Flowtech Fluidpower PLC
Result of WRAP Retail Offer
Flowtech Fluidpower PLC ("Flowtech" or the "Company") (AIM: FLO) is pleased
to announce that, following the Fundraising announced on 20 January 2026, it
has conditionally raised gross proceeds of £0.6 million by way of a retail
offer via the Winterflood Retail Access Platform. Pursuant to the Retail
Offer, the Company will issue a total of 1,180,070 new ordinary shares of 50
pence each (and following the Capital Reorganisation, 5 pence each) (the
"Ordinary Shares") in the capital of the Company at the Issue Price (the
"Retail Offer Shares").
In total, the Placing and the Retail Offer have raised gross proceeds of
approximately £9.6 million for the Company, via the Placing of 16,981,132
Placing Shares and the 1,180,070 Retail Offer Shares.
Admission and Total Voting Rights
The Retail Offer and the Placing remain subject to, inter alia, the passing
of the Resolutions at a General Meeting of the Company on 6 February 2026.
Subject to the passing of the Resolutions, application will be made to the
London Stock Exchange for the new Ordinary Shares (namely, the Placing Shares
and the Retail Offer Shares) to be admitted to trading on the AIM market of
the London Stock Exchange ("Admission") and, subject to the passing of the
Resolutions, it is expected that such Admission will become effective and
dealings in such new Ordinary Shares will commence on AIM at 8.00 a.m. on 9
February 2026.
Upon Admission, the Company's issued ordinary share capital will consist of
81,436,375 Ordinary Shares with one voting right each. The Company does not
hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore, from Admission the total
number of Ordinary Shares and voting rights in the Company will be 81,436,375.
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 Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency
Rules.
The new Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Retail Offer will be
issued free of all liens, charges and encumbrances and will, on Admission,
rank pari passu in all respects with the new Ordinary Shares to be issued
pursuant to the Placing and the Company's existing Ordinary Shares.
Terms used but not defined in this announcement have the same meaning as set
out in the Company's announcement released at 7.01 a.m. on 20 January 2026.

facts. These forward-looking statements involve risks, assumptions and
uncertainties that could cause the actual results of operations, financial
condition, liquidity and dividend policy and the development of the industries
in which the Company's businesses operate to differ materially from the

future performance. Persons needing advice should consult an independent
financial adviser. No statement in this announcement is intended to be a
profit forecast and no statement in this announcement should be interpreted to
