Statement regarding Blue Prism Group plc ("Blue Prism")

 

Further to the announcement made by Blue Prism on 31 August 2021 regarding possible offers for Blue Prism, TPG Capital, the private equity platform of alternative asset firm TPG, ("TPG") confirms that it does not intend to make an offer for Blue Prism.

(ii) following the announcement of a firm intention to make an offer for Blue Prism by or on behalf of a new third party;

 

(iii) following the announcement by Blue Prism of a "whitewash" proposal (as described in Note 1 of the Notes on Dispensations from Rule 9 of the Code) or a reverse takeover (as defined in the Code); or
