RNS Number : 5419X  Beeks Financial Cloud Group PLC  02 September 2025

Beeks Financial Cloud Group plc

("Beeks" or the "Company")

Strategic stake in Liquid-Markets-Solutions ("LMS")

Strategic investment provides access to innovative high-performance,
ultra-low-latency technology, enhancing the attractiveness of Beeks' offerings
in key market segments

2 September 2025: Beeks Financial Cloud Group plc (AIM: BKS), a cloud
computing and connectivity provider for financial markets, is pleased to
announce it has secured a small minority stake in Liquid-Markets-Solutions
("LMS"), a rapidly growing provider of innovative high performance network
technology, headquartered in Switzerland.

This investment allows Beeks to exclusively deploy LMS' newly released
landmark technology, ÜberNIC, for the managed financial services data centre
market segment. ÜberNIC is a FPGA-based Ethernet adapter, an FPGA
(Field-Programmable Gate Array) being a reconfigurable chip that lets the
Ethernet adapter process data in hardware, delivering unmatched
ultra-low-latency capabilities.

The sub-microsecond latency and reliability capabilities of LMS' new
FPGA-based architecture are critical in latency sensitive trading environments
and the product is gaining interest from large financial institutions
worldwide. This partnership enables Beeks to integrate ÜberNIC's
high-performance network technology into its Private and Exchange Cloud
offerings, providing financial institutions with streamlined access to the
technology via an integrated platform.

For Beeks the benefits are two-fold. It enhances the Group's technological
leadership and the appeal of its offerings, helping to deliver even greater
execution speeds and predictability for its clients' trading strategies. In
addition, with considerable interest in ÜberNIC already in the financial
services industry and Beeks' exclusive access within the industry's data
centre market segment, it serves as an additional sales channel, broadening
market reach and supporting revenue growth.

Gordon McArthur, CEO of Beeks, commented: "This investment reflects our
careful and deliberate approach to strengthening Beeks' infrastructure
offering for capital markets. Following rigorous testing, we are confident the
FPGA-based technology is at the forefront of technological advancement in the
industry, and our exclusive access within the financial services data centre
market segment reinforces our position as a leading technology provider and is
set to drive further growth opportunities."
