Intention to float on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange

Milton Capital Plc (LSE:MII) a new type of special purpose acquisition
company, is pleased to announce its intention to apply for admission of its
shares to the standard listing segment of the Official List of the FCA and to
trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange ("Admission").

 

Admission is expected to take place on or around 4 October 2022 under the
ticker 'MII'.

 

Highlights:

•    One Price for All - All investors have come in at the same time and
at the same IPO price; no Founder Shares or pre-IPO rounds; no pre-IPO
warrants; no pre-IPO options.

•   No Advisory/Broking Fees- The Company's advisor and broker,
Peterhouse Capital, has agreed to waive all advisory fees and commission on
all funds raised at the IPO and will receive no annual retainer.

•     Capped listing and on-going costs -

•     Total costs for the IPO have been capped at £50,000, including
all accounting, legal, PR and Exchange fees;

•     Total costs for the first full year after listing also capped at
£50,000.

•    No ongoing director salaries - The Company's directors will receive
no salaries or consultancy fees; compensation will only be received by way of
a success fee on the completion of a Reverse Takeover, approved by
shareholders.

Malcolm Burne, Director of Milton, commented: "I see this shell as being a
particularly exceptional opportunity because it has a transparent capital
structure with no founders' shares, minimal listing expenses, and the
exclusively success-based remuneration for directors. This sets it apart from
the typical cash shell and preserves cash, making it a more valuable M&A
target. We now look forward to delivering a deal which will create
shareholders' value".

FURTHER INFORAMTION

Strategy

The Company was formed to undertake one or more acquisitions of a majority
interest in a company or business. Any such acquisition undertaken by the
Company will be treated as a reverse takeover for the purposes of Chapter 5 of
the Listing Rules.

The directors intend to search initially for acquisition opportunities in the
technology sector. The theme focus for the prospective acquisition is
megatrends. This includes sectors such as space, artificial intelligence,
machine learning and blockchain technology.

 

Megatrends are powerful, transformative forces that can change the global
economy, business and society. They drive innovation and redefine business
strategies and have a meaningful impact on how we live, how we spend our money
and how we invest. The disrupters in particular have produced dynamic profits
for early-stage shareholders.

 

Placing

The Company has raised £1 million before costs by means of the placing of
100,000,000 Ordinary Shares of the Company at a price of £0.01 each (the
"Placing"). The IPO costs, which amount to £55,955 have been capped at
£50,000 by Peterhouse Capital and as such, post Admission, the Company will
have net proceeds of £950,000. Peterhouse Capital is acting as Sole Broker in
relation to the Placing.

Before purchasing any shares in the Company, persons viewing this announcement
should ensure that they have read and fully understand and accept all
information and risks, which will be set out in the Prospectus if published.

Investor Warrant Instrument

The Company, conditional on Admission, will issue 200,000,000 warrants equally
to all investors who participated in the Placing ("Investor Warrants").

The Investor Warrants give the right to subscribe for one Ordinary Share at
£0.015 per Ordinary Share, a 50% premium to the Issue Price. All Investor
Warrants may be exercised for a period of 5 years from the date of Admission.
The Investor Warrants have an accelerator clause which applies if the Company
announces and signs a sale and purchase agreement within 60 months of
Admission. The Company will serve notice on the Investor Warrant holders to
exercise their Investor Warrants in this event. When the Company serves
notice, any Investor Warrants remaining unexercised after 7 calendar days
following the notification of the notice will be cancelled.

Broker Warrant Instrument

The Company, conditional on Admission and £1m being raised, will issue
5,000,000 warrants (equating to 5 per cent. of the Enlarged Share Capital) to
Peterhouse Capital ("Broker Warrants").

The Broker Warrants are exercisable at £0.015 per Ordinary Share. All Broker
Warrants may be exercised for a period of 5 years from the date of Admission,
and conditional on Admission. The Broker Warrants are non-transferable. The
Broker Warrants have an accelerator clause which applies if the Company
announces and signs a sale and purchase agreement within 60 months of
Admission. The Company will serve notice on the Broker Warrant holders to
exercise their Broker Warrants in this event. When the Company serves notice,
any Broker Warrants remaining unexercised after 7 calendar days following the
notification of the notice will be cancelled.
