The directors present the strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2025.

The principal activity of the company is that of a holding and financing company.

The statement of financial position shows that the net carrying value of the Company’s net assets at the year-end was £304,643k (2024: net assets of £294,235k).

The company made a profit in the year of £10,408k (2024: £10,652k), due to the interest receivable on loans provided to Group companies.

The Company is directly exposed to the risks associated with the hotel industry as follows:

a. Treasury operations

The company has no borrowings and so its principal instruments are cash balances. In addition, the company has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade debtors and trade creditors arising directly from the operations of the business.

b. Liquidity risk

The company manages its cash requirements at a group level to maximise interest income and minimise interest expense, whilst ensuring that the company has sufficient liquid resources to meet the operating needs of its business.

c. Interest rate risk

The company is exposed to fair value interest rate risk on its bank overdraft facility only.

d. Foreign currency risk

At the year-end, there were no commitments to forward purchase any foreign currency. The Directors do not believe there is any significant foreign exchange risk.

e. Credit risk

Investments of cash surpluses are made with the company’s main bankers. Receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis and provision is made for doubtful debts where necessary.

The directors expect the Company to continue operating as a holding company in 2026 and do not expect a significant change in business performance.

The directors of the Company must act in a way they consider, in good faith, would most likely promote the success of the Company for the benefits of its members as a whole, and in doing so have regard (amongst other matters) to:

• the likely consequences of any decision in the long term;

• the interests of the Company’s employees;

• the need to foster the Company’s business relationships with customers and others;

• the impact of the Company’s operations on the community and the environment;

• the desirability of the Company maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct; and

• the need to act fairly as between members of the Company.

The Board considers that it has complied in all material respects set out in Section 172(1) (a-f). The following paragraphs summarise how the directors fulfil their duties:

• The Directors fulfil their duties by engaging regularly with key stakeholders such as group and/or parent entities with open communication and periodic meetings held to ensure all issues and/or decisions are being taken in line with the Company’s values and objectives – future forecasts are presented and discussed to ensure decisions which have long term implications are considered and agreed;

• The Directors and Senior management team recognise that a dynamic and motivated workforce is key to delivering against the future growth strategy of the business, and in this regard employee participation is critical. The Company ensures that the wellbeing of employees is being considered throughout the year.

• The Directors ensure that a culture of transparency and collaboration is taken, both when engaging with key stakeholders and with employees across the Company – meetings are held with the Senior Leadership team regularly whereby the key messages for the Company are then communicated throughout the various teams. Supplier and customer perspectives are also included in these meetings to ensure that these relationships are upheld and satisfaction is met;

• The Directors consider that the Company’s reputation is critical when it is in relation to business conduct and actions taken through the year – by ensuring close and open communication with the Senior Leadership team, the directors employ a frequent check on business standards, updates and developments to enable high standards of business conduct, and that no material issues arise in this regard.

• The Company culture also includes a focus on building and maintaining relationships with key suppliers and customers, whose support is paramount to the ongoing success of the business. Key suppliers are kept up to date with business developments and offered opportunities as they arise for continued and growing business. Key customers have built a strong relationship with the Company which allows for a joint beneficial relationship with increased business and a common trust on the level of service provided.

• The Company engages with employees on an ongoing basis to ensure sufficient training, development and promotion opportunities are being presented to them. Open communication channels within the Company allow for employees to excel in specific areas which they are strongest/most interested in – for example there are various management programmes which seek to develop high potential candidates into future leaders.

On behalf of the board

The directors present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.

The results for the year are set out on page 9.

No ordinary dividends were paid. The directors do not recommend payment of a final dividend.

The directors who held office during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were as follows:

The company’s current policy concerning the payment of trade creditors is to:

• settle the terms of payment with suppliers when agreeing the terms of each transaction;

• ensure that suppliers are made aware of the terms of payment by inclusion of the relevant terms in contracts; and

• pay in accordance with the company’s contractual and other legal obligations.

The auditor, Bourner Bullock, is deemed to be reappointed under section 487(2) of the Companies Act 2006.

In line with 'Companies (Directors' Report) and Limited Liability Partnerships (Energy and Carbon Report) Regulations 2018' and related accompanying government guidance 'Environmental Reporting Guidelines: Including Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting requirements: March 2019', the Company is required to provide details of its carbon and energy use.

The information relating to the Company has been included in the financial statements of PPHE Hotel Group Ltd, which includes the consolidated information for the entire UK group of entities.

A review of the business including future developments and principal risks and uncertainties are not shown in the Directors’ Report as this information is included within the Strategic Report under s414C(11) of the Companies Act 2006.

So far as each person who was a director at the date of approving this report is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company’s auditor is unaware. Additionally, the directors individually have taken all the necessary steps that they ought to have taken as directors in order to make themselves aware of all relevant audit information and to establish that the company’s auditor is aware of that information.

As at 31 December 2025 the company’s assets exceeded liabilities by £304,643k (2024: £294,235k). The directors have reviewed detailed business plans and cash flow projections to 31 December 2027 and believe that the company has sufficient cash resources to cover both working capital and capital expenditure requirements. The company has a strong balance sheet position and has been profitable since incorporation and is expected to be going forward.

The directors are satisfied that it is appropriate to prepare accounts on a going concern basis.

The directors are responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

United Kingdom company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law, the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period.

In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:

• select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

• make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

• state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

• prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

We have audited the financial statements of Signature Top Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of financial position, the statement of changes in equity and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 101 Reduced Disclosure Framework (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

• give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2025 and of its profit for the year then ended;

• have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

• have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:

• the information given in the strategic report and the directors' truereport for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

• the strategic report and the directors' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors' report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

• adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

• the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

• certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or

• we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

As explained more fully in the directors' responsibilities statement, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Discussions with and enquiries of management and those charged with governance were held with a view to identifying those laws and regulations that could be expected to have a material impact on the financial statements. During the engagement team briefing, the outcomes of these discussions and enquiries were shared with the team, as well as consideration as to where and how fraud may occur in the entity.

The following laws and regulations were identified as being of significance to the entity:

• Those laws and regulations considered to have a direct effect on the financial statements include UK financial reporting regulations, Company Law, Tax and Pensions legislation and distributable profits legislation.

• Those laws and regulations for which non-compliance may be fundamental to the operating aspects of the business and therefore may have a material effect on the financial statements include employment regulation and GDPR.

Audit procedures undertaken in response to the potential risks relating to irregularities (which include fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations) comprised of: enquiries of management and those charged with governance as to whether the entity complies with such laws and regulations; enquiries with the same concerning any actual or potential litigation or claims; inspection of relevant legal correspondence; review of board minutes; testing the appropriateness of journal entries; and the performance of analytical review to identify unexpected movements in account balances which may be indicative of fraud.

No instances of material non-compliance were identified. However, the likelihood of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is limited by the inherent difficulty in detecting irregularities, the effectiveness of the entity’s controls, and the nature, timing and extent of the audit procedures performed. Irregularities that result from fraud might be inherently more difficult to detect than irregularities that result from error. As explained above, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements may not be detected, even though the audit has been planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK).

As at 31 December 202true5 the company’s assets exceeded liabilities by £304,643k (2024: £294,235k). The directors have reviewed detailed business plans and cash flow projections to 31 December 2027 and believe that the company has sufficient cash resources to cover both working capital and capital expenditure requirements. The company has a strong balance sheet position and has been profitable since incorporation and is expected to be going forward.

The directors are satisfied that it is appropriate to prepare accounts on a going concern basis.

A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the company. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

The Company’s investment in subsidiary undertakings is recognised at cost and is accounted for net of impairment losses.

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

Financial assets are recognised in the company's statement of financial position when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are classified into specified categories, depending on the nature and purpose of the financial assets.

At initial recognition, financial assets classified as fair value through profit and loss are measured at fair value and any transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss. Financial assets not classified as fair value through profit and loss are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs.

The company’s financial assets include Trade and other receivables and Cash and cash equivalents.

Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are measured at initial recognition at fair value, and subsequently measured at amortised cost. A provision is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due. The amount of any provision is recognised in profit or loss.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are recognised as financial assets. They comprise cash held by the Group and short term bank deposits with an original maturity date of three months or less.

The company recognises financial debt when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

The company’s financial liabilities include Trade and other payables.

Trade payables

Trade payables are initially recognised as financial liabilities measured at fair value, and subsequent to initial recognition measured at amortised cost.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when, and only when, the company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled, or they expire.

Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.

The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.

Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the company has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.

The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of inventories or non-current assets.

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are initially recorded in the entity’s functional currency by applying the exchange rate at the monthly average rate. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated using the year end closing rate. All differences are taken to profit or loss.

In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

There were no estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities.

The average monthly number of persons (including directors) employed by the company during the year was:

The Directors' remuneration is borne by another Group company.

The charge for the year can be reconciled to the profit per the income statement as follows:

During 2021, the Company was incorporated to complete a group transaction in which the entity acquired the investment in some of the subsidiaries which hold the real estate and operations of both the 646-room Park Plaza London Riverbank (‘Riverbank’) and the 357-room art’otel London Hoxton hotel (‘Hoxton’), which was

opened in 2024.

During 2023, the expected construction costs of art’otel London Hoxton have increased, mainly due to the interest incurred throughout the construction phase. On 27 April 2023, both the Group and Clal mutually agreed that the sharing of the cost referred to above, with a cap of £25.7 million, which is the expected amount of the overruns, would be funded by 65% from the Group and 35% from Clal. In 2024 and in 2023, the parties contributed £9.7 million and £16.0 million respectively.

Details of the company's subsidiaries at 31 December 2025 which all have the same registered office are as follows:

Amounts owed to fellow Group undertakings are non interest bearing and repayable on demand.

The Company has one class of ordinary shares which carry no right to fixed income.

The share premium arose as part of the loan restructuring within the group and company.

The reserve represents the capital contribution made by Euro Sea Hotels NV and CLAL Insurance Enterprises Holdings Ltd.

There were no events subsequent to the balance sheet date that required adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements.

The company is part of a group of companies which is 51% owned by PPHE Hotel Group Limited, a company registered in Guernsey and 49% owned by CLAL Insurance Enterprises Holdings Ltd, a company registered in Israel.

The company is included in the consolidated financial statements of PPHE Hotel Group Limited and copies are available to the public on the Company’s website at www.pphe.com.
