Completion of Fundraising and PDMR holdings

Cel AI Plc (LSE: CLAI), the AI agent deployment platform with a strategic
Bitcoin treasury focus, is pleased to announce, further to its announcement of
30 June 2025, the Company has now completed its Fundraising following the
passing of resolutions at the General Meeting held yesterday.

Accordingly, the Company will issue 5,000,000,000 new ordinary shares of 0.1p
each in the share capital of the Company ("New Shares") pursuant to the
Placing and Subscriptions. The Company will apply for admission of the New
Shares to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange upon

Following the Fundraising, the Company's total issued ordinary share capital

is 5.2803802      BTC.

Olivia Edwards, Executive Chair of Cel AI, commented:

"The completion of this £10 million fundraising is a major milestone for Cel
AI as we scale decentralised AI infrastructure and strengthen our digital
asset reserves. This capital extends our operational capacity and reinforces
our dual-engine model-combining AI agent deployment with Bitcoin treasury
growth. Our recent Bittensor subnet acquisition and Bitcoin purchases are
early examples of this strategy in motion, and we're focused on scaling both
to drive long-term shareholder value."
