(Alliance News) - The following is a round-up of trading updates by London-listed companies, issued on Thursday and not separately reported by Alliance News:
----------
UK Oil & Gas PLC - London-based energy company - Announces "a short delay" in the publication of its annual report for the year to September 30 2025. As a result, the company's shares have been suspended. Comments: "The company anticipates that it will be in a position to publish the [annual report] very shortly, following which trading in the company's shares will be restored. A further announcement will be made in due course."

Blue Star Capital PLC - Investor focused on blockchain, e-sports, and payments - Vortex, the fiat-to-crypto infrastructure platform of investee company SatoshiPay Ltd reaches a record monthly transaction volume of USD10 million in January, up from USD4.8 million in December and ahead of the cumulative transaction volume since launch of USD9.9 million as at December 31. However, transaction volume totals USD7.8 million in February and USD1.8 million in March due to temporary outages of the platform in order to complete "necessary platform infrastructure upgrades, along with ongoing internal compliance reviews associated with onboarding and scaling institutional counterparties." Additionally, a major institutional client of the platform and user of the Vortex Brazilian PIX-based settlement rails is in the process of changing its banking partner, "which also resulted in a significant reduction in transaction volume." Adds: "SatoshiPay expects these factors to resolve in the near term, supporting a return to, and further growth of, established volume levels." Elsewhere, SatoshiPay is progressing development of its Vortex widget aimed at retail users. "The company is developing functionality to enable fiat-to-crypto conversions to be deployed directly into yield-generating decentralised finance protocols. A proof-of-concept is currently in prototype phase, with further updates expected in due course," Blue Star says.
----------
SuperSeed Capital Ltd - Guernsey-based venture capital fund with a portfolio of early-stage technology investments - Issues a further 40,000 convertible loan notes to its investment manager SuperSeed Ventures LLP for a subscription price of GBP40,000. This follows the February announcement of the extension of its GBP400,000 loan facility through the issue of convertible loan notes to the IM. "The independent directors of the company, having exercised reasonable care, skill and diligence believe that the issue is fair and reasonable as far as the shareholders of the company are concerned," SuperSeed says.
