The RetailBook Offer

 

XP Power (LON: XPP), the developer and manufacturer of critical power control
solutions to the electronics industry is pleased to announce a conditional
retail offer of new ordinary shares in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary
Shares") via RetailBook (the "RetailBook Offer") at an issue price of 975
pence per new Ordinary Share (the "Issue Price"), being a discount of 5.2 per
cent to the closing price of the Company's existing Ordinary Shares on 3 March
2025. The Company is also conducting a placing of new Ordinary Shares to
institutional investors by way of an accelerated bookbuilding process (the
"Placing" and together with the RetailBook Offer, the "Fundraise") as
announced by the Company earlier today. For the avoidance of doubt, the
RetailBook Offer is not part of the Placing.

 

 

The RetailBook Offer is conditional on the new Ordinary Shares to be issued
pursuant to the RetailBook Offer and the Placing being admitted to listing in
the Equity Shares (Commercial Companies) category of the Official List of the
Financial Conduct Authority and admitted to trading on the main market for
listed securities of London Stock Exchange plc ("Admission"). Admission
is expected to take place at 8:00 a.m. on 6 March 2025.

 

The RetailBook Offer will not be completed without the Placing also being
completed.

 

The Company will use the gross proceeds of the Fundraise to strengthen the
balance sheet, providing additional financial flexibility, and complete the
build and fit out of the Group's Malaysia facility.

 

Reason for the RetailBook Offer

 

The Company values its retail shareholder base and believes that it is in the
best interests of shareholders as well as wider stakeholders, to provide
retail investors in the United Kingdom, the opportunity to participate in the
RetailBook Offer in line with the Pre-Emption Group guidelines.

 

The RetailBook Offer is open to eligible investors resident and physically
located in the United Kingdom following release of this announcement. The
RetailBook Offer is expected to close at 12:00 p.m. on 4 March 2025 and may
close earlier at the discretion of the Company or if it is oversubscribed.

 

Investors can participate through RetailBook's partner network of investment
platforms, retail brokers and wealth managers, subject to such partners'
participation. Participating partners include:

 

AJ Bell;

Hargreaves Lansdown; and

interactive investor.

 

Applications for new Ordinary Shares through participating partners can be
made from tax efficient savings vehicles such as ISAs or SIPPs, as well as
GIAs. Investors wishing to apply using their ISA, SIPP or GIA should contact
their investment platform, retail broker or wealth manager for details of
their terms and conditions, process and any relevant fees or charges.

 

The new Ordinary Shares will, when issued, be credited as fully paid and will
rank pari passu in all respects with existing Ordinary Shares including the
right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid
after their date of issue.

 

Brokers wishing to offer their customers access to the RetailBook Offer and
future RetailBook transactions, should contact partners@retailbook.com.

The RetailBook Offer is available to new and existing shareholders of the
Company. To be eligible to participate in the RetailBook Offer, applicants
must be a customer of a participating partner.

Investors should make their own investigations into the merits of an
investment in the Company. Nothing in this announcement amounts to a
recommendation to invest in the Company or amounts to investment, taxation or
legal advice.

 

It should be noted that a subscription for new Ordinary Shares and investment
in the Company carries a number of risks. Investors should take independent
advice from a person experienced in advising on investment in securities such
as the new Ordinary Shares if they are in any doubt.

 

An investment in the Company will place capital at risk. The value of your
investment in the Company and any income from it is not guaranteed and can go
down as well as rise due to stock market and currency movements. When you sell
your investment, you may get back less than the amount originally invested.

 

Neither past performance nor any forecasts should be considered a reliable
indicator of future results.
