Statement re CAB Payments Holdings plc

StoneX announces that it has made an approach to the Board of CAB Payments in relation to a potential acquisition of the entire issued and to be issued share capital of CAB Payments.

After careful consideration, StoneX submitted an all cash proposal to the Board of CAB Payments at a price of 95 pence per share (the "Proposal"), which represents:

§ a 32% premium to the undisturbed closing share price of 72 pence as of 30th January 2026 (being the last business day before the Helios Consortium's possible offer announcement); and

§ a 11% premium to the Helios Consortium's firm offer of 85 pence (1) ($1.15) per share as announced on 2nd March 2026.

StoneX believes that its Proposal would provide a compelling opportunity for CAB Payments' shareholders to monetise their holdings in CAB Payments for cash at an attractive valuation which is also at a significant premium to its recent and undisturbed share price and the Helios Consortium's firm offer.

StoneX sees a high degree of complementarity between CAB Payments and StoneX's Payments business, with the potential combination of both creating a leading, global specialist in Emerging Markets payments. StoneX is therefore confident that it is the best long-term owner and custodian of CAB Payments, with the potential combination unlocking incremental opportunities for key stakeholders.

StoneX looks forward to engaging constructively with the Board of CAB Payments and the Helios Consortium to finalise the terms of a recommended transaction to be put forward to CAB Payments' shareholders.

Other Matters

The release by StoneX of an announcement of a firm intention to make an offer for CAB Payments under Rule 2.7 of the Code is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of pre-conditions, including:

§ Satisfactory completion of StoneX's customary due diligence;

§ the unanimous and unconditional recommendation of our Proposal by the Board of CAB Payments to its shareholders; and

§ Receipt of hard irrevocable undertakings from each CAB Payments director, the Helios Consortium and Eurocomm Holding Limited, committing to support our Proposal

StoneX reserves the right to waive, in its absolute discretion, in whole or in part, any such pre-conditions.

This announcement does not constitute an announcement of a firm intention to make an offer under the Code. There can be no certainty that any offer for CAB Payments will be made even if the pre-conditions referred to above, or any other pre- conditions, are satisfied or waived.

Pursuant to Rule 2.5(a)(i) of the Code, StoneX reserves the right to vary the form of consideration as set out above and / or introduce other forms of consideration in substitution for all or part of the cash consideration. StoneX also reserves the right to make the offer on less favourable terms than those described in the Proposal:

§ with the recommendation or consent of the Board of CAB Payments;

§ following the announcement by CAB Payments of a Rule 9 waiver proposal or a reverse takeover (as defined in the Code); or

§ if a third party, excluding the Helios Consortium, announces a firm intention to make an offer for CAB Payments on less favourable terms than our Proposal.

Separately, if CAB Payments announces, declares, makes or pays any dividend or any other distribution or return of value to shareholders after the date of this announcement, StoneX reserves the right to make an equivalent adjustment to the terms of its Proposal.

A further announcement will be made if and when appropriate.
