Court Approval of the Scheme of Arrangement

Wise plc ("Wise") confirms that the High Court of Justice in England and Wales (the "Court") has today sanctioned the scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006 (the "Scheme") by which Wise Group plc will be inserted as the new ultimate parent company of Wise. The Scheme facilitates Wise's proposal to move its primary listing to the United States on Nasdaq and maintain a secondary listing in the United Kingdom on the London Stock Exchange.

We remain on track to complete our dual listing this quarter, with an expected listing date of 11 May 2026.

Next steps and timetable

The Scheme remains conditional on a copy of the Court Order being delivered to the Registrar of Companies, which is expected to take place at 10.00 p.m. (London time) on 8 May 2026. All other conditions to the Scheme have been satisfied.

There have been no changes to the expected timetable of principal events for the dual listing, a summary of which is set out below.
