PRESS RELEASE, 09 November 2021

Proposed placing of existing ordinary shares in Indivior PLC

Jefferies International Limited ("Jefferies") today announces the intention to sell existing ordinary shares in Indivior PLC (the "Company") on behalf of Scopia Capital Management LP ("Scopia" or the "Seller"). The proposed share sale (the "Placing") represents approximately 3.0% of the Company's issued share capital.

Scopia will retain its seat on the Company's board and remains a committed long-term shareholder. Post completion of the Placing, Indivior will remain Scopia's top holding. Shares in Indivior held by Scopia, which are not sold in the Placing, will be subject to a 90-day lock-up, subject to customary exceptions.

The price per share will be determined through an accelerated bookbuilding process to institutional investors. The bookbuilding process will commence with immediate effect following this announcement and may close at any time on short notice. The results of the Placing will be announced as soon as practicable thereafter.

Jefferies is acting as Sole Global Coordinator and Bookrunner on the Placing. A further announcement will be made following completion of the bookbuilding and pricing of the Placing.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company will not receive any proceeds from the Placing.
