On 26 October 2021, the boards of Ince and Arden announced that they had reached agreement on the terms of a recommended all share offer by Ince for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Arden (the "Acquisition"), to be effected by means of a court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006 (the "Scheme").

A document containing full details of the terms and conditions of the Scheme and the Acquisition (the "Scheme Document") was published on 20 December 2021. Capitalised terms used but not otherwise defined in this announcement have the meanings given to them in the Scheme Document.

The Scheme will become effective upon the delivery of a copy of the Court Order to the Registrar of Companies, which is expected to occur on 28 April 2022.

The current expected timetable of principal events for the completion of the Scheme and the Acquisition remains as set out in Ince's announcement on 14 April 2022.

A further announcement will be made when the Scheme has become Effective.
