Simultaneously, at 8.00 a.m. today, the Ordinary Shares will be cancelled from trading on AIM.

Brooks Macdonald does not intend to raise any funds or offer any new Ordinary Shares in connection with Admission and Admission will be effected through an introduction of the Company's existing Ordinary Shares.  Following Admission, the Ordinary Shares will continue to be registered with their existing ISIN of GB00B067N833 and SEDOL of B067N833.

"As we join the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange, I want to thank our IFA partners and clients who have placed their trust in our incredible team to provide consistent service, strong returns, and innovation.
