The Existing Ordinary Shares are admitted to trading on AIM. Conditional upon completion of the Subscription, Placing and the Open Offer, application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that the New Ordinary Shares are expected to be admitted to AIM and to commence trading at 08.00 a.m. on 9 March 2023. The New Ordinary Shares will, on Admission, rank pari passu in all respects with the Existing Ordinary Shares and will rank in full for all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid on Ordinary Shares after Admission.

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. AIM securities are not admitted to the Official List of FCA. 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. The London Stock Exchange has not itself examined or approved the contents of this document. Prospective investors should read this document in its entirety.

The total consideration under the Open Offer will be less than €8 million (or an equivalent amount) in aggregate and the Subscription and Placing Shares will only be available to qualified investors for the purposes of the Prospectus Rules or otherwise in circumstances not resulting in an offer of transferable securities to the public under section 102B of FSMA. Therefore, in accordance with

section 85 and section 86 of FSMA, this document is not, and is not required to be, a prospectus for the purposes of the Prospectus Rules and has not been prepared in accordance with the Prospectus Rules. Accordingly, this document has not been, and will not be, reviewed or approved by the FCA, pursuant to sections 85 and 87 of FSMA, the London Stock Exchange or any other authority or regulatory body. In addition, this document does not constitute an admission document drawn up in accordance with the AIM Rules.

Your attention is drawn to the letter from the Chair of the Company which is set out in Part I of this document and which contains, amongst other things, the Directors' unanimous recommendation that you vote in favour of the Resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting.

The latest time and date for acceptance and payment in full under the Open Offer is 7 March 2023. The procedure for acceptance and payment is set out in Part IV of this document and, where relevant, in the Application Form.

Cenkos Securities plc ("Cenkos") and Numis Securities Limited ("Numis"), which are each authorised and regulated in the UK by the FCA, are acting for the Company in connection with the proposed Placing and Open Offer and will not be acting for any other person (including a recipient of this document) or otherwise be responsible to any person for providing the protections afforded to clients of Cenkos or Numis respectively or for advising any other person in respect of the proposed Placing and Open Offer or any transaction, matter or arrangement referred to in this document. Cenkos' responsibilities as the Company's Nominated Adviser and Joint Broker under the AIM Rules for Nominated Advisers are owed solely to the London Stock Exchange and are not owed to the Company or to any Director or to any other person in respect of their decision to acquire shares in the Company in reliance on any part of this document.

Apart from the responsibilities and liabilities, if any, which may be imposed on Cenkos and Numis by FSMA or the regulatory regime established thereunder, neither Cenkos nor Numis accept any responsibility whatsoever for the contents of this document, including its accuracy, completeness or verification or for any other statement made or purported to be made by it, or on its behalf, in connection with the Company, the Ordinary Shares or the Fundraising or the Admission. Cenkos and Numis accordingly disclaim all and any liability whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise (save as referred to above) in respect of this document or any such statement.

Notice of a General Meeting of Creo Medical Group plc, to be held at the offices of Osborne Clarke LLP at 2 Temple Back East, Temple Quay, Bristol BS1 6EG at 10.00 a.m. on 8 March 2023, is set out at the end of this document. To be valid, the accompanying Form of Proxy for use in connection with the General Meeting should be completed, signed and returned as soon as possible and, in any event, so as to reach the Company's registrars, Equiniti Limited, by not later than 10 a.m. on 6 March 2023 (or, if the General Meeting is adjourned, 48 hours (excluding any part of a day that is not a working day) before the time fixed for the adjourned meeting). Completion and return of Forms of Proxy will not preclude Shareholders from attending and voting at the General Meeting should they so wish.

Shareholders who hold their Existing Ordinary Shares in uncertificated form in CREST may alternatively use the CREST Proxy Voting Service in accordance with the procedures set out in the CREST Manual as explained in the notes accompanying the Notice of General Meeting at the end of this document. Proxies submitted via CREST must be received by the issuer's agent (ID RA19) by no later than 10.00 a.m. on 6 March 2023 (or, if the General Meeting is adjourned, 48 hours (excluding any part of a day that is not a working day) before the time fixed for the adjourned meeting). The appointment of a proxy using the CREST Proxy Voting Service will not preclude Shareholders from attending and voting in person at the General Meeting should they so wish.

Qualifying non-CREST Shareholders will find an Application Form accompanying this document. Qualifying CREST Shareholders (none of whom will receive an Application Form) will receive a credit to their stock accounts in CREST in respect of the Open Offer Entitlements which will be enabled for settlement on 20 February 2023. Applications under the Open Offer may only be made by the Qualifying Shareholder originally entitled or by a person entitled by virtue of a bona fide market claim arising out of a sale or transfer of Existing Ordinary Shares prior to the date on which the Existing Ordinary Shares were marked "ex-entitlement" by the London Stock Exchange. If the Open Offer Entitlements are for any reason not enabled by 3.00 p.m. on 2 March 2023 or such later time as the Company may decide on 2 March 2023, an Application Form will be sent to each

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and circumstances. Actual results and developments could differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements may and often do differ materially from actual results. Any forward- looking statements in this document are based on certain factors and assumptions, including the Directors' current view with respect to future events and are subject to risks relating to future events and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to the Group's operations, results of operations, growth strategy and liquidity. Whilst the Directors consider these assumptions to be reasonable based upon information currently available, they may prove to be incorrect. Save as required by law or by the AIM Rules, none of the Company, Cenkos, Numis nor their respective directors undertakes any obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to any forward- looking statements in this document that may occur due to any change in the Directors' expectations or to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this document.

Accordingly, subject to certain exemptions, the New Ordinary Shares may not be offered, sold, taken up, delivered or transferred in, into or from the United States, Australia, Canada, the Republic of South Africa, New Zealand, Republic of Ireland, Japan or any other jurisdiction where to do so would constitute a breach of local securities laws or regulations (each a "Restricted Jurisdiction") or to or for the account or benefit of any national, resident or citizen of a Restricted Jurisdiction.
