Blue Star Capital plc

("Blue Star" or the "Company")

Result of Broker Option

Blue Star Capital plc (AIM: BLU), the investing company with a focus on blockchain, esports and payments, announces that the Broker Option, previously announced on 2 July 2025, closed at 4:30 p.m. on the same day. Axis Capital Markets Limited ("Axis"), the Company's broker, received subscriptions for 555,556 new ordinary shares at the Issue Price of £0.18, raising in total £100,000. Due to strong demand, the Broker Option was oversubscribed, with allocations made on a first come-first served basis.

The funds raised via the Broker Option, and the Placing announced 2 July 2025, together totalling  £1.25 million, will predominantly be used to invest into SatoshiPay by way of a secured loan for SatoshiPay to increase its existing digital asset treasury function including Bitcoin and other crypto currencies.

Admission and Total Voting Rights

As previously announced, the balance to be admitted of the Admission Shares ("Second Tranche"), which includes the Broker Option Shares, comprises 4,583,334 new ordinary shares. Application for Admission is expected to be effective on or around 8:00 a.m. on or around 18 July 2025.

Following Admission of the Second Tranche of 4,583,334 Admission Shares, the enlarged issued share capital of the Company will comprise 47,553,234 ordinary shares, with no shares held in Treasury. Therefore, the total voting rights in the Company following Admission will be 47,553,234 and this figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Capitalised terms in this announcement have the same meaning ascribed to them in the announcement on 2 July 2025.
