Share Buyback Programme Update

 

Boku (AIM: BOKU), a leading provider of mobile payment solutions, announces
that it has completed its share buyback programme of 4,000,000 common stock of
$0.0001 each ("Common Stock"), details of which were announced on 18 November
2024. Over the course of the share buyback programme, 4,000,000 Common Stock
were repurchased at an average price of 182.14 pence, representing c. 1.3% of
the Company's issued share capital at the start of the buyback. All of the
Common Stock purchased in the programme have been held in Treasury.

The Company is pleased to announce that the Board has approved an extension of
the current share buyback programme, originally announced on 18 November 2024,
to repurchase up to a further 4,000,000 Common Stock (the "Buyback
Extension").

The Company has instructed Investec Bank plc, the Company's broker, to conduct
the Buyback Extension on its behalf. The Buyback Extension will be effected
within certain pre-set parameters, including that the maximum price paid per
Common Stock shall be 105 per cent. of the trailing five day average
mid-market price, and in accordance with authority granted by the Company's
Board to hold up to 5% of the Common Stock in Treasury. (the "Authority").

The Buyback Extension will be effective from 11 February 2025 and will expire
on 30 June 2025, or earlier, if either the maximum aggregate number of Common
Stock has been purchased or the maximum aggregate consideration has been
reached.

Due to the limited liquidity in the issued Common Stock, a buy-back of Common
Stock pursuant to the Authority on any trading day may represent a significant
proportion of the daily trading volume in the Common Stock on AIM and may
exceed 25 per cent of the average daily trading volume. Accordingly, the
Company will not benefit from the exemption contained in Article 5(1) of the
UK version of the Market Abuse Regulation (Regulation (EU) No 596/2014) as
incorporated into UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal)
Act 2018.
