Phoenix Group Holdings plc announces Indicative Results of Offers

Phoenix Group Holdings plc (the "Company") announces today the indicative results of its invitations made to eligible holders (the "Noteholders") of its outstanding £428,113,000 6.625 per cent. Subordinated Notes due 2025 (ISIN: XS1171593293) (the "Sterling Notes") and/or its U.S.$500,000,000 Fixed Rate Reset Tier 2 Notes due 2031 (ISIN: XS2182954797) (the "U.S.$ Notes" and, together with the Sterling Notes, the "Notes"), as described in the tender offer memorandum dated 27 November 2023 (the "Tender Offer Memorandum") (each such invitation an "Offer" and together the "Offers").

Capitalised terms used but not otherwise defined in this announcement shall have the meanings given to them in the Tender Offer Memorandum.

The Expiration Deadline for the Offers was 16:00 (London time) on 4 December 2023. Settlement is expected to take place on 7 December 2023.

The Company hereby announces, on a non-binding and indicative basis only, that it will accept for purchase in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions (including the satisfaction or waiver of the Financing Condition) set out in the Tender Offer Memorandum, validly tendered Notes for purchase pursuant to the Offers, in an aggregate principal amount of approximately £350,000,000 (equivalent). The Company further announces, on a non-binding and indicative basis only, the aggregate principal amount of each Series accepted for purchase (each a "Series Acceptance Amount") is expected to be as set out in the table below.

*In line with the approach specified in the Tender Offer Memorandum, where Tender and Priority Acceptance Instructions related to a greater principal amount of Notes (on an aggregate basis taking into account tenders for such Noteholder of both the Sterling Notes and the U.S.$ Notes) than the principal amount of New Notes (converted in whole or in part into U.S.$ at the U.S.$ FX Rate and rounded down to the nearest U.S.$1,000, if applicable) it subscribed for and was allocated, the Company has, in its sole discretion, deemed the relevant Tender and Priority Acceptance Instruction or Tender and Priority Acceptance Instructions to be (A) Tender and Priority Acceptance Instruction(s) for only the principal amount of Notes in respect of which the relevant Noteholder has obtained Priority Acceptance and (B) Tender Only Instruction(s) for the additional Notes the relevant Noteholder wishes to tender for purchase in excess of such Priority Acceptance Amount, applying such approach to a Noteholder(s) Tender Instructions in a manner that is determined in the Company's sole discretion.

Pricing for the Offer for the Sterling Notes will take place at or around 11.00 a.m. (London time) today (the "Pricing Time").

The Company will announce the final results of the Offers as soon as reasonably practicable after the Pricing Time. Such announcement will specify whether the Company will accept (subject to satisfaction or waiver of the Financing Condition) valid tenders of Notes for purchase pursuant to either or both the Offers and, if so accepted, (i) the Benchmark Security Rate, the Purchase Yield and the Purchase Price for the Sterling Notes accepted for purchase (if applicable), (ii) the Series Acceptance Amount in respect of each Series; and (iii) details of any pro rata scaling in respect of each Series.

Subject to the satisfaction (or wavier) of the Financing Condition, the Settlement Date for the Offers which is expected to be 7 December 2023.
