FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (Aquis Stock Exchange: VLRM)

Valereum Plc

("Valereum", "VLRM" or the "Company")

Strategic Memorandum of Understanding with Integra Foundation

Valereum Plc (AQSE: VLRM), a company aiming to become the global market leader in the rapidly developing tokenised digital markets sector, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding ("MoU") with Integra Foundation ("Integra"), establishing a framework to collaborate on real-world asset ("RWA") tokenisation, institutional distribution, and secondary trading, with an initial focus on real estate.

The planned collaboration intends to combine the Company's ecosystem, including VLRM Markets, S.A. de C.V., a licensed and regulated Digital Asset Service Provider in El Salvador, and the DigiShares platform, with Integra's blockchain infrastructure.

Under the terms of the MOU, the parties will:

● Explore the issuance of tokenised real estate assets via VLRM Markets using Integra's blockchain, with at least one potential issuance expected for deployment

● Engage with institutional and professional participants within the Integra ecosystem

What this Means for Valereum

This MOU supports Valereum's strategy to accelerate revenue generation from its regulated infrastructure for tokenised assets.  It aims to:

Expand Distribution: Providing access to Integra's institutional and buy-side ecosystem, including introductions which may support issuers on securing allocations prior to their issuances going live.

Accelerate Issuance: Enabling real estate-backed RWA issuances directly onto the Integra blockchain through VLRM Markets.

Strengthen Multi-Chain Capability: Advancing Valereum's multi-chain issuance and interoperability strategy, improving scalability and commercial flexibility.

Mark Mariampillai, Commercial Director of VLRM Markets, commented:

"This MOU with Integra supports Valereum's strategy to scale regulated infrastructure for tokenised real-world assets. By connecting with institutional participants active in RWAs, we believe we can boost issuance activity, broaden distribution and strengthen liquidity pathways - all of which underpin long-term revenues."

Piyush Gupta, Core Contributor of Integra Foundation, commented:

"This collaboration with Valereum reflects Integra's mission to build institutional-grade infrastructure for real estate tokenisation. By integrating with VLRM's regulated issuance capabilities, we are strengthening the bridge between compliant primary issuance and scalable secondary markets. Our goal is to enable real estate assets to move with the same efficiency, transparency, and global accessibility as public market securities, and this partnership is a meaningful step in that direction."

IMPORTANT NOTICES

The Company holds cryptocurrencies or cryptoassets in its treasury. Whilst the Board of Directors of the Company considers holding cryptocurrencies to be in the best interests of the Company, the Board remains aware that the financial regulator in the UK (the Financial Conduct Authority or FCA) considers investment in cryptocurrencies to be high risk. At the outset, it is important to note that an investment in the Company is not an investment in cryptocurrencies, either directly or by proxy and shareholders will have no direct access to the Company's holdings. However, the Board of Directors consider cryptocurrencies to be an appropriate store of value and potential growth and therefore appropriate for the Company. Accordingly, the Company is and intends to continue to be materially exposed to cryptocurrencies.  

The Company is neither authorised nor regulated by the FCA, and the purchase of certain cryptocurrencies are generally unregulated in the UK. As with most other investments, the value of cryptocurrencies can go down as well as up, and therefore the value of the Company's cryptocurrencies holdings can fluctuate. The Company may not be able to realise its cryptocurrencies holdings for the same as it paid to acquire them or even for the value the Company currently ascribes to its cryptocurrencies positions due to market movements. Neither the Company nor investors in the Company's shares are protected by the UK's Financial Ombudsman Service or the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. 

Cryptocurrencies may present special risks to the Company's financial position. These risks include (but are not limited to): (i) the value of cryptocurrencies can be highly volatile, with value dropping as quickly as it can rise. Investors in cryptocurrencies must be prepared to lose all money invested in cryptocurrencies; (ii) the cryptocurrencies market is largely unregulated. There is a risk of losing money due to risks such as cyber-attacks, financial crime and counterparty failure; (iii) the Company may not be able to sell its cryptocurrencies at will. The ability to sell cryptocurrencies depends on various factors, including the supply and demand in the market at the relevant time. Operational failings such as technology outages, cyber-attacks and comingling of funds could cause unwanted delay; and (iv) cryptoassets are characterised in some quarters by high degrees of fraud, money laundering and financial crime. Prospective investors in the Company are encouraged to do their own research before investing.
