FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
12 January 2024
RECOMMED CASH OFFER
for
Ten Entertainment Group plc
by
Neon Buyer Limited
(a newly formed company indirectly owned by investment funds
advised by Trive Capital Partners LP)
to be implemented by means of a scheme of arrangement under Part
26 of the Companies Act 2006
Results of the Court Meeting and General Meeting
On 6 December 2023, the boards of directors of Ten Entertainment
Group plc ("TEG") and Neon Buyer Limited ("Bidco") announced that
they had reached agreement on the terms of a recommended cash offer
by Bidco for the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share
capital of TEG (the "Acquisition"). The Acquisition is to be
implemented by way of a Court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement
under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006 (the "Act") (the
"Scheme").
The circular in relation to the Scheme, including the notices
convening the Court Meeting and the
General Meeting in connection with the Acquisition, was
published on 19 December 2023 (the "Scheme Document"). On 22
December 2023, an announcement was released by TEG to update the
Voting Record Time and the timing of the Court Meeting (the
"Updated Timetable Announcement").
Capitalised terms used in this announcement shall, unless
otherwise defined, have the same meanings as set out in the Scheme
Document. All references to times in this announcement are to
London, United Kingdom.
Results of the Court Meeting and the General Meeting
TEG and Bidco are pleased to announce that, at the Court Meeting
and the General Meeting held on 11 January 2024 in connection with
the Acquisition:
1. the requisite majority of Scheme Shareholders voted (either
in person or by proxy) to approve the Scheme, being a majority in
number of Scheme Shareholders present and voting either in person
or by proxy, representing not less than 75 per cent. in value of
the Scheme Shares voted by such Scheme Shareholders, at the Court
Meeting held at 10.00 a.m. on 11 January 2024; and
2. the requisite majority of TEG Shareholders voted (either in
person or by proxy) to pass the Resolution to implement the Scheme,
including: (a) the amendment of the TEG Articles; and (b) the
re-registration of TEG as a private limited company conditional on
the Scheme becoming Effective, at the General Meeting held at 10.15
a.m. on 11 January 2024 .
Details of the resolutions passed are set out in the notices of
the Court Meeting and the General Meeting contained in the Scheme
Document, which, subject to any restrictions relating to persons
resident in Restricted Jurisdictions, is available on TEG's website
at www.tegplc.co.uk .

Consequently, the total number of voting rights in TEG at the
Voting Record Time was 68,496,118.
In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2R, a copy of the Resolution
passed at the General Meeting will shortly be submitted to the
National Storage Mechanism and will be available for inspection at
the FCA document viewing facility
https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstorage mechanism.
Update on Conditions
The outcome of the Court Meeting and General Meeting means that
Conditions 2.1 and 2.2 (as set out in Part A of Part 3 of the
Scheme Document) have been satisfied.
Timetable
The expected timetable of principal events for the
implementation of the Scheme remains as set out in the Appendix to
the Updated Timetable Announcement. These dates and times are
indicative only and are subject to change. The dates will depend,
among other things, on the date on which: (i) the Conditions are
either satisfied or (if capable of waiver) waived; (ii) the Court
sanctions the Scheme; and (iii) the Court Order(s) sanctioning the
Scheme are delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The hearing
before the Court to sanction the Scheme is currently expected to be
held on 19 January 2024.
TEG will give adequate notice of any change or revision of these
currently expected dates and/or times by issuing an announcement of
the revised dates and/or times through a Regulatory Information
Service, with such announcement being made available on TEG's
website at www.tegplc.co.uk .
TEG expects that, subject to the satisfaction (or, where
applicable, waiver) of the Conditions, the Scheme will become
effective in the first quarter of 2024.

Overseas shareholders
This announcement has been prepared in accordance with, and for
the purposes of complying with, English law, the Takeover Code, the
Market Abuse Regulation, the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency
Rules and the Listing Rules and information disclosed may not be
the same as that which would have been disclosed if this
announcement had been prepared in accordance with the laws of
jurisdictions outside of England.
The release, publication or distribution of this announcement in
or into jurisdictions other than the United Kingdom may be
restricted by law and therefore any persons who are subject to the
law of any jurisdiction other than the United Kingdom should inform
themselves of, and observe, any applicable legal or regulatory
requirements.
The availability of the Acquisition to TEG Shareholders who are
not resident in and citizens of the United Kingdom may be affected
by the laws of the relevant jurisdictions in which they are located
or of which they are citizens. Persons who are not resident in the
United Kingdom should inform themselves of, and observe, any
applicable legal or regulatory requirements of their jurisdictions.
In particular, the ability of persons who are not resident in the
United Kingdom 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 located.
Any failure to comply with the applicable restrictions 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. Further details in relation to Overseas Shareholders
are contained in the Scheme Document.
Unless otherwise determined by Bidco or required by the Takeover
Code, and permitted by applicable law and regulation, the
Acquisition will not be made available, in whole or in part,
directly or indirectly, in, into or from a 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 from within a Restricted Jurisdiction or
any other jurisdiction if to do so would constitute a violation of
the laws of that jurisdiction. Copies of this announcement and any
formal documentation relating to the Acquisition are not being, and
must not be, directly or indirectly, mailed or otherwise forwarded,
distributed or sent in or into or from any Restricted Jurisdiction
and persons receiving this announcement and all such documents
relating to the Acquisition (including, without limitation, agents,
custodians, nominees and trustees) must not mail or otherwise
forward, distribute or send them in or into or from any Restricted
Jurisdiction. Doing so may render invalid any related purported
vote in respect of the Acquisition. If the Acquisition is
implemented by way of an Offer (unless otherwise permitted by
applicable law and regulation), the Offer may not be made directly
or indirectly, in or into, or by the use of mails or any means or
instrumentality (including, but not limited to, facsimile, email or
other electronic transmission, telex or telephone) of interstate or
foreign commerce of, or of any facility of a national, state or
other securities exchange of any Restricted Jurisdiction and the
Offer may not be capable of acceptance by any such use, means,
instrumentality or facilities.
The Acquisition is subject to English law, the jurisdiction of
the Court, and the applicable requirements of the Takeover Code,
the Panel, the London Stock Exchange, the FCA, the Listing Rules
and the Registrar of Companies.
Additional information for US investors
The Acquisition relates to the shares of an English company and
is being made by means of a scheme of arrangement provided for
under the laws of England and Wales. A transaction effected by
means of a scheme of arrangement is not subject to the tender offer
rules or the proxy solicitation rules under the US Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, the Acquisition is subject to
the disclosure requirements and practices applicable in the United
Kingdom to schemes of arrangement which differ from the disclosure
requirements of the United States tender offer and proxy
solicitation rules.
If, in the future, Bidco exercises its right to implement the
Acquisition by way of an Offer which is to be made into the United
States, such Offer would be made in compliance with applicable US
laws and regulations.
The financial information included in this announcement and the
Scheme Document (or, if the Acquisition is implemented by way of an
Offer, the Offer Document) has been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting standards applicable in the United
Kingdom and thus may not be comparable to the financial information
of US companies or companies whose financial statements are
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States.
US TEG Shareholders also should be aware that the transaction
contemplated herein may have tax consequences in the US and, that
such consequences, if any, are not described herein. TEG
Shareholders are urged to consult with legal, tax and financial
advisers in connection with making a decision regarding this
transaction.
It may be difficult for US holders of TEG Shares to enforce
their rights and any claim arising out of the US federal laws,
since Bidco and TEG are located in a non-US jurisdiction, and some
or all of their officers and directors may be residents of a non-US
jurisdiction. US holders of TEG shares may not be able to sue a
non-US company or its officers or directors in a non-US court for
violations of the 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 jurisdiction or judgement.
In accordance with normal UK practice and pursuant to Rule
14e-5(b) of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Trive, its
nominees or their brokers (acting as agents), may from time to time
make certain purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, TEG Shares
outside of the US, other than pursuant to the Acquisition, until
the date on which the Acquisition becomes Effective, lapses or is
otherwise withdrawn. Also, in accordance with Rule 14e-5(b) of the
US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Cavendish will continue to act
as an exempt principal trader in TEG Shares on the London Stock
Exchange. If such purchases or arrangements to purchase were to be
made, they would occur either in the open market at prevailing
prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices. Any
information about such purchases will be disclosed as required in
the United Kingdom, will be reported to a Regulatory Information
Service and will be available on the London Stock Exchange website
at www.londonstockexchange.com .
Forward--looking statements
This announcement (including information incorporated by
reference into this announcement), statements made regarding the
Acquisition, and other information published by Bidco and TEG,
contain statements which are, or may be deemed to be,
"forward-looking statements". Forward-looking statements are
prospective in nature and are not based on historical facts, but
rather on current expectations and projections of the management of
Bidco and TEG about future events, and are therefore subject to
risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ
materially from the future results expressed or implied by the
forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements contained in this announcement
include statements with respect to the expected effects of the
Acquisition on Bidco and TEG (including their future prospects,
developments and strategies), the expected timing and scope of the
Acquisition and other statements other than historical facts.
Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified
by the use of forward-looking words such as "prepares", "plans",
"expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "is subject to",
"budget", "projects", "synergy", "strategy", "scheduled", "goal",
"estimates", "forecasts", "cost-saving", "intends", "target",
"aims", "anticipates", "continues", or "does not anticipate", or
"believes", or variations of such words and phrases or statements
that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "should",
"would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur, or be achieved. Forward
looking statements may include statements relating to the
following: (i) future capital expenditures, expenses, revenues,
earnings, synergies, economic performance, indebtedness, financial
condition, dividend policy, losses and future prospects; (ii)
business and management strategies and the expansion and growth of
Bidco's, TEG's, any member of the Bidco Group's or any member of
the TEG Group's operations and potential synergies resulting from
the Acquisition; and (iii) the effects of the global economic
conditions and governmental regulation on Bidco's, TEG's, any
member of the Bidco Group's or any member of the TEG Group's
business.
Although Bidco and TEG believe that the expectations reflected
in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, Bidco and TEG
can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have
been correct. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve
risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on
circumstances that will occur in the future. There are a number of
factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ
materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements.
These factors include, but are not limited to: the ability to
complete the Acquisition; the ability to obtain requisite
shareholder approvals and the satisfaction of other Conditions on
the proposed terms and schedule; changes in the global, political,
economic, business and competitive environments and in market and
regulatory forces; changes in future exchange and interest rates;
changes in tax rates; future business combinations or disposals;
changes in general economic and business conditions; changes in the
behaviour of other market participants; changes in the anticipated
benefits of the Acquisition not being realised as a result of
changes in general economic and market conditions in the countries
in which Bidco and TEG operate; weak, volatile or illiquid capital
and/or credit markets; changes in tax rates, interest rate and
currency value fluctuations, the degree of competition in the
geographic and business areas in which Bidco and TEG operate; and
changes in laws or in supervisory expectations or requirements.
Other unknown or unpredictable factors could cause actual results
to differ materially from those expected, estimated or projected in
the forward-looking statements. If any one or more of these risks
or uncertainties materialises or if any one or more of the
assumptions proves incorrect, actual results may differ materially
from those expected, estimated or projected. Such forward-looking
statements should therefore be construed in the light of such
factors.
Neither Bidco nor TEG nor any of their respective associates or
directors, officers or advisers, provides any representation,
assurance or guarantee that the occurrence of the events expressed
or implied in any forward-looking statements in this announcement
will actually occur. You are cautioned not to place any reliance on
these forward-looking statements.
Specifically, statements of estimated cost savings and synergies
related to future actions and circumstances which, by their nature,
involve risks, uncertainties and contingencies. As a result, any
cost savings and synergies referred to may not be achieved, may be
achieved later or sooner than estimated, or those achieved could be
materially different from those estimated. Due to the scale of the
TEG Group, there may be additional changes to the TEG Group's
operations. As a result, and given the fact that the changes relate
to the future, the resulting cost synergies may be materially
greater or less than those estimated.
Other than in accordance with their legal or regulatory
obligations, neither Bidco nor TEG is under any obligation, and
Bidco and TEG expressly disclaim any intention or obligation, to
update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a
result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Dealing and opening position disclosure requirements
Under Rule 8.3(a) of the Takeover Code, any person who is
interested in 1% or more of any class of relevant securities of an
offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror (being any
offeror other than an offeror in respect of which it has been
announced that its offer is, or is likely to be, solely in cash)
must make an Opening Position Disclosure following the commencement
of the offer period and, if later, following the announcement in
which any securities exchange offeror is first identified.
An Opening Position Disclosure must contain details of the
person's interests and short positions in, and rights to subscribe
for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree company and
(ii) any securities exchange offeror(s). An Opening Position
Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(a) of the Takeover Code
applies must be made by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the
10th business day following the commencement of the offer period
and, if appropriate, by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the
10th business day following the announcement in which any
securities exchange offeror is first identified. Relevant persons
who deal in the relevant securities of the offeree company or of a
securities exchange offeror prior to the deadline for making an
Opening Position Disclosure must instead make a Dealing
Disclosure.
Under Rule 8.3(b) of the Takeover Code, any person who is, or
becomes, interested in 1% or more of any class of relevant
securities of the offeree company or of any securities exchange
offeror must make a Dealing Disclosure if the person deals in any
relevant securities of the offeree company or of any securities
exchange offeror. A Dealing Disclosure must contain details of the
dealing concerned and of the person's interests and short positions
in, and rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of
(i) the offeree company and (ii) any securities exchange
offeror(s), save to the extent that these details have previously
been disclosed under Rule 8. A Dealing Disclosure by a person to
whom Rule 8.3(b) applies must be made by no later than 3.30 pm
(London time) on the business day following the date of the
relevant dealing.
If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or
understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire or control an
interest in relevant securities of an offeree company or a
securities exchange offeror, they will be deemed to be a single
person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.
Opening Position Disclosures must also be made by the offeree
company and by any offeror and Dealing Disclosures must also be
made by the offeree company, by any offeror and by any persons
acting in concert with any of them (see Rules 8.1, 8.2 and
8.4).
Details of the offeree and offeror companies in respect of whose
relevant securities Opening Position Disclosures and Dealing
Disclosures must be made can be found in the Disclosure Table on
the Takeover Panel's website at www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk,
including details of the number of relevant securities in issue,
when the offer period commenced and when any offeror was first
identified. You should contact the Panel's Market Surveillance Unit
on +44 (0)20 7638 0129 if you are in any doubt as to whether you
are required to make an Opening Position Disclosure or a Dealing
Disclosure.
