("CAP-XX" or "the Company")

Appointment of CTO and Technology Update

The Board of CAP-XX Limited, a world leader in the design and manufacture of supercapacitors and energy management systems, is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr Alex Bilyk as Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and to update the market on technology developments at the Company.

Appointment of Chief Technology Officer (CTO)

Dr Alex Bilyk has been appointed as Chief Technology Officer of the Company in a non-Board capacity, having previously been Head of R&D.

Alex completed his undergraduate degree with honours in Chemistry at the University of Western Australia. He then pursued his PhD in Chemistry at the University of Sydney following which he returned to the University of Western Australia for a three-year post-doctoral project, which included a prestigious three-month visiting scientist position at the University of Strasbourg.

Alex brings a wealth of experience in supercapacitors, synthetic chemistry, polymer chemistry, surface modification, material synthesis, and computational chemistry. His diverse expertise is complemented by a deep passion for industrial research and a strong commitment to the creation, protection, and management of intellectual property. As a key player at CAP-XX for the last ten years, Alex has been instrumental in driving innovation in the field of energy storage.

Technology and Product Development Update

Further to the Company's previous announcements and alongside its suite of existing products, CAP-XX is pleased to provide an update on two new important products that continue to be developed and have the potential to make a significant impact on the supercapacitor industry as well as opening new markets for CAP-XX. The first is the DMH Prismatic Series which are pouch supercapacitors, less than 500 microns thick, developed for the consumer electronics industry. The second is the SMT Cylindrical Series, a class of cylindrical supercapacitors utilising the Company's unique surface mount technology ("SMT"). This product can go throw a reflow oven; transforming the industry which currently uses wave or hand soldering.

Progress with the DMH Prismatic Series

CAP-XX is pleased to report that samples are now ready for customer evaluation. In tandem with this, the Company will continue to commission production equipment, including downstream equipment for inline device testing for quality control.

CAP-XX has been commissioning a new production line for the manufacture of very thin supercapacitors that are less than 500 microns thick. This new product, branded the DMH series and measuring 20mm x 20mm x 0.4mm, is far thinner than any other supercapacitor currently available on the market. The DMH supercapacitor will be a unique offering to customers, providing a thin form factor whilst maintaining extremely high-power performance. The DMH cells connected in series can provide

Frasers Group partnership with THG

Monday 24 June - Frasers Group plc ("the Group") and THG plc ("THG") have entered a multi-year partnership that will mutually enhance retail operations at both groups, aligning with Frasers Group's Elevation Strategy.

The partnership includes the integration of customer credit and loyalty proposition, Frasers Plus into THG's Ingenuity platform, benefiting customers across THG retail sites. This marks the first Frasers Plus partnership with an external partner.

Frasers Group will also benefit from THG's courier management services to drive the efficiency and performance of Frasers' Australian fulfilment and logistics operations, supporting the Group's international expansion.

Frasers Group will also be acquiring THG's luxury brand portfolio including Coggles, strengthening its Premium and Luxury portfolio, alongside FLANNELS.

Michael Murray, CEO Frasers Group said: "Today we are pleased to announce a new strategic partnership with THG, which includes launching our consumer credit and loyalty proposition, Frasers Plus across the THG Ingenuity platform. This is an exciting step towards our Frasers Plus ambitions as we look to expand its offering across additional third-party platforms. We are looking forward to working with the THG team and unlocking further benefits for both businesses."

Matthew Moulding, CEO of THG commented: "We are delighted to be partnering with Frasers Group across a broad range of initiatives, in particular bringing Frasers Plus to consumers shopping with Ingenuity clients, as well as to our own retail sites including Lookfantastic, Cult Beauty and Myprotein. Our luxury brand portfolio including Coggles has grown from a standing start eleven years ago, and we are eager to watch it develop further as an Ingenuity client. The success of Coggles has only been possible through the hard work and dedication of THG's luxury team, to whom we all want to extend our thanks and gratitude."

Investments

Kelso has an increasingly balanced but concentrated pool of four core investments and will provide a more detailed market update in July 2024, following our June interim period end.

This month, we increased our holding in NCC Group Plc, the cybersecurity and software escrow business, to 2.5m shares with a total average in price of 119.5p. We were encouraged by NCC's software escrow division's capital markets day last month and look forward to their cyber security division's capital markets day in June. We believe the intrinsic value of the business units is considerably greater than the current market capitalisation.

Kelso's largest holding is THG Plc ("THG"), which we believe trades at a significant discount to its sum of the parts value. Specifically, we believe that enough credit has not been given to some of the brand value that it has been building on a global scale. The brands are within two growth sectors, Nutrition and Beauty. The Nutrition sector has benefited from larger companies who have been overly focussed on sugar and chocolate products, diversifying into healthier options as the world becomes more health conscious. Some of the world's most valuable brands in the Food, Beverage and Beauty sectors trade at high single-digit revenue multiples, whereas the entirety of THG trades on just over 0.5x revenue. We believe that MyProtein, MyVegan and MyVitamin specifically merit increased values with revenue at $875m dollars last year and are now extending their product ranges and geographical footprint, partly through global third-party partnerships. Additionally, we believe that the Beauty portal brands of Lookfantastic, Cult Beauty and Dermstore, with 8.5m active customers and over $1.0bn revenue, are very valuable assets in the global beauty arena. These portals sit alongside THG's own beauty brands.

On 21 May 2024, Kelso announced its intention to vote against Resolution 5, the re-election of the Chair, at the upcoming THG AGM. Kelso strongly believes that shareholder value would be significantly enhanced if THG were to fulfil its commitment to move to the Premium List from the Standard List, as promised on 18 October 2021, and provide clarification of the Group's future structure.

Whay's interesting is that they are owned by Britvic,
