Results of Placing

 

Further to the announcement on 01 July 2024 relating to the proposed placing
of new common shares in Devolver (the "Launch Announcement"), Devolver is
pleased to announce that it has successfully placed a total of 23,917,151
Placing Shares with investors (conditional on Admission) at a price of 33
pence per Placing Share which represents a 10 per cent premium to the closing
price on 01 July 2024 (being the latest practicable date prior to the launch
of the placing). The gross proceeds from the Placing are approximately £7.9
million (equivalent to USD $10 million*). The Placing Shares represent c. 5.4%
of the issued and outstanding share capital of Devolver.

 

Zeus acted as Broker in relation to the Placing.

 

Application has been made for the 23,917,151 Placing Shares to be admitted to
trading on AIM. It is expected that Admission will occur at 8.00 a.m. on or
around 05 July 2024.

 

Following Admission of the Placing Shares, the Company's issued and
outstanding share capital will comprise 468,749,592 common shares. Therefore,
following Admission the total number of shares with voting rights in the
Company will be 468,749,592 which may be used by shareholders as the
denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are
required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the
Company under the provisions in article 7 of the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation which are equivalent to rule 5 of the Financial Conduct
Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

 

Other than where defined, capitalised terms used in this announcement have the
meanings given to them in the Launch Announcement.
