Recommended Cash Offer

India Bidco Limited

(a company wholly-owned and controlled by The Resource Group International Limited)

for

IBEX Global Solutions Plc

Summary

-- The Independent Directors of IBEX and India Bidco are pleased to announce that they have reached agreement on the terms of a recommended cash offer by India Bidco, a company wholly-owned and controlled by the Company's largest Shareholder, The Resource Group International Limited, pursuant to which India Bidco will offer to acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of IBEX not already owned by India Bidco or persons acting in concert with it.

   --      Under the terms of the Offer, Shareholders will be offered: 
   for each IBEX Share:         112 pence in cash

-- The Offer values the existing issued share capital of IBEX at approximately GBP44.3 million, and represents a premium of:

o approximately 30 per cent. to the Closing Price of 86 pence per IBEX Share on 20 October 2016, being the last Business Day prior to the date of this Announcement; and

o 18 per cent. to the average Closing Price of 95 pence per IBEX Share over the six month period to 20 October 2016, being the last Business Day prior to the date of this Announcement.

-- The Independent Directors (being Joel Wyler, Gerard Kleisterlee and Bob Dechant), who have been so advised by Liberum, consider the terms of the Offer to be fair and reasonable. In providing advice to the Independent Directors, Liberum has taken into account the commercial assessments of the Independent Directors. Liberum is providing independent financial advice to the Independent Directors for the purpose of Rule 3 of the City Code.

-- Accordingly, the Independent Directors intend to recommend unanimously that Shareholders accept the Offer.

-- TRGI Group currently owns 28,075,676 IBEX Shares representing 70.98 per cent. of the issued share capital of IBEX (which IBEX Shares will not be subject to the Offer).

-- The Offer will be conditional upon, amongst other things, India Bidco receiving valid acceptances (which have not been withdrawn) in respect of, and/or having otherwise acquired IBEX Shares which, together with IBEX Shares in which the TRGI Group is already interested, carry more than 75 per cent. (or such lower percentage as India Bidco may, subject to the City Code, decide) of the voting rights then normally exercisable at general meetings of IBEX.

-- Following the Offer becoming or being declared unconditional in all respects, India Bidco intends to seek to cancel the admission of the IBEX Shares to trading on AIM as soon as possible thereafter. The Delisting will significantly reduce the liquidity and marketability of IBEX Shares.

-- Should India Bidco receive acceptances of 90 per cent. or more of the IBEX Shares to which the Offer relates and the voting rights attaching to those shares, it intends to invoke its rights to acquire compulsorily the remainder of the IBEX Shares and, thus, acquire 100 per cent. ownership of IBEX and its entire issued share capital.

The Offer will be subject to the Conditions and certain further terms of the Offer set out in Appendix I to this Announcement and to be set out in the Offer Document and the Form of Acceptance. Appendix II sets out the source and bases of certain financial and other information contained in this Announcement. Appendix III contains the definitions of certain terms used in this Announcement.

This summary should be read in conjunction with, and is subject to, the full text of this Announcement (including its Appendices).

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

21 October 2016

Recommended Cash Offer

India Bidco Limited

(a company wholly-owned and controlled by The Resource Group International Limited)

for

IBEX Global Solutions Plc

   1.       Introduction

The Independent Directors of IBEX and India Bidco are pleased to announce that they have reached agreement on the terms of a recommended cash offer to be made by India Bidco (a company wholly-owned and controlled by the Company's largest Shareholder, The Resource Group International Limited) to acquire the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of IBEX not already owned by India Bidco or persons acting in concert with it.

   2.       The Offer

Under the terms of the Offer, which will be subject to the Conditions and further terms set out in Appendix I to this Announcement and to be set out in the Offer Document and, in respect of IBEX Shares in certificated form, the Form of Acceptance, Shareholders shall be entitled to receive:

   for each IBEX Share:             112 pence in cash

The Offer values the existing issued share capital of IBEX at approximately GBP44.3 million, and represents a premium of:

-- approximately 30 per cent. to the Closing Price of 86 pence per IBEX Share on 20 October 2016, being the last Business Day prior to the date of this Announcement; and

-- 18 per cent. to the average Closing Price of 95 pence per IBEX Share over the six month period to 20 October 2016, being the last Business Day prior to the date of this Announcement.

The Offer will extend to all IBEX Shares unconditionally allotted or issued and fully paid on the date of the Offer and any IBEX Shares which are unconditionally allotted or issued and fully paid (including pursuant to the exercise of options under the IBEX Share Incentive Schemes) whilst the Offer remains open for acceptance or by such earlier date as India Bidco may, subject to the City Code, decide, not being earlier than the date on which the Offer becomes unconditional as to acceptances.

IBEX Shares acquired pursuant to the Offer will be acquired fully paid and free from all liens, charges, equitable interests, encumbrances, rights of pre-emption and any other rights and interests of any nature whatsoever and together with all rights attaching thereto as at and from the date of acquisition, including voting rights and the right to receive and retain in full all dividends and other distributions (if any) declared, made or paid on or after the date that the Offer becomes or is declared unconditional in all respects.

A condition of India Bidco announcing a firm intention to make the Offer was that Shareholders in receipt of the Offer Price (either by way of accepting the Offer or having their Shares compulsorily acquired by India Bidco pursuant to sections 974 to 991 of the 2006 Act) should not also receive any future dividends. The IBEX Board has therefore declared a final dividend and set out a final dividend timetable as set out in paragraph 7 below.

   3.         Recommendation

The Independent Directors, who have been so advised by Liberum, consider the terms of the Offer to be fair and reasonable. In providing advice to the Independent Directors, Liberum has taken into account the commercial assessments of the Independent Directors. Liberum is providing independent financial advice to the Independent Directors for the purpose of Rule 3 of the City Code.

Accordingly, the Independent Directors intend to recommend unanimously that Shareholders accept the Offer.

The Relationship Deed entered into between IBEX, TRGI, Liberum and Cenkos in connection with the original admission of the IBEX Shares to trading on AIM prevents India Bidco from acquiring an interest in IBEX Shares where such interest would mean that the aggregate interest of TRGI and its affiliates exceeds 75 per cent. of the issued share capital of IBEX. Accordingly, each of IBEX, India Bidco, TRGI, Liberum and Cenkos has entered into a deed of amendment in respect of the Relationship Deed which provides that India Bidco and the TRGI Group may acquire IBEX Shares in excess of such limit in connection with the Offer, including (subject to the City Code and the rules of the London Stock Exchange) by way of market or private purchases. The Relationship Deed terminates automatically on Delisting.

   4.         Information on India Bidco and TRGI

TRGI, which wholly-owns and controls India Bidco, is an investment holding company specialising in enterprise services, business process outsourcing and technology businesses. TRGI is incorporated in Bermuda and has a registered office in Hamilton, Bermuda.

The TRGI executive team has longstanding experience in assisting business process outsourcing companies such as IBEX in creating sustainable value over the longer term and TRGI believes it is well placed to assist IBEX as it continues to develop and execute its longer-term strategy.

TRGI's portfolio currently includes multiple companies around the globe, including IBEX, across the business process outsourcing sector. TRGI currently has an interest in 28,075,676 IBEX Shares, representing 70.98 per cent. of the issued share capital of IBEX (which IBEX Shares will not be subject to the Offer).

India Bidco is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TRGI, incorporated for the purposes of making the Offer.

Opus is acting as financial adviser to TRGI and India Bidco.

   5.         Information on IBEX

IBEX is a provider of contact centre services and other business process outsourcing solutions to enterprise customers. With its management team headquartered in Washington, DC, IBEX delivers onshore, near shore and offshore solutions in seven countries, across 20 call centres employing over 15,000 employees.

In the financial year ended 30 June 2016, IBEX achieved turnover of US$255.5m and profit before tax of US$7.1m.

Further information relating to IBEX will be contained in the Offer Document.

   6.         Current trading and prospects of IBEX

On 28 September 2016, the Company released its annual results for the financial year ended 30 June 2016, a copy of which can be found at www.ibexglobal.com. There has been no material change in the financial or operating condition of the Company since the release of the Company's annual results.

   7.         Dividends

In its annual results announcement, the IBEX Board announced its intention to pay a final dividend of 6.6 cents per IBEX Share, representing a total dividend for the year of 11.7 cents per IBEX Share and that the final dividend was to be declared ahead of the 2016 Annual General Meeting, and expected to be paid before the end of the calendar year, in line with previous periods. The IBEX Board hereby declares a final dividend of 6.6 cents per IBEX Share to be paid on 1 March 2017 to those IBEX Shareholders whose names appear on the register of members on 28 February 2017, subject to the approval of IBEX Shareholders at IBEX's forthcoming Annual General Meeting of IBEX (notice of which is expected to be sent to IBEX Shareholders shortly). IBEX Shareholders who accept the Offer (or whose IBEX Shares are otherwise compulsorily acquired by India Bidco pursuant to sections 974 to 991 of the 2006 Act) will, subject to the Offer becoming or being declared wholly unconditional, cease to be on the register of members on such record date and they will therefore not be entitled to receive the 6.6 cent final dividend now being declared by the IBEX Board.

TRGI has given IBEX an irrevocable undertaking to vote in favour of the resolution to approve the dividend at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting of IBEX.

   8.         Background to and reasons for the Offer

Since its IPO, IBEX has grown turnover, adjusted EBITDA, site numbers and employees strongly. However, the strength of the Company's growth has often led to extra demands for capital expenditure which has negatively impacted net income and net debt levels.

Since its admission to trading on AIM, the Company has had at least two profit warnings and negative trading updates, resulting in the price of IBEX Shares falling from 147 pence per IBEX Share at admission to a Closing Price of 86 pence per IBEX Share on 20 October 2016, being the Business Day immediately prior to the date of this Announcement.

It is the view of TRGI that as IBEX has not delivered on market expectations over the period since its admission to trading on AIM, the market has lost confidence in the ability of IBEX to deliver forecast numbers. TRGI considers that it is likely to take a long period of time, with the need for a substantial improvement in the financial results and positive trading updates, to rebuild the market's confidence in IBEX and for IBEX's share price to recover significantly.

TRGI sees clear potential in IBEX and believes in the strategy being employed by management to grow the business. As the Company remains in its growth phase, TRGI believes that the Company will continue to require additional capital expenditure, provided on a flexible basis, which if the Company remains on AIM will continue to depress the Company's share price. Accordingly, TRGI believes that IBEX's ability to achieve its future growth potential, both organic and inorganic, will be enhanced under its ownership and away from the public arena. TRGI believes that it will be an excellent partner for IBEX during the next phase of its development.

In addition, TRGI believes that the Offer presents an opportunity for Shareholders to realise a significant premium to the Closing Price per IBEX Share of 86 pence on 20 October 2016, being the Business Day immediately prior to the date of this Announcement. Given the concentration of shareholdings amongst a small number of Shareholders and the relative lack of liquidity in IBEX Shares, TRGI believes that the Offer presents an opportunity for Shareholders to crystallize cash value for their shareholdings which is not likely to be achieved in the short to medium term if IBEX were to remain independent and quoted on AIM.

TRGI believes that having an AIM quotation is of little benefit to IBEX and that it imposes significant financial and administrative costs, and constraints, on IBEX. Accordingly, it is making the Offer in order to give Shareholders the opportunity to realise a fair value for their IBEX Shares in cash.

   9.         Background to and reasons for the Recommendation

IBEX, which was originally a wholly-owned subsidiary of TRGI, was admitted to trading on AIM in June 2013. The purpose of the admission to AIM was to raise approximately GBP14.6m to provide liquidity for TRGI, pay down debt, fund the future growth of the business and provide incentives for existing and future staff. TRGI maintained an interest of approximately 75 per cent. of IBEX immediately after admission to trading on AIM.

Since its admission to trading on AIM, IBEX has grown its revenues from $184m for the financial year ending 30 June 2014 to US$255.5m for the financial year ending 30 June 2016, whilst over the same period adjusted earnings before interest, depreciation, tax and amortisation has grown from US$9.1m to US$17.9m. However, this growth has required higher levels of capital expenditure than anticipated at admission to AIM, which has led to a negative impact on earnings and net debt levels. The Company's trading performance has also fallen short of market expectations on a number of occasions over the period and the concentration of shareholders on the register has increased such that the free float of the Company's shares currently stands at approximately 12 per cent.

The consequence of this is that the market for trading in the IBEX Shares is extremely illiquid and the Company's share price is at a significant discount to that which the Independent Directors believe represents a fair valuation of IBEX. It is the Independent Directors' belief that it will take a considerable amount of time for market confidence to be restored such that Shareholders can benefit from market liquidity and an increase in the Company's share price to at or above the Offer Price.

TRGI approached the Company on 30 August 2016 with an indicative offer for IBEX Shares which was initially rejected. However the Independent Directors have since negotiated an Offer Price which represents a cash exit for Shareholders at a reasonable premium and a revised indicative offer of 112 pence per IBEX Share was presented by TRGI on 7 October 2016.

In reviewing the Offer, the Independent Directors have taken into account that the terms of the Offer represent a premium, in cash, equivalent to 31 per cent. to the Closing Price per IBEX Share on 29 August 2016 being the last Business Day prior to the TRGI approach to IBEX. The Independent Directors considered this premium against the fact that TRGI already owns approximately 71 per cent. of IBEX's existing share capital and, hence, has effective control. Whilst the Independent Directors acknowledge that TRGI chose to approach the Company to explore a liquidity option for Shareholders who do not wish to continue their ownership in a private company, they are also mindful that TRGI's effective control could likely bring about a cancellation of the Company's admission to trading on AIM without making an offer to minority shareholders if they wished to do so.

After due consideration, the Independent Directors have therefore concluded that the Offer to IBEX Shareholders, in the circumstances, offers an acceptable value and an opportunity to crystalize a premium to the current market price in cash.

Accordingly, the Independent Directors intend to recommend unanimously that Shareholders accept the Offer.

The Independent Directors are those of the IBEX Directors who are independent of TRGI, being all of the IBEX Directors other than Zia Chishti, who is the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of TRGI, Mohammed Khaishgi, who is the Chief Operating Officer of TRGI, Karl Gabel, who is a TRGI shareholder and who has held finance roles within several TRGI owned entities over several years, and John Leone, who is the Managing Director of PineBridge Investments, an investor in TRGI.

10. Cancellation of admission to AIM and compulsory acquisition of IBEX Shares held by minority Shareholders

Following the Offer becoming or being declared unconditional in all respects, India Bidco intends to seek to cancel the admission of IBEX Shares to trading on AIM as soon as possible thereafter.

Shareholders should note that the TRGI Group is interested in 28,075,676 IBEX Shares representing 70.98 per cent. of the issued share capital of IBEX.

In accordance with AIM Rule 41, IBEX hereby gives notice of the intended Delisting which, subject to the Offer becoming or being declared unconditional in all respects and subject to India Bidco receiving valid acceptances under the Offer in respect of, and/or having otherwise acquired, such number of IBEX Shares as would, together with the IBEX Shares in which the TRGI Group is already interested, result in the TRGI Group being interested in more than 75 per cent. of the issued share capital of IBEX, will take place at least five Business Days after the Offer becomes or is declared unconditional in all respects and no earlier than 7:00 a.m. on 18 November 2016. IBEX will provide further details of the Delisting timetable in due course although, for the avoidance of doubt, if the Conditions of the Offer are not met or waived Delisting will not take place.

The Delisting will significantly reduce the liquidity and marketability of IBEX Shares. It is also intended that, following the Offer becoming or being declared unconditional in all respects and, assuming the Delisting occurs, IBEX will be re-registered as a private company under the relevant provisions of the 2006 Act.

If India Bidco receives acceptances under the Offer in respect of, and/or otherwise acquires after the Offer is made 90 per cent. or more in value of the IBEX Shares to which the Offer relates and assuming that all of the other Conditions have been satisfied or waived (if capable of being waived), India Bidco intends to exercise its rights in accordance with sections 974 to 991 of the 2006 Act to acquire compulsorily the remaining IBEX Shares on the same terms as the Offer.

If the Offer becomes or is declared wholly unconditional and Delisting occurs, and if India Bidco does not receive sufficient acceptances under the Offer to entitle it compulsorily to acquire the remaining IBEX Shares, Shareholders who have not validly accepted the Offer will be shareholders in an unlisted company with no ready or liquid market for their IBEX Shares and no right for their IBEX Shares to be compulsorily acquired by India Bidco.

   11.      Conditions to the Offer

The Offer will be conditional upon:

PART 2: CERTAIN FURTHER TERMS OF THE OFFER

1. The Offer will lapse, and will not proceed, if there is a Phase II CMA Reference or if Phase 2 European Commission proceedings are initiated or if, following a referral of the Offer by the European Commission under Article 9(1) of the European Council Merger Regulation to a competent authority in the United Kingdom, there is a Phase II CMA Reference, in any such case before 1.00 p.m. on the First Closing Date or the time and date at which the Offer becomes, or is declared, unconditional (whichever is the later).

In such circumstances, the Offer will cease to become capable of further acceptance and accepting Shareholders and India Bidco shall cease to be bound by acceptances delivered on or before the date on which the Offer so lapses.

2. India Bidco reserves the right (subject to the requirements of the City Code and the Panel) to waive all or any of the Conditions in paragraphs (b) to (h) (inclusive) of Part 1, in whole or in part, at its absolute discretion.

3. India Bidco shall be under no obligation to waive or treat as fulfilled any of the Conditions in Part 1 by a date earlier than the latest date specified below for the fulfilment of them notwithstanding that the other Conditions may at such earlier date have been waived or fulfilled and that there are at such earlier date no circumstances indicating that any of such Conditions may not be capable of fulfilment.

4. At such time as the Condition in paragraph (a) of Part 1 has been satisfied, TRGI will declare the Offer unconditional in all respects unless it has at that time notified the Panel and IBEX of some fact or circumstance which entitles (or might reasonably be expected with further investigation to entitle) it to declare the Offer to have lapsed in reliance on some other Condition.

5. Except with the consent of the Panel, the Offer will lapse unless all Conditions to the Offer are fulfilled or (if capable of waiver) waived or, where appropriate, have been determined by India Bidco to have been or remain satisfied by midnight (London time) on the date which is 21 days after the later of the First Closing Date and the date on which the Offer becomes or is declared unconditional (or such later date (if any) as India Bidco may, with the consent of the Panel or in accordance with the City Code, decide).

6. The IBEX Shares will be acquired by India Bidco fully paid and free from all liens, charges, encumbrances, rights of pre-emption and any other third party rights of any nature whatsoever and together with all rights attaching to them as at the date of this Announcement or subsequently attaching or accruing to them, including, without limitation, voting rights and the right to receive and retain, in full, all dividends and other distributions (if any) declared, made or paid, or any other return of capital (whether by way of reduction of share capital or share premium account or otherwise) made on or after the date of this Announcement. Accordingly, insofar as a dividend and/or distribution and/or a return of capital is proposed, declared, made, paid or payable by IBEX in respect of an IBEX Share on or after the date of this Announcement, India Bidco reserves the right to reduce by the amount of the dividend and/or distribution and/or return of capital so received by Shareholders, the price payable under the Offer in respect of an IBEX Share, except insofar as the IBEX Share is or will be transferred pursuant to the Offer on a basis which entitles India Bidco alone to receive the dividend and/or distribution and/or return of capital but if that reduction in price has not been effected, the person to whom the Offer Price is paid in respect of that IBEX Share, will be obliged to account to India Bidco for the amount of such dividend and/or distribution and/or return of capital. If India Bidco exercises the right to reduce the Offer Price by all or part of the amount of a dividend (or other distribution) that is not paid, Shareholders on the relevant record date will be entitled to receive and retain that divided (or other distribution).

7. India Bidco reserves the right, subject to the prior consent of the Panel, to implement the Offer by way of a scheme of arrangement. In such event, the Offer will be implemented on the same terms, so far as applicable, as those which would apply under a contractual offer, subject to appropriate amendments to reflect the change in method of effecting the Offer.

8. Each of the Conditions shall be regarded as a separate condition and shall not be limited by reference to any other Condition.

9. The Conditions are inserted for the benefit of India Bidco and no Shareholder shall be entitled to waive any of the Conditions without the prior written consent of India Bidco.

10. In deciding whether or not to accept the Offer in respect of their IBEX Shares, Shareholders should rely on the information contained in, and follow the procedures described in, the Offer Document and (if they hold their IBEX Shares in certificated form) the Form of Acceptance which will be posted to Shareholders in due course (other than to any Shareholders with addresses in any Restricted Jurisdiction).
