IG Group Holdings plc Results of the Court Meeting and the Extraordinary General Meeting held on 3 September 2026

On 8 July 2026, IG Group Holdings plc ("IG Group Holdings") announced that it intends to proceed with a group reorganisation, by means of a scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006, involving the insertion of a new Jersey incorporated, UK tax resident, holding company - Jenkins Topco plc (to be renamed IG Group Holdings plc) ("IG Jersey") - as the ultimate parent company of the group (the "Scheme"). A circular (the "Scheme Circular") was published to shareholders on 16 July 2026 containing, amongst other things, the terms of the Scheme, the formal Notices convening the requisite shareholder meetings and the related voting instructions. Capitalised terms used in this announcement but not defined shall have the meaning given to them in the Scheme Circular.

Today, two meetings of IG Group Holdings' shareholders were held at the offices of Freshfields LLP, 100 Bishopsgate, London, EC2P 2SR in connection with the Scheme and related matters. The first meeting was a meeting convened by an order of the High Court of Justice made on 15 July 2026 (the "Court Meeting") to approve the Scheme. The second meeting was a general meeting of IG Group Holdings (the "Extraordinary General Meeting") to approve certain matters related to the Scheme.

Results of the Court Meeting

IG Group Holdings is pleased to announce that, at the Court Meeting to approve the proposed Scheme, the resolution approving the Scheme was passed by the requisite majority on a poll.

The result of the poll taken at the Court Meeting of IG Group Holdings shareholders is set out as follows:

Present and Voting			Voted For the Scheme			Voted Against the Scheme
How Present	No. of IG Group Holdings shareholders	No. of IG Group Holdings shares represented	No. of IG Group Holdings shareholders	No. of IG Group Holdings shares represented		No. of  IG Group Holdings shareholders	No. of IG Group Holdings shares represented
				No.	% of those present and voting		No.	% of those present and voting
In Person	1	26,587,760	1	26,575,967	99.96%	1	11,793	0.04%
By Proxy	44	211,357,006	38	209,501,044	99.12%	15	1,855,962	0.88%
Total	45	237,944,766	39	236,077,011	99.22%	16	1,867,755	0.78%

*The aggregate of IG Group Holdings shareholders voting "for" and "against" the resolution as set out in this row exceeds the total number of IG Group Holdings shareholders who voted because 10 IG Group Holdings shareholders gave instructions for votes to be cast "for" the resolution in respect of part of their holding of IG Group Holdings shares and "against" the resolution in respect of another part of their holding of IG Group Holdings shares.

Accordingly, the resolution approving the Scheme at the Court Meeting was passed by a majority in number (specifically 70.91%) representing at least 75 per cent. in value (specifically 99.22%) of those present and voting at the Court Meeting (in person or by proxy).
