Offer update - acceptances level

Notice of Offer closing and compulsory acquisition

On 31 October 2023, Belluscura announced a recommended all share offer for TMT Acquisition (the "Offer"), which become wholly unconditional on 9 February 2024. The full terms of, and conditions to, the Offer and the procedures for acceptance were set out in the offer document dated 19 January 2024 (the "Offer Document"). Terms used but not defined in this announcement have the same meaning as set out in the Offer Document.

Acceptances level

Belluscura is pleased to announce that, as at 3.00 p.m. (London time) on 16 February 2024, valid acceptances of the Offer had been received in respect of 26,619,993 TMT Acquisition Shares, representing 96.79 per cent. of the issued share capital of TMT Acquisition to which the Offer relates.

This total includes acceptances received in respect of:-

(a) 16,805,418 TMT Acquisition Shares, representing, in aggregate, 61.11 per cent. of the issued share capital of TMT Acquisition, which were the subject of irrevocable undertakings and a letter of intent to accept or procure acceptance of the Offer; and

(b) 1,889,059 TMT Acquisition Shares representing 6.87 per cent. of the issued share capital of TMT Acquisition, from persons acting in concert with Belluscura for the purposes of the Offer as described in the Offer Document and whose acceptances have not already been included in the figure in (a) above.

The percentage of the issued share capital of TMT Acquisition referred to in this announcement is based upon 27,500,000 TMT Acquisition Shares being in issue at close of business on 16 February 2024 (being the latest practicable date prior to the release of this announcement).

Notice of Offer closing

Belluscura announces that the Offer will close for acceptance at 5.00 p.m. on 7 March 2024.

Compulsory acquisition

As Belluscura has received acceptances under the Offer in respect of over 90 per cent. in value of the TMT Acquisition Shares to which the Offer relates (as de?ned in the Companies Act 2006) and more than 90 per cent. of the voting rights carried by those TMT Acquisition Shares and the Offer is wholly unconditional, Belluscura intends to exercise its rights in accordance with sections 974 to 991 of the Companies Act 2006 to acquire compulsorily the remaining TMT Acquisition Shares on the same terms as the Offer. Relevant documents will be sent to all non-assenting TMT Acquisition Shareholders shortly. TMT Acquisition Shareholders who do not accept the Offer before it closes will have their TMT Acquisition Shares compulsorily acquired and will need to apply to Belluscura to claim any consideration due to them, in the form of New Belluscura Shares.

As announced on 7 February 2024, applications have been made to cancel the admission of the TMT Acquisition Shares to listing on the Official List (standard segment) and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market. Such trading will cease when the cancellation of the Listing becomes effective. The cancellation is expected to take effect from 8.00 a.m. on 7 March 2024.
