RWS has applied to the London Stock Exchange for the admission of 1,289,599 New Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM ("Admission") and Admission is expected to take place at 8:00am on 26 January 2026.

The New Ordinary Shares, when issued, will be fully paid and will rank pari-passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after the date of issue. The issue and allotment of the New Ordinary Shares will be within the Company's existing authorities.

Subsequent to Admission, there will be 371,097,245 ordinary shares of 1p each in issue with voting rights. No shares are held in treasury.
