                     Update on conditional purchase of its own ordinary shares

On 1 July 2019, the Board of Raven announced that the Company had entered into conditional
agreements to purchase off-market up to 106,230,374 of its ordinary shares from two of its institutional
shareholders at a price of 36 pence in cash per ordinary share. The first agreement provided for the
purchase of 72,144,978 ordinary shares from Woodford Investment Management Limited (“WIM”) (acting
on behalf of certain underlying funds) and the second agreement comprised the purchase of a minimum
of 17,000,000 ordinary shares and not more than 34,08,396 ordinary shares from Invesco Asset
Management Limited (“IAML”) (acting as an agent for its underlying funds).

The Company can now confirm that, in accordance with the terms of the agreement with IAML, the
number of ordinary shares to be purchased from IAML has been fixed at the minimum amount, being
17,000,000 ordinary shares. As a result, the Company will be seeking authority from its ordinary
shareholders, preference shareholders and convertible preference shares to purchase 89,144,978 of its
ordinary shares, representing 14.8% of the Company’s current issued ordinary share capital.

The Company intends to cancel all of the ordinary shares acquired on completion of the transactions.

A further announcement will be made upon posting of the circulars (including notices of the meetings) to
ordinary shareholders, preference shareholders and convertible shareholders.
