Supply@ME Capital plc

(The "Company", "the Group" or "SYME")

Notice of General Meeting

Companies Act 2006: serious loss of capital which arose in FY2014 when the
Company was listed on AIM with the name Imaginatik plc

Supply@ME Capital plc, the innovative fintech platform (the "Platform") which
provides the Inventory Monetisation© service to manufacturing and trading
companies, gives notice that a general meeting of the Company's shareholders
will be held at the offices of Cicero/amo, HKX Building, 3 Pancras Square,
London, N1C 4AG  at 11 a.m. on 30 December 2021 ("the General Meeting").

The formal Notice of General Meeting and accompanying letter from the Chair of
the Audit Committee, David Bull, are today being sent to all shareholders and
will be available on the Company's website, at www.supplymecapital.com.

Under the Companies Act 2006 (the "Act"), a "serious loss of capital" occurs
once the value of a company's net assets is less than half of its called-up
share capital. In such circumstances, the directors are required, pursuant to
section 656(1) of the Act, to call a general meeting to consider whether any,
and if so what, steps should be taken to deal with the situation.

Having reviewed the historical financial information of the Company, the
current directors believe that the situation giving rise to the serious loss
of capital actually first arose in FY2014 when the Company was listed on AIM
with the name Imaginatik plc. The current directors have attempted to
ascertain whether a general meeting was held by the Company around that time
and have contacted a number of previous directors to obtain further
information. They have concluded from the results of these enquiries that it
is unclear whether the then-directors dealt with the issue as required by the
Act and accordingly are calling the General Meeting.

Accordingly, the board is calling the General Meeting to ensure that this
matter is addressed with shareholders as required by the Act.

Although the directors are calling the General Meeting now, as required by the
Act, shareholders should be aware that the issue is not specifically related
to the Company's current business and should note that:

·    The Company was incorporated in 2000, listed on AIM in 2006, and, for
the first 18 years of its existence was undertaking operations in an unrelated
sector to the Company's current business;

·    In 2019, the Company disposed of its then undertaking to become an
AIM listed cash shell under the name Abal Group plc before undertaking a
reverse takeover of Supply@ME Srl and listing on the London Stock Exchange's
Main Market in March 2020;

·    The position of both its share capital and net assets derives
principally from operational results and corporate transactions undertaken
prior to the Company becoming Supply@ME Capital plc, and before any of the
current directors were appointed to the Board;

·    This is not a new issue which has arisen since the publication of the
annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.

 

Notwithstanding the above, the directors consider that, as shown in recent RNS
announcements, the anticipated growth in revenues will assist in alleviating
the loss of capital and also consider that the "serious loss of capital" does
not itself have any specific bearing on the Company's  financial position or
performance.

The board always welcomes dialogue with shareholders and the General Meeting
will provide a forum for discussions on this issue to take place. Shareholders
will not be asked to vote on any matters at the General Meeting as it is a
discussion forum only.  There will be no other items discussed at the General
Meeting in line with the Act.

 

Notes

Supply@ME Capital PLC and its operating subsidiaries (together the "Group")
provide an innovative fintech platform (the "Platform") for use by
manufacturing and trading companies to access inventory trade solutions
enabling their businesses to generate cashflow, via a non-credit approach and
without incurring debt.  This is achieved by their existing eligible
inventory being added to the Platform and then monetised via purchase by third
party Inventory Funders.  The inventory to be monetised can include warehouse
goods waiting to be sold to end-customers or goods/commodities that are part
of a typical import/ export transaction. SYME announced in August 2021 the
launch of a global Inventory Monetisation program which will be focused on
both inventory in transit monetisation and warehouse goods monetisation. This
program will be focused on creditworthy companies and not those in distress or
otherwise seeking to monetise illiquid inventories.
