Valid proxy instructions were received in respect of 664,456,630 Ordinary
Shares representing approximately 55.05% of the issued share capital of the
Company.
The total number of Ordinary Shares in issue as at 15 December 2025 is
1,207,032,781.
The full text of the Resolutions proposed and passed at the General Meeting
can be found in the circular of the Company containing, inter alia, the notice
of General Meeting, which was published on 14 November 2025 (the "Circular")
and is available on the Company's website here. Capitalised terms used but not
defined in this announcement shall have the same meaning given to such terms
in the Circular.
AIM Cancellation
Following approval by Shareholders at the General Meeting, the admission of
the Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM will be cancelled. The Cancellation is
expected to take place at 7:00 a.m. on 23 December 2025 and, accordingly, the
last day of dealings in Ordinary Shares on AIM is expected to be 22 December
2025.
Re-registration as a private company
In accordance with the passing of Resolution 2, the Company will re-register
as a private limited company and adopt new articles of association, which is
expected to take place by 12 January 2026.
Matched Bargain Facility
The Company has made arrangements for the Matched Bargain Facility to assist
Shareholders to trade in the Ordinary Shares from the date of Cancellation.
The Matched Bargain Facility will be provided by J P Jenkins, which is an
appointed representative of Prosper Capital LLP, which is authorised and
regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority. Under the Matched Bargain
Facility, Shareholders or persons wishing to acquire or dispose of Ordinary
Shares will be able to leave an indication with J P Jenkins, through their
stockbroker, of the number of Ordinary Shares that they are prepared to buy or
sell and the price at which they are prepared to do so. In the event that J P
Jenkins is able to match that order with an opposite sell or buy instruction,
it would contact both parties and then effect the bargain (trade). Upon the
Cancellation becoming effective, the Matched Bargain Facility will commence,
and details will be made available to Shareholders on the Company's website
(www.polarean.com (http://www.polarean.com) ). It should be noted, however,
that there is no guarantee as to the liquidity such a facility would afford
the Ordinary Shares post Cancellation.
Shareholders will continue to be able to hold their shares in uncertificated
form (i.e. in CREST) and should check with their existing stockbroker whether
they are willing or able to trade in unquoted shares.
The Matched Bargain Facility is intended to operate for a minimum of twelve
months after Cancellation. The current intention is that it will continue
beyond that time, but Shareholders should note it could be withdrawn at short
notice and therefore inhibit Shareholders' ability to trade the Ordinary
Shares. The provision of a matched bargain facility will be kept under review
by the Board and, in determining whether to continue to offer a matched
bargain facility, the Company shall consider expected (and communicated)
shareholder demand for such a facility, as well as the composition of the
Company's register of members and the costs to the Company and shareholders.
The indicative pricing for the Ordinary Shares, as well as the transaction
history, will be available on the JP Jenkins website at https://jpjenkins.com/
(https://jpjenkins.com/) .
