Crossword Cybersecurity plc (AIM: CCS, "Crossword", the "Company" or the "Group"), the technology and consulting company focusing on the cyber security sector, is pleased to announce that following the cancellation of its shares from trading on NEX yesterday, Admission of the Company's Shares to trading on AIM will take place at 8.00 a.m. today, 14 December 2018 ("Admission"). Dealings will commence under the ticker "CCS" and the Company's ISIN is GB00BPFJXS57 and its SEDOL is BYX0M86.

On Admission, the Company will have a market capitalisation of approximately £13.6 million, following a successful placing and subscription of approximately £2.0 million before expenses (the "Fundraise").

Following Admission, the total number of Ordinary Shares in the Company in issue will be 4,679,730; each with equal voting rights. The total voting rights figure can be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine whether they are required to notify their interest in, or a change of their interest in, the Company under the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority.
