Announcement regarding media speculation
Pollen Street Group Limited ("Pollen Street" or the "Company") notes the recent media speculation relating to it.
As announced in its results for the six months ended 30 June 2026, the Company continues to deliver against its strategy, as evidenced by sustained fundraising momentum across both its Private Credit and Private Equity strategies and continued growth in assets under management.
The Board confirms it has commenced an assessment of the strategic options available to the Company with a view to delivering greater value for shareholders. While multiple options are being assessed, one such possibility is for the Company to be taken private.
Against that backdrop, the Company confirms that it has initiated preliminary discussions with a limited number of third parties to establish their suitability as a strategic partner and whether they might be interested in making a possible offer for the Company.
These discussions are at a very early stage and remain ongoing. As such, there can be no certainty that an offer will be made for the Company, nor as to the terms on which any such offer might be made, nor that the Company will pursue or participate in any other transaction as a result of the strategic review, nor as to the terms of any such transaction.
The Panel Executive has granted a dispensation from the requirements of Rules 2.4(a) and 2.4(b) of the Code such that the Company is not required to identify in any announcement any potential offeror with which the Company is in talks, or from which an approach has been received, unless that potential offeror has been specifically identified in any rumour or speculation.
A further announcement will be made as and when appropriate.
