Publication of Circular

Tapir Holdings Ltd (AIM: TAPH; BSX: TAPH) ("Tapir" or the "Company"), a strategic investment holding company focused on medium to long term capital appreciation through investments in African real estate, land and urban development projects, currently anchored by a 10 per cent. equity stake in Rendeavour Holding Limited ("Rendeavour"), a leading investor in East and West African urban development projects, today announces that, as outlined in its unaudited interim results released on 3 September 2026 (the “Half Year Results”), it is undertaking an Open Offer to raise up to approximately £15,000,000 (before expenses) through the issue of up to 37,500,000 Open Offer Shares at an issue price of 40 pence per Open Offer Share (the "Issue Price").

The proceeds of the Open Offer will be used to finance further investments in accordance with the Company’s investing policy, which is outlined in the Circular to be published today and on the Company’s website, and to provide ongoing working capital including funds to repay in full the current short term related party unsecured loan facility between the Company and Moongate Holdings Group Limitedthe outstanding balance of $1,118,154.93 (equivalent to approximately £843,890.51).1

Qualifying Shareholders are being given the opportunity to (i) subscribe for their Basic Entitlement; and (ii) provided that they take up their Basic Entitlement in full, apply for Excess Entitlements through the Excess Application Facility on the basis of:

1 Open Offer Share for every 6.5911 Existing Shares

held by and registered in the names of Qualifying Shareholders at the Open Offer Record Date and Time on the terms and conditions to be set out in Part III of the Circular and, in the case of Qualifying Non-CREST Shareholders holding Existing Shares in certificated form, the Application Form.

Each Shareholder’s Basic Entitlement has been calculated on the basis of 1 Open Offer Share for every 6.5911 Existing Shares held at the Open Offer Record Date and Time. Valid applications for Excess Entitlements pursuant to the Excess Application Facility will be allocated at the Company’s discretion. No assurance can be given that the applications for Excess Entitlements through the Excess Application Facility by Qualifying Shareholders will be met in full or in part or at all. Excess monies in respect of applications which are not met in full will be returned to the applicant (at the applicant’s risk) without interest as soon as practicable thereafter by way of cheque or CREST payment, as appropriate.

Entitlements of Qualifying Shareholders will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Open Offer Shares. Fractional entitlements which would otherwise arise will not be issued to the Qualifying Shareholders but will be made available under the Excess Application Facility. Provided a Qualifying Shareholder has accepted its Basic Entitlement in full, Qualifying Shareholders will also have the opportunity to apply for further Open Offer Shares at the Issue Price in excess of their Basic Entitlement, such Open Offer Shares being Excess Entitlements, through the Excess Application Facility.

To the extent that Open Offer Shares remain available following the allocation of shares pursuant to the Basic Entitlements and the Excess Application Facility, the Company may, arrange for such shares to be subscribed for by new sophisticated investors. Any Open Offer Shares which are not subscribed for pursuant to the Subscription will be subscribed for by Lord Ashcroft pursuant to the Underwriting Commitment as described below.

The Issue Price represents a discount of approximately 9.09 per cent. to the closing mid-market price of 44 pence per Existing Share on the Latest Practicable Date.

Qualifying Shareholders who do not take up their Basic Entitlement in full will experience a dilution to their interests in Tapir of approximately 13.17 per cent. following the Admissions.

The Open Offer is only conditional upon the admission of the Open Offer Shares to trading on AIM and the BSX. It is expected that Admission will become effective and dealings in the Open Offer Shares on AIM will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 23 October 2026 and on the BSX at 9.00 a.m. Bermuda time on 23 October 2026.

As detailed in the Half Year Results, to provide certainty of funds, Lord Ashcroft has agreed pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Commitment Letter, to underwrite the Open Offer at the Issue Price up to a maximum aggregate value of approximately £15,000,000.

Pursuant to the Underwriting Commitment Letter, Lord Ashcroft has agreed to subscribe for any Open Offer Shares which remain unsubscribed following: (i) the take-up of Basic Entitlements by Qualifying Shareholders; (ii) the allocation of Excess Entitlements under the Excess Application Facility; and (iii) the Subscription, in each case at the Issue Price.

Lord Ashcroft is currently interested in 76.25 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company. Lord Ashcroft’s shareholding in the Company following the Open Offer will be dependent on the uptake of entitlements under the Open Offer by Shareholders and, in the event that Basic Entitlements and Excess Entitlements under the Open Offer are not fully subscribed, the number of new investors that subscribe for available allocations as outlined above. Therefore:

• in the event that the Open Offer is fully or over subscribed for by Shareholders, Lord Ashcroft would subscribe for his own Basic Entitlement and his shareholding following the Open Offer would remain the same, and any Excess Entitlements under the Excess Application Facility will be allocated at the Company’s discretion;
• in the event that the Open Offer is not fully subscribed for by Shareholders either through Basic Entitlements or the Excess Application Facility, but new sophisticated investors are procured for remaining share allocations, Lord Ashcroft would also subscribe for his own Basic Entitlement and his percentage shareholding in the Company following the completion of the Open Offer would remain the same;
• in the event that the Open Offer is not fully subscribed for by Shareholders either through Basic Entitlements or the Excess Application Facility, and new sophisticated investors are not procured for remaining share allocations, Lord Ashcroft would subscribe for his own Basic Entitlement and for the remaining share allocations under the Excess Application Facility, however, in these circumstances he will donate the Open Offer Shares subscribed for under the Excess Application Facility to a UK registered charity so that his percentage shareholding in the Company following the completion of the Open Offer would remain the same.

The Open Offer Shares will, when issued and fully paid, rank pari passu in all respects with the Existing Shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after the date of Admission.

The Open Offer is open for acceptance from now until 11.00 a.m. on 21 October 2026. The Open Offer's timetable of principal events is set out below in Appendix I.

Further details of the Open Offer will be set out in a Circular to be made available to Shareholders today. The Circular sets out the reasons for and further details of the Open Offer including its terms and conditions. Your attention is drawn to the risk factors set out in Part II of the Circular. Details of the actions to be taken if you wish to subscribe for Open Offer Shares are provided in Part III of the Circular.

To holders of Existing Shares

Dear Shareholder,

Underwritten Open Offer of up to 37,500,000 Shares at 40 pence per Open Offer Share

1. Introduction

Open Offer

On 3 September 2026, the Company announced its intention to raise approximately £15,000,000 by way of the Open Offer at an issue price of 40 pence per Open Offer Share (the “Issue Price”). The proceeds of the Open Offer will be used to finance further investments in accordance with the Company’s investment policy outlined below and to provide ongoing working capital including funds to repay in full the current short term related party unsecured loan facility between the Company and Moongate Holdings Group Limited, the outstanding balance of which on the Latest Practicable Date is $1,118,154.93 (equivalent to approximately £843,890.51).2

Qualifying Shareholders will therefore have the opportunity to subscribe for up to 37,500,000 Open Offer Shares at the Issue Price pro rata to their holdings of Existing Shares.

Whilst the Open Offer is underwritten and the gross proceeds expected to be received by the Company are fixed, provided a Qualifying Shareholder has accepted its Basic Entitlement in full, Qualifying Shareholders will also have the opportunity to apply for further Open Offer Shares at the Issue Price in excess of their Basic Entitlement, such Open Offer Shares being Excess Entitlements, through the Excess Application Facility. To the extent that the Open Offer is not fully subscribed for, the Company may seek subscribers for the outstanding Open Offer Shares as outlined below.

Each Shareholder’s Basic Entitlement has been calculated on the basis of 1 Open Offer Share for every 6.5911 Existing Shares held at the Open Offer Record Date and Time. Valid applications for Excess Entitlements pursuant to the Excess Application Facility will be allocated at the Company’s discretion. No assurance can be given that the applications for Excess Entitlements through the Excess Application Facility by Qualifying Shareholders will be met in full or in part or at all. Excess monies in respect of applications which are not met in full will be returned to the applicant (at the applicant’s risk) without interest as soon as practicable thereafter by way of cheque or CREST payment, as appropriate.

Qualifying Shareholders who do not take up their Basic Entitlement in full will experience a dilution to their interests in Tapir of approximately 13.17 per cent. following the Admissions.

Further details on the Open Offer can be found in paragraph 5 of this Part I and Part III of this document.

2.Foreign exchange rate of 1.3250 as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Subscription

To the extent that Open Offer Shares remain available following the allocation of shares pursuant to the Basic Entitlements and the Excess Application Facility, the Company may arrange for such shares to be subscribed for by new sophisticated investors. Any Open Offer Shares which are not subscribed for pursuant to the Subscription will be subscribed for by Lord Ashcroft pursuant to his Underwriting Commitment as described below.

Underwriting Commitment

To provide certainty of funds, Lord Ashcroft has agreed pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Commitment Letter, to underwrite the Open Offer at the Issue Price up to a maximum aggregate value of approximately £15,000,000.

Pursuant to the Underwriting Commitment Letter, Lord Ashcroft has agreed to subscribe for any Open Offer Shares which remain unsubscribed following: (i) the take-up of Basic Entitlements by Qualifying Shareholders; (ii) the allocation of Excess Entitlements under the Excess Application Facility; and (iii) the Subscription, in each case at the Issue Price.

Lord Ashcroft is currently interested in 76.25 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company. Lord Ashcroft’s shareholding in the Company following the Open Offer will be dependent on the uptake of entitlements under the Open Offer by Shareholders and, in the event that Basic Entitlements and Excess Entitlements under the Open Offer are not fully subscribed, the number of subscribers that subscribe for available allocations as outlined above. Therefore:

• in the event that the Open Offer is fully or over subscribed for by Shareholders, Lord Ashcroft would subscribe for his own Basic Entitlement and his shareholding following the Open Offer would remain the same, and any Excess Entitlements under the Excess Application Facility will be allocated at the Company’s discretion;
• in the event that the Open Offer is not fully subscribed for by Shareholders either through Basic Entitlements or the Excess Application Facility, but new sophisticated investors subscribe for remaining share allocations, Lord Ashcroft would also subscribe for his own Basic Entitlement and his percentage shareholding in the Company following the completion of the Open Offer would remain the same;
• in the event that the Open Offer is not fully subscribed for by Shareholders either through Basic Entitlements or the Excess Application Facility, and new sophisticated investors are not procured for remaining share allocations, Lord Ashcroft would subscribe for his own Basic Entitlement and for the remaining share allocations under the Excess Application Facility, however, in these circumstances he will donate the Open Offer Shares subscribed for under the Excess Application Facility to a UK registered charity so that his percentage shareholding in the Company following the completion of the Open Offer would remain the same.

Conditionality

The Open Offer is conditional upon the AIM Admission of the Open Offer Shares which is expected to happen at 8.00 a.m. on 23 October 2026 and the BSX Admission of the Open Offer Shares which is expected to happen at 9.00 a.m. Bermuda time on 23 October 2026 subject to regulatory approval.

The purpose of this document is to give you details of the Open Offer to enable Qualifying Shareholders to participate in the Open Offer and to ensure Shareholders have all relevant information.

Please read the contents of this document in their entirety.

1. About Tapir

Overview

The Company is a strategic investment holding company incorporated on 24 January 2024 as a company limited by shares in accordance with the laws of the British Virgin Islands with registered number 2140946. The Company’s registered office is at Craigmuir Chambers, Road Town, Tortola VG1110, British Virgin Islands and it is domiciled in the British Virgin Islands.

On 11 March 2024, the Company’s Shares were admitted for listing on the BSX (TPH.BH). On 11 March 2026, the Company announced the admission of its entire issued share capital consisting of 247,164,866 shares of nil par value to trading on AIM, a market operated by London Stock Exchange plc (TAPH). The Shares remain admitted to trading on the BSX, which is now the secondary listing with AIM as the primary listing for the shares.

The Company represents an opportunity to gain an exposure to its current sole investment Rendeavour, a leading investor in East and West African urban development projects, the overriding objective of such projects being to transform Africa’s urban future through well-planned developments to create the foundation for satellite cities that reverse the current trend of unplanned development and urban congestion in Africa, and provide economic opportunity and job creation.

The Company is focused on medium to long term capital appreciation through investments in African real estate, land and urban development projects, currently anchored by a 10 per cent. equity stake in Rendeavour.

It is anticipated that returns to Shareholders will be delivered primarily through an appreciation in the Company’s share price as it develops as a commercial holding company rather than through capital distributions via regular dividends. In addition, there may be opportunities to spin out businesses in the form of distributions in specie to shareholders or make sales of specific investments and therefore contemplate returns via special dividends.

Given the time frame to fully maximise the value of an investment, the Board expects that investments will be held for the medium to long term, although short-term disposals of assets cannot be ruled out in exceptional or opportunistic circumstances.

1. Reason for the Open Offer

Africa is experiencing one of the fastest rates of urbanisation globally, with its population projected to double by 2050 and over 60 per cent. expected to live in cities. This demographic shift is expected to drive increased demand for housing, infrastructure, and sustainable urban planning. The Board of Directors believe that this rapid expansion represents both a challenge and a significant investment opportunity, as most of Africa’s future cities will be built within the next three decades.

As noted above, the Company’s Investing Policy includes potential further investments in Rendeavour and also in other related and unrelated development projects or unquoted and quoted companies with suitable synergy across Africa. Additional capital raised would provide the Company with the resources to pursue such opportunities as they arise, including further investment in Rendeavour, as they become available. The Company will only review potential opportunities that have a clear strategic rationale and that are in line with the Company’s Investing Policy. Further details of the Company’s Investing Policy are set out on the Company’s website.

In addition, the capital raised will also be used to provide ongoing working capital including funds to repay in full the current short term related party unsecured loan facility between the Company and Moongate Holdings Group Limited, the outstanding balance of which on the Latest Practicable Date is $1,118,154.93 (approximately £843,890.51).3

3. Foreign exchange rate of 1.3250 as at the Latest Practicable Date.

1. Financial Outlook

The Company announced its interim results for the six month period ended 30 June 2026 on 3 September. During the six-month period, the Company continued to execute its core strategy as a strategic investment entity, focusing on expanding asset backing, strengthening capital reserves, and optimizing core holdings.

Total shareholders’ equity expanded to $269,961,948 as of 30 June 2026 (31 December 2025: $260,567,191), representing a $9.39 million (3.6 per cent.) net accretion in asset backing over the six-month period. The Company's net asset value per ordinary share increased to US$1.09 (GBP 0.82) as of 30 June 2026, compared to US$1.05 (GBP 0.78) as of 31 December 2025. Its capital reserves expanded by $11,804,530 following a favorable court ruling concerning Rendeavour, which resulted in the direct equity transfer from non-controlling interests into equity reserves.

The Company's total carrying value of the investment in associate (Rendeavour) reached $270,889,900 at 30 June 2026 (31 December 2025: $260,668,157), driven by operational performance, structural equity adjustments, and strategic share additions. The Company recognized $659,728 as its equity share of associate income for the period and recognized a loss of $1,158,917 in other comprehensive loss, representing the exchange differences on translation of foreign operations.

The Company maintained disciplined expense management during the six-month period ended 30 June 2026, incurring total operating expenses of $227,697 (including $144,331 in non-recurring AIM listing-related compliance costs) alongside $455 in interest income.

The primary driver of bottom-line accounting movements related to net valuation adjustments in the Company's core equity holding in Rendeavour. While the Company achieved a valuation uplift of $594,779 from purchasing additional associate shares at a discount, this was offset by a non-cash dilution adjustment resulting from an equity issuance at the associate level.

1. Description of the Open Offer

Provided a Qualifying Shareholder has accepted its Basic Entitlement in full, the Qualifying Shareholder may apply to acquire Excess Entitlements through the Excess Application Facility, should they wish to do so.

• Qualifying Non-CREST Shareholders (i.e. qualifying holders of Existing Shares who hold their shares in certificated form) wishing to apply for Excess Entitlements through the Excess Application Facility can do so by completing Boxes 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the Application Form.
• Qualifying CREST Shareholders (i.e. qualifying holders of Existing Shares who hold their shares in uncertificated form through CREST) will not receive an Application Form. Qualifying CREST Shareholders wishing to apply for Excess Entitlements through the Excess Application Facility may do so by sending a USE instruction in respect of Excess Entitlements as set out in paragraph 2(c) of Part III of this document.

The total number of Open Offer Shares is fixed and will not be increased in response to any applications for Excess Entitlements under the Excess Application Facility. The number of Open Offer Shares available under the Excess Application Facility will therefore be equal to the number of Open Offer Shares not subscribed for by Qualifying Shareholders pursuant to their Basic Entitlements. Valid applications for Excess Entitlements under the Excess Application Facility will be allocated at the Company’s discretion, and no assurance can be given that applications for Excess Entitlements by Qualifying Shareholders will be met in full or in part or at all. Excess monies in respect of applications which are not met in full will be returned to the applicant (at the applicant’s risk) without interest as soon as practicable thereafter by way of cheque or CREST payment, as appropriate.

Further information on the Open Offer, including the terms and conditions of the Open Offer and the procedure for acceptance and payment and the procedure in respect of Basic Entitlements not taken up are set out in Part III of this document.

Qualifying Shareholders should note that the Open Offer is not a rights issue and therefore the Open Offer Shares which are not applied for by Qualifying Shareholders will not be sold in the market for the benefit of the Qualifying Shareholders who do not apply under the Open Offer. The Application Form is not a Document of Title and cannot be traded or otherwise transferred.

1. Related Party Transactions

Lord Ashcroft is considered to be a related party of the Company for the purposes of Rule 13 of the AIM Rules.

The Underwriting Commitment constitutes a related party transaction for the purpose of the AIM Rules. The members of the Board who are independent of Lord Ashcroft, having consulted with the Company’s nominated adviser at the time this related party transaction is entered into, Panmure Liberum, consider that the terms of the Underwriting Commitment are fair and reasonable in so far as other Shareholders are concerned.

A description of the potential outcomes under the Open Offer can be found at paragraph 1, Underwriting Commitment, above.

1. Overseas Shareholders

Part III of this document contains information in relation to the Open Offer for Overseas Shareholders who have registered addresses outside the United Kingdom, or who are residents of or located in countries other than the United Kingdom.

Subject to certain exceptions, Shareholders who are resident or located in any one of the Excluded Jurisdictions will not be entitled to participate in the Open Offer and this document will not be posted to them.

1. Admissions, Settlement and CREST

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the Open Offer Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that AIM Admission will become effective at 8.00 a.m. on 23 October 2026.

Application will be made to the BSX for the Open Offer Shares to be admitted to trading on the BSX. It is expected that BSX Admission will become effective at 9.00 a.m. Bermuda time on 23 October 2026 subject to regulatory approval.

The Company has Depository Interests admitted in CREST. CREST is a computerised paperless share transfer and settlement system which allows shares and other securities to be held in electronic rather than paper form. The Existing Shares are already admitted to CREST and therefore the Open Offer Shares will also be eligible for settlement in CREST. CREST is a voluntary system and Shareholders who wish to retain certificates will be able to do so upon request. It is expected that Open Offer Shares due to uncertificated holders will be delivered in CREST as soon as practicable after 8.00 a.m. on 23 October 2026.

Yours faithfully,

Lord Ashcroft, KCMG PC

Non-Executive Chair
