RC365 Holding Plc

("RC365" or the "Company")

Issue of Convertible Loan Note

RC365 Holding Plc ("RC365"), a company focusing on payment gateway solutions
and IT support, is pleased to announce that it has entered into an unsecured
Convertible Loan Note ("CLN") with Mill End Capital Limited (the "Lender") for
up to £4 million. The net proceeds of the unsecured loan will be used for the
continuing development of the Company's existing operations with particular
focus on expanding operations in Malaysia, Japan and the UK.

The First Tranche of the CLN comprises £600,000, the Second Tranche of the
CLN comprises a further £1.4 million, which can be drawn at RC365's election
and subject to shareholder approval by 30 April 2024, and any Further Tranche
shall be at the written request of RC365 and discretion of the Lender,
provided that the aggregate amount issued pursuant to this CLN shall not
exceed £4 million.

The resulting number of Ordinary Shares to be issued shall be calculated at a
price per Ordinary Share ("Conversion Price") equal to 80% of the lowest
closing volume-weighted average price ("VWAP") of an Ordinary Share over five
trading days ending prior to the date of service of the Conversion Notice.

Other key terms of the CLN:

·    The CLN shall not bear interest and no interest shall be payable to
the Noteholder in respect of them;

·    The Ordinary Shares arising on conversion of the Notes shall be
credited as fully paid and rank pari passu with Ordinary Shares of the same
class in issue on the date of their issue and shall carry the right to receive
all dividends and other distributions declared after such date;

·    The Company may at any time on ten Business Days' prior, and with
written notice to the Noteholder, redeem all (but not part) of the CLN then
outstanding by paying to the Noteholder in immediately available cleared funds
an amount equal to 120% of the Notes then outstanding;

·    The CLN in issue shall be immediately redeemed if the Company fail to
publish and, where applicable, file in accordance with applicable law and
regulation any audited annual report and accounts or interim financial
statement;

·    The Company shall promptly convene a general meeting, at which the
Directors will put to the shareholders of the Company resolutions, to
authorise the Directors to allot and issue Ordinary Shares and to dis-apply
statutory pre-emption provisions so that the Directors are authorised to allot
at least (in aggregate) 30,000,000 Ordinary Shares (or the equivalent amount
of nominal capital in the event of a share capital reorganisation of any kind)
for cash other than on a pre-emption basis.

·    The Company will maintain sufficient share capital and shareholder
authority to permit the directors of the Company to issue all Ordinary Shares
arising pursuant to the terms of this CLN. Furthermore, if and to the extent
at any time the Company has insufficient headroom to issue all Ordinary Shares
arising pursuant to the terms of this CLN without the publication of a
prospectus approved by the FCA, the Company shall promptly prepare and have
approved by the FCA a duly-prepared prospectus relating to the issue and
Admission of such Ordinary Shares.

Authority to issue Ordinary Shares

As per the announcement made on 12 September 2023, the Company has authority
to issue and allot up to 6,276,730  Ordinary Shares free of statutory
pre-emption rights. The Company intends to provide notice of a General Meeting
