Director Subscription

 

CloudCoCo Group plc (AIM: CLCO) announces that further to the proposed subscription announced on 10 March 2026 (the "Subscription"), the Chairman and his wife have now conditionally subscribed for, in aggregate, 175,000,000 new ordinary shares of 0.01 pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at an issue price of 0.12 pence per new Ordinary Share (the "Director Subscription").

 

The Director Subscription is expected to complete alongside the Subscription on or around 2 April 2026 ("Admission").

 

The Director Subscription will raise £0.21 million (before expenses) for the Company and together with the subscription of 54,166,666 new Ordinary Shares announced on 10 March 2026, in aggregate £0.275 million (before expenses) has been conditionally raised for the Company.

 

On completion of the Director Subscription, the shareholdings in the Company of Simon and Lady Duckworth will be as follows:

Lady Caroline Duckworth

The participation in the Subscription by Simon Duckworth and Lady Caroline Duckworth is deemed to be a related party transaction pursuant to rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies.  Accordingly, Darron Giddens (being the Directors not taking part in the Subscription) considers, having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, Allenby Capital, that the terms of the Director Subscription are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's Shareholders are concerned.

 

Admission to AIM

 

Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange plc for admission of the 229,166,666 Subscription Shares to trading on AIM ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective and dealings in the Subscription Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on or around 2 April 2026 (or such later time and/or date as the Company may agree).

 

Total voting rights

 

Immediately following Admission, the Company will have 935,382,352 Ordinary Shares of 0.1p each in issue, each with one voting right.  There are no shares held in treasury. Therefore, the Company's total number of Ordinary Shares in issue and voting rights will be 935,382,352 and this figure may be used by shareholders from Admission as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

 

The FCA notification table in respect of these director dealings, made in accordance with the requirements of UK MAR, is appended further below.
