Launch of New Share Buyback Programme

Celebrus Technologies plc (AIM: CLBS, the "Group", "Celebrus"), the AIM-listed data solutions provider, announces that the Board has approved a share buyback programme of up to 500,000 ordinary shares of 2 pence each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") (the "Buyback Programme").

The Company has instructed Cavendish to conduct the Buyback Programme on its behalf on a broker-managed basis, with trading decisions taken independently of the Company. The Buyback Programme commences today and ends no later than three months from today, on 8 October 2025, or earlier if the maximum number of Ordinary Shares has been reached.

The Buyback Programme will be conducted in accordance with the terms of the Company's authority to make market purchases of its own Ordinary Shares granted to it by shareholders on 8 August 2024 (the "Authority"), including that the maximum price paid per Ordinary Share is to be no more than 105 per cent. of the average middle market closing price of an Ordinary Share for the five business days preceding the date of any buyback. The Authority will expire at the Company's next annual general meeting ("AGM") expected to be held on 20 August 2025 at which a proposal (amongst others) will be put to shareholders to renew the Company's ability to make market purchases of its Ordinary Shares. Accordingly the Buyback Programme will continue after that date pursuant to such renewed authority and will be conditional on the approval of the same by shareholders.

The Company intends to hold all Ordinary Shares so purchased in treasury for the purpose of satisfying future obligations in relation to its employees' or other share schemes.

Due to the limited liquidity in the issued Ordinary Shares, a buyback of Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Authority (or its successor) on any given trading day may represent a significant proportion of the daily trading volume in the Ordinary Shares on AIM and could exceed 25 per cent. of the average daily trading volume and, accordingly, the Company will not benefit from the exemption contained in Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 as adopted into UK law by the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018.

The Company will make further announcements in due course following any share purchases under the Buyback Programme.
