Tirupati Graphite plc
('Tirupati' or the 'Company')
Change of Name to Total Graphite Plc
Tirupati Graphite plc (TGR.L), the specialist flake graphite company and
supplier of the critical mineral for the global energy transition, is pleased
to announce that it has resolved for its name to be changed from Tirupati
Graphite Plc to Total Graphite Plc ("Total Graphite"), as part of a Group-wide
corporate rebrand.
By unanimous approval of the board in line with requirements under the the
Articles of Association, this name change follows a Board review which
concluded that revising the name better reflects the refreshed identity and
mission of the Company following the restructuring and ongoing turnaround
started in early 2025. The new brand reflects the Company's intended identity
and mission to become a vertically-integrated, mine to product, producer of
natural flake graphite derived products suitable for energy transition and
industrial applications.
The Board believes that aligning the corporate name with the Group's intended
trading identity and mission will enhance brand clarity, strengthen
recognition across key markets, and support more effective engagement with
both existing and prospective partners. This is expected to support the
Group's long-term growth strategy, including expansion of flake graphite
production in Madagascar, development of its world-class, large scale
Mozambique flake graphite projects and of future value-added production of
products further downstream the flake graphite value chain. This will
ultimately support the need of international customers to secure access to the
critical mineral, flake graphite, and diversify supply chains to underpin and
support sustainable shareholder value creation.
The transition on product packaging will be managed organically, with updates
implemented on a rolling basis as part of normal production cycles. This
approach is expected to ensure minimal operational disruption and no material
incremental cost to the Company.
The Company's TIDM code will remain "TGR". The name change procedure is
underway with the name change certificate expected to be received by Companies
House for processing today. The new Company name is therefore expected to
become effective in the coming days, at which time, a separate announcement
will be made by the Company. The ISIN and SEDOL will remain unchanged, and
trading in the Company's shares will continue uninterrupted. The Company's
legal entity, Board, management team and underlying business operations remain
unchanged.
