The Company has received valid acceptances from Qualifying Shareholders and applications under the Excess Application Facility in excess of the 641,710,082 Open Offer Shares made available to Shareholders in the Open Offer.

As all available Open Offer Shares have been subscribed for by Qualifying Shareholders, Venus Capital SA will not subscribe for any Open Offer Shares (in the form of Fourth Tranche Subscription Shares).

Notes
Supply@ME Capital plc and its operating subsidiaries 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 programme 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.
