EnSilica plc (AIM: ENSI), a leading fabless, application-specific
chipmaker, announces that at the general meeting of the Company held earlier
today, all resolutions were duly passed. The results of the proxy voting will
be available on the Company's website in due course.
As a result of the resolutions being passed today, the Second Tranche Placing

Welcome to new substantial shareholder
The board of directors of EnSilica looks forward to welcoming Esterhuyzen
Limited ("Esterhuyzen") as a substantial shareholder following Esterhuyzen's
participation in the Second Tranche Placing. Esterhuyzen participated in the
First Tranche Placing and, as announced on 19 March 2026, currently holds
8,000,000 Ordinary Shares, representing 7.53 per cent. of the Company's
current issued share capital. Following Esterhuyzen's participation in the
Second Tranche Placing, Esterhuyzen is expected to hold 16,000,000 Ordinary
Shares, representing 13.57 per cent. of the enlarged issued share capital from
Admission.
Esterhuyzen Limited is a privately held family office investment holding
company with a particular focus on the pan European semiconductor sector.
Esterhuyzen Limited's investment approach is long-term, and they are
supportive of the Company's existing strategic direction.
Changes to significant shareholdings in the Company
With the completion of the Fundraising, the Company is aware of dilution to
the following significant shareholders in the Company whose percentage

Total Voting Rights
Upon Admission, the Company's issued share capital will consist of 117,877,230
Ordinary Shares with one voting right each. The Company does not hold any
Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of Ordinary Shares
and voting rights in the Company will be 117,877,230. With effect from
Admission, this figure may be used by shareholders in the Company 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
share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and
Transparency Rules.
