Shareholder approval for £5m Placing and Share Sub-division

WH Ireland is pleased to announce that, at the General Meeting held earlier today, all resolutions were duly passed. Accordingly, subject to Admission, the Company has raised gross proceeds of £5 million pursuant to the Placing and the Share Sub-division has been approved.

Capitalised terms used but not otherwise defined in this announcement shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Company's announcement at 7.00 a.m. on 28 July 2023, unless the context requires otherwise.

Commenting, Phillip Wale, CEO said:

"I am grateful to both our existing and new shareholders in the support shown for our £5m capital raise. I believe that we are in a robust position from which to take advantage of improved market conditions when they occur.

"The proceeds of the Placing bolster our regulatory capital and together with the cost reductions identified, provide a stable platform from which we can navigate through the challenging market backdrop. The full benefit of the savings is anticipated to be realised during the course of calendar year Q4 2023."

Admission and Total Voting Rights

Following the General Meeting held earlier today, the Company will issue 166,666,667 Placing Shares and 4,166,666 Fee Shares.

Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for admission of the New Ordinary Shares (including the Placing Shares and Fee Shares) to trading on AIM. It is expected that Admission will become effective and dealings in the New Ordinary Shares will commence on AIM at 8.00 a.m. on 16 August 2023.

Following Admission, the total number of shares in the capital of the Company in issue with voting rights will be 235,986,209 ordinary shares of 1 pence each. This figure 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, WH Ireland under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
