KRM22 PLC

("KRM22", the "Company" or the "Group")

Proposed Placing and Subscription to raise £9.2 million at a price of 40 pence per share

KRM22 plc (AIM: KRM.L), the technology and software investment company, with a particular focus on risk management in capital markets, is pleased to announce that it proposes to raise £9.2 million via a placing of, and subscription for, new ordinary shares of 10 pence each in the capital of the Company at the Issue Price of 40 pence per share.

Use of proceeds from the Fundraising

With the Company's applications predominantly used by Exchange Traded Derivatives ("ETD") clients, the net proceeds of the Fundraising will be used to fund the expansion of the existing suite of applications beyond the ETD space into Equities, Fixed Income, FX and Crypto verticals to offer multi-asset risk management solutions to the capital markets industry, provide sales and marketing resource to further drive growth in Annual Recurring Revenue ("ARR"), repay the £5.7 million debt facility with Trading Technologies and cover general working capital needs.

Background to and reasons for the Fundraising

FY 2025 Current Trading

The Company has continued to make good progress in 2025, increasing the value of its ARR from £6.6m at the end of FY 2024 to £7.2m at the end of June 2025, further increasing to £7.4m at the time of release of the Company's FY25 Interim Results announced on 17 September 2025 and, as at the date of this announcement, ARR is now £7.5m.

As outlined in the FY25 Interim Results, the Company reported results for the six-month period ended 30 June 2025 of:

·      ARR: £7.2m (H1 2024: £6.0m) - growth of 20%;

o  New contracted ARR in the period of £1.0m (H1 2024: £1.1m)

o  Total ARR attributable to the relationship with Trading Technologies of £0.9m (H1 2024: £0.8m)

·      Total revenue recognised: of £3.6m (H1 2024: £3.3m) - growth of 10.6%;

·      Adjusted EBITDA profit of £0.4m (H1 2024: £0.3m); and

·      Cash balance as at 30 June 2025: £1.4m (FY 2024: £1.0m).

Since the end of June 2025, ARR has further increased to £7.5m with new ARR in the year to date generated from cross sales opportunities to existing customers for the Limits Manager, Risk Manager and Market Surveillance applications, contractual price increases included existing customers migrating to Risk Manager from the legacy At-Trade application.  Customer churn has continued to be managed to an acceptable level with known terminations in the year to date from clients who have terminated their use of one application, whilst further investing in their use of other Company applications.

The Company continues to have a strong pipeline of sales opportunities for the Limits Manager and Risk Manager applications, which it expects to close by the end of the year to achieve current market expectations.

As announced on 19 June 2023 the Company entered into an agreement for a £5.0m convertible loan facility arranged by Trading Technologies, the Company's largest shareholder (the "Facility").

Trading Technologies was considered a "related party" as defined under the AIM Rules as a result of its substantial shareholding of 25.0 per cent. in the Company at the date the Facility was entered into. The provision of the Facility by Trading Technologies therefore constituted a related party transaction for the purposes of Rule 13 of the AIM Rules.

On 23 December 2024, the Company announced that an interest repayment date had been deferred in relation to the Facility. Trading Technologies agreed that the interest payment that was due on 31 December 2024 would be due for payment on 31 March 2025.

On 1 April 2025, the Company announced that the Company and Trading Technologies had agreed to further amend the terms of the Facility to defer the interest payments that would have been due by the end of March 2025 to the end of April 2025.

On 29 April 2025 the Company announced that the terms of the Facility, including the interest rate, interest repayment dates, and revenue covenants, had been amended in order to conserve cash for the Company. The Facility amount was also reduced by £0.5 million, decreasing from £5.0 million to a capped and fully drawn amount of £4.5 million. The interest rate was marginally increased by 0.25 per cent., rising from 5.50 per cent. to 5.75 per cent. over the secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR"), and a resulting minimum aggregate rate of 9.50 per cent. (previously at 9.25 per cent.). All interest payments were deferred to 30 June 2026 (previously a balloon interest payment to the end of April 2025 and calendar quarterly interest payments thereafter). The revised interest rate became effective from 28 April 2025 and was not retrospectively applied. Additionally, the future revenue covenant was loosened and discounted in favour of the Company, providing the Company with additional flexibility.

As at the date of this Announcement the current total amount due to be repaid to Trading Technologies is £5.7m.

Details of the Placing

The timing for the close of the Accelerated Bookbuild ("ABB") and allocation of the Placing Shares shall be at the absolute discretion of Cavendish, in consultation with the Company. The final number of Placing Shares to be issued pursuant to the Placing will be agreed by Cavendish and the Company at the close of the ABB. The result of the Placing will be announced as soon as practicable thereafter.

In accordance with the terms of the Placing Agreement between the Company and Cavendish, the Placing is conditional upon, amongst other things, the Placing Agreement not having been terminated in accordance with its terms prior to each Admission.

Cavendish is acting as nominated adviser, broker and bookrunner in connection with the Placing. No part of the Placing or the Subscription is underwritten.

Appendix IV to this Announcement (which forms part of this Announcement) contains the detailed terms and conditions of the Placing.

Details of the Subscription

Certain Directors, an employee of the Company and a substantial Shareholder, outlined below, have agreed to subscribe for an aggregate amount of £3.26 million of Subscription Shares at the Issue Price pursuant to the Subscription.

The Subscription Shares will not be subject to clawback and are conditional upon, inter alia, the Resolutions necessary to issue the Subscription Shares being passed at the General Meeting and Admission.

If any of the conditions to the Subscription are not satisfied, the Subscription Shares will not be issued and any monies received from the Subscribers will be returned to them.

Pursuant to the KT Subscription Agreement, Keith Todd has agreed to subscribe for the KT Subscription Shares in consideration for an undertaking to pay the aggregate Issue Price on or before 31 December 2025. Payment under the other Subscription Agreements is due prior to Admission.

The Fundraising Shares will be issued free of all liens, charges and encumbrances and will, when issued and fully paid, rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's then existing Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after the date of their issue.

It is anticipated the Fundraising Shares will represent approximately 39 per cent. of the Enlarged Share Capital. The Issue Price of 40 pence per Fundraising Share represents a discount of approximately 3.61 per cent. to the closing mid-market price of 41.50 pence per Ordinary Share on 13 October 2025, being the last trading day immediately preceding the date of this Announcement.

Details of the TT Subscription

On 17 June 2023 the Company entered into an agreement with Trading Technologies for a £5.0m convertible loan facility. The Facility was for a maximum of £5.0m and was secured on certain Group assets and guaranteed by certain members of the Group.

The interest rate payable on debt drawn down under the Facility was the aggregate of the SOFR average and a margin of 5.5 per cent. provided that the minimum amount per annum of such aggregate percentage rate per annum shall be 9.25 per cent. Interest was payable quarterly in arrears, although the Company may defer interest payments for the initial 18 months, with the total deferred interest in the initial interest period being paid in two equal instalments on the calendar quarters ending after the 18th and 21st month anniversary of the Facility.

Pursuant to the terms of the Facility (as amended by a side letter dated 1 July 2023), Trading Technologies could elect to convert the Facility into up to a maximum number of 10,869,565 new Ordinary Shares at any time at a conversion price of £0.46 per new Ordinary Share. The Directors were granted the authority to allot the Ordinary Shares that could be issued pursuant to these terms at a general meeting of the Company held on 27 July 2023.

The Company and Trading Technologies amended the terms of the Facility with interest payments originally due for payment in December 2024 and March 2025 deferred until the end of April 2025 and ultimately until 30 June 2026, which aligns with the end of the term of the Facility. The Facility amount was reduced by £0.5 million, decreasing from £5.0 million to a capped and fully drawn amount of £4.5 million. The interest rate marginally increased by 0.25 per cent., rising from 5.50 per cent. to 5.75 per cent. over SOFR, and a resulting minimum aggregate rate of 9.50 per cent. The revised interest rate was effective from the date of signing the revised agreement, being 28 April 2025, and does not apply retrospectively.

Pursuant to the TT Subscription Agreement, Trading Technologies and the Company have agreed to set-off the aggregate subscription amount payable by Trading Technologies in respect of the TT Subscription, being £2,362,686, by reducing the same amount from the outstanding balance of the Facility. The Company intends to repay the remaining balance of the Facility out of the proceeds of the Fundraising.

The TT Subscription Agreement also gives Trading Technologies the right to appoint one director to the board of the Company for so long as it holds an interest in Ordinary Shares representing 20 per cent. or more of the Company's issued share capital.

Trading Technologies International Inc has conditionally agreed to participate in the Fundraising by way of subscription for 5,906,715 New Ordinary Shares. Following completion of the Fundraising, its resultant shareholding will be 25.01 % of the Enlarged Share Capital.

As Trading Technologies International Inc holds more than 10% of the Company's voting rights, its participation in the Fundraising will be deemed a related party transaction pursuant to Rule 13 of the AIM Rules.

Participation by Directors

The following Directors of the Company have also conditionally agreed to participate in the Subscription in the amounts set out below:

^* The Resultant Total Shareholding and Resultant Percentage of Enlarged Share Capital shown against Keith Todd's name includes Ordinary Shares held by his pension and persons closely associated with him.

The participation of the Directors in the Subscription is also deemed a related party transaction pursuant to Rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies.

Fair and Reasonable Statement

The Directors are independent of the Trading Technologies International, Inc. related party transaction and having consulted with Cavendish, the Company's nominated adviser, consider the terms of the Subscription and the participation by Trading Technologies International Inc to be fair and reasonable insofar as the shareholders of the Company are concerned.

On the basis that all the Directors of the Company are participating in the Subscription, the Company's nominated adviser, Cavendish Capital Markets Limited, has considered the terms of the Directors' Subscription and has deemed that the terms of the Directors' Subscription are fair and reasonable insofar as the Shareholders are concerned.

Circular / General Meeting and Admission

The Company will require further share authorities to allot the Fundraising Shares. Accordingly, the Placing and Subscription are each conditional, inter alia, upon Shareholders approving the Resolutions at the General Meeting of the Company, expected to be held at the offices of Cavendish, One Bartholomew Close, London, EC1A 7BL at 10.30 a.m. on 5 November 2025. A Circular containing a notice of General Meeting will be published and notified to Shareholders in due course. The Circular and notice of General Meeting, once published, will be made available on the Company's website at https://krm22.com/investors/.

Subject to the passing of the Resolutions, Admission is expected to occur at 8.00 a.m. on or around 6 November 2025 (or such later time and/or date as Cavendish and the Company may agree, not being later than 20 November 2025).

Commenting on the fundraising, CEO of KRM22, Dan Carter, said:

"I am delighted that we have been supported by new and existing shareholders to complete a fundraise that supports KRM22's next phase of growth.  Taking our suite of applications into new asset classes is an exciting opportunity for KRM22 and will help us achieve our goal of becoming a market leader in risk management software for capital markets."

Details of the Placing Agreement and the Placing Shares

Cavendish has today entered into a Placing Agreement with the Company under which, on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the Placing Agreement, Cavendish, as an agent for and on behalf of the Company, has agreed to use its reasonable endeavours to procure Placees for the Placing Shares at the Issue Price of 40 pence per Placing Share.

The Placing Shares (together with all other Fundraising Shares) will, when issued, be subject to the Articles and credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the Existing Ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid in respect of such ordinary shares after the date of issue of the Placing Shares (together with all other Fundraising Shares and Conversion Shares).

Application for admission to trading

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for Admission of the Placing Shares (together with all other Fundraising Shares) to trading on AIM.

Admission is conditional, inter alia, upon the Placing Agreement not having been terminated and becoming unconditional in respect of the Placing Shares and upon the passing of the Resolutions by the shareholders of the Company at the General Meeting.

Subject to the passing of the Resolutions, it is expected that Admission will take place no later than 8.00 a.m. on 6 November 2025 and that dealings in the Placing Shares (together with all other Fundraising Shares) on AIM will commence at the same time.

Principal terms of the Placing

Registration and Settlement

If Placees are allocated any Placing Shares in the Placing they will be sent a form of confirmation or electronic confirmation by Cavendish, as soon as it is able which will confirm the number of Placing Shares allocated to them, the Issue Price and the aggregate amount owed by them to Cavendish.

Each Placee will be deemed to agree that it will do all things necessary to ensure that delivery and payment is completed as directed by Cavendish in accordance with either the standing CREST or certificated settlement instructions which they have in place with Cavendish.

Settlement of transactions in the Placing Shares (ISIN: GB00BFM6WC61) following Admission will take place within the CREST system, subject to certain exceptions. Settlement through CREST is expected to take place on 6 November 2025 unless otherwise notified by Cavendish and Admission is expected to occur no later than 8.00 a.m. on 6 November 2025 unless otherwise notified by Cavendish. Settlement will be on a delivery versus payment basis. However, in the event of any difficulties or delays in the admission of the Placing Shares to CREST or the use of CREST in relation to the Placing, the Company and Cavendish may agree that the Placing Shares should be issued in certificated form. Cavendish reserves the right to require settlement of the Placing Shares, and to deliver the Placing Shares to Placees, by such other means as they deem necessary if delivery or settlement to Placees is not practicable within the CREST system or would not be consistent with regulatory requirements in a Placee's jurisdiction.

Interest is chargeable daily on payments not received from Placees on the due date in accordance with the arrangements set out above, in respect of either CREST or certificated deliveries, at the rate of 2 percentage points above prevailing base rate of the Bank of England as determined by Cavendish.

Each Placee agrees that if it does not comply with these obligations, Cavendish may sell, charge by way of security (to any funder of Cavendish) or otherwise deal with any or all of their Placing Shares on their behalf and retain from the proceeds, for Cavendish's own accounts and benefit, an amount equal to the aggregate amount owed by the Placee plus any interest due and any costs and expenses properly incurred by Cavendish as a result of the Placee's failure to comply with its obligations. The relevant Placee will, however, remain liable for any shortfall below the amount owed by it and for any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax (together with any interest or penalties) which may arise upon the sale of their Placing Shares on their behalf. Legal and/or beneficial title in and to any Placing Shares shall not pass to the relevant Placee until such time as it has fully complied with its obligations hereunder.

If Placing Shares are to be delivered to a custodian or settlement agent, Placees must ensure that, upon receipt, the conditional form of confirmation is copied and delivered immediately to the relevant person within that organisation. Insofar as Placing Shares are registered in a Placee's name or that of its nominee or in the name of any person for whom a Placee is contracting as agent or that of a nominee for such person, such Placing Shares should, subject as provided below, be so registered free from any liability to United Kingdom stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. Placees will not be entitled to receive any fee or commission in connection with the Placing.

Conditions of the Placing

The Placing is conditional upon the Placing Agreement becoming unconditional and not having been terminated in accordance with its terms.

The obligations of Cavendish under the Placing Agreement are, and the Placing is, conditional upon, inter alia:

If any of the conditions set out in the Placing Agreement are not fulfilled or, where permitted, waived in accordance with the Placing Agreement within the stated time periods (or such later time and/or date as the Company and Cavendish may agree), or the Placing Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the Placing will lapse and the Placee's rights and obligations shall cease and terminate at such time and each Placee agrees that no claim can be made by or on behalf of the Placee (or any person on whose behalf the Placee is acting) in respect thereof.

By participating in the Placing, each Placee agrees that its rights and obligations cease and terminate only in the circumstances described above and under "Termination of the Placing" below and will not be capable of rescission or termination by it.

Certain conditions may be waived in whole or in part by Cavendish, in their absolute discretion, by notice in writing to the Company and Cavendish may also agree in writing with the Company to extend the time for satisfaction of any condition. Any such extension or waiver will not affect Placees' commitments as set out in this Announcement.

Cavendish may terminate the Placing Agreement in certain circumstances, details of which are set out below.

Neither Cavendish, the Company nor any of their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers or employees shall have any liability to any Placee (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise) in respect of any decision any of them may make as to whether or not to waive or to extend the time and/or date for the satisfaction of any condition to the Placing nor for any decision any of them may make as to the satisfaction of any condition or in respect of the Placing generally and by participating in the Placing each Placee agrees that any such decision is within the absolute discretion of Cavendish.

Termination of the Placing

Cavendish may terminate the Placing Agreement, in accordance with its terms, at any time prior to Admission if, inter alia:

If the Placing Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the rights and obligations of each Placee in respect of the Placing as described in this Announcement shall cease and terminate at such time and no claim can be made by any Placee in respect thereof.

By participating in the Placing, each Placee agrees with the Company and Cavendish that the exercise by the Company or Cavendish of any right of termination or any other right or other discretion under the Placing Agreement shall be within the absolute discretion of the Company and / or Cavendish and that none of the Company nor Cavendish need make any reference to such Placee and that none of the Company, Cavendish nor any of its respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers or employees shall have any liability to such Placee (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise) whatsoever in connection with any such exercise.

By participating in the Placing, each Placee agrees that its rights and obligations terminate only in the circumstances described above and under the "Conditions of the Placing" section above and will not be capable of rescission or termination by it after the issue by Cavendish of a form of confirmation confirming each Placee's allocation and commitment in the Placing.

Representations, warranties and further terms

By participating in the Placing, each Placee (and any person acting on such Placee's behalf) irrevocably represents, warrants, acknowledges, undertakes and agrees (for itself and for any such prospective Placee) that in each case as a fundamental term of such Placee's application for Placing Shares (save where Cavendish expressly agrees in writing to the contrary):

By participating in the Placing, each Placee (and any person acting on such Placee's behalf) agrees to indemnify and hold the Company, Cavendish and each of their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers and employees harmless from any and all costs, claims, liabilities and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) arising out of or in connection with any breach of the representations, warranties, acknowledgements, agreements and undertakings given by the Placee (and any person acting on such Placee's behalf) in this Appendix IV or incurred by the Company, Cavendish or each of their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers or employees arising from the performance of the Placee's obligations as set out in this Announcement, and further agrees that the provisions of this Appendix IV shall survive after the completion of the Placing.

The agreement to allot and issue Placing Shares to Placees (or the persons for whom Placees are contracting as agent) free of stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax in the United Kingdom relates only to their allotment and issue to Placees, or such persons as they nominate as their agents, direct by the Company. Such agreement assumes that the Placing Shares are not being acquired in connection with arrangements to issue depositary receipts or to transfer the Placing Shares into a clearance service. If there are any such arrangements, or the settlement related to any other dealings in the Placing Shares, stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax may be payable. In that event, the Placee agrees that it shall be responsible for such stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax and none of the Company or Cavendish shall be responsible for such stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. If this is the case, each Placee should seek its own advice and they should notify Cavendish accordingly. In addition, Placees should note that they will be liable for any capital duty, stamp duty and all other stamp, issue, securities, transfer, registration, documentary or other duties or taxes (including any interest, fines or penalties relating thereto) payable outside the United Kingdom by them or any other person on the acquisition by them of any Placing Shares or the agreement by them to acquire any Placing Shares and each Placee, or the Placee's nominee, in respect of whom (or in respect of the person for whom it is participating in the Placing as an agent or nominee) the allocation, allotment, issue or delivery of Placing Shares has given rise to such non-United Kingdom stamp, registration, documentary, transfer or similar taxes or duties undertakes to pay such taxes and duties, including any interest and penalties (if applicable), forthwith and to indemnify on an after-tax basis and to hold harmless the Company and Cavendish in the event that any of the Company and/or Cavendish has incurred any such liability to such taxes or duties.

The representations, warranties, acknowledgements and undertakings contained in this Appendix IV are given to Cavendish for itself and on behalf of the Company and are irrevocable.

Each Placee and any person acting on behalf of the Placee acknowledges that Cavendish does not owe any fiduciary or other duties to any Placee in respect of any representations, warranties, undertakings, acknowledgements, agreements or indemnities in the Placing Agreement.

Each Placee and any person acting on behalf of the Placee acknowledges and agrees that Cavendish may (at its absolute discretion) satisfy its obligations to procure Placees by itself agreeing to become a Placee in respect of some or all of the Placing Shares or by nominating any connected or associated person to do so.

When a Placee or any person acting on behalf of the Placee is dealing with Cavendish, any money held in an account with Cavendish on behalf of the Placee and/or any person acting on behalf of the Placee will not be treated as client money within the meaning of the relevant rules and regulations of the FCA made under FSMA. Each Placee acknowledges that the money will not be subject to the protections conferred by the client money rules; as a consequence, this money will not be segregated from Cavendish's money (as applicable) in accordance with the client money rules and will be held by it under a banking relationship and not as trustee.
