As announced previously, the scheme of arrangement to implement the

subsidiary of certain funds managed by Bridgepoint Advisers Limited,
("Scheme") was approved by Alpha FMC shareholders at the Court Meeting and
General Meeting held today, and is anticipated to become effective on 19
August 2024. Capitalised terms used but not otherwise defined in this
announcement shall have the meaning given to them in the Scheme Document.

Alpha FMC announces that an application has been made to AIM for a block
listing of 1,929,934 new ordinary shares of 0.075p each in Alpha FMC ("New
Ordinary Shares") for the purposes of satisfying the potential vesting or
exercise of awards over up to a maximum of 1,929,934 shares granted pursuant
to certain Alpha FMC employee share plans which will vest or become
exercisable (as relevant) upon the sanction of the Scheme by the Court.

New Ordinary Shares issued following the vesting of awards or option exercises
