SCHEME OF ARRANGEMENT BECOMES EFFECTIVE

On 23 July 2025, the boards of Alpha Group International plc (Alpha) and Corpay, Inc. (Corpay) jointly announced that they had reached agreement on the terms of a recommended acquisition, pursuant to which Corpay would acquire the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of Alpha (the Acquisition), to be effected by means of a Court approved scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006 (the Scheme).

On 28 October 2025, Alpha announced that the Court had sanctioned the Scheme to effect the Acquisition of Alpha by Corpay.

Alpha is pleased to announce that the Scheme has now become effective.

Under the terms of the Scheme, holders of Alpha Shares are entitled to receive 4,250 pence for each Alpha Share held at the Scheme Record Time (6.00 p.m. on 29 October 2025). The latest date for the despatch of cheques to Scheme Shareholders and settlement through CREST is 14 November 2025.

Dealings in Alpha Shares were suspended with effect from 6.00 p.m. on 29 October 2025. Applications have been made to the UK Listing Authority and the London Stock Exchange in relation to the delisting of Alpha Shares from the Official List and cancellation of the admission to trading of Alpha Shares on the main market of the London Stock Exchange, which are each expected to take place at 8.00 a.m. on 3 November 2025.

Persons who are not resident in the United Kingdom or the United States or who are subject to the laws and regulations of other jurisdictions should inform themselves of, and observe, any applicable requirements.

Unless otherwise determined by Corpay or required by the Code, and permitted by applicable law and regulation, the Acquisition will not be made available, directly or indirectly, in, into or from any Restricted Jurisdiction where to do so would violate the laws in that jurisdiction and no person may vote in favour of the Acquisition by any such use, means, instrumentality or form within a Restricted Jurisdiction or any other jurisdiction if to do so would constitute a violation of the laws of that jurisdiction. Accordingly, copies of this Announcement and all documents relating to the Acquisition are not being, and must not be, directly or indirectly, mailed or otherwise forwarded, distributed or sent in, into or from a Restricted Jurisdiction where to do so would violate the laws in that jurisdiction, and persons receiving this Announcement and all documents relating to the Acquisition (including custodians, nominees and trustees) must not mail or otherwise forward, distribute or send them in, into or from such jurisdictions where to do so would violate the laws in those jurisdictions. If the Acquisition is implemented by way of a Takeover Offer (unless otherwise permitted by applicable law and regulation), such Takeover Offer may not be made available directly or indirectly, in, into or from any Restricted Jurisdiction and the Takeover Offer will not be capable of acceptance by any such use, means, instrumentality or facilities from a Restricted Jurisdiction where to do so would violate the laws in that jurisdiction.

The availability of the Acquisition to Alpha Shareholders who are not resident in the United Kingdom or the United States (and, in particular, their ability to vote their Scheme Shares with respect to the Scheme at the Court Meeting, or to appoint another person as proxy to vote at the Court Meeting on their behalf) may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdictions in which they are resident. Persons who are not resident in the United Kingdom or the United States should inform themselves of, and observe, any applicable requirements, as any failure to comply with such requirements may constitute a violation of the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the companies and persons involved in the Acquisition disclaim any responsibility or liability for the violation of such restrictions by any person. The Acquisition will be subject to the applicable requirements of the Code, the Panel, the London Stock Exchange, the Financial Conduct Authority and the Listing Rules.

Further details in relation to Overseas Shareholders are contained in the Scheme Document.

Shareholders subject to Sanctions

If any Alpha Shares are Scheme Restricted Shares: (a) such Scheme Restricted Shares will not form part of, and will not be transferred pursuant to, the Acquisition and/or the Scheme; (b) no holder of such Scheme Restricted Shares will receive any Cash Consideration; and (d) under the terms of the Acquisition and the Scheme, with effect on and from the Effective Date, all rights attaching to such Scheme Restricted Shares will cease to be exercisable.

Please refer to the Scheme in Part IV (The Scheme of Arrangement) of the Scheme Document for further details.

Additional information for US investors

The receipt of cash pursuant to the Acquisition by a US holder as consideration for the transfer of its Scheme Shares pursuant to the Scheme will likely be a taxable transaction for United States federal income tax purposes and under applicable United States state and local, as well as foreign and other, tax laws.

Each US Alpha Shareholder is urged to consult his or her independent professional adviser immediately regarding the tax consequences of the Acquisition applicable to him or her.

It may be difficult for US holders to enforce their rights and claims arising out of the US federal securities laws, since Alpha is located in a country other than the US, and all of its officers and directors are residents of countries other than the US. US holders may not be able to sue a non-US company or its officers or directors in a non-US court for violations of US securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel a non-US company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a US court's judgement.

Electronic communications

Please be aware that addresses, electronic addresses and certain information provided by Alpha Shareholders, persons with information rights and other relevant persons for the receipt of communications from Alpha may be provided to Corpay during the Offer Period as requested under Section 4 of Appendix 4 of the Code to comply with Rule 2.11(c) of the Code.
