Portfolio Update

TMT Investments Plc (AIM: TMT.L), the venture capital company investing in high-growth technology companies, notes the announcement released by 3D Systems (NYSE:DDD) on 27 October 2021 in respect of its agreement to acquire Volumetric Biotechnologies. Inc. ("Volumetric") (the "Acquisition"). According to the announcement released by 3D Systems, the Acquisition is to be structured as a US$45 million closing payment, with up to US$355 million of further consideration due on an earnout basis subject to the achievement of certain milestones linked to the attainment of significant steps in the demonstration of human applications (the "Contingent Consideration"), with all such payments comprising approximately half cash and half equity in 3D Systems. The Acquisition is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2021.

TMT invested US$200,000 in Volumetric in July 2020 by way of a simple agreement for future equity ("SAFE") with a 20 per cent. discount on conversion subject to a valuation cap of US$12.5 million, which TMT expects will be converted and sold as part of the Acquisition.

The Company does not currently have any further information in relation to the milestones linked to the Contingent Consideration, and there can be no certainty that such milestones will ultimately be achieved.
