Cirata plc
("Cirata" or the "Company")
Result of Retail Offer
Cirata plc (LSE: CRTA) announced on 25 June 2026 the launch of a fundraising comprising a conditional Placing and Subscription (the "Launch Announcement") and a separate Retail Offer.
The Company is pleased to announce that the Retail Offer successfully completed and closed at 8.00 a.m. on 29 June 2026 and that it has conditionally raised approximately £0.32 million in the Retail Offer through the issue of 2,155,622 new Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price of 15 pence per share.
Following the close of the Retail Offer, the Company has conditionally raised gross proceeds of approximately £5.4 million (c. $7.2 million) at the Issue Price via the Fundraising and the Retail Offer, pursuant to which the Company will therefore be required to issue and allot a total of 36,310,971 new Ordinary Shares.
The Retail Offer is conditional upon, inter alia, the passing of the GM Resolutions by Shareholders at the General Meeting to be held on 24 July 2026 and Admission becoming effective at 8:00 am on 28 July 2026 (or such later time(s) and/or date(s) as the Company and its advisors may agree, but not later than 11 August 2026).
Capitalised terms used in this announcement shall, unless defined in this announcement or unless the context provides otherwise, bear the same meaning ascribed to such terms in the Launch Announcement.
Admission, Dealings and Total Voting Rights
Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the 36,310,971 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. Admission is expected to take place and dealings in the Shares are expected to commence at 8.00 a.m. on 28 July 2026 (or such later time(s) and/or date(s) as the Company and its advisors may agree), at which time it is also expected that the Shares will be enabled for settlement in CREST.
Immediately following Admission, the issued share capital of the Company is expected to comprise 162,759,626 Ordinary Shares. Each Ordinary Share carries one voting right and no Ordinary Shares are held in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company on Admission is expected to be 162,759,626. From Admission, this figure may be used by Shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
