Partial Conversion of Convertible Loan Notes

Kromek (AIM: KMK), a leading developer of radiation and bio-detection
technology solutions for the advanced imaging and CBRN detection segments,
announces that it has issued and allotted 7,830,628 new ordinary shares in the
Company ("Shares") at a conversion price of 5.11 pence per Share in order to
settle the exercise of convertible loan notes and repayment of interest to
certain convertible loan note holders under an existing £2.84m convertible
loan note agreement, the terms of which were announced on 5 and 23 August 2022
("Partial Conversion"). The issue price of 5.11 pence per Share represents the
volume-weighted average price of the Company's ordinary shares for the ten-day
period up to and including 8 September 2023. The Partial Conversion reduces
the amount owing on the convertible notes by £261,000, with £2,579,000
remaining.

 

Application has been made for the Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and
dealings are expected to commence on or around 8.00 a.m. on 19 September 2023
("Admission").

 

The Shares will rank pari passu with the existing shares of the Company.
Following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will consist of
600,246,820 ordinary shares, none of which are held in treasury. Accordingly,
the figure of 600,246,820 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 Company under the
FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
