EPE Special Opportunities Limited

Vesting of the Share Matching Scheme and PDMR Shareholdings

Vesting of the Share Matching Scheme

EPE Special Opportunities Limited (the "Company") announces that, on 28 April 2026 in the offices of the Company's administrator, certain awards made under the Company's share matching scheme (the "Scheme") vested to certain members of the Board of Directors and the investment advisor, EPIC Investment Partners LLP ("EPIC") (together, the "Participants") (the "Vesting").

As a result of the Vesting, the Participants' interests in jointly held vesting ordinary shares ("Matching Shares") have increased such that the Participants now hold the entire beneficial interest in the Matching Shares (as opposed to just a portion of the beneficial interest) and the Participants now hold the full legal title to those ordinary shares.

The interests in the Matching Shares were transferred to Participants from the Company's employee benefit trust. The number of ordinary shares in issue, not held by the Company in treasury, is unchanged by the Vesting.

PDMR Shareholding

Certain members of EPIC and certain Directors of the Company (being PDMRs of the Company) have received the entire beneficial interest and legal title to the Matching Shares as part of the Vesting described above. The details of the Matching Shares received by PDMRs are provided below:

Note 1: PDMRs acquired an interest in each ordinary share for the price given ("Interest Price"). The Interest Price was calculated in relation to the size of interest purchased (i.e. size of the interest not already held by the PDMR), the Company's closing price on the day prior to the Vesting and the Company's closing price on the day prior to the granting of the share matching award.
