450 plc

("450" or the "Company")

Update

Cancellation of Trading

Further to the announcement of 7 October 2025, in which the Company confirmed
that it had signed a non-binding Head of Terms for the potential acquisition
of the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Silvercloud Holdings
Limited ("Silvercloud"), the sole shareholder of Le Chameau Holdings Limited
("Le Chameau") (the "Potential Transaction"), the Directors of 450 (the
"Directors") provide this update.

The Potential Transaction is not progressing as quickly as the Directors
anticipated due to the time it has taken to finalise certain transaction
parameters. The Directors of the Company also consider that, given the early
stage of the Potential Transaction, they are not yet able to make any
appropriate alternative disclosures in order that investors can understand the
impact of the Potential Transaction on the Company to enable the suspension of
the Company's shares to be lifted. Moreover, for a number of reasons,
including ensuring that all resources are focused on Le Chameau's forthcoming
Centenary year, the Directors consider that the Potential Transaction would be
better progressed if 450 were unquoted.

Accordingly, with the irrevocable support of the Company's largest shareholder
representing more than 75 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital the
Directors have resolved not to apply for an extension of the current
suspension but to allow the admission of the Company's shares to trading on
AIM to be cancelled on 8 April 2026 (the "Cancellation Date"). The
cancellation takes effect pursuant to Rule 41 of the AIM Rules for Companies
as the Company's shares have been suspended from trading for more than 6
months.

Principal effects of the Proposed Cancellation

The Directors are aware that shareholders may wish to acquire or dispose of
shares in the Company following the Cancellation Date. The Company will
therefore consult with shareholders about providing a liquidity option to
shareholders which might include implementing a matched bargain facility after
the Cancellation Date.

On the Cancellation Date, Zeus Capital Limited will cease to be the nominated
adviser of the Company pursuant to the AIM Rules for Companies and the Company
will no longer be required to comply with the AIM Rules for Companies.
However, the Company will remain subject to the City Code on Takeovers and
Mergers (the "the Takeover Code") until 8 April 2028.
