Update on Share Buyback Programme

Hill & Smith today confirms the completion by Deutsche Bank AG (trading for these purposes as Deutsche Numis) of the first c.£50 million tranche of the Company's £100m share buyback programme announced on 13 August 2025 ('Programme'). The Company has repurchased and cancelled 2,141,741 ordinary shares since the commencement of the Programme.

The Company has entered into an agreement with Jefferies International Limited to execute the second tranche of the Programme, with a maximum aggregate value of up to £50 million.

Additionally, the Company also announces that it intends to make use of the FCA's updated notification deadline under UKLR 9.6.6R, which permits post-trade notifications of purchases of own shares to be made no later than the end of the seventh daily market session following the date of execution.

The terms of the Programme remain unchanged other than as set out in this announcement.
