EMV Capital plc

(EMVC, Group or the Company)

Expansion of Senior Finance Leadership Team

Appointment of new Group CFO and creation of Portfolio CFO role

 

EMV Capital Plc (AIM: EMVC), the deep tech and life sciences VC investment
group, announces the appointment of Anesh Patel as Group Chief Financial
Officer (non-Board) with Stephen Crowe, the Company's current CFO,
transitioning to a newly created role of Portfolio CFO (non-Board). Both
changes are expected to take effect from 1 December 2025.

The creation of these two distinct roles reflects EMVC's development into a
business with over £100 million of Assets Under Management (AUM) and a
portfolio of more than seventy companies, supported by multiple revenue
streams across corporate finance, fund management, and value-creation
services. As the Group has scaled, the scope of the finance function has
naturally evolved, requiring a dedicated Group-focused CFO and a separate
senior role focused exclusively on supporting portfolio company growth.

Anesh Patel is an accomplished strategic finance leader with over twenty years
of relevant experience. He qualified as a Chartered Accountant with Ernst
& Young and his subsequent experience in investment banking and leadership
roles within AIM-quoted life sciences companies closely align with EMVC's core
areas of corporate finance, M&A projects, portfolio management and venture
development.

Stephen, who has been with the Company for over seven years, will support an
orderly handover before concentrating full-time on providing senior financial
and accounting services to selected EMVC portfolio companies (paid for by the
portfolio companies), ensuring continuity and strengthening of the Group's
active portfolio-management model.

Dr Ilian Iliev, CEO of EMV Capital, commented:

"As the Group continues to grow, we are expanding our senior finance
leadership. Stephen has been instrumental in helping build EMVC to where it is
today, and I am delighted that he will continue to support our portfolio
companies in a dedicated capacity. His move into the Portfolio CFO role allows
us to deploy his strengths even more directly into supporting our portfolio.

"We are equally pleased to welcome Anesh to EMVC. His blend of financial
leadership, capital-markets experience and sector expertise makes him
exceptionally well aligned to our next phase of growth. He joins the Group at
an important time as we continue to build scale across the organisation and
drive towards break-even within our core operations."

The person responsible for arranging the release of this announcement on
behalf of the Company is Ed Hooper, Executive Director and General Counsel of
the Company.
