Proposed Placing of approximately 10 million ordinary shares in AOTI Inc. ("AOTI" or the "Company")

Certain pre-IPO shareholders (the "Sellers") announce their intention to sell, in aggregate, approximately 10 million ordinary shares (the "Placing Shares") in the capital of AOTI, representing approximately 9.4 per cent. of the Company's existing issued ordinary share capital, to eligible institutional investors (the "Placing").

The price per Placing Share will be determined by way of an accelerated bookbuilding process to institutional investors. The Placing is subject to demand, price and prevailing market conditions. The Sellers reserve the right to sell additional Placing Shares subject to demand. The bookbuilding period will commence with immediate effect following this announcement and may close at any time on short notice. The results of the Placing will be announced as soon as practicable after the closing of the bookbuilding process.

In the context of the Placing, any of the ordinary shares in AOTI held by the Sellers which are not sold in the Placing will be subject to a 6-month lock-up undertaking (subject to waiver by the Sole Bookrunner).

The Sellers have appointed Peel Hunt LLP ("Peel Hunt" or the "Sole Bookrunner") as Sole Bookrunner on the Placing.

AOTI is not party to the Placing and will not receive any proceeds from the Placing.

No public offering of securities is being made in the United States or in any other jurisdiction.

The Placing has not been approved or disapproved by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, any state securities commission in the United States or any US regulatory authority, nor have any of the foregoing authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the Placing, or the accuracy or adequacy of this announcement. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the United States.

Members of the general public are not eligible to participate in the Placing.

A communication that a transaction is or that the book is "covered" (i.e. indicated demand from investors in the book equals or exceeds the amount of the securities being offered) is not any indication or assurance that the book will remain covered or that the transaction and securities will be fully distributed by the Sole Bookrunner.
