GenIP Plc

("GenIP" or the "Company")

Operational Update, Placing to Accelerate Growth and Total Voting Rights

GenIP Plc is pleased to announce that it has raised £300,000 (before
expenses) through a placing of 3,000,000 new ordinary shares of £0.00425 each
(the "Ordinary Shares") in the Company (the "Placing Shares") at an issue
price of 10p per Placing Share (the "Placing") to accelerate platform
automation and global commercial expansion.

 

Operational Update

GenIP has moved from an early-stage company traded on AIM to a revenue
generating partner for universities, corporates and investors in innovation
triage and commercialisation.

Key achievements:

·    Expanded the product suite beyond single technology evaluations to
portfolio and macro level tools for budget holders across universities,
corporates and grant institutions.

·    Established recurring client relationships with universities across
six continents - validating the commercial value of GenIP's products.

·    Secured new contracts in new territories - $350k in Saudi Arabia;
$65k in Singapore.

·    Formed strategic LATAM partnerships providing direct access to more
than 500 innovation focused institutions - Brazil technology and science park;
Brazil new venture studio; a Green Tech Platform, led by a University in
Chile, where GenIP is the designated technology transfer supplier.

Strategic Investment

This Placing is a strategic investment focused on capturing market
opportunities and driving automation into new products that will deliver
enhanced gross margins.

Together, this will establish a technical foundation for future growth and
scale.

Use of Proceeds: High-Margin Automation & Scalability

The net proceeds of the Placing will be used in two ways:

For Platform automation and integration leading to margin growth (Primary
Focus): (67%)

●    Embed the new high value products (Invention Validator, Invention
Prioritizer, and Competitive Intelligence Reports) into the core Invention
Evaluator platform.

●   Manual processes will be reduced through automation and embedding,
leading to higher gross margins and scalability.

●    These products are already commercially adopted in Saudi Arabia, UK,
and South Africa.

For Targeted Commercial Conversion in Asia and LATAM (Focused Support): (33%)

●   Technology transfer in Asia and LATAM is less developed than in Europe
and US markets, requiring greater dedicated sales and commercial resource to
close deals. These territories have substantial portfolios of innovations to
be evaluated and managed, creating significant opportunities for GenIP.

●   GenIP has already secured significant contracts in Asia and LATAM and
additional sales resource is now required to build on existing contracts and
partnerships to secure renewal business and cross referrals.

Melissa Cruz, GenIP's CEO, commented:

"This investment enables the technical integration of our new, high-value
products into a single, automated platform. This directly supports margin
growth and establishes the essential foundation for scalable expansion."

Placing

The Company has raised £300,000 (before expenses) through the issue of
3,000,000 Placing Shares at an issue price of 10p per Placing Share, which
represents a discount of approximately 46% to the closing mid-price of 18.5p
as at the close of business on 3 December 2025, being the last practicable
date prior to publication of this announcement. The Placing Shares represent
approximately 17% of the Company's existing issued share capital. Each Placing
Share will have one warrant attached, exercisable at 20p for a period of two
years from the Admission of the Placing Shares to trading on AIM. The Placing
was undertaken by the Company's Broker, AlbR Capital Limited.

Broker Warrants

As consideration for its services in connection with the Placing, the Company
will issue the Broker with warrants over such number of Ordinary Shares as is
equal to 5 per cent. of the Placing Shares (each a "Broker Warrant"). Each
Broker Warrant will be exercisable at 10p up until three years from the date
of Admission.

Concert Party interest

The Concert Party (as defined in the Admission Document published on 26
September 2024), is currently interested in aggregate in 71.30% of the
existing issued share capital reducing to 60.88% in the enlarged issued share
capital on Admission. As the members of the Concert Party therefore currently
hold and will continue to hold on Admission more than 50 per cent. of the
voting rights in the Company, for so long as the Concert Party's aggregate
interest remains above 50 per cent. of the voting rights in the Company, it
will generally be able to increase its shareholding without incurring any
obligation on any member of the Concert Party under Rule 9 of the Takeover
Code to make a general offer to Shareholders (subject to the considerations in
Note 4 on Rule 9.1 of the Takeover Code).

Application for Admission

Application has been made for the Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on
AIM ("Admission") and it is expected that Admission will take place and that
trading will commence on AIM at 8.00 a.m. on or around 18 December 2025. Once
issued, the Placing Shares will rank pari passu with the Company's existing
Ordinary Shares.

Total Voting Rights

Following Admission of the Placing Shares, the enlarged issued share capital
of the Company will comprise 20,517,461 Ordinary Shares. The Company does not
hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. Consequently, 20,517,461 is the figure
which may be used by shareholders from Admission as the denominator for the
calculation 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 and Transparency Rules.
