InvestAcc Acquisition

The Company is pleased to note today's announcement by InvestAcc Group Limited ("InvestAcc") that it has agreed to acquire AJ Bell's Platinum SIPP and SSAS business (the "Acquisition"), the pension administration client books which form part of the AJ Bell non-platform business, for a maximum consideration of £25 million.

The transaction is expected to complete in the second half of 2025 following the extraction, migration and integration of the Platinum SIPP and SSAS clients onto InvestAcc's platform.

Mark Hodges, Executive Chairman of InvestAcc, commented: "We are thrilled to announce the acquisition of the Platinum SIPP and SSAS businesses from AJ Bell. The Acquisition's high-net-worth client base, exceptional service proposition and strong financial performance make it a perfect strategic fit for InvestAcc. This significantly strengthens our position as a market leader in "Full" SIPP pension administration, allowing us to enhance our service offering while maintaining the highest standards of customer experience. This represents the second acquisition of a wider pipeline of both company and client book acquisition opportunities under active review."

As part of the transaction, Marwyn Investment Management LLP ("MIM"), the manager of the Marwyn Funds, has reinforced its long-term commitment to InvestAcc and its strategy by entering into a three-year lock-up agreement. Under the agreement, subject to limited exceptions, MIM has committed to retain a minimum holding of 12.4 million InvestAcc ordinary shares, representing 25% of InvestAcc's current share capital, along with the only Sponsor Share. This reflects MIM's continued confidence in InvestAcc's vision and future growth.
