ADMISSION OF SHARES

On 17 June 2022, the Boards of Bordeaux UK Holdings II Limited ("Bidco") (an affiliate of Optum Health Solutions (UK) Limited) and EMIS announced that they had reached agreement on the terms of a recommended all cash offer pursuant to which Bidco will acquire the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of EMIS (the "Acquisition").  The Acquisition is being implemented by means of a Court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006 (the "Scheme").

In connection with the Acquisition, and to satisfy awards held by employees of EMIS and its subsidiaries under the Company's established share option plans, which awards will vest and become exercisable upon Court sanction of the Scheme, EMIS announces that it has applied for 846,034 ordinary shares of £0.01 each in the capital of EMIS to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission").

Admission is expected to take place at 8.00 a.m. on 25 October 2023.
