**1. Will anything change for me as a member?** 

Not at all. In fact, becoming a private company means we can focus even more on what you love — better events, beautiful spaces, more food and beverage choices, and an even warmer welcome whenever you visit.

**2. Does this mean membership prices will go up?** 

Becoming a private company doesn't change our approach to membership pricing. Any future updates to membership fees will always be communicated well in advance and will reflect more value to your membership — whether that's new Houses, refreshed spaces, new facilities such as Soho Health Clubs, or unique events and experiences you can't get anywhere else.

**3. What does going private mean for new Houses and events?** 

It gives us more freedom to invest in our existing Houses to make them the best they can be, and open new Houses in creative cities we know you'll love, while continuing to host the kind of events and experiences that make being a member feel special. We want to take the best of what we've built over the last few years and make it even better for members around the world.

**4. Does this mean you will accept less members from now on?** 

Being public or private has never changed our approach to accepting new members. We only accept members when we have capacity in our Houses.

**5. Is this happening because the company is struggling?** 

No. We've built a really strong business in recent years - operationally and financially - and our new partners believe deeply in the Soho House brand and our plans for the future. It will give us the opportunity to focus even more on what matters most; looking after our members and creating spaces you love to spend time in.

**6. Why go private now?** 

Going private will give us the control and flexibility to build on the strong position the company is in today; 46 Houses around the world, incredible member events and experiences, a positive trajectory of financial performance, and a back of house systems transformation that sets us up for long term operational success.

**7. I bought shares at $14 and you're selling at $9 - how can that be a good idea?** 

The management team has driven the growth and success of the business but that has not been reflected in the share price, which has been impacted by challenging economic conditions and global uncertainty. The offer price of $9 is at an 83% premium to the share price in December 2024 before we announced we had received a takeover offer, and the Board believes the offer gives certainty and fair value to shareholders in the business.

**8. I'm a shareholder - do I need to do anything? What happens next?** 

You don't need to do anything for the moment. The company will prepare a draft proxy, and once the proxy is approved by the SEC then the proposal will go to a shareholder vote at which point you will be able to vote. If the proposed 'take private' transaction is approved by a vote of the 'majority of the minority' of the company's shareholders - which includes all public shareholders, and excludes controlling shareholders and their affiliates - then all your shares in the company will be automatically purchased at the offer price of $9 per share.
