UPDATE ON ENGAGEMENTS IN RELATION TO A POSSIBLE MERGER BETWEEN ARROWHEAD AND FAIRVEST AND RENEWAL OF CAUTIONARY


Arrowhead shareholders are referred to the previous cautionary announcements in relation to the Company’s
engagements with Fairvest Property Holdings Limited (“Fairvest”), the most recent of which was published
on 28 July 2021.

The Company continues to positively engage with Fairvest in relation to a potential merger and therefore it
remains the Arrowhead independent board’s (“Independent Board”) view that agreement may be reached
between the parties on the way forward.

Arrowhead shareholders’ attention is drawn to the announcement released by Fairvest on 7 September 2021,
regarding the results of the general meeting of Fairvest shareholders (“General Meeting”), in terms of which
Fairvest shareholders have, inter alia, approved the acquisition by Fairvest of a controlling shareholding in
Arrowhead by way of an acquisition of certain Arrowhead B ordinary shares (“AHB Shares”) from certain
holders of AHB Shares, and that the acquisition of such AHB Shares would, if the acquisitions are
implemented, result in Fairvest acquiring control of the majority of the Arrowhead shares in issue (“Fairvest
Acquisition”).

In line with what has been communicated in the circular issued to Fairvest shareholders on 10 August 2021,
Fairvest continues to engage with Arrowhead regarding the possibility of proposing a single-step merger
subject to a shareholder approval process for both companies. If Arrowhead and Fairvest agree on the terms
of a single-step merger, they will work together on the appropriate process to obtain the required approvals.
However, a single-step merger may succeed or fail after the General Meeting, and accordingly, Fairvest has
proceeded to seek Fairvest shareholder approval for the Fairvest Acquisition, but will only implement this
transaction, once unconditional, if a single-step merger is not achieved by the long stop date (or by an agreed
extension to the long stop date) for any reason.

The Independent Board collectively and individually accepts responsibility for the information contained in
this announcement and certifies that, to the best of its knowledge and belief, the information contained in this
announcement relating to Arrowhead is true and this announcement does not omit anything that is likely to
affect the import of such information.

Arrowhead shareholders are therefore advised to continue to exercise caution when trading in their Arrowhead
shares until a further announcement is made.
