Appointment of Halfspace Co-Founder as Company CEO

 

Pri0r1ty Intelligence Group PLC (https://www.pri0r1ty.com/) (AIM: PR1, OTC:
PRIAF), the AI, data and marketing services group, is pleased to announce the
appointment today of Rory Maxwell as Chief Executive Officer.

Rory was appointed as an executive director of the Company on 3 July 2025,
following Pri0r1ty's acquisition of Halfspace Limited ("Halfspace"), a
London-based sports data and marketing business which he co-founded.

Rory's career encompasses international marketing roles with IMG Media, agency
giant WPP (with global roles at MediaCom and GroupM), and Oakwell Sports
Advisory. He has worked in a commercial capacity across many premium top tier
international sports rights holders, and with some of the largest brands,
advertisers, and digital media companies on an international basis. Rory
established Halfspace with his co-founders Sanjit Atwal and Stephen Schindler
in 2018 and, as CEO, has led its growth to become an award-winning data
technology and marketing services business consistently growing revenues and
delivering groundbreaking data driven solutions for clients including many of
the largest sports rights holders, digital media and scale-up technology
businesses in the UK and globally.

Rory succeeds James Sheehan, who has stepped down as Chief Executive Officer
and as a director of the Company at the same time.

 

As the Company focuses on accelerating its product roadmap across the group,
and driving client growth in the core sectors, the Board is expanding its
operational expertise at the executive level that will underpin the focus of
the Company's future growth. Accordingly, alongside the appointment of Rory as
CEO, it is the intention of the Board to appoint, subject to customary
nominated adviser due diligence, Daniel Gee as a director of the Company in
the role of Chief Technology Officer. Daniel is an Executive Director of
wholly owned subsidiary Pri0r1ty Ai Ltd and a co-founder of Pri0r1ty
Intelligence Group. Daniel brings a wealth of experience in scaling revenue
generating technology as a full stack developer, advisory board member and
C-suite executive across DeFi, FinTech and RegTech since 2018.

Marcus Yeoman, Chairman of Pri0r1ty, commented:

 

"The Company, enlarged by the acquisition of Halfspace this year, is
implementing new product and revenue operations that naturally suit Rory
Maxwell and his considerable commercial experience.  We also look forward to
Daniel Gee joining the Board in due course to help drive the enlarged
business' product roadmap in which he already plays such a central role.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank James Sheehan for his valuable
contribution to the business, in particular for his key role in delivering the
Company's listing on the London Stock Exchange AIM Market at the end of last
year, which created a platform to launch our AI products to a wider customer
base and execute what we believe will turn out to be a successful acquisition
of Halfspace."

Rory Maxwell, CEO of Pri0r1ty, commented:

 

"I am extremely excited to lead this very talented team across the enlarged
Pri0r1ty and Halfspace business as we implement a product roadmap supported by
dedicated sales and client focused functions that will bring best-in class AI
and data management solutions to existing and future clients."

Nominated Adviser Statement

Beaumont Cornish Limited ("Beaumont Cornish"), is the Company's Nominated
Adviser and is authorised and regulated in the United Kingdom by the Financial
Conduct Authority. Beaumont Cornish's responsibilities as the Company's
Nominated Adviser, including a responsibility to advise and guide the Company
on its responsibilities under the AIM Rules for Companies and AIM Rules for
Nominated Advisers, are owed solely to the London Stock Exchange. Beaumont
Cornish is not acting for and will not be responsible to any other person for
providing the protections afforded to customers of Beaumont Cornish nor for
advising them in relation to the transaction and arrangements described in the
announcement or any matter referred to in it.

Important Notice:

Pri0r1ty Intelligence Group PLC (the Company) will hold a proportion of its
treasury reserves and surplus cash in Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a type of
cryptocurrency or cryptoasset. Whilst the Board of Directors of the Company
considers holding Bitcoin to be in the best interests of the Company, the
Board remains aware that the FCA considers investment in Bitcoin to be high
risk. At the outset, it is important to note that an investment in the Company
is not an investment in Bitcoin, either directly or by proxy. However, the
Board of Directors of the Company consider Bitcoin to be an appropriate store
of value and growth for the Company's reserves and, accordingly, the Company
is materially exposed to Bitcoin.

 

The Company is neither authorised nor regulated by the FCA. And
cryptocurrencies (such as Bitcoin) are unregulated in the UK. The value of
Bitcoin can go down as well as up, and therefore the value of the Company's
Bitcoin holdings can fluctuate. The Company may not be able to realise its
Bitcoin exposure for the same as it paid in the first place or even for the
value the Company ascribes to its Bitcoin positions due to these market
movements.

 

Nevertheless, the Board of Directors of the Company has taken the decision to
invest in Bitcoin, and in doing so is mindful of the special risks Bitcoin
presents to the Company's financial position. These risks include (but are not
limited to): (i) the value of Bitcoin can be highly volatile, with value
dropping as quickly as it can rise. Investors in Bitcoin must be prepared to
lose all money invested in Bitcoin; (ii) the Bitcoin market is largely
unregulated. There is a risk of losing money due to risks such as
cyber-attacks, financial crime and counterparty failure; (iii) the Company may
not be able to sell its Bitcoin at will. The ability to sell Bitcoin depends
on various factors, including the supply and demand in the market at the
relevant time. Operational failings such as technology outages, cyber-attacks
and comingling of funds could cause unwanted delay; and (iv) cryptoassets are
characterised in some quarters by high degrees of fraud, money laundering and
financial crime. In addition, there is a perception in some quarters that
cyber-attacks are prominent which can lead to theft of holdings or ransom
demands. The Board of Directors of the Company does not subscribe to such a
negative view, especially in relation to Bitcoin. However, prospective
investors in the Company are encouraged to do your own research before
investing.
