Marwyn Acquisition Company III Limited

(the "Company")

REDEEMABLE SHARE CLASS PLACING PROGRAMME

 

Further to the Company's announcement on 31 March 2022, the Board of Directors
of Marwyn Acquisition Company III Limited (ticker: MAC3) is pleased to
announce that the Company will, subject to the approval of the FCA, today
publish a Prospectus in respect of a 12-month placing programme pursuant to
which the Company has the ability to issue up to 500 million C ordinary
redeemable shares ("C Shares") at an issue price of £1 per C Share in order
to raise up to an aggregate of £500 million.

 -  Marwyn* is a leading creator of listed acquisition companies with a track
    record of investment performance having generated more than £4.7bn of equity
    profits from 11 comparable listed acquisition companies
 -  The Marwyn Acquisition Company model ("MAC Model") is to launch acquisition
    companies with an enhanced corporate structure, to appoint Management Partners
    and subsequently refine the investment scope
 -  A new redeemable share class (C Share) provides an additional method of
    raising up to £500m of capital on an accelerated basis
 -  The key features of the C Share class include ringfencing investors' funds,
    providing full discretion to investors on whether to participate in the
    subsequent business combination and aligning all stakeholders' interests by
    removing the upfront dilution from discounted shares/warrants and any upfront
    promoter fees common to the SPAC model

The principal features of the MAC Model:

 -  Ensure long term alignment and minimise dilution: management and sponsor
    incentives aligned to long term equity performance and no discounted
    shares/warrants or upfront promoter fees
 -  Flexibility in raising capital: the addition of a number of flexible
    mechanisms to raise equity capital from institutional investors
 -  Transactional efficiency: a new transaction process which allows the Company
    to execute a reverse acquisition on a timetable that is comparable with
    private equity

The Directors believe that the ability to issue C Shares where appropriate,
alongside the existing flexibility of the MAC Model to utilise the issuance of
either listed Ordinary shares or unlisted B shares provides the Company with a
competitive advantage in securing attractive acquisition opportunities and
bringing the best executive management back to the UK public markets.

Whilst the Company is not seeking to operate within the existing LSE SPAC
regime, the Directors believe that both the regulatory framework and market
structure of the LSE's standard listed companies remains very supportive of
our strategy.

James Corsellis, Director, commented: "Today's launch of the MAC3 prospectus
marks the next step in creating a series of acquisition companies that fulfil
the requirements of both entrepreneurial business leaders and market
participants. Ever since we introduced our innovative structure for
acquisition companies, we have received extremely positive feedback and
interest in working with us. There is a strong cohort of talented company
executives who want to grow and transform businesses within a listed markets
context, and through the MAC model we have the solution for them. We look
forward to identifying the right management teams and businesses to create
real and aligned value over the medium and long term."

A copy of the Prospectus will, when published, be available on the Company's
website: www.marwynac3.com/investors/prospectus
(http://www.marwynac3.com/investors/prospectus)   and at the National

condition, prospects and dividend policies of the Company and the assets in

Information to Distributors:

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements of Chapter 3 of
the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the
"UK Product Governance Requirements") and/or any equivalent requirements
elsewhere to the extent determined to be applicable, and disclaiming all and
any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any
"manufacturer" (for the purposes of the UK Product Governance Requirements)
may otherwise have with respect thereto, the C Shares have been subject to a
product approval process, which has determined that the C Shares are: (i)
compatible with an end target market of investors who meet the criteria of
professional clients and eligible counterparties, and not retail clients, each
defined in Chapter 3 of the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook; and
(ii) eligible for distribution through all permitted distribution channels
(the "Target Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the Target Market
Assessment, Distributors should note that: the price of the C Shares may
decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the C Shares
offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection beyond the terms of the
Trust Account which apply prior to any Business Acquisition; and an investment
in C Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed
income or capital protection (beyond the terms of the Trust Account which
apply prior to any Business Acquisition), who (either alone or in conjunction
with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be
able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market
Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal
or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Placing Programme.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute:
(a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of
Chapters 9A or 10A respectively of the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business
Sourcebook; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to
invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to
the C Shares, the Ordinary Shares or the C Warrants.

Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market
assessment in respect of the C Shares and determining appropriate distribution
channels.
