Placing to raise £215,000

Details of the Placing
Geoff Robertson, Group Chief Executive of MediaZest plc, commented:
“This Placing will allow the Group to focus on further growth, underpinned by our recent new client wins and project roll outs. We would like to thank our long-term shareholders and our new significant cornerstone investor for their support. Financial Year 2026 has begun strongly, and we look forward to providing further updates with our Full Year results expected to be released later this month.”

The Directors of the Company (all of whom are regarded as being independent of Oberon), having consulted with SP Angel Corporate Finance LLP, the Company’s nominated adviser, consider that Oberon’s participation in the Placing is fair and reasonable in so far as shareholders are concerned.
Admission to trading on AIM and Total Voting Rights
The Fundraise is conditional on the admission of the Placing Shares to trading on AIM (“Admission”). Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange, and it is expected that Admission will be effective at 8.00 am on or around 9 February 2026.
The Placing Shares will be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares.
Following Admission, the Company's total issued share capital will comprise of 2,054,760,724 Ordinary Shares. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of Ordinary Shares with voting rights in the Company will be 2,054,760,724. 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 to their interest in, the share capital of the Company following Admission.
The Placing was undertaken by the Company's joint broker Hybridan LLP.
