Recommended all-share offer for TMT Acquisition plc by Belluscura plc

Offer Update - Offer Unconditional (save for AIM Admission)

Cancellation of Admission of TMT Acquisition Shares to Listing on Official List

and to trading on Main Market

On 19 January 2024, the Board of Belluscura plc ("Belluscura") and the independent director of TMT Acquisition plc ("TMT Acquisition") announced the revised terms of the recommended all share offer to be made by Belluscura for the whole of the issued share capital of TMT Acquisition (the "Offer"), originally announced on 31 October 2023.  The full terms and conditions of the Offer and the procedures for acceptance of the Offer were set out in the offer document dated 19 January 2024 (the "Offer Document").

Belluscura is pleased to confirm that all Conditions of the Offer have now been satisfied or waived, save only for the remaining final Condition being the admission of new Belluscura Shares to be issued in respect of the Offer to trading on AIM ("AIM Admission").

Terms used but not defined in this announcement have the same meaning as set out in the Offer Document.

Acceptances received

Belluscura announced on 5 February 2024 that valid acceptances of the Offer have been received as at 3.00pm (London time) on 2 February 2024 in respect of 24,474,109 TMT Acquisition Shares, representing 88.99 per cent. of the issued share capital of TMT Acquisition. The percentage of TMT Acquisition Shares referred to in this announcement is based upon 27,500,000 TMT Acquisition Shares being in issue at close of business on 5 February 2024 (being the latest practicable date prior to the release of this announcement).

Offer Unconditional (save for AIM Admission)

With valid acceptances of the Offer received in respect of 24,474,109 TMT Acquisition Shares, representing 88.99 per cent. of the issued share capital of TMT Acquisition, and the passing of the Rule 9 Waiver Resolution at the Belluscura General Meeting, as announced on 5 February 2024, Belluscura has waived all other Conditions to the Offer save for Condition 2.1 (in relation to AIM Admission of the New Belluscura Shares issued pursuant to the Offer) as set out in Part A of Appendix 1 to the Offer Document. With the consent of the Panel, all of the Conditions of the Offer (save for AIM Admission) have therefore been satisfied or waived.

Application has been made for AIM Admission of the New Belluscura Shares, which is expected to take place at 8.00 a.m. on 9 February 2024, with AIM Admission of those New Belluscura Shares to be issued pursuant to valid acceptances of the Offer received by that date.  On AIM Admission of such New Belluscura Shares, the Offer will become wholly unconditional.

Cancellation of Admission of TMT Acquisition Shares to Listing on Official List and to trading on Main Market

TMT Acquisition Shares are currently admitted to listing on the Official List (standard segment) and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market.  TMT Acquisition Shareholders should be aware that applications have now been made to cancel the admission of the TMT Acquisition Shares to listing on the Official List (standard segment), subject to the AIM Admission referred to above.  Trading in the TMT Acquisition Shares on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market will cease when the cancellation of the Listing becomes effective.

Notice is hereby given that the cancellation is expected to take effect from 8.00 a.m. on 7 March 2024.

Cancellation of 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 will significantly reduce the liquidity and marketability of all TMT Acquisition Shares in respect of which acceptances of the Offer have not been received.
