Launch of RetailBook Offer as part of AIM IPO

 

Vista Parcs, a newly incorporated entity proposing to acquire on Admission a portfolio of 13 UK-based holiday and residential parks, comprising pitches occupied by manufactured homes, lodges and static caravans, as well as sites with significant planning potential, is pleased to announce the launch of a conditional retail offer of new ordinary shares in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") via RetailBook (the "RetailBook Offer").

 

For more information about the Company, its IPO and how to participate in the RetailBook Offer, please click https://app.retailbook.com/offers/vista.

 

Further information on Vista Parcs and its business is set out in the Admission Document expected to be published in due course. The Company is also conducting a placing of new Ordinary Shares to institutional investors (the "Institutional Offer") as announced in the Company's Schedule One which was released on 16 March 2026. For the avoidance of doubt, the RetailBook Offer is not part of the Institutional Offer.

The RetailBook Offer will not be completed without the Institutional Offer also being completed but the Institutional Offer is not conditional upon completion of the RetailBook Offer.

 

About Vista Parcs & background to the IPO

 

· Vista Parcs is a newly incorporated entity proposing to acquire on Admission a portfolio of 13 UK-based holiday and residential parks, comprising pitches occupied by manufactured homes, lodges and static caravans, as well as sites with planning potential.

· Vista Parcs is seeking benefit from structural market growth trends, supported by the UK's ageing population, an increase in staycations, and residential housing shortages.

· The Company is proposing to acquire 13 holiday and residential parks for consideration of £68.5 million, below Knight Frank LLP's independent valuation of approximately £80.45 million.

· The portfolio comprises 1,752 pitches with planning permission, of which 755 are occupied, as well as 922 additional pitches having been identified for future development. The portfolio generates multiple recurring income streams, including inflation-linked pitch fees and rental income, which are complemented by unit sales, and hire fleet operations. Additionally, the Company has near-term opportunities to grow capacity within the target sites.

· The Company is expected to be cash generative and intends to pay a dividend within its first year following Admission.

· Upon Admission, Vista Parcs' strategy will be to focus on accelerating unit sales across its sites, converting certain holiday units to higher-margin residential units and expanding its sales function.

· Vista Parcs will be led by a Board with significant sector experience, and chaired by David Boden, former CEO of Parkdean Resorts.

 

Please note, property valuations are inherently subjective and the market value may differ materially at any subsequent date.

Investors should make their own investigations into the merits of an investment in the Company. Nothing in this announcement amounts to a recommendation to invest in the Company or amounts to investment, taxation or legal advice.

 

It should be noted that a subscription for new Ordinary Shares and an investment in the Company carries a number of risks. Investors should take independent advice from a person experienced in advising on investments in securities such as the new Ordinary Shares if they are in any doubt.

 

AIM is a market designed primarily for emerging or smaller companies to which a higher investment risk tends to be attached than to larger or more established companies. A prospective investor should be aware of the risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after careful consideration and, if appropriate, consultation with an independent financial adviser.

 

An investment in the Company will place capital at risk. The value of your investment in the Company and any income from it is not guaranteed and can go down as well as up due to stock market and currency movements. If you sell your investment, you may get back less than the amount originally invested.

 

Neither past performance nor any forecasts should be considered a reliable indicator of future results.

 

This announcement should be read in its entirety. In particular, the information in the "Important Notices" section of this announcement below should be read and understood.
