NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, IN, INTO OR FROM ANY JURISDICTION WHERE TO DO SO WOULD CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF THE RELEVANT LAWS OF SUCH JURISDICTION

Statement Regarding Possible Offer for Tavistock Investments plc

TEAM today announces that it no longer intends to proceed with its possible offer for Tavistock Investments plc ("Tavistock").

The basis and rationale for a possible combination of the two companies was set out in the TEAM announcement of 23 March 2021. Since that date, TEAM have engaged constructively with shareholders of Tavistock but have not been able to fully engage with the Board of Tavistock. As a consequence, the Board of TEAM believes that other growth and acquisition opportunities are more compelling at this time and in the best interest of its shareholders to pursue.

As a result of this announcement, TEAM, and any person acting in concert with TEAM, is bound by the restrictions under Rule 2.8 of the Code save in the circumstances set out below or otherwise with the consent of the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Panel").

Under Note 2 on Rule 2.8 of the Code, TEAM, and any person acting in concert with TEAM, reserves the right to announce an offer or make or participate in an offer or possible offer for Tavistock and/or to take any other action which would otherwise be restricted under Rule 2.8 of the Code within six months from the date of this announcement in the following circumstances: (a) with the agreement of the board of Tavistock; (b) if any third party announces a firm intention to make an offer for Tavistock; (c) if Tavistock announces a "whitewash" proposal (see Note 1 of the Notes on Dispensations from Rule 9 of the Code) or a reverse takeover (as defined in the Code); or (d) if there has been a material change of circumstances (as determined by the Panel).

TEAM, and any person acting in concert with TEAM, reserves the right to acquire and/or offer to acquire Tavistock shares or interests in Tavistock shares subject to and in accordance with Rule 2.8 of the Code.
