Mollyroe plc
("Mollyroe" or the "Company")
Result of General Meeting
Acquisition of Cascade, Rule 9 Waiver and £1.93 million Fundraise approved
Conversion of Loan Notes
Consolidation
Mollyroe (AQSE: MOY) is pleased to announce that all the resolutions were duly passed at the General Meeting of the Company held earlier today. Resolution 1, the Rule 9 Waiver Resolution, was passed by Independent Shareholders as an ordinary resolution, on a poll.
Accordingly, the Acquisition has become unconditional in all respects save for Admission, which is expected to take place at 8.00 a.m. on Monday 12 October 2026.
Cascade’s core product is an AI-native, end-to-end film production platform designed to support the creative workflow from initial concept and script development through storyboarding, asset creation, video and audio generation and final edit. The platform is intended to provide a single connected production environment, reducing reliance on multiple standalone applications and enabling greater consistency and control across a production.
The Cascade platform incorporates proprietary agentic AI and asset-management technology intended to connect project data and creative assets across each stage of production.
Since the launch of its open beta in June 2026, Cascade has continued to attract engagement from creators and larger enterprises trialling the platform. The Company is continuing to onboard enterprise clients, IP and rights holders, and production studios, with feedback received to date being positive.
Cascade has established a growing pipeline of production opportunities and is undertaking a number of ongoing trials and evaluations with commercial partners. The Company anticipates that some of these engagements may progress into enterprise client relationships in the fourth quarter of 2026.
In particular, Cascade has, since launch, signed a services agreement with a major IP rights holder which will use the Cascade platform to develop videos/films based on IP rights owned by the rights holder.
Cascade’s open beta cycle closed successfully on 9 October 2026, and the Cascade platform is now fully live at www.cascadestudio.ai.
Commenting on the acquisition of Cascade, Darren Hopkins, CEO of Mollyroe, said:
“We are delighted to have completed the acquisition with the support of our new investors and to have Cascade operating as a public company.
“Since the beta launch in early June, we have been hugely encouraged by the growing number of subscribers trialling the platform and have recently onboarded our first enterprise level customers. The new funds raised will enable the rollout of our formal customer acquisition strategy with the platform now fully live, whilst also supporting wider marketing initiatives and platform upgrades.
We are excited by the early progress made and will be providing further updates soon.”

Following Completion and Admission, the Concert Party will hold Ordinary Shares representing more than 50 per cent. of the voting rights of the Company and, accordingly, for so long as they continue to be acting in concert, the Concert Party will be able to increase its aggregate shareholding in the Company without incurring any obligation under Rule 9 to make a general offer to the Company’s other Shareholders. However, individual members of the Concert Party will not be able to increase their percentage shareholding through or between a Rule 9 threshold, without the consent of the Panel.
Assuming the exercise in full of all options, warrants, convertible securities and other subscription rights held by members of the Concert Party, and assuming that no other holder of such rights exercises them, the maximum potential interest of the Concert Party is 2,344,196,270 Ordinary Shares, representing 74.51 per cent. of the Company's voting rights.
Total Voting Rights
Following Admission, the Company's enlarged share capital will comprise 2,960,292,340 Ordinary Shares.
Ahead of the Consolidation, the figure of 2,960,292,340 Ordinary Shares may be used by Shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they may determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their overall interest in, the share capital of the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
Following the Consolidation, with effect from Wednesday, 14 October 2026, the figure of 296,029,234 Ordinary Shares may be used by Shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they may determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their overall interest in, the share capital of the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
