Marlowe plc

Block Admission

Marlowe plc ("Marlowe" or the "Group"), the leader in business-critical services and software which assure regulatory compliance, announces that application has been made for a block admission of 699,000 ordinary shares in the capital of the Group ("Ordinary Shares") to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission") in respect of new Ordinary Shares which may be issued from time to time on the exercise of options awarded under Marlowe's 2020 SAYE scheme (the "SAYE Options"). The award of the SAYE Options was announced by Marlowe on 2 September 2020.

New Ordinary Shares issued under the block admission will rank pari passu in all respects with Ordinary Shares and it is expected that Admission will become effective at 8.00 a.m. on 2 October 2023.

There is no change to the Group's issued share capital as a result of this block admission and, following Admission the Group will continue to have 96,481,891 Ordinary Shares in issue. There are no shares held in treasury and thus the total number of voting rights in the Group is 96,481,891.

The Group will notify on a monthly basis when there are changes to the issued share capital of the Group, and these monthly figures may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation 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 Group, under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
