox") made an announcement pursuant to Rule 2.7 of the Takeover Code (the "Rule 2.7 Announcement") of a recommended all-cash acquisition by Bidco of the entire issued, and to be issued, ordinary share capital of Idox (the "Acquisition"), intended to be implemented by means of a Court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act (the "Scheme").

2025年10月28日，Frankel UK Bidco Limited（"Bidco"）的董事会（该公司将由 Long Path Co-Investment Fund #6, LP（通过其普通合伙人 Long Path Co-Investment Fund #6 GP, LLC）、Long Path Smaller Companies Fund, LP（通过其普通合伙人 Long Path Fund GP, LLC）、Long Path Smaller Companies Master Fund, Ltd.和 Long Path Opportunities Fund II, LP（通过其普通合伙人 Long Path Opportunities Fund GP, LLC）间接拥有）与 Idox plc（"Idox"）根据收购守则第 2.7 条发布了一项公告（"第 2.7 条公告"），建议 Bidco 以现金收购 Idox 的全部已发行及待发行普通股资本（"收购"），计划通过根据《公司法》第 26 部分的法院批准安排实施（"方案"）。

除非在本公告中另有定义，否则本公告中使用的资本化词汇和短语应具有第 2.7 条公告中赋予它们的相同含义。

As set out in Appendix 3 to the Rule 2.7 Announcement, Bidco had received irrevocable undertakings and non-binding letters of intent from certain Idox Shareholders to vote in favour (or, where applicable, procure voting) of the Scheme at the Court Meeting and the Resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting (or, in the event that the Acquisition is implemented by way of an Offer, to accept or procure the acceptance of the Offer), in respect of a total of 106,033,494 Idox Shares, representing approximately 22.97 per cent. of the existing issued ordinary share capital of Idox as at 27 October 2025, being the last Business Day before the date of the Rule 2.7 Announcement. These include a non-binding letter of intent from Rathbones Investment Management ("Rathbones") in respect of 35,203,152 Idox Shares, representing approximately 7.62 per cent. of the existing issued ordinary share capital of Idox as at 27 October 2025, being the last Business Day before the date of the Rule 2.7 Announcement (the "Rathbones Letter of Intent").

This announcement has been prepared in accordance with and for the purpose of complying with English law, the Takeover Code, the AIM 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.

本公告在英国以外的司法管辖区的发布、出版或分发可能受到法律限制，因此任何受英国以外的任何司法管辖区法律约束的人员应自行了解并遵守任何适用的法律或监管要求。未能遵守这些要求可能构成对任何此类司法管辖区证券法的违反。在适用法律允许的最大范围内，参与收购的公司和个人对任何人违反这些限制不承担任何责任或义务。本公告已根据英国法律、收购守则、AIM 规则、市场滥用法规以及信息披露和透明度规则的要求进行准备，所披露的信息可能与根据英国以外的司法管辖区法律准备的信息不同。

The availability of the Acquisition to Idox 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.

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 vote in respect of the Acquisition. If the Acquisition is implemented by way 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, 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 and the Offer may not be capable of acceptance by any such use, means, instrumentality or facilities.

除非 Bidco 另行决定或根据收购守则要求，并且在适用法律和法规允许的情况下，收购将不会直接或间接地通过邮件或任何手段或工具（包括但不限于传真、电子邮件或其他电子传输、电话或电报）在任何限制性司法管辖区内、外进行，若这样做会违反该司法管辖区的法律，任何人不得通过任何此类使用、手段、工具或在限制性司法管辖区内或任何其他司法管辖区内投票支持该计划。如果这样做会构成对该司法管辖区法律的违反，则不得在限制性司法管辖区内或从中直接或间接地邮寄或以其他方式转发、分发或发送本公告及与收购相关的任何正式文件，接收此类文件的人员（包括但不限于代理人、保管人、提名人和受托人）不得在限制性司法管辖区内或从中邮寄或以其他方式转发、分发或发送此类文件。这样做可能使与收购相关的任何投票无效。如果收购通过要约实施（除非适用法律和法规另有允许），则该要约不得直接或间接地通过邮件或任何手段或工具（包括但不限于传真、电子邮件或其他电子传输、电话或电报）在任何限制性司法管辖区内、外进行，且该要约可能无法通过任何此类使用、手段、工具或设施被接受。

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. Idox Shareholders

致美国 Idox 股东的通知

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 the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "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.

本次收购涉及一家英国公司的股份，并通过英国法律规定的安排计划进行。通过安排计划进行的交易不受 1934 年美国证券交易法（"美国交易法"）下的要约收购或代理征求规则的约束。因此，本次收购受适用于英国安排计划的披露要求和实践的约束，这与美国要约收购和代理征求规则的披露要求不同。本公告中包含的财务信息是根据英国公认会计原则编制的，因此可能与美国公司或根据美国公认会计原则编制财务报表的公司的财务信息不可比。

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.

如果 Bidco 在未来行使其通过要约实施收购的权利，并且该要约将进入美国，则该要约将遵守适用的美国法律和法规。

It may be difficult for U.S. holders of Idox Shares to enforce their rights and any claim arising out of the U.S. federal laws, since Bidco and Idox 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 Idox 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.

美国的 Idox 股东可能难以根据美国联邦法律强制执行其权利和任何索赔，因为 Bidco 和 Idox 位于非美国司法管辖区，并且他们的部分或全部高管和董事可能是非美国司法管辖区的居民。美国的 Idox 股东可能无法在非美国法院对非美国公司或其高管或董事提起诉讼，以追究其违反美国证券法的责任。此外，强制非美国公司及其附属公司接受美国法院的判决可能也会很困难。

In accordance with normal UK practice and pursuant to Rule 14e-5(b) of the U.S. Exchange Act, Long Path or their nominees, or their brokers (acting as agents), may from time to time make certain purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, Idox 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, Canaccord will continue to act as an exempt principal trader in Idox 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.

根据英国的正常惯例以及美国《证券交易法》第 14e-5(b) 条款，Long Path 或其提名人，或其经纪人（作为代理人）可能会不时在美国以外购买或安排购买 Idox 股份，除非根据收购协议，直到收购生效、失效或以其他方式撤回的日期。此外，根据美国《证券交易法》第 14e-5(b) 条款，Canaccord 将继续在伦敦证券交易所作为 Idox 股份的豁免主要交易商。这些购买可能在公开市场以现行价格进行，或在私下交易中以协商价格进行。关于这些购买的任何信息将根据英国的要求披露，并将报告给监管信息服务，并将在伦敦证券交易所网站 www.londonstockexchange.com 上提供。

U.S. Idox Shareholders also should be aware that the transaction contemplated herein may have tax consequences for U.S. federal income tax purposes and under applicable U.S. state and local, as well as foreign and other, tax laws and, that such consequences, if any, are not described herein. U.S. Idox Shareholders are urged to consult with legal, tax and financial advisers in connection with making a decision regarding this transaction.

美国的 Idox 股东还应注意，此交易可能对美国联邦所得税以及适用的美国州和地方税法、外国及其他税法产生税务影响，并且这些影响（如有）在此未作描述。建议美国的 Idox 股东在做出与此交易相关的决策时咨询法律、税务和财务顾问。

Forward looking statements

前瞻性声明

This announcement (including information incorporated by reference in this announcement), oral statements made regarding the Acquisition, and other information published by Bidco and Idox 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 Idox 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.

本公告（包括本公告中引用的信息）、关于收购的口头声明以及 Bidco 和 Idox 发布的其他信息包含可能被视为 “前瞻性声明” 的陈述。前瞻性声明具有前瞻性，基于当前的期望和 Bidco 和 Idox 管理层对未来事件的预测，而不是基于历史事实，因此受到风险和不确定性的影响，这可能导致实际结果与前瞻性声明所表达或暗示的未来结果存在重大差异。

The forward-looking statements contained in this announcement include statements relating to the expected effects of the Acquisition on Bidco and Idox (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, Idox's, any member of the Bidco Group's or any member of the Idox Group's operations and potential synergies resulting from the Acquisition; and (iii) the effects of global economic conditions and governmental regulation on Bidco's, Idox's, any member of the Bidco Group's or any member of the Idox Group's business.

本公告中包含的前瞻性声明包括与收购对 Bidco 和 Idox 的预期影响（包括它们的未来前景、发展和战略）、收购的预期时间和范围以及其他非历史事实的声明。通常，但并非总是，前瞻性声明可以通过使用 “准备”、“计划”、“期望” 或 “不期望”、“预计”、“受制于”、“预算”、“项目”、“协同效应”、“战略”、“计划”、“目标”、“估计”、“预测”、“节省成本”、“打算”、“预期” 或 “不预期” 或 “相信”，或这些词和短语的变体，或某些行动、事件或结果 “可能”、“可以”、“应该”、“会”、“可能” 或 “将” 被采取、发生或实现来识别。前瞻性声明可能包括与以下内容相关的声明：（i）未来的资本支出、费用、收入、收益、协同效应、经济表现、债务、财务状况、股息政策、损失和未来前景；（ii）业务和管理战略以及 Bidco、Idox、Bidco 集团的任何成员或 Idox 集团的任何成员的运营扩展和增长，以及收购带来的潜在协同效应；以及（iii）全球经济条件和政府监管对 Bidco、Idox、Bidco 集团的任何成员或 Idox 集团的任何成员业务的影响。

Although Bidco and Idox believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, Bidco and Idox 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.

尽管 Bidco 和 Idox 相信这些前瞻性声明中反映的期望是合理的，但 Bidco 和 Idox 无法保证这些期望将被证明是正确的。由于前瞻性声明涉及未来将发生的事件并依赖于未来的情况，因此本质上涉及风险和不确定性。有许多因素可能导致实际结果和发展与这些前瞻性声明所表达或暗示的结果存在重大差异。

These factors include, but are not limited to: the ability to complete the Acquisition; the ability to obtain requisite regulatory and shareholder approvals and the satisfaction of other Conditions on the proposed terms and schedule; 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 Idox 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 Idox 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 Idox, 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.

这些因素包括但不限于：完成收购的能力；获得必要的监管和股东批准的能力，以及满足提议条款和时间表的其他条件；全球政治、经济、商业和竞争环境以及市场和监管力量的变化；未来汇率和利率的变化；税率的变化；未来的业务合并或处置；一般经济和商业条件的变化；其他市场参与者行为的变化；由于所在国家的整体经济和市场条件变化，导致预期的交易收益未能实现；资本和/或信贷市场疲软、波动或流动性不足；税率、利率和货币价值波动的变化；Bidco 和 Idox 所处的地理和业务领域的竞争程度；以及法律或监管期望或要求的变化。其他未知或不可预测的因素可能导致实际结果与预期、估计或预测的结果有重大差异。如果这些风险或不确定性中的任何一个或多个实现，或者任何一个或多个假设被证明不正确，实际结果可能与预期、估计或预测的结果有重大差异。因此，这些前瞻性声明应在考虑这些因素的情况下进行解读。Bidco 和 Idox 及其各自的关联方、董事、高级职员或顾问均不对本公告中任何前瞻性声明所表达或暗示的事件的发生提供任何陈述、保证或担保。请谨慎对待这些前瞻性声明。

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 Idox Group, there may be additional changes to the Idox 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.

具体而言，关于未来行动和情况的成本节约和协同效应的估计声明，其本质上涉及风险、不确定性和偶然性。因此，所提到的成本节约和协同效应可能无法实现，可能比估计的时间更晚或更早实现，或者实现的结果可能与估计的结果有重大差异。由于 Idox 集团的规模，可能会对 Idox 集团的运营产生额外变化。因此，考虑到这些变化与未来相关，最终的成本协同效应可能会大大高于或低于估计的水平。

Other than in accordance with their legal or regulatory obligations, neither Bidco nor Idox is under any obligation, and Bidco and Idox 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.

除非根据其法律或监管义务，Bidco 和 Idox 均不承担任何义务，Bidco 和 Idox 明确声明不打算或不承担更新或修订任何前瞻性声明的义务，无论是由于新信息、未来事件还是其他原因。
