Forward-looking statements This announcement (including information incorporated by reference in this announcement), oral statements made regarding the Acquisition, and other information published by Bidco and Industrials contain certain statements, beliefs or opinions, with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of Bidco and Industrials which are, or may be deemed to be, "forward-looking statements" and which are prospective in nature. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current facts. These statements are based on assumptions and assessments made by Industrials and/or Bidco, in light of their experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, future developments and other factors they believe appropriate. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty, because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future and the factors described in the context of such forward-looking statements in this announcement could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Although it is believed that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given by Industrials and Bidco that such expectations will prove to have been correct and you are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward- looking statements which speak only as at the date of this announcement. Often, but not always, forward- looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as "plans", "goals", "hopes", "expects", "is expected", "envisages", "continue", "is subject to", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "predicts", "intends", "anticipates", "believes", "targets", "aims", "projects", "future-proofing" or words or terms of similar substance or the negative of such words or terms, as well as variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "should", "would", "might" or "will" (or words of similar meaning) be taken, occur or be achieved. Such statements are qualified in their entirety by the inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding future expectations. Forward-looking statements may include statements relating to the following: (i) future capital expenditures, expenses, revenues, earnings, synergies, economic performance, indebtedness, financial condition, dividend policy, losses and future prospects; (ii) business and management strategies and the expansion and growth of Bidco’s or any member of the Wider Bidco Group’s, Industrials’ or any member of the Wider Industrials Group’s operations; and (iii) the effects of global economic conditions and governmental regulation on Bidco’s, any member of the Wider Bidco Group’s, Industrials’ or any member of the Wider Industrials Group’s business. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect expected results and are based on certain key assumptions. Many factors may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Wider Bidco Group and/or the Wider Industrials Group to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These factors include changes in the global, political, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory forces, future exchange and interest rates, changes in tax rates and future business combinations or disposals. For a discussion of important factors which could cause actual results to differ from forward-looking statements in relation to the Industrials Group, refer to the Annual Report and the audited financial statements of the Industrials Group for the financial year ended 31 March 2022. Each of Bidco and the Industrials Group, and each of their respective members, directors, officers, employees, advisers and persons acting on their behalf expressly disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking or other statements contained in this announcement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. No member of the Wider Industrials Group, nor the Wider Bidco Group, nor any of their respective associates, directors, officers, employees or advisers provides any representation, assurance or guarantee that the occurrence of the events expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements in this announcement will actually occur. No member of the Wider Industrials Group, Blackstone, nor the Wider Bidco Group, nor any of their respective associates, directors, officers, employees or advisers assume any obligation and the Wider Industrials Group, Blackstone and the Wider Bidco Group disclaim any intention or obligation to update or correct the information contained in this announcement (whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise), except as required by applicable law or regulation (including under the Listing Rules and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the FCA). Except as expressly provided in this announcement, no forward-looking or other statements have been reviewed by the auditors of Industrials, Blackstone or the Wider Bidco Group or their respective financial advisers. All subsequent oral or written forward-looking statements attributable to Industrials or any member of the Wider Bidco Group, or any of their respective associates, directors, officers, employees or advisers, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statement above. No profit forecast, estimate or quantified benefits statements No statement in this announcement or incorporated by reference into this announcement is intended to constitute a profit forecast, profit estimate or quantified benefits statements for Industrials or Bidco for any period, nor should any statement in this announcement or incorporated by reference into this announcement be interpreted to mean that earnings or earnings per Industrials Share for the current or future financial years would necessarily match or exceed the historical published earnings or earnings per Industrials Share.

An Opening Position Disclosure must contain details of the person’s interests and short positions in, and rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree company and (ii) any securities exchange offeror(s).

A Dealing Disclosure must contain details of the dealing concerned and of the person’s interests and short positions in, and rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree company and (ii) any securities exchange offeror, save to the extent that these details have previously been disclosed under Rule 8 of the Takeover Code. A Dealing Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(b) of the Takeover Code applies must be made by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the business day following the date of the relevant dealing. If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire or control an interest in relevant securities of an offeree company or a securities exchange offeror, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3 of the Takeover Code.
