Shawbrook Group plc (the Offeror) announces today that it is inviting holders of its outstanding £124,000,000 Fixed Rate Reset Perpetual Additional Tier 1 Write Down Capital Securities (ISIN: XS2545760188) (the Securities) to tender any and all of their Securities for purchase by the Offeror for cash, subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the New Issue Condition (such invitation, the Offer).

The Offer is being made on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the tender offer memorandum dated 27 April 2026 (the Tender Offer Memorandum) prepared by the Offeror in connection with the Offer and is subject to the offer restrictions set out below and as more fully described in the Tender Offer Memorandum. Capitalised terms used but not otherwise defined in this announcement shall have the meanings given to them in the Tender Offer Memorandum.

Holders are advised to read carefully the Tender Offer Memorandum for full details of, and information on the procedures for participating in, the Offer.

Summary

The table below sets out certain information relevant to the Offer:

Separate to the Offer described in this announcement, the Offeror is open to receiving offers from holders of its £125,000,000 Fixed Rate Reset Perpetual Additional Tier 1 Write Down Capital Securities (ISIN: XS1731676794) issued on 8 December 2017 (the 2017 Securities) of which £1,000,000 in principal amount is currently outstanding, to sell their 2017 Securities. This statement does not create an obligation for the Offeror to accept any offer to sell any 2017 Securities. The Dealer Managers are not acting as dealer managers but may act as a dealer in respect of these separate potential repurchases of 2017 Securities.

Rationale

Alongside the Offer, the Offeror intends to issue sterling denominated Fixed Rate Reset Perpetual Additional Tier 1 Write Down Capital Securities (the New Securities), subject to market conditions. The issue of the New Securities and the Offer are intended to optimise the Offeror's regulatory capital.

Securities purchased by the Offeror pursuant to the Offer are expected to be cancelled and will not be re-issued or re-sold.

Purchase Price and Accrued Interest Payments

The Offeror will, on the Settlement Date, pay for Securities validly tendered and accepted by it for purchase pursuant to the Offer a cash purchase price equal to 108.000 per cent. of the principal amount of the relevant Securities (the Purchase Price).

The Offeror will also pay an Accrued Interest Payment in respect of any Securities validly tendered and accepted for purchase by it pursuant to the Offer.

New Issue Condition

The Offeror announced today its intention to issue the New Securities, subject to market conditions. Whether the Offeror will accept for purchase any Securities validly tendered in the Offer is subject, without limitation, to the successful completion (in the sole determination of the Offeror) of the issue of the New Securities (the New Issue Condition) unless such condition is waived by the Offeror in its sole discretion.

Even if the New Issue Condition is satisfied or waived, the Offeror is under no obligation to accept for purchase any Securities tendered pursuant to the Offer. The acceptance for purchase by the Offeror of Securities validly tendered pursuant to the Offer is at the sole and absolute discretion of the Offeror, and tenders may be rejected by the Offeror for any reason. Pricing of the New Securities is expected to occur prior to the Expiration Deadline (as defined in the Tender Offer Memorandum).

Neither this announcement nor the Tender Offer Memorandum constitutes an offer of the New Securities and may not be used for the purposes of any such offer. Any investment decision to purchase any New Securities should be made solely on the basis of the information contained in the admission particulars to be prepared by the Offeror in connection with the issue and admission to trading of the New Securities on the ISM (the Admission Particulars), and no reliance is to be placed on any representations other than those contained in the Admission Particulars.

For the avoidance of doubt, the ability to purchase New Securities is subject to all applicable securities laws and regulations in force in any relevant jurisdiction (including the jurisdiction of the relevant Holder and the selling restrictions set out in the Admission Particulars). It is the sole responsibility of each Holder to satisfy itself that it is eligible to purchase the New Securities.

The New Securities are not being, and will not be, offered or sold in the United States. Nothing in this announcement or the Tender Offer Memorandum constitutes an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the New Securities in the United States or any other jurisdiction. Securities may not be offered, sold or delivered in the United States absent registration under, or an exemption from the registration requirements of, the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act). The New Securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States and may not be offered, sold or delivered, directly or indirectly, within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons.

Compliance information for the New Securities: UK MiFIR professionals/ECPs-only/No UK PRIIPS KID/CCI product summary or EU PRIIPS KID - eligible counterparties and professional clients only (all distribution channels). No sales to UK retail investors or EEA retail investors; no key information document or product summary in respect of the UK or the EEA has been or will be prepared.

See the Admission Particulars, when available, for further information.

No action has been or will be taken in any jurisdiction in relation to the New Securities to permit a public offering of securities.

Priority Allocation in the New Securities

A Holder that wishes to subscribe for New Securities in addition to tendering or indicating its firm intention to tender Securities for purchase pursuant to the Offer may, at the sole and absolute discretion of the Offeror and in the circumstances set out in the following paragraph, receive priority (the New Securities Priority) in the allocation of the New Securities, subject to the issue of the New Securities and to such Holder making a separate application for the purchase of such New Securities to any of Barclays Bank PLC, Goldman Sachs International or NatWest Markets Plc (in its capacity as a joint bookrunner of the issue of the New Securities) in accordance with the standard new issue procedures of such joint bookrunner.

A key factor in the allocation of the New Securities will be whether Holders have validly tendered or indicated to any of Barclays Bank PLC, Goldman Sachs International or NatWest Markets Plc (each in its capacity as a joint bookrunner of the issue of the New Securities) their firm intention to tender their Securities. When considering allocation of the New Securities, the Offeror intends to give preference to Holders which, prior to such allocation, have validly tendered or indicated to any of Barclays Bank PLC, Goldman Sachs International or NatWest Markets Plc (each in its capacity as a joint bookrunner of the issue of the New Securities) their firm intention to tender their Securities and subscribe for New Securities. However, the Offeror is not obliged to allocate any New Securities to a Holder which has validly tendered or indicated a firm intention to tender their Securities pursuant to the Offer.

Any allocation of the New Securities, while being considered by the Offeror as set out above, will be made in accordance with customary new issue allocation processes and procedures and will also take into account the minimum denomination of the New Securities (being £200,000). In the event that a Holder validly tenders Securities pursuant to the Offer, such Securities will remain subject to such tender and the conditions of the Offer as set out in the Tender Offer Memorandum irrespective of whether that Holder receives all, part or none of any allocation of New Securities for which it has applied.

To request New Securities Priority, a Holder should contact Barclays Bank PLC, Goldman Sachs International or NatWest Markets Plc (each in its capacity as a joint bookrunner of the issue of the New Securities) using the contact details on the last page of the Tender Offer Memorandum.

Holders should note that the pricing and allocation of the New Securities are expected to take place prior to the Expiration Deadline and, as such, Holders that wish to subscribe for New Securities in addition to validly tendering existing Securities for purchase pursuant to the Offer are advised to contact such joint bookrunners as soon as possible prior to the pricing of the New Securities in order to request New Securities Priority.

Tender Instructions

In order to participate in, and be eligible to receive the Purchase Price and Accrued Interest Payment pursuant to, the Offer, Holders must validly tender their Securities for purchase by delivering, or arranging to have delivered on their behalf, a valid Tender Instruction that is received by the Tender Agent by 4.00 p.m. (London time) on 5 May 2026 (the Expiration Deadline), unless extended, re-opened, amended and/or terminated as provided in the Tender Offer Memorandum.

Holders are advised to check with any bank, securities broker or other intermediary through which they hold Securities when such intermediary would need to receive instructions from a Holder in order for that Holder to be able to participate in, or (in the limited circumstances in which revocation is permitted) revoke their instruction to participate in, the Offer by the deadlines specified below and in the Tender Offer Memorandum. The deadlines set by any such intermediary and each Clearing System for the submission and revocation of Tender Instructions will be earlier than the relevant deadlines specified below and in the Tender Offer Memorandum.

Tender Instructions will be irrevocable except in the limited circumstances described in the Tender Offer Memorandum.

Tender Instructions must be submitted in respect of a minimum principal amount of Securities of no less than £200,000, being the minimum denomination of the Securities, and may be submitted in integral multiples of £1,000 thereafter.

No Pro Rata Scaling

If the Offeror decides to accept valid tenders of Securities for purchase pursuant to the Offer, it will accept for purchase all of the Securities that are validly tendered in full, with no pro rata scaling, subject to the conditions set out in the Tender Offer Memorandum including the satisfaction (or waiver) of the New Issue Condition.

Announcement of Results

The Offeror will announce, as soon as reasonably practicable on 6 May 2026, its decision of whether to accept (subject to satisfaction (or waiver) of the New Issue Condition on or prior to the Settlement Date) valid tenders of Securities pursuant to the Offer and, if so accepted, the aggregate principal amount of Securities accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer, with such announcement expected to occur on or around the Business Day following the Expiration Deadline. 

The anticipated transaction timetable is summarised below:

The above times and dates are subject to the right of the Offeror to extend, re-open, amend, waive any condition of and/or terminate the Offer (subject to applicable law and as provided in the Tender Offer Memorandum).

The deadlines set by any such intermediary and each Clearing System for the submission of Tender Instructions will be earlier than the relevant deadlines described above.
