The Retail Offer

Cirata (LSE: CRTA), the data activation platform is pleased to announce a conditional retail offer of new ordinary shares of 10 pence each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") via RetailBook (the "Retail Offer") for up to £380,000 (c.$500,000) at an issue price of 15.0 pence per new Ordinary Share (the "Issue Price"), representing a discount of 18.9 per cent to the closing mid-price of the Company's existing Ordinary Shares on 24 June 2026. The Company is also conducting a placing of new Ordinary Shares to institutional investors by way of an accelerated bookbuilding process (the "Placing") and a subscription for new Ordinary Shares (the "Subscription", together with the Placing and the Retail Offer, the "Fundraising") as announced by the Company earlier today. For the avoidance of doubt, the Retail Offer is not part of the Placing.

The Fundraising is conditional on, inter alia, the approval of the shareholders of the Company at a general meeting of the Company to be convened for 11.00 a.m. on 24 July 2026 and on the new Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Fundraising being admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). Admission is expected to take place at 8.00 a.m. on 28 July 2026.

The Retail Offer will not be completed without the Placing and Subscription also being completed.

The net proceeds of the Fundraising are intended to be used by the Company for, balance sheet stability, pipeline conversion and investment in Cirata Symphony.

Reason for the Retail Offer

The Company values its retail shareholder base and believes that it is in the best interests of shareholders as well as wider stakeholders, to provide retail and other interested investors the opportunity to participate in the Retail Offer.

The Retail Offer is open to eligible investors resident and physically located in the United Kingdom following release of this announcement. The Retail Offer is expected to close at 8.00 a.m. on 29 June and may close earlier at the discretion of the Company or if it is oversubscribed.

Investors can participate through RetailBook's partner network of investment platforms, retail brokers and wealth managers, subject to such partners' participation. More information on RetailBook's partner network can be found at https://app.retailbook.com/offers/cirata-plc.

Applications for new Ordinary Shares through participating partners can be made from tax efficient savings vehicles such as ISAs or SIPPs, as well as GIAs. Investors wishing to apply using their ISA, SIPP or GIA should contact their investment platform, retail broker or wealth manager for details of their terms and conditions, process and any relevant fees or charges.

The new Ordinary Shares will, when issued, be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with existing Ordinary Shares including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after their date of issue.

Brokers wishing to offer their customers access to the Retail Offer and future RetailBook transactions, should contact [e-mail]. UK Investors that wish to receive alerts for future RetailBook transactions should sign up here: https://www.retailbook.com/investors.   

Eligibility for the Retail Offer

The Retail Offer is available to new and existing shareholders of the Company. To be eligible to participate in the Retail Offer, applicants must be a customer of a participating partner.

Eligible investors wishing to subscribe for new Ordinary Shares should contact their investment platform, retail broker or wealth manager to confirm if they are participating in the Retail Offer, for details of their terms and conditions, process (including for using their ISA, SIPP or GIA and the procedure for application and payment of the new Ordinary Shares and details of how any funds committed with be treated if the Retail Offer does not proceed) and any relevant fees or charges.

Some partners may only accept applications from existing shareholders and/or existing customers.

There is a minimum subscription of £250 per investor. The terms and conditions on which investors subscribe will be provided by the relevant financial intermediaries including relevant commission or fee charges. Note, no commission will be charged to investors by RetailBook in connection with the Retail Offer.

The Company reserves the right to scale back any order under the Retail Offer at its discretion. The Company reserves the right to reject any application for subscription under the Retail Offer without giving any reason for such rejection.

Investors should also note that the Retail Offer will remain open alongside a live share price and the market price of the shares may be less than the Issue Price.

Investors should make their own investigations into the merits of an investment in the Company. Nothing in this announcement amounts to a recommendation to invest in the Company or amounts to investment, taxation or legal advice.

It should be noted that a subscription for new Ordinary Shares and investment in the Company carries a number of risks. Investors should take independent advice from a person experienced in advising on investment in securities such as the new Ordinary Shares if they are in any doubt.

AIM is a market designed primarily for emerging or smaller companies to which a higher investment risk tends to be attached than to larger or more established companies. A prospective investor should be aware of the risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after careful consideration and, if appropriate, consultation with an independent financial adviser.

An investment in the Company will place capital at risk. The value of your investment in the Company and any income from it is not guaranteed and can go down as well as rise due to stock market and currency movements. When you sell your investment, you may get back less than the amount originally invested.

Neither past performance nor any forecasts should be considered a reliable indicator of future results.

This announcement should be read in its entirety. In particular, the information in the "Important Notices" section of the announcement should be read and understood.
