Significant events

• “On February 3, 2025, Sophos Inc. (a related party) completed its acquisition of SecureWorks Corp. (formerly Nasdaq: SCWX), a Delaware corporation, in an all-cash transaction valued at $8.50 per share.”
• “The Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Gaza conflicts have generated a significant amount of uncertainty from both a geo-political and world-wide economic perspective.”
• “In January 2019, Vir2us, Inc. filed a lawsuit against Group entities in federal court in the Eastern District of Virginia alleging claims of breach of contract arising out of a patent license agreement. On 16 August 2024, the District Court decided summary judgment almost entirely in favour of Sophos, leaving still in dispute a small amount that has since been resolved and the Group entities' counterclaim, which has been stayed. Vir2us appealed the summary judgment decision, and at the time of signing these accounts, the parties are scheduled to brief the appeal through October 2025.”
• “On 6 November 2024, Malikie Innovations Limited and Key Patent Innovations Limited ('Malikie') filed a lawsuit against Sophos Limited in the Eastern District of Texas, alleging patent infringement and seeking unspecified damages. The case was dismissed without prejudice in February 2025, subject to potential refiling if all claims are not finally resolved. In August 2025, the Company entered into a confidential agreement to settle and resolve all differences and disputes.”
• “Following the acquisition of Secureworks by Sophos Inc, on Sept 30th 2025 Sophos Limited went through a restructure of its investments and subsequently sold 100% of it share in Sophos KK to Sophos Intermediate II for £4.3M; the same day Sophos Limited also purchased 100% of the shares in SecureWorks France, Secureworks Canada and Secureworks Romania from Secureworks Inc, for £1M, £2.8M & £4.3M respectively.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
