Conversion of £1.5m of Convertible Loan Notes

Kromek Group plc (AIM: KMK), a leading developer of radiation and bio-detection technology solutions for the advanced imaging and CBRN detection segments, announces that two holders of the convertible loan notes ("Loan Notes") issued in August 2022 have elected to convert them into new ordinary shares of 1 penny each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at conversion prices of 6.3 pence and 7.1 pence, per Ordinary Share.

Including accrued interest, the Loan Note holders are converting £1,509,211 of debt into 23,639,520 new Ordinary Shares and accordingly these new Ordinary Shares have been issued and allotted by the board.

The issue prices of 6.3 and 7.1 pence per new Ordinary Share represent the closing price of the Company's Ordinary Shares on AIM on 31 January 2024 and 2 February 2024, respectively, being the repayment date of the convertible loan note facilities.

Application has been made for the 23,639,520 Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and dealings are expected to commence on or around 8.00 a.m. on 9 February 2024 ("Admission").

The new Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the existing shares of the Company. Following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will consist of 623,886,340 Ordinary Shares, none of which are held in treasury. Accordingly, the figure of 623,886,340 may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
