Andrews Sykes Group PLC

("Andrews Sykes" or the "Company")

Transaction in Own Shares

The Company announces that, on 30 November 2022, it re-purchased 26,314 ordinary shares of one pence each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at nominal value per Ordinary Share (the "Repurchase").

The Ordinary Shares the subject of the Repurchase were those of untraced shareholders, i.e. shareholders who had not claimed or cashed any dividend payments from the Company over a period of at least 12 years. The Repurchase, which was undertaken in accordance with the Company's Articles of Association, only took place after an extensive shareholder identification and share forfeit notification process by the Company.

The Repurchase equates to approximately 0.1 per cent. of the issued Ordinary Shares and was undertaken in accordance with the terms of the general authority to make market purchases of Ordinary Shares granted to the Company by its shareholders at its Annual General meeting on 14 June 2022. The Re-Purchase was executed on the London Stock Exchange through the Company's broker, Arden Partners.

The Ordinary Shares the subject of the Re-Purchase will be cancelled with immediate effect (the "Cancellation").

Following the Re-Purchase and the Cancellation, the number of issued Ordinary Shares with voting rights in the Company is 42,148,045. This figure represents the total voting rights in the Company and may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they can determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
