EXTRACTS FROM THE CIRCULAR

The following has been extracted without amendment from, and should be read in conjunction with, the Circular to Shareholders dated 02 May 2017, available from the Company's website, www.moneyswapholdings.com.

EXPECTED TIMETABLE OF PRINCIPAL EVENTS

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF MONEYSWAP PLC

1. Introduction

The Company announced on 13 April 2017 that it intends to seek Shareholders' approval to cancel the admission of the Ordinary Shares from trading on AIM.

This letter sets out the background and reasons for the proposed Cancellation.

Wraith, in consultation with the Board, has recently undertaken a review of the benefits of the Ordinary Shares continuing to be traded on AIM. Having completed this review, the Board and Wraith have concluded that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole if the admission of the Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM is cancelled.

Any Shareholders wishing to sell their Ordinary Shares in the Company following Cancellation should contact the Company using the details set out in paragraph 9 of this Circular.

The AIM Rules provide that Cancellation be conditional upon the approval of the special resolution set out as resolution 1 in the notice convening the EGM, enclosed with this document, by not less than 75 per cent of the votes cast, whether in person or by proxy, by Shareholders in a general meeting.

The purpose of this document is to explain why the Board consider the Proposals to be in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole and to recommend that you vote for the Resolutions required to implement the Proposals at the EGM scheduled to take place at 10:00 a.m. on 30 May 2017, notice of which is enclosed at the end of this document.

Allenby Capital, the Company's nominated adviser, has indicated to the Board that, in the event that the resolution to approve the Cancellation is not passed at the EGM, it will resign as the Company's nominated adviser, as the Subscription is unlikely to proceed. Should this occur, the Company would have one month to appoint a new nominated adviser, otherwise the Ordinary Shares would be cancelled from AIM in accordance with Rule 1 of the AIM Rules. The Board does not consider there to be a realistic prospect of appointing a new nominated adviser in the event that Allenby Capital resigns. Shareholders are therefore encouraged to vote in favour of the Resolutions.

2. Reasons for the proposed Cancellation

After further consideration following the announcement of the Subscription by the Company on 21 March 2017, Wraith, in consultation with the Board, has concluded that it considers the Subscription should not proceed whilst the Ordinary Shares are admitted to trading on AIM and has, by virtue of a deed of variation entered into with the Company dated 27 April 2017, agreed that Cancellation becomes an additional condition to Completion. As the Company has announced on a number of occasions, the Company requires a substantial investment to secure its long term financial position. This investment is likely to come from the Subscription, which will only complete following Cancellation. It is highly unlikely that it would be possible to complete a subscription or fundraising with an alternative investor in the timeframe required in order to remain on AIM and the Board therefore considers that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to proceed with the Subscription and for Cancellation to be effected.

The Board understands Wraith to have concluded that the costs and regulatory burden associated with remaining admitted to AIM are not commensurate with the benefits available to the Company and its Shareholders, given the current stage of development of the Company's business.

Pursuant to AIM Rule 41, the Cancellation can only be effected by the Company after securing a resolution of Shareholders passed by a requisite majority being not less than 75 per cent of the votes cast by Shareholders (in person or by proxy) at a general meeting. Under the AIM Rules, the Cancellation can only take place after the expiration of a period of twenty Business Days from the date on which notice of the Cancellation is given. In addition, a period of at least five Business Days following the Shareholder approval of the Cancellation is required before the Cancellation may be put into effect.

The Company, through its nominated adviser, has notified the London Stock Exchange of the proposed Cancellation and it is expected that Cancellation will take effect at 7.00 a.m. on 07 June 2017.

3. Current trading

On 21 March 2017, the Company announced its results for the half year ended 30 September 2016. During this period, the Company reported revenue of US$218,572 and a loss before taxation of US$961,142. Trading in the second half of the financial period was in line with the first half and the Company is expecting to report a turnover for the year ended 31 March 2017 slightly ahead of the US$397,056 recorded for the year ended 31 March 2016. As a result of cost cutting measures undertaken during the last financial period, the Company anticipates that the loss before taxation for the year ended 31 March 2017 will be significantly lower than the US$3,065,096 reported for the year ended 31 March 2016.

Since the end of the financial year, a number of initiatives have been taken to increase revenues which are expected to translate into improved financial performance in the six months to 30 September 2017.

4. Future strategy of the Company

As previously announced, in the months prior to the suspension of trading in the Ordinary Shares on AIM, the Company's revenues were adversely affected by the lack of access to adequate working capital and the uncertainty surrounding the financial viability of the business and its ability to raise capital.

With the proceeds from the Subscription and the monies borrowed pursuant to the Loan Agreement, it is expected that the Company will have sufficient working capital to increase revenue streams from the platforms and licences it currently holds. If successful, it may be appropriate to seek admission of the Company's shares to AIM or another public market at some time in the future, once the business operations of the Company have developed.

5. Effect of Cancellation

The principal effect of the proposed Cancellation is that there would no longer be a formal market mechanism enabling Shareholders to trade their Ordinary Shares on AIM or any other recognised market or trading exchange. There has been no underlying liquidity in the Ordinary Shares since the suspension of trading in the Ordinary Shares on AIM on 21 September 2016 and this will remain the case for the foreseeable future as long as the Company's Ordinary Shares are not traded on a public market. As described below, the Company will seek to facilitate any trades should Shareholders seek to buy or sell Ordinary Shares following Cancellation. However, such a facility may not result in an attractive share price or any liquidity for Shareholders.

Due to the limited number of existing Shareholders and the illiquidity of the Ordinary Shares prior to the suspension from trading in the Ordinary Shares on AIM, the Company is assessing whether to continue to offer a facility to enable electronic settlement of the Ordinary Shares following Cancellation. The Company will continue to maintain the Depository Interest facility representing Ordinary Shares for a period of not less than 45 days following Cancellation, during which period the Company will assess the commercial benefits of maintaining the Depository Interest facility. Should the Depository Interest facility be cancelled in due course, Shareholders will be able to continue to trade their Ordinary Shares in certificated form.

Shareholders should also be aware that the Company will no longer be bound by the AIM Rules and that, as a consequence, certain previously prescribed corporate governance procedures may not be adhered to in the future and the Company will no longer be required to announce material events or transactions including releasing interim results or final results. As the Company will no longer be subject to the AIM Rules, Shareholders will no longer be required to vote on certain matters as provided in the AIM Rules. However, following Cancellation, the Company intends to continue to maintain a website at www.moneyswapholdings.com for the foreseeable future, providing information on events or developments of the Company that are deemed significant by the Board.

Upon Cancellation, the Company will cease to have a nominated adviser. The Company is currently required under the AIM Rules to consult with its nominated adviser on, for example, transactions constituting "related party transactions" under the AIM Rules, and to inform the nominated adviser of key decisions such as any proposed changes to the Board. Following Cancellation, the Shareholders will no longer benefit from the protection afforded by the nominated adviser.

Upon Cancellation, the Relationship Agreement and Lock-in Agreement will no longer be required to be entered into by Wraith and the Company. Please see paragraph 8 below for further details.

Accordingly, as a result of the Cancellation, the protections available to Shareholders will be limited to those available under Gibraltar law and the Company's articles of association from time to time.

6. Effect on the Company should Cancellation not proceed

Allenby Capital, the Company's nominated adviser, has indicated to the Board that, in the event that the resolution to approve the Cancellation is not passed at the EGM, it will resign as the Company's nominated adviser, as the Subscription is unlikely to proceed. Should this occur, the Company would have one month to appoint a new nominated adviser, otherwise trading in the Ordinary Shares would be cancelled on AIM in accordance with Rule 1 of the AIM Rules. The Board does not consider there to be a realistic prospect of appointing a new nominated adviser in the one month period in the event that Allenby Capital resigns. Shareholders are therefore encouraged to vote in favour of the Resolutions.

The Board further considers that, should the Ordinary Shares be cancelled in accordance with AIM Rule 1, this could prejudice the Company's ability to re-admit to AIM or an alternative public market at some point in the future.

7. New Articles

The Board considers it appropriate that the Company should adopt new articles of association with effect from (and subject to completion of) the Cancellation to reflect the fact that the Ordinary Shares will no longer be traded on a public market following the Cancellation. The New Articles are broadly similar to the Articles but contain the following changes:

1. A new right has been added for holders of 60 per cent or more of the Ordinary Shares to require the other holders of Ordinary Shares to sell their Ordinary Shares in the event that an "Approved Offer" is made from a bona fide third party for all of the Ordinary Shares. This would mean that where an Approved Offer is made Shareholders could be forced to sell their Ordinary Shares to the third party even if they object to the offer provided that holders of at least 60% of the Ordinary Shares approve of the offer. This prevents minority Shareholders frustrating a future sale and is for the benefit of Shareholders as a group. An "Approved Offer" is one that is made by a bona fide third party which offers the same or equivalent consideration for each Ordinary Share and which stipulates that the purchase of all of the Ordinary Shares shall occur simultaneously.

2. The requirement of the directors to retire by rotation has been deleted and accordingly directors will no longer have fixed term appointments.

3. Various minor amendments to reflect that the Ordinary Shares will no longer be traded on AIM.

A copy of the New Articles showing the changes to the Articles has been posted to Shareholders along with this Circular and can also be found at www.moneyswapholdings.com.

8. Variation to the Subscription Agreement

The Subscription Agreement has been amended by agreement between the Company and Wraith since a summary of the terms was provided to Shareholders in the Previous Circular. A summary of the changes as a result of the deed of variation between the Company and Wraith dated 27 April 2017 is as follows:

1. An additional condition to Completion has been added to the effect that Completion is also now conditional upon Cancellation having been completed to the reasonable satisfaction of Wraith.

2. The requirement that the Company, Allenby Capital and Wraith enter into the Relationship Agreement and the Lock-in Agreement has, conditional upon Cancellation occurring, been deleted.

3. Conditional upon Cancellation occurring, Calvin Yan will not now be appointed as an additional director of the Company.

4. Conditional upon Cancellation occurring, Wraith shall have the right to appoint two directors to the Board.

9. Trading in the Ordinary Shares after Cancellation

The Board recognises that the Cancellation will make it more difficult for Shareholders to buy and sell Ordinary Shares should they wish to do so. Following the Cancellation, although the Ordinary Shares will remain transferable they will no longer be tradable on AIM. Accordingly, the Board will, following Cancellation, seek to introduce buyers to sellers in the event that the Company is able to match an indication to buy or sell with an opposite buy or sell instruction. Once an introduction has been made, Shareholders will be able to effect a transaction in the Ordinary Shares through a stock transfer form or share purchase agreement.

Shareholders or persons wishing to trade in the Company's Ordinary Shares following Cancellation should contact the Company via email to [email protected], giving an indication that they are prepared to buy or sell at an agreed price.

10. Special resolutions to be proposed at the Extraordinary General Meeting

The Cancellation is subject to Shareholders passing the following Resolution 1:

1. "That the admission of the ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each in the capital of the Company to trading on AIM, a market operated by London Stock Exchange plc, be cancelled and that the directors of the Company be authorised to take all steps which they consider to be necessary or desirable in order to effect such cancellation."

In addition, the Board and Wraith consider it appropriate that Shareholders pass the following resolution to reflect that the Ordinary Shares will no longer be traded on a public market:

2. That, conditional upon resolution 1 being passed, the New Articles of the Company contained in the document signed by the Chairman for the purposes of identification be and are approved and with effect from Cancellation be adopted as the articles of association of the Company in substitution for and to the exclusion of the existing Articles."

The Resolutions are proposed as special resolutions of the Company. In accordance with the AIM Rules and the laws of Gibraltar, the special resolutions detailed above, will be required to be passed by a majority of not less than 75 per cent. of the votes cast by Shareholders (in person or by proxy) at the EGM.

11. Action to be taken

Shareholders will find enclosed with this document a Form of Proxy and a Form of Direction (for use in the event that any Shareholder is a holder of Depositary Interests on the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting), in each case for use in connection with the Extraordinary General Meeting.

If a Form of Proxy or Form of Direction is not received by the dates and times set out above, it will be rendered void.
