Rosebank Industries plc
Results of the Institutional Capital Raise
Rosebank is very pleased to announce that, further to its announcement earlier
today (the "Transaction Announcement"), it has successfully raised gross
proceeds of approximately £1.9 billion via the issue of 575,757,575 New
Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price of £3.30 per share through the
Institutional Capital Raise.
In addition, at the same time as the Institutional Capital Raise, the Rosebank
Directors and certain senior Rosebank employees and associates have subscribed
for approximately £12.3 million, in aggregate, of New Ordinary Shares at the
Issue Price (the "Connected Persons Subscription"), resulting in a cumulative
investment to date of approximately £30.4 million since Rosebank's
incorporation in 2024.
As set out in the Transaction Announcement, Rosebank has entered into two
separate agreements to acquire MW Components and CPM, both US-based
market-leading industrial businesses, for a total consideration of $3.05
billion((1)) (~£2.28billion) on a debt and cash-free basis. Rosebank will
finance the acquisitions of MW Components and CPM through the Institutional
Capital Raise and new debt facilities.
Pursuant to Rule 14 of the AIM Rules, the Company's Existing Ordinary Shares
will remain suspended from trading on AIM until the Admission Document is
published, which is expected to be at or around 7.00 a.m. (London time) on or
around 6 March 2026.
Subject to the approval of the Transaction Resolutions by Rosebank
shareholders at the General Meeting on 23 March 2026, Admission of the New
Ordinary Shares is expected to take place at 8.00 a.m. (London time) on 25
March 2026 and dealings in the New Ordinary Shares are expected to commence at
that time. Subject to the satisfaction or, where appropriate, waiver of the
conditions to the Transaction, it is expected that Transaction Completion will
occur in the second quarter of 2026.
Rosebank intends to complete the admission of its ordinary shares to the
Equity Shares (Commercial Companies) (ESCC) category of the Official List and
to trading on the Main Market for listed securities of the London Stock
Exchange in Q2 2026, irrespective of whether or not the Transaction proceeds,
subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory consents and the publication of
an FCA approved prospectus. If Transaction Completion occurs before Rosebank's
move to the Main Market, in accordance with AIM Rule 14, the admission of the
Ordinary Shares on AIM will be cancelled and application will be made for
readmission of the Enlarged Group to trading on AIM.
Simon Peckham, Rosebank CEO, said:
"We thank our shareholders and lending partners for their ongoing support as
Rosebank builds on the momentum of its first acquisition, ECI, with the
addition of two more businesses, MW Components and CPM, with strong potential
for improvement. Alongside ECI, MW Components and CPM significantly strengthen
our ability to drive sustained profit improvement and deliver attractive
shareholder returns as we continue to execute our proven "Buy, Improve, Sell"
strategy."

anyone other than the Company for providing the protections afforded to their
respective clients nor for giving advice in relation to the Placing and
Admission or any transaction or arrangement referred to in this announcement.
None of the Banks or any of their affiliates, directors or employees owes or

Raise which are not taken up by relevant subscribers, the Banks and their
respective affiliates may for a limited period co-ordinate disposals of such
shares in accordance with applicable law and regulation. Neither the Banks,

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 New Ordinary Shares have been
subject to a product approval process, which has determined that the New
Ordinary Shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail
investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and
eligible counterparties, each as 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" (for the purposes
of the UK Product Governance Requirements) should note that: the price of the
New Ordinary Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their
investment; the New Ordinary Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital
protection; and an investment in the New Ordinary Shares is compatible only
with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, 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 any
contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the
Placing. Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the Target Market
Assessment, the Joint Global Coordinators will only procure investors who meet
the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties.
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 New Ordinary Shares.
Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market
assessment in respect of the New Ordinary Shares and determining appropriate
distribution channels.
Notice to Canadian Investors
The distribution of Placing Shares in Canada is to be made on a private
placement basis only, exempt from the requirement that the Company prepare and
file a prospectus with the relevant Canadian securities regulatory authorities
and only to those who are both "accredited investors" within the meaning of
National Instrument 45-106 - Prospectus Exemptions (or section 73.3(1) of the
Securities Act (Ontario), as applicable) and "permitted clients" within the
meaning of National Instrument 31-103 - Registration Requirements, Exemptions
and Ongoing Registrant Obligations. In connection with any such sale made to
investors in the Placing that are located in Canada, the Placee will be
required to provide a signed investor qualification statement, confirming its
eligibility to participate in the Placing.
The Company is not a "reporting issuer", as such term is defined under
applicable Canadian securities legislation, in any province or territory of
Canada, its securities are not listed on any stock exchange in Canada and
there is currently no public market for the Placing Shares in Canada. The
Company currently does not intend to file a prospectus or similar document
with any securities regulatory authority in Canada qualifying the resale of
the Placing Shares to the public in any province or territory of Canada or
listing its securities on any stock exchange in Canada. Therefore, there will
be no public market in Canada for the Placing Shares and the resale or
transfer of the Placing Shares will be subject to restrictions. Accordingly,
any resale of the Placing Shares of the Company must be made in accordance
with applicable securities laws, and which may require resales to be made in
accordance with exemptions from registration and prospectus requirements.
This announcement and any related marketing materials are provided solely for
informational purposes in connection with a private placement to eligible
Canadian purchasers and is not intended to, and does not, constitute an
"offering memorandum" as such term is defined under Canadian securities
legislation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, securities legislation in certain
provinces or territories of Canada may provide a purchaser with remedies for
rescission or damages if this announcement contains a misrepresentation,
provided that the remedies for rescission or damages are exercised by the
purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of
the purchaser's province or territory. The purchaser should refer to any
applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser's
province or territory for particulars of these rights or consult with a legal
advisor.
This announcement is not, and under no circumstances is it to be construed as,
an advertisement or a public offering of the Placing Shares in Canada. No
securities commission or similar regulatory authority in Canada has reviewed
or in any way expressed an opinion about the Placing Shares and any
representation to the contrary is an offence.
Notice to Israeli Investors
The Placing Shares may not be offered or sold to the public in Israel absent
the publication of a prospectus that has been approved by the Israel
Securities Authority (the "ISA"). No prospectus under the Israeli Securities
Law, 5728-1968 (the "Israeli Securities Law") has been filed with or approved
by the ISA. In Israel, any document related to the Placing (including,
without limitation, this announcement) is being distributed only to, and is
directed only at, and any offer of the Placing Shares is directed only at, (i)
a limited number of persons in accordance with the Israeli Securities Law and
(ii) investors listed in the first addendum to the Israeli Securities Law (the
"Addendum"), consisting primarily of joint investment in trust funds,
provident funds, insurance companies, banks, portfolio managers, investment
advisors, members of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, underwriters, venture
capital funds, entities with equity in excess of NIS 50 million and "qualified
individuals," each as defined in the Addendum (as it may be amended from time
to time), collectively referred to as qualified investors (in each case,
purchasing for their own account or, where permitted under the Addendum, for
the accounts of their clients who are investors listed in the Addendum).
Qualified investors are required to submit written confirmation that they fall
within the scope of the Addendum, are aware of the meaning of same and agree
to it.
