In addition, Sinead Armstrong, Finance Director acquired 2,500,000 Ordinary Shares in the Company.  All shares were purchased at a price of 1.0 pence, being the Placing Price.

Employee Share Ownership Trust Share Purchase

Furthermore, the Company announces that Zedra Trust Company (Guernsey) Ltd, acting as trustee of the ANGLE Employee Share Ownership Trust (the "ESOT"), purchased, earlier today, a total of 2,886,742 ordinary shares in the Company at a price of 1.1p each.

 The shares will be held in the ESOT, which is a discretionary trust for the benefit of the Company's employees and will ultimately be used to satisfy share awards and options granted under the Company's various share incentive arrangements.

The ESOT may be used to assist in meeting the obligations under employee remuneration schemes with Executive Directors and Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility of the Company, together with other employees, as potential beneficiaries and are therefore treated as having an interest in some of those shares and the dealings thereof.

 Immediately following settlement of the above transaction, the ESOT will hold 3,000,000 ordinary shares ("ESOT Shares") representing 0.3% of the Company's issued share capital.

 The Company's issued share capital as at 19 December 2025 consists of 1,139,402,658 ordinary shares of 0.05 pence each with voting rights. The Company does not hold any shares in treasury and has waived its right to exercise its voting rights and to receive dividends in respect of the EBT Shares. Therefore, the total number of voting rights is 1,136,402,658.

Unless otherwise defined, all capitalised terms used but not defined in this announcement shall have the meaning given to them in the Announcement on 24 November 2025.
