Kromek Group plc

("Kromek" or the "Group")

 

Issue of Equity and Total Voting Rights

 

Kromek Group plc (AIM: KMK), a leading developer of radiation and
bio-detection technology solutions for the advanced imaging and CBRN detection
segments, announces that the Board has issued and allotted
13,440,514 ordinary shares of 1p each ("Ordinary Shares") to Polymer N2 Ltd
("Polymer"), an investment vehicle controlled by Dr Graeme Speirs, a
significant shareholder of the Group, to satisfy the payment of accrued
interest on a loan facility ("Facility") previously announced on 28 September
2023

 

The Facility, which is now repaid, carried fixed interest at a rate of 9.5%,
payable quarterly. Kromek has the option to pay the interest through the issue
of new Ordinary Shares at the trailing 10-day volume weighted average price of
the Ordinary Shares on the date that payment falls due.

 

Accordingly, the new Ordinary Shares have been issued at prices of 4.2p,
5.7p, 7.3p, 5.8p, 5.2p and 6.5p per Ordinary Share, representing the relevant
weighted average price of the  Ordinary Shares on 27 December 2023, 27 March
2024, 26 June 2024, 27 September 2024, 27 December 2024 and 14 February 2025,
respectively, being the payment dates of the interest on the Facility.

 

Application has been made for the 13,440,514 Ordinary Shares to be admitted to
trading on AIM and dealings are expected to commence on or around 8.00 a.m. on
13 June 2025 ("Admission").

 

The new Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the existing shares of the
Group. Following Admission, the Group's issued share capital will consist of
654,986,840 Ordinary Shares, none of which are held in treasury. Accordingly,
the figure of 654,986,840 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 Group under the
Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
