Extension of Rule 2.6 Deadline

On 30 July 2025, Empresaria Group plc (AIM: EMR), the international specialist staffing group ("Empresaria" or the "Company") announced that it had received a non-binding indicative proposal regarding a possible cash offer by Legacy UK Holdings Limited ("Legacy"), for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Empresaria at a price of 62 pence per ordinary share, payable in cash on completion (the "Possible Offer").

The Company and Legacy remain in positive discussions concerning the Possible Offer and Legacy's due diligence is progressing. Empresaria has requested, and the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Panel") has consented to, an extension of the current deadline of 5.00 pm on 24 September 2025 by which time Legacy was required to, in accordance with Rule 2.6(a) of the Code, either announce a firm intention to make an offer for the Company under Rule 2.7 of the Code or announce that it does not intend to make an offer, in which case the announcement will be treated as a statement to which Rule 2.8 of the Code applies.

Accordingly, in accordance with Rule 2.6(a) of the Code, Legacy is now required, by not later than 5.00 pm on 22 October 2025, to either announce a firm intention to make an offer in accordance with Rule 2.7 of the Code or announce that it does not intend to make an offer, in which case the announcement will be treated as a statement to which Rule 2.8 of the Code applies. This revised deadline may only be extended with the consent of the Panel, at Empresaria's request, in accordance with Rule 2.6(c) of the Code.

There can be no certainty that an offer will be made.
