Zenova Group PLC

("Zenova" or "the Company")

Placing to raise £250,000

Zenova Group plc (AIM:ZED), the innovative fire suppression and interdiction solutions company, is pleased to announce that the Company, through its corporate broker Peterhouse Capital Limited ("Peterhouse"), has conditionally raised gross proceeds of £250,000 via a placing (the "Placing") of 100,000,000 new ordinary shares at a price of 0.25 pence per share ("Placing Shares"). The Fundraise was undertaken with existing shareholders and new institutions and several new high net worth investors.

As part of the Placing, warrants have been issued on a 1-for-1 basis, allowing new investors to subscribe for additional shares at 0.5 pence per new ordinary share, with an exercise period of 18 months from the date of admission.

Use of Proceeds

The proceeds will be used to ensure sufficient working capital and enable the Company to continue to progress on substantial and continuing order interest for the Group's extinguisher products.

Admission & Total Voting Rights ("TVR") Statement

Prior to this Placing, the Company had 140,225,973 ordinary shares of £0.001 par value on issue, each with one vote per share. The Company does not hold any ordinary shares in treasury. Following the issuance of the 100,000,000 Placing Shares, the TVR will increase by 100,000,000 shares, bringing the total number of voting rights in the Company to 240,225,973.

Therefore, the figure of 240,225,973, post the issue of these new Placing Shares, can be used by shareholders to determine whether they have a notifiable interest in the share capital of the Company under the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, or if such interest has changed.

The 100,000,000 Placing Shares will be admitted to trading on AIM on or around 28 February 2025, following settlement.
