   RECOMMED CASH OFFER 
 
   for 
 
   G4S PLC 
 
   by 
 
   ATLAS UK BIDCO LIMITED 
 
   (a newly incorporated entity that is indirectly controlled by Allied 
Universal) 
 
   COMPULSORY ACQUISITION OF G4S SHARES 
 
   1.                  Introduction 
 
   On 6 April 2021, Atlas UK Bidco Limited ("Allied Bidco"), a newly 
incorporated entity that is indirectly controlled by Allied Universal 
Topco LLC, announced that its recommended cash offer (the "Offer") for 
G4S plc ("G4S" or the "Company") had become unconditional in all 
respects. 
 
   Allied Bidco is pleased to announce that as at 1.00 p.m. (London time) 
on 12 April 2021, it had received valid acceptances under the Offer in 
respect of a total of 1,410,398,516 G4S Shares representing 
approximately 90.25 per cent. of the existing issued ordinary share 
capital of G4S. 
 
   2.                  Compulsory acquisition 
 
   As Allied Bidco has now received acceptances under the Offer in respect 
of, and/or otherwise acquired, not less than 90 per cent. in value of 
the G4S Shares to which the Offer relates and of the voting rights 
carried by those shares, Allied Bidco will exercise its rights in 
accordance with sections 974 to 991 of the Act to acquire compulsorily 
the remaining G4S Shares in respect of which the Offer has not been 
accepted as contemplated by the Offer Document. 
 
   Allied Bidco will shortly despatch formal compulsory acquisition notices 
under sections 979 and 980 of the Act (the "Compulsory Acquisition 
Notices") to G4S Shareholders who have not yet accepted the Offer. These 
notices will set out Allied Bidco's intention to apply the provisions of 
section 979 of the Act to acquire compulsorily any remaining G4S Shares 
in respect of which the Offer has not been accepted on the same terms as 
the Offer. 
 
   On the expiry of six weeks from the date of the Compulsory Acquisition 
Notices, the G4S Shares held by those G4S Shareholders who have not 
accepted the Offer will be acquired compulsorily by Allied Bidco on the 
same terms as the Offer. The consideration to which those G4S 
Shareholders will be entitled will be held by G4S as trustee on behalf 
of those G4S Shareholders who have not accepted the Offer. 
 
   3.                  Procedure for acceptance of the Offer 
 
   G4S Shareholders may still accept the Offer, which remains open for 
acceptance until further notice. As mentioned below, settlement of 
consideration to which any accepting G4S Shareholder is entitled under 
the Offer shall be effected by the issue of cheques or CREST payments 
within 14 days of receipt of the valid acceptance, whereas G4S 
Shareholders who have not accepted the Offer will be subject to the 
compulsory acquisition process which is expected to take a minimum of 
six weeks. 
 
   G4S Shareholders who have not yet accepted the Offer are urged to do so 
as soon as possible in accordance with the following procedures: 
 
 
   1. If you hold your G4S Shares in certificated form (that is, not in CREST), 
      you should complete and return the Form of Acceptance accompanying the 
      Offer Document as soon as possible. 
 
   2. If you hold your G4S Shares in uncertificated form (that is, in CREST), 
      you should ensure that an Electronic Acceptance is made by you or on your 
      behalf and that the TTE instruction settles as soon as possible. If you 
      hold your G4S Shares as a CREST sponsored member, you should contact your 
      CREST sponsor as only your CREST sponsor will be able to send the 
      necessary TTE instruction to Euroclear. 
 
   3. G4S ADR Holders who wish to participate in the Offer should contact their 
      Depositary. 
 
   4. G4S VP Holders who wish to participate in the Offer should contact Danske 
      Bank. 
 
 
   Full details on how to accept the Offer are set out in paragraph 16 of 
Part II of the Offer Document and Parts D and E of Appendix 1 of the 
Offer Document. The Offer Document is available on Allied Universal's 
website (

Offer Document and the Form of Acceptance may be obtained by contacting 
Link Group on 0371 664 0321. 
 
   4.                  Settlement 
 
   While the Offer remains open for acceptance, settlement of consideration 
to which any accepting G4S Shareholder is entitled under the Offer shall 
be effected by the issue of cheques or CREST payments within 14 days of 
the date of receipt of such acceptance which is valid and complete in 
all respects. 
 
   Non-assenting G4S Shareholders who do not accept the Offer will not 
receive payment until after compulsory acquisition has been implemented. 
 
   5.                  Other 
 
   5.1              Unless the context otherwise requires and save to the 
extent superseded in this announcement, the definitions and rules of 
interpretation used in the offer document published by Allied Bidco on 5 
January 2021 (the "Offer Document") shall also apply in this 
announcement. 
 
   The percentages of G4S Shares referred to in this announcement are based 
upon a figure of 1,562,715,442 G4S Shares in issue as at close of 
business in London on 12 April 2021. 
 
   G4S Shareholders with any questions relating to this announcement or the 
completion and return of the Form of Acceptance or the making of an 
Electronic Acceptance (as the case may be) should telephone the Link 
Group on 0371 664 0321 or, if calling from outside the United Kingdom, 
+44 (0) 371 664 0321. Calls are charged at the standard geographic rate 
and will vary by provider. The helpline is open between 9.00 am -- 5.30 
pm, Monday to Friday excluding public holidays in England and Wales. 
Please note that Link Group cannot provide any financial, legal or tax 
advice and calls may be recorded and monitored for security and training 
purposes. 
 
   G4S has its primary listing on the London Stock Exchange (until at least 
5 May 2021) and has a secondary listing on the Nasdaq exchange in 
Copenhagen. On 19 March 2021, Nasdaq approved the removal from trading 
of G4S's shares from Nasdaq Copenhagen A/S ("Nasdaq") and official 
listing. The last day of trading on Nasdaq will be 16 April 2021.

   Further information 
 
   This announcement is not intended to and does not constitute, or form 
part of, an offer, invitation or the solicitation of an offer to 
purchase, otherwise acquire, subscribe for, sell or otherwise dispose of 
any securities or the solicitation of any vote or approval in any 
jurisdiction pursuant to the Offer or otherwise nor shall there be any 
sale, issuance or transfer of securities of G4S pursuant to the Offer in 
any jurisdiction in contravention of applicable laws. The Offer is being 
implemented solely pursuant to the terms of the Offer Document and, in 
respect of G4S Shares held in certificated form, the Form of Acceptance, 
which, together, contain the full terms and conditions of the Offer, 
including details of how to accept the Offer. Any decision by G4S 
Shareholders in respect of, or other response to, the Offer should be 
made only on the basis of the information contained in the Offer 
Document and, in respect of G4S Shares held in certificated form, the 
Form of Acceptance. G4S Shareholders are advised to read the Offer 
Document and the Form of Acceptance carefully because they contain 
important information in relation to the Offer. 
 
   Information relating to G4S Shareholders 
 
   Please be aware that addresses, electronic addresses and certain other 
information provided by G4S Shareholders, persons with information 
rights and other relevant persons for the receipt of communications from 
G4S may be provided to Allied Bidco during the Offer Period as required 
under Section 4 of Appendix 4 of the City Code to comply with Rule 2.11. 
 
   Additional information for US G4S Shareholders and G4S ADR Holders 
 
   The Offer is being made to G4S Shareholders resident in the United 
States in reliance on, and compliance with, Section 14(e) of the US 
Exchange Act, and Regulation 14E thereunder, as a "Tier II" tender offer 
(as set forth in Rule 14d-1(d) under the US Exchange Act) and otherwise 
in accordance with the requirements of the City Code. The Offer is being 
made in the United States by Allied Bidco and no one else. 
 
   The Offer relates to the shares of a United Kingdom incorporated company 
and is subject to United Kingdom disclosure and other procedural 
requirements, which are different from certain United States disclosure 
and procedural requirements. 
 
   Furthermore, the payment and settlement procedure with respect to the 
Offer will comply with the relevant United Kingdom rules, which differ 
from US payment and settlement procedures, particularly with regard to 
the date of payment of consideration. 
 
   The Offer is being made in compliance with all applicable laws and 
regulations, including, to the extent applicable, Section 14(e) of the 
US Exchange Act and Regulation 14E thereunder as a "Tier II" tender 
offer (as set forth in Rule 14d-1(d) under the US Exchange Act) and 
otherwise in accordance with the requirements of the City Code. In 
accordance with normal United Kingdom practice and consistent with Rule 
14e-5(b) under the US Exchange Act, Allied Bidco, certain affiliated 
companies and their nominees or brokers (acting as agents) may make 
certain purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, shares in G4S other 
than pursuant to the Offer, during the period in which the Offer would 
remain open for acceptance (or, if the Offer is implemented by way of a 
Scheme, until the date on which the Scheme becomes effective, lapses or 
is otherwise withdrawn). If such purchases or arrangements to purchase 
were to be made, they would be made outside the United States either in 
the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at 
negotiated prices and would comply with applicable law, including, to 
the extent applicable, the US Exchange Act. Any information about such 
purchases will be disclosed as required in the UK, will be reported to a 
Regulatory Information Service and will be available on the London Stock 
Exchange website at www.londonstockexchange.com. 
 
   Certain financial information included in this announcement and the 
Offer Document has been prepared in accordance with accounting standards 
applicable in the United Kingdom, and may not be comparable to financial 
information of United States companies or companies whose financial 
statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles in the United States. 
 
   The receipt of consideration by a US G4S Shareholder or a G4S ADR Holder 
for the transfer of its G4S Shares or its G4S ADRs, as applicable, 
pursuant to the Offer may be a taxable transaction for United States 
federal income tax purposes and under applicable United States state and 
local, as well as non-US and other, tax laws. Each G4S Shareholder and 
G4S ADR Holder is urged to consult their independent professional 
adviser immediately regarding the tax consequences of the Offer, and 
acceptance of the Offer, applicable to them, including under applicable 
United States federal, state and local, as well as non-US and other, tax 
laws. 
 
   It may be difficult for US G4S Shareholders or G4S ADR Holders to 
enforce their rights and claims arising out of the US federal securities 
laws, since G4S is organised under the laws of England and Wales, and 
some or all of its officers and directors are residents of countries 
other than the United States. It may not be possible to sue a non-US 
company or its directors, officers or affiliates, in a non-US court for 
violations of US securities laws. It may be difficult to compel a non-US 
company and its directors, officers and affiliates to subject themselves 
to the jurisdiction and judgment of a United States court. 
 
   Neither the US Securities and Exchange Commission nor any United States 
state securities commission has approved or disapproved the Offer, or 
passed upon the fairness of the Offer or passed upon the adequacy or 
accuracy of this document. Any representation to the contrary is a 
criminal offence in the United States. 
 
   Additional Information for Danish G4S Shareholders and G4S VP Holders 
 
   This document does not constitute an offer document under Danish 
securities laws and consequently is not required to be nor has been 
filed with or approved by the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority as 
this document has not been prepared in the context of a public takeover 
offer in Denmark within the meaning of the Danish Capital Markets Act or 
any executive orders issued pursuant thereto. 
 
   Overseas jurisdictions 
 
   The release, publication or distribution of this announcement in or into 
jurisdictions other than the United Kingdom may be restricted by law and 
therefore any persons who are subject to the laws of any jurisdiction 
other than the United Kingdom should inform themselves about, and 
observe, any applicable requirements. In particular, the ability of 
persons who are not resident in the United Kingdom to accept the Offer 
or to execute and deliver the Form of Acceptance, may be affected by the 
laws of the relevant jurisdictions in which they are located. Any 
failure to comply with the applicable restrictions may constitute a 
violation of the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. To the 
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the companies and persons 
involved in the Offer disclaim any responsibility or liability for the 
violation of such restrictions by any person. 
 
   This announcement has been prepared for the purpose of complying with 
English law and the City Code and the information disclosed may not be 
the same as that which would have been disclosed if this announcement 
had been prepared in accordance with the laws of jurisdictions outside 
the United Kingdom. 
 
   Unless otherwise determined by Allied Universal or required by the City 
Code, and permitted by applicable law and regulation, the Offer is not 
being made available, directly or indirectly, in, into or from a 
Restricted Jurisdiction or any other jurisdiction where to do so would 
violate the laws in that jurisdiction and no person may accept the Offer 
by any use, means or instrumentality (including, but not limited to, 
facsimile, e-mail or other electronic transmission, telex or telephone) 
of interstate or foreign commerce of, or of any facility of a national, 
state or other securities exchange of any Restricted Jurisdiction 
including the United States or any other jurisdiction where to do so 
would constitute a violation of the laws of that jurisdiction and the 
Offer may not be capable of acceptance by any such use, means, 
instrumentality or facilities. Accordingly, copies of this announcement 
and any formal documentation relating to the Offer are not being, and 
must not be, directly or indirectly, mailed or otherwise forwarded, 
distributed or sent in or into or from any Restricted Jurisdiction or 
any other jurisdiction where to do so would constitute a violation of 
the laws of that jurisdiction and persons receiving such documents 
(including custodians, nominees and trustees) must not mail or otherwise 
forward, distribute or send them in or into or from any Restricted 
Jurisdiction or any other jurisdiction where to do so would constitute a 
violation of the laws of that jurisdiction. 
 
   The availability of the Offer to G4S Shareholders who are not resident 
in and citizens of the United Kingdom may be affected by the laws of the 
relevant jurisdictions in which they are located or of which they are 
citizens. Persons who are not resident in the United Kingdom should 
inform themselves of, and observe, any applicable legal or regulatory 
requirements of their jurisdictions. 
 
   Further details in relation to G4S Shareholders in overseas 
jurisdictions are contained in the Offer Document. 
 
   Cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements 
 
   This announcement (including information incorporated by reference in 
the announcement), oral statements made regarding the Offer, and other 
information published by Allied Universal or Allied Bidco contains 
certain forward looking statements with respect to the financial 
condition, results of operations and businesses of Allied Universal and 
G4S and their respective groups, and certain plans and objectives of 
Allied Universal with respect to the Enlarged Group. All statements 
other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, 
forward looking statements. Forward looking statements are statements of 
future expectations which are prospective in nature and are not based on 
historical facts, but rather on management's current expectations, 
projections and assumptions and involve known and unknown risks and 
uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or events to 
differ materially from those expressed or implied in these statements. 
Forward looking statements include, among other things, statements 
concerning the potential exposure of Allied Universal, the Allied 
Universal Group, G4S and/or the G4S Group to market risks and statements 
expressing management's expectations, beliefs, estimates, forecasts, 
projections and assumptions, including as to future potential cost 
savings, synergies, earnings, cash flow, return on average capital 
employed, production, divestitures and prospects. Often, but not always, 
these forward looking statements are identified by their use of terms 
and phrases such as "anticipate" or "does not anticipate", "believe", 
"estimate", "forecast", "expect" or "does not expect", "is expected", 
"is subject to", "goals", "intend", "objectives", "outlook", "plan", 
"budget", "scheduled", "probably", "project", "risks", "seek", "target" 
or variations of such words and phrases and statements that certain 
actions, events or results "may", "could", "should", "would", "might" or 
"will" be taken, occur or be achieved. 
 
   There are a number of factors that could affect the future operations of 
Allied Universal, the Allied Universal Group, G4S and/or the G4S Group 
and that could cause results and developments to differ materially from 
those expressed or implied in the forward looking statements included in 
this announcement, including (without limitation): (a) changes in demand 
for Allied Universal's and/or G4S's products; (b) currency fluctuations; 
(c) loss of market share and industry competition; (d) risks associated 
with the identification of suitable properties, acquirors and targets, 
and successful negotiation and completion of such transactions; (e) 
changes in macroeconomic or trading conditions; (f) the impact of 
COVID-19; and (g) changes in government and regulation including in 
relation to health and safety. Other unknown or unpredictable factors 
could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the 
forward looking statements. Such forward looking statements should 
therefore be construed in the light of such factors. 
 
   All forward looking statements contained in this announcement are 
expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements 
contained or referred to in this section. Although Allied Universal and 
Allied Bidco believe that the expectations reflected in such forward 
looking statements are reasonable, Allied Universal, Allied Bidco and 
their respective associates, directors, officers and advisers provide no 
representation, assurance or guarantee that the occurrence of the events 
expressed or implied in any forward looking statements in this 
announcement will actually occur. Readers should not place undue 
reliance on forward looking statements. 
 
   Each forward looking statement speaks only as of the date of this 
announcement. None of Allied Universal, Allied Bidco or the Allied 
Universal Group undertakes any obligation, and expressly disclaims any 
intention or obligation, to publicly update or revise any forward 
looking statement as a result of new information, future events or 
otherwise, except to the extent legally required (including under the 
United Kingdom Listing Rules and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules 
of the FCA). In light of these risks, results could differ materially 
from those stated, implied or inferred from the forward looking 
statements contained in this announcement. 
 
   No forecasts or estimates 
 
   No statement in this announcement is intended as a profit forecast, 
profit estimate or quantified financial benefits statement for any 
period and no statement in this announcement should be interpreted to 
mean that cash flow from operations, free cash flow, earnings or 
earnings per share for Allied Universal, Allied Bidco, G4S or the 
Enlarged Group, as appropriate, for the current or future financial 
years would necessarily match or exceed the respective historical 
published cash flow from operations, free cash flow, earnings or 
earnings per share for Allied Universal, Allied Bidco or G4S as 
appropriate or to mean that the Enlarged Group's earnings in the first 
12 months following the Offer, or in any subsequent period, would 
necessarily match or be greater than those of Allied Bidco or G4S for 
the relevant preceding financial period or any other period.
