Valereum Plc

("Valereum", "VLRM" or the "Company")

Placing of £0.5 Million via Clear Capital Markets

Valereum Plc (AQSE: VLRM) is pleased to announce a placing by Clear Capital Markets for a total of 12.5 million new ordinary shares of £0.001 each in the capital of the Company (the "Placing Shares") at an issue price of £0.04 per Placing Share (the "Placing Price"), raising gross proceeds of £500,000 (before expenses) (the "Placing").

The Placing Price represents a discount of approximately 22% to the average closing price of £0.5125 per share on the 4 days prior to entering into the agreement. The Placing is expected to complete by 14 May 2025 and is conditional only on the Placing Shares being admitted to trading on the AQSE Growth Market.

This Placing will provide additional working capital for VLRM to support the launch and scaling of its digital asset services, particularly its RWA Markets business.

The Board remains confident in the Company's ability to deliver shareholder value through its own distinctive path, one built on technology, regulatory readiness, and strategic independence.

Warrant Issue

In association with the capital raise, the Company has granted warrants to advisers to subscribe for 1,000,000 new ordinary shares at an exercise price of £0.04 per share for a period of 3 years.

James Formolli, Chairman of Valereum Plc, commented:

"Bringing in external investors represents a strong endorsement of the Company's vision and long-term potential. This new capital allows Valereum to move forward at pace, strengthens our balance sheet, and provides the resources needed for us to explore the exciting opportunities ahead."

The Company looks forward to updating the market on further developments in due course.

Admission:

Application will be made for the new Placing Shares, which will rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares in issue, to be admitted to trading on the AQSE Growth Market ("Admission"). Dealings are expected to commence on or around 14 May 2025 and the issue is subject only to Admission.

Total voting rights:

Following the issuance of the Placing Shares, the Company's total number of Ordinary Shares in issue will be 185,409,716. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation to determine if they are required to notify the Company of their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company's securities pursuant to the Company's Articles.
