13 September 2021. Just Group plc (the Company) announces today the results of its invitation to holders of its £300,000,000 Fixed Rate Reset Perpetual Restricted Tier 1 Contingent Convertible Notes (ISIN: XS1934875219 ) (the Target Notes) to tender their Target Notes for purchase by the Company for cash (the Offer).

The Offer was announced on 6 September 2021 and was made on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the tender offer memorandum dated 6 September 2021 (the Tender Offer Memorandum). Capitalised terms used in this announcement but not defined have the meanings given to them in the Tender Offer Memorandum.

The Expiration Deadline for the Offer was 4.00 p.m. (London time) on 10 September 2021. As at the Expiration Deadline, £295,170,000 in aggregate nominal amount of the Target Notes were validly tendered for purchase pursuant to the Offer.

The Company announces that (subject to the satisfaction, or waiver, of the New Financing Condition on or prior to the Settlement Date) it has decided to accept for purchase all Target Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Offer, at a cash purchase price equal to 117.000 per cent. of the nominal amount of the relevant Target Notes, together with an Accrued Interest Payment.

The expected Settlement Date for the Offer is 17 September 2021.

Following the Settlement Date, the Company intends to cancel the Target Notes purchased pursuant to the Offer and, accordingly, the Company will have repurchased and cancelled 98.39 per cent. of the nominal amount of the originally issued Target Notes. As a consequence, the 80 per cent. threshold described in the Tender Offer Memorandum (see "The Offer - The Company's right to redeem following the repurchase (and cancellation) or redemption of 80 per cent. of the Target Notes") will have been met and it is the current intention of the Company to exercise its option under the terms and conditions of the Target Notes to redeem, following settlement of the Offer, all of the Target Notes that were not validly tendered for purchase pursuant to the Offer, at their nominal amount together with any accrued and unpaid interest. However, the Company is not under any obligation to make any such redemption and the Company's intention to do so may change at any time and for any reason.
