Rationale for sales

The rationale for the sales is to fund options exercised during the year (which
includes the subscription price and the related income tax thereon), to service debt
related to their holdings and to fund capital gains tax payable on the sold shares.

Charles was a net buyer of Purple Group shares during the year and Gary’s net
holdings have remained unchanged, as shown in the table below.

Sale to daughter                        (250 000)             -
Sale by wife                            (50 000)              -
Closing Holdings 31 August 2022         33 067 157            19 702 197

Major shareholders are supportive of the sales and understand the rationale as
detailed above. 11 million of the sale shares were placed with a single buyer.

“We fully support the sale of shares. Management is incentivised and aligned with
shareholders, in the creation of long-term value and are more committed than ever
to driving the Group’s growth plans” says, Paul Rutherford from Base Capital, a
significant shareholder in Purple Group.
