Result of Fundraising

 

Xeros Technology Group plc (AIM: XSG), the creator of technologies that reduce the impact of clothing on the planet, is pleased to announce that further to the Company's announcement released at 18:32 p.m. yesterday (the "Launch Announcement"), the ABB has closed and the Company has conditionally raised gross proceeds of approximately £3.0 million, through the successful Placing and Initial Subscription of 171,847,501 New Ordinary Shares in aggregate at the Issue Price of 1.75 pence per Ordinary Share.

In addition to the Placing and Initial Subscription, the Company is also seeking to raise up to an additional £2.0 million by way of the Follow-On Subscription and is also providing all shareholders with the opportunity to subscribe for an aggregate of up to £1.0 million by way of the Retail Offer, both at the Issue Price.

The Placing, Subscriptions and Retail Offer are conditional upon, inter alia, the passing of the Resolutions at the General Meeting, Admission and upon the Placing Agreement becoming unconditional in all respects. It is expected that Admission will occur, and that dealings in the New Ordinary Shares will become effective on 1 December 2025.

No part of the Placing or Initial Subscription is conditional on the Follow-On Subscription or Retail Offer proceeding or on any minimum take-up under the Follow-On Subscription or Retail Offer.

General Meeting and Shareholder Approval

 

For the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM, Shareholder approval is required:

 

a) by way of ordinary resolution to give the Directors authority to allot such New Ordinary Shares and New Ordinary Shares to be issued on exercise of the Warrants; and

b) by way of a special resolution to disapply statutory pre-emption rights in respect of such New Ordinary Shares.

 

The authorities referred to above are in addition to the Company's existing general shareholder authorities to allot Ordinary Shares for cash on a non-pre-emptive basis.

 

In order to obtain the necessary shareholder approval, a General Meeting is to be held at the Company's offices at the offices of Squire Patton Boggs (UK) LLP at 60 London Wall London EC2M 5TP at 10:00 a.m. on 28 November 2025 at which the Resolutions will be proposed. A Circular containing a notice of General Meeting is expected to be sent to shareholders today. The shareholder Circular and notice of General Meeting will be made available on the Company's website at www.xerostech.com.

 

A copy of the Company's investor presentation in relation to this Transaction will be made available on the Company's investor relations website shortly.
