All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), subsequent to the date of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement which indicate that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregister all securities then remaining unsold, including any Reports of Foreign Private Issuers on Form 6-K submitted during such period (or portion thereof) that is identified in such form as being incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of the filing of such documents.

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

The Companies (Jersey) Law 1991, as amended (the “Jersey Companies Law”) does not contain any provision permitting Jersey companies to limit the liabilities of directors for breach of fiduciary duty. However, a Jersey company may exempt from liability and indemnify directors and officers for liabilities:

 

 

incurred in defending any civil or criminal legal proceedings where:

 

   

judgment is given in the person’s favor or the person is acquitted;

 

   

the proceedings are discontinued other than by reason of such person (or someone on their behalf) giving some benefit or suffering some detriment; or

 

   

the proceedings are settled on terms that such person (or someone on their behalf) gives some benefit or suffers some detriment but in the opinion of a majority of the disinterested directors, the person was substantially successful on the merits in the person’s resistance to the proceedings;

 

 

incurred to anyone other than to the company if the person acted in good faith with a view to the best interests of the company;

 

 

incurred in connection with an application made to the court for relief from liability for negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust under Article 212 of the Jersey Companies Law in which relief is granted to the person by the court; or

 

 

incurred in a case in which the company normally maintains insurance for persons other than directors.

Subject to the provisions of the Jersey Companies Law, the Registrant’s Articles of Association provide that every director or other officer of the Registrant shall be indemnified out of the assets of the Registrant against any liability incurred by such individual for negligence, default, breach of duty, breach of trust or otherwise in relation to the affairs of the Registrant.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.

 

(a)

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

  (1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

  (i)

To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

  (ii)

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

  (iii)

To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

 

  (2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

  (3)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(b)

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(c)

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.


SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of London, United Kingdom on May 11, 2026.

The Options, SARs, Restricted Share Awards, Performance Awards, and Other Awards subject to and as defined in the 2026 Plan, and the Replacement Awards subject to and as defined in the Replacement Award Deed, and Replacement Options subject to and as defined in the Replacement Option Certificate being collectively referred to herein as the Securities. Under the relevant Plan (as defined in the Replacement Award Deed) or the 2026 Plan (each an EIP and together the EIPs) the Company has granted and may from time to time grant Securities relating to the Plan Shares.

 

1.3

In this opinion:

 

  (a)

non-assessable means, in relation to any Plan Shares, that the consideration for which the Company agreed to issue those Plans Shares has been paid in full to the Company, so that no further sum is payable to the Company by any holder of those Plan Shares in respect of the purchase price of those Plan Shares; and

 

  (b)

Plan Shares means:

 

  (i)

in relation to the Replacement Options and the Replacement Awards, an aggregate maximum amount of up to up to 64,626,561 A ordinary shares of $0.01 each in the capital of the Company; and

 

  (ii)

in relation to the Options, SARs, Restricted Share Awards, Performance Awards, and Other Awards:

 

  (A)

commencing on 8 April 2026 and ending on (and including)31 December 2026, an aggregate maximum amount of up to 102,567,200 A ordinary shares of $0.01 each in the capital of the Company (the Initial Reserve); and

 

  (B)

commencing on 1 January 2027 and ending on (and including)1 January 2036, the Initial Reserve will automatically increase annually on 1 January by an amount equal to 10% of the total number of all issued shares in the capital of the Company as at the preceding 31 December, unless the board of directors of the Company determines prior to 1 January of a given year to provide that the increase for such year will be a lesser number of A ordinary shares of $0.01 each in the capital of the Company,

pursuant to the memorandum of association of the Company in force as at the date hereof, an aggregate maximum amount of up to 620,888,326 A ordinary shares of $0.01 each in the capital of the Company.

1.a. Pursuant to Rule 416(a) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), this Registration Statement shall also cover any additional Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.01 ("Class A Ordinary Shares") of Wise Group plc (the "Registrant") that become issuable under the plans set forth herein by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, or other similar transaction effected that results in an increase to the number of outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares. 1.b. Represents Class A Ordinary Shares reserved for future issuance pursuant to awards under the Registrant's 2026 Equity Incentive Plan with Non-Employee Sub-Plan (the "2026 Plan"). 1.c.
