Result of General Meeting

Further to the announcement on 8 February 2019 in relation to the publication of the Combined Circular and Prospectus, including the Notice of General Meeting, PHP announces that, at the General Meeting held earlier today, seeking approval for, amongst other things, the recommended all-share merger with MedicX Fund Limited (the "Merger"), all of the resolutions (as set out in full in the Notice of General Meeting) put to the shareholders were duly passed.

Full details of the results are set out below.

The Merger is also subject to approval by the MedicX Shareholders at the MedicX Court Meeting and the MedicX General Meeting, which will be held on 1 March 2019.

Votes 'For' and 'Against' are expressed as a percentage of the total votes received. 'Votes Withheld' are not a vote in law and have not been counted in the calculation of the 'Votes For' and 'Votes Against' the resolutions or the total number of votes validly cast.

As at close of business on 26 February 2019, being the last for registration of shareholdings for before the General Meeting, PHP had 784,677,934 Ordinary Shares in issue each carrying one vote and therefore the total number of voting rights in respect of the General Meeting is 784,677,934.

A copy of the resolutions passed at the General Meeting has been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism in accordance with 9.6.2 of the Listing Rules.

The voting results will also shortly be available on PHP's website at www.phpgroup.co.uk/investors.

Capitalised terms used but not defined in this announcement have the meanings given to them in the combined circular and prospectus published by the Company on 8 February 2019.

In particular, the ability of persons who are not resident in the United Kingdom or Guernsey or who are subject to the laws of another jurisdiction to participate in the Merger or to vote their MedicX Scheme Shares in respect of the Scheme at the MedicX Court Meeting, or to execute and deliver Forms of Proxy appointing another to vote at the MedicX Court Meeting on their behalf, may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdictions in which they are located or to which they are subject. Any failure to comply with the applicable requirements may constitute a violation of the laws and/or regulations of any such jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the companies and persons involved in the Merger disclaim any responsibility or liability for the violation of such restrictions by any person.

Unless otherwise determined by PHP or required by the Takeover Code and permitted by applicable law and regulation, participation in the Merger will not be made available, directly or indirectly, in, into or from any jurisdiction where to do so would violate the laws in that jurisdiction and no person may vote in favour of the Merger by any such use, means, instrumentality or form within any such restricted jurisdiction or any other jurisdiction if to do so would constitute a violation of the laws of that jurisdiction. Accordingly, copies of this announcement and all documentation relating to the Merger are not being, and must not be, directly or indirectly, mailed or otherwise forwarded, distributed or sent in, into or from any restricted jurisdiction where to do so would violate the laws in that jurisdiction, and persons receiving this announcement and all documents relating to the Merger (including custodians, nominees and trustees) must not mail or otherwise distribute or send them in, into or from such jurisdictions as doing so may invalidate any purported vote in respect of the Merger.

Persons who are not resident in the United Kingdom or who are subject to other jurisdictions should inform themselves of, and observe, any applicable legal or regulatory requirements.

Further details in relation to Overseas Shareholders are contained in the Scheme Document and the Combined Circular and Prospectus.

Notice to US investors

The Merger relates to the securities of a Guernsey company with a listing on the London Stock Exchange and is proposed to be implemented pursuant to a scheme of arrangement provided for under the Companies Law of Guernsey. A transaction effected by means of a scheme of arrangement is not subject to the tender offer rules or the proxy solicitation rules under the US Exchange Act. Accordingly, the Scheme is subject to procedural and disclosure requirements and practices applicable to a scheme of arrangement involving a target company in Guernsey listed on the London Stock Exchange, which are different from the disclosure requirements of the US tender offer and proxy solicitation rules. If in the future PHP exercises its right to implement the Merger by way of a Takeover Offer, such Takeover Offer will be made in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including, without limitation, to the extent applicable, Section 14(e) of the US Exchange Act and Regulation 14E thereunder, and subject, in the case of participation by MedicX Shareholders resident in the United States, to the availability of an exemption (if any) from the registration requirements of the US Securities Act and of the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States. Such Takeover Offer would be made by PHP and no one else. In addition to any such Takeover Offer, PHP, certain affiliated companies and the nominees or brokers (acting as agents) may make certain purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, shares in MedicX outside such Takeover Offer during the period in which such Takeover Offer would remain open for acceptance. If such purchases or arrangements to purchase were to be made, they would be made outside the United States and would comply with applicable law, including the US Exchange Act. Any information about such purchases will be disclosed as required in the United Kingdom and Guernsey, will be reported to a Regulatory Information Service of the UK Listing Authority and will be available on the London Stock Exchange website: http://www.londonstockexchange.com/.

The financial information included in this announcement and other documentation related to the Merger has been or will have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and thus may not be comparable to financial information of US companies or companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the US.

The New Shares to be issued under the Scheme have not been and will not be registered under the US Securities Act or under any laws or with any securities regulatory authority of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States and may only be offered or sold in the US in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of the US Securities Act. The New Shares are expected to be issued in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the US Securities Act provided by Section 3(a)(10) thereof. MedicX Shareholders who are or will be affiliates of PHP or MedicX prior to, or of PHP after, the Effective Date will be subject to certain US transfer restrictions relating to the New Shares received pursuant to the Scheme as will be further described in the Scheme Document.

For the purposes of qualifying for the exemption from the registration requirements of the US Securities Act afforded by Section 3(a)(10) thereunder, MedicX will advise the Court that its sanctioning of the Scheme will be relied on by PHP as an approval of the Scheme following a hearing on the fairness of the terms and conditions of the Scheme to MedicX Shareholders.

None of the securities referred to in this announcement have been approved or disapproved by the SEC or any US state securities commission, nor have any such authorities passed judgment upon the fairness or the merits of the Merger or determined if this announcement is accurate or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the United States.

US holders of MedicX Shares also should be aware that the transaction contemplated herein may have tax consequences in the United States and that such consequences, if any, are not described herein. US holders of MedicX Shares are urged to consult with independent professional advisors regarding the legal, tax and financial consequences of the Merger applicable to them.

It may be difficult for US holders of MedicX Shares to enforce their rights and claims arising out of the US federal securities laws since PHP and MedicX are organized in countries other than the US and some or all of their officers and directors may be residents of, and some or all of their assets may be located in, jurisdictions other than the US. US holders of MedicX Shares may have difficulty effecting service of process within the US upon those persons or recovering against judgments of US courts, including judgments based upon the civil liability provisions of the US federal securities laws. US holders of MedicX Shares may not be able to sue a non-US company or its officers or directors in a non-US court for violations of US securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel a non-US company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a US court's judgment.

Further details in relation to US investors will be contained in the Scheme Document and the Combined Circular and Prospectus.

Such forward looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect expected results and/or the operations of PHP, MedicX or the Enlarged Group and are based on certain assumptions and assessments made by PHP and MedicX in light of their experience and their perception of historical trends, current conditions, future developments and other factors they believe appropriate. Except as expressly provided in this announcement, they have not been reviewed by the auditors of PHP or MedicX.

There are several factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward looking statements. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward looking statements are changes in the global, political, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory forces, future exchange and interest rates, changes in tax rates and future business acquisitions or disposals. Such statements are qualified in their entirety by the inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding future expectations.
