Proposed Share Capital Reorganisation
The directors of Beacon Rise (the "Board") are proposing that each existing Ordinary Share of £1.00 will be subdivided into one New Ordinary Share of £0.0001 each and one New Deferred Share of £0.9999 each.
Each New Ordinary Share will carry the same rights as each existing Ordinary Share under the Company's articles of association . No new certificates will be issued in relation to the existing Ordinary Shares, and the existing share certificates will remain valid entitling the registered holder to the same number of New Ordinary Shares.
Each New Deferred Share will have very limited rights and will effectively be valueless. CREST accounts of Shareholders will not be credited in respect of any entitlement to New Deferred Shares, and no share certificates will be issued in respect of New Deferred Shares.
The New Deferred Shares will have the rights and restrictions as set out in the Articles of Association in respect of deferred shares, which do not entitle their holders to receive notice of or attend or vote at any general meeting of the Company or to receive a dividend or other distribution and provide the Company with the authority to transfer them at effectively nil consideration per New Deferred Share to a custodian nominated by the Company. The New Deferred Shares will not be admitted to trading on AIM or any other exchange.
Following the passing of all the resolutions at the GM, the Company will implement the Share Capital Reorganisation and make an application for admission of the 1,550,333 New Ordinary Shares to trading on the main market of the London Stock Exchange at 8:00 a.m. on 13 March 2026.
The number of ordinary shares in issue, and held by each Shareholder, will not change. It is simply the nominal value of the existing Ordinary Shares which will change. Accordingly, the Share Capital Reorganisation will result in the issue of 1,550,333 New Ordinary Shares and 1,550,333 New Deferred Shares.
The New Ordinary Shares will continue to carry the same rights as those attached to the existing Ordinary Shares, save for the change in nominal value. The New Ordinary Shares will have the same ISIN number and SEDOL code as the existing Ordinary Shares.
