Acacia Pharma to Postpone Publication of its Results for the Full Year 2021, Scheduled on 31 March 2022

THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONTAINS REGULATED INFORMATION

Not for release, publication or distribution, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly in, into or
from any jurisdiction where to do so would constitute a violation of the relevant laws of such
jurisdiction

For immediate release

30 March 2022, 6:00 p.m. (Brussels time)

Cambridge, UK and Indianapolis, US – Acacia Pharma Group plc (“Acacia Pharma” or the “Company”) (EURONEXT: ACPH), announces that it will not publish its results for the full year to end December 2021 on 31 March 2022 as originally scheduled.

This comes as a result of the changes in regulatory requirements following Brexit. The Company is required under Belgian law to have its accounts audited by either an EU audit firm or a third country audit firm registered in Belgium. Following Brexit, the Company’s statutory auditor PwC UK ceased to be an EU audit firm on 30 June 2021.

The Company has been informed that there is currently no legal mechanism for PwC UK to register as a third country audit firm in Belgium; the Company is therefore required to also have its accounts audited by PwC Belgium. A new date for the publication of its results will be set and these will be released before the end of April 2022 as required under the applicable rules.
