APPENDIX

TEXT OF THE LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE COMPANY

Proposed Withdrawal of the Company's Bitcoin Treasury Policy

and Authority to Dispose of the Company's Bitcoin Holdings

Notice of General Meeting

Dear Shareholder,

1. Introduction

On 2 June 2026, the Company announced a fundraise of £1.0 million through a subscription for new ordinary shares at 2.2 pence per share by Regent Resources Capital Corporation, the proposed appointment of Ian Burns as a non-executive Director, and a strategic refocus under which the Company is exploring significant acquisition opportunities aligned with the UK's energy transition and digital economy, including in strategic minerals, AI and digital infrastructure, amongst other things. In that announcement, the Company indicated that, were it to undertake a significant transaction, it would re-evaluate its Bitcoin treasury policy and would seek shareholder consent prior to any substantial disposal of Bitcoin or change in its Bitcoin treasury policy.

Following a thorough review of the Company's current position and strategic options, the Board is considering a number of significant corporate transactions aligned with the energy transition and digital economy, including transactions in the strategic minerals, AI and digital infrastructure sectors, which the Board believe are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole. The Board is therefore seeking shareholder approval to withdraw the Company's Bitcoin treasury policy and to dispose of the Company's Bitcoin holdings, in whole or in part at an appropriate time, as indicated in the Company's announcement of 2 June 2026.

The purpose of this document is to set out the background to and reasons for the proposed resolutions, to explain why the Board considers the resolutions proposed to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, and to recommend that you vote in favour of the resolutions at the general meeting to be held at Eccleston Yards, 25 Eccleston Place, London, United Kingdom, SW1W 9NF on 21 July 2026 at 11.00am (the " General Meeting "), the notice of which is set out at the end of this document (the " Notice ").

2. Background and Current Position

Since its change of name to Vaultz Capital plc in June 2025, the Company has been pursuing a strategy centred on Bitcoin hash rate mining operations alongside the accumulation and management of a Bitcoin treasury, with the objective of generating returns for shareholders through appreciation in the value of those digital asset holdings.

The investment thesis underpinning the Bitcoin treasury model for publicly listed companies has, in the Board's view, materially weakened and the period of significant re-rating enjoyed by companies adopting this strategy has passed. Institutional and retail investor appetite for this category of vehicle has moderated considerably, and the sector no longer commands the valuation premiums that previously supported this approach. The Company has not been immune to this trend, and the Board does not believe that simply continuing to hold Bitcoin on the balance sheet will, of itself, restore or enhance shareholder value.

The Board is acutely aware that the Company's net asset value (" NAV "), which is substantially represented by its Bitcoin holdings, is not being reflected in the Company's prevailing share price. The shares continue to trade at a discount to NAV, notwithstanding the underlying value of the Company's assets. The Board has received increasing feedback from shareholders expressing concern at this discount and calling for action to address it.

A company whose assets are substantially linked to a single digital asset offers shareholders limited operational leverage and restricted flexibility to respond to market conditions or to pursue accretive corporate activity. The Board considers that the Company's structure and listed status are more appropriately used as a platform for active value creation rather than as a vehicle for passive Bitcoin accumulation, which investors can replicate directly or through lower-cost alternatives.

For the reasons set out above, the Board has unanimously concluded that continuing to pursue the Bitcoin treasury strategy as currently constituted is no longer in the best interests of the Company or its shareholders, and that the time has come to withdraw that policy and adopt a broader and more dynamic strategy capable of delivering sustainable value.

3. Resolution 1: Withdrawal of the Bitcoin Treasury Policy

The Board proposes to withdraw the Company's Bitcoin treasury policy so that the Company is no longer committed to the accumulation and holding of Bitcoin as its principal treasury asset. The Company is not an investing company and does not operate a formal published investment policy. Withdrawing the Bitcoin treasury policy will enable the Directors to seek out, evaluate and pursue value accretive transactions across a broad range of sectors that, in their judgement, offer a more compelling opportunity to generate value for shareholders at any given time, rather than restricting the Company's activities to a single digital asset.

In pursuing this strategy, the Board intends to focus principally on sectors exhibiting positive market dynamics and strong underlying fundamentals. The Board has noted in particular the current favourable environment for businesses aligned with the energy transition and digital economy, including strategic minerals, AI and digital infrastructure, which it considers to offer attractive characteristics for a potential value accretive transaction. The Board has already been approached by a number of parties in connection with potential transactions and is actively evaluating those proposals.

The Board will keep shareholders informed as discussions progress to a meaningful stage and will seek such further shareholder approvals as may be required in connection with any specific proposed transaction, in accordance with the AQSE Rules and other applicable regulatory requirements.

4. Resolution 2: Authority to Dispose of the Company's Bitcoin Holdings

The Company currently holds Bitcoin as its principal treasury asset and the Directors consider it appropriate to seek shareholder approval prior to a disposal of this holding. The Board considers that the ability to dispose of this holding, in whole or in part, and at such times and on such terms as the Directors consider appropriate, is an essential tool in implementing the Company's strategic refocus.

The proceeds of any such disposal would be applied by the Board at its discretion towards one or more of the following purposes:

• funding the consideration for, or costs associated with, a value accretive transaction pursued in accordance with the Company's strategic refocus;
• meeting the Company's working capital requirements and satisfying its liabilities as they fall due, pending completion of a transaction; and/or
• such other purposes as the Board considers to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, having regard to the prevailing market conditions and the status of any transaction under consideration.

The Board is not seeking shareholder approval for the disposal of any specific quantum of Bitcoin at this time. Rather, it is seeking a standing authority to dispose of holdings at its discretion, which will enable the Board to respond efficiently to market conditions and transaction timetables without the need to convene a further general meeting each time it wishes to sell Bitcoin. The Board will exercise this authority responsibly and will update shareholders through the Company's regulatory information service as and when significant disposals are made. Any significant disposals of Bitcoin will require unanimous Board approval.

5. Notice of General Meeting and Summary of Resolutions

A notice convening the General Meeting to be held at Eccleston Yards, 25 Eccleston Place, London, United Kingdom, SW1W 9NF on 21 July 2026 at 11.00am at which the resolutions will be proposed is set out at the end of this document.

Resolution 2 seeks approval for the Directors to dispose of the Company's Bitcoin holdings, in whole or in part, at such times and at such prices as the Directors in their absolute discretion consider appropriate, and to apply the proceeds in furtherance of the Company's revised strategic focus or for working capital purposes, as the Board shall determine.
