Vault Ventures PLC

("Vault Ventures" or the "Company")

Result of WRAP Retail Offer

Vault Ventures Plc, a company focused on identifying, developing and commercialising early-stage technology businesses, primarily in the blockchain and fintech sectors, is pleased to confirm the successful completion of its retail offer via the Winterflood Retail Access Platform ("WRAP Offer").

The WRAP Offer was met with strong demand. As a result, whilst the Company initially set out to raise £300,000, the directors have resolved to increase the offer by £150K but scaled back the subscription applications to raise gross proceeds of £450,000 through the allotment of 2,250,000,046 new ordinary shares of £0.0001 each (the "New Shares") at a price of 0.02 pence per share.

The proceeds from the WRAP Offer will further complement the £1m raise announced on 02 July 2025.

Admission

Application will be made for the New Shares and Settlement Shares as announced on 3 July 2025 to be admitted to trading on the Aquis Stock Exchange Growth Market ("Admission"). Admission is expected to become effective, and dealings in the New Shares are expected to commence, on or around 14 July 2025.

Following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will comprise 21,435,329,412 ordinary shares, each with one voting right. The Company does not hold any shares in treasury. This figure may therefore use this figure as the denominator for the purposes of the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

The New Shares rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing ordinary shares.

Brian Stockbridge, Non-Executive Chairman, commented:

"We are pleased to announce the successful completion of another retail capital raise, reflecting continued strong demand for the Company's shares. This level of interest from the retail market is an indication of investor confidence in our strategy and long-term vision. The funds raised, together with the £1 million secured earlier this month, will support the advancement of our strategic initiatives, including the incubation of technology companies through our recently announced acquisition of System7, while also contributing to the steady growth of our treasury.

Additionally, we look forward to hosting our very first AMA ("Ask Me Anything") via X (formerly Twitter) Spaces following the GM, at 10:30 a.m. (London Time). Our aim as a Company is to be transparent and open about our plans and how we intend to execute it. We will use this session is to provide shareholders and prospective investors with an opportunity to hear directly from the Board as we respond to pre-submitted questions and discuss the Company's plans and strategy."
