Oakley Capital Investments Limited

 

New Listing Category and expected FTSE 250 inclusion

Oakley Capital Investments Limited(1) ("OCI" or the "Company") is pleased to
announce that the Company's ordinary shares ("Shares") will be listed in the
Closed-Ended Investment Funds category of the Official List of the UK
Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA") (the "Official List"). The Company's
Shares are expected to unconditionally trade on the London Stock Exchange's
("LSE") main market for listed securities as an Official List company with
effect from 8:00 am on 1 August 2025.

Subject to confirmation from FTSE Russell, the Company expects to be a
constituent of the FTSE 250 Index, effective from 22 September 2025.

The move to the Official List from the Specialist Fund Segment of the LSE's
main market has been communicated to shareholders over the previous months and
acts as one of the Company's initiatives to enhance its marketability,
increase investors' access to its Shares and continue to deliver strong
shareholder returns.

There will be no change to the Company's investment approach of committing
capital to Oakley Capital Funds to gain exposure to unquoted, profitable,
pan-European businesses with recurring revenues, and across four core sectors:
Technology, Education, Consumer and Business Services. Oakley Capital's
origination capabilities and proven value creation drivers help founders and
management teams accelerate growth and produce consistently superior returns
for investors. The Company has formalised its investment policy in order to
meet the FCA's eligibility criteria for admission to the Official List. The
full text of the investment policy can be found on the Company's website:
www.oakleycapitalinvestments.com (http://www.oakleycapitalinvestments.com) .

The Company's ticker, ISIN, SEDOL and LEI will remain unchanged.

Prior to its admission to the Official List, the Company complied on a
voluntary basis with certain provisions of the UK Listing Rules ("UKLRs").
Following the Company's admission to the Official List, the Company will be
required to comply in full with the applicable provisions of the UKLRs,
including in relation to transactions with related parties, financial
reporting, contents of shareholder circulars and other continuing obligations.
