Completion of Tender Offer & Total Voting Rights

 

 

accesso Technology Group plc (AIM: ACSO), the premier technology solutions

Tender Offer announced by the Company on 11 February 2026 has now completed as

Offer is approximately £14.5 million.

 

Terms used in this announcement shall have the same meaning as set out in the
Company's Circular in respect of the Tender Offer dated 11 February 2026.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Tender Offer, Deutsche Numis purchased 4,833,333
Ordinary Shares at the fixed price of £3.00 per Ordinary Share (the "Tender
Price") representing an aggregate amount of approximately £14.5 million. On
Wednesday 18 March 2026, these Ordinary Shares were subsequently acquired from
Deutsche Numis by the Company on the London Stock Exchange pursuant to the
terms of a Repurchase Agreement at the Tender Price and will be cancelled by
the Company.

Settlement of the Tender Offer consideration will be payable as follows:

Shareholders of Ordinary Shares

·   the proceeds payable to the Company's Shareholders for Ordinary Shares
held in Certificated Form purchased under the Tender Offer will be despatched
in the form of a cheque by or on 27 March 2026; and

·   the proceeds payable to the Company's Shareholders for Ordinary Shares
in Uncertificated Form purchased under the Tender Offer will be paid through
CREST by or on 18 March 2026.

Total Voting Rights

Following completion of the Tender Offer and the cancellation of 4,833,333
Ordinary Shares, and in accordance with Rule 5.6.1 of the Financial Conduct
Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, the Company's Issued
Ordinary Share Capital as at 18 March 2026 consists of 33,282,874 Ordinary
Shares, all of which carry voting rights. The Company holds no Ordinary Shares
in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights attaching to
Ordinary Shares in the Company is 33,282,874.

33,282,874 may be used by Shareholders 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, Ordinary Shares to the Company under the
Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
