Result of Open Offer

Ace Liberty & Stone Plc (AQSE: ALSP), the active property investment company capitalising on commercial property investment opportunities across the UK, is pleased to announce that it has received valid acceptances of 12,298,612 Open Offer shares from qualifying shareholders, representing gross proceeds of GBP3,074,653.

On 21 October 2022, Ace Liberty & Stone announced details of an Open Offer to raise gross proceeds of up to GBP4,559,708.75 through the issue of a maximum of 18,238,835 new ordinary shares at a price of 25 pence per share. The Open Offer closed for acceptances at 11.00am on 30 November 2022. Applications were received from shareholders for the full amount of the Open Offer. However, under the terms of the offer, the Directors have scaled back the applications for additional entitlements to equal the number of shares which constituted the basic entitlement for each shareholder.

It is expected that Admission will become effective and that dealings in the Open Offer Shares, fully paid, will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 14 December 2022. A further announcement will be made upon the completion of admission.

The GBP3 million raised provides a strong platform for Ace to continue to build its portfolio and take advantage of potential acquisition opportunities that may arise during the current period of political and economic uncertainty.

Ismail Ghandour, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"The board is very pleased with the result of the Open Offer. The significant sum raised will be carefully invested in new properties as opportunities arise in the next few months."
