Press Release

8 January 2024

NFT Investments PLC

("NFT Investments" or "the Company")

Change of name to Phoenix Digital Assets PLC

NFT Investments plc (AQSE: NFT), a fund specialising in the market for digital assets, is pleased to announce that the Company is to change its name to Phoenix Digital Assets plc.

The relevant paperwork has been filed with Companies House, and the change of name will be effective once Companies House has issued a certificate of incorporation on change of name. A further confirmatory announcement will be made when the name change is formally effective.

The change aligns the Company's name with its strategic focus to become the premier large cap crypto currency fund in the UK. The Board of Directors believes that the Phoenix Digital Assets name better reflects the Company's diverse range of crypto-assets and investments across the Company's high performing fund.

The Company has unaudited Crypto, Stablecoin and private blockchain assets with a valuation of GBP47.1 million (4.67p per share) as at 31 December 2023. The fund's strong management is reflected in effective decisions made such as the purchase of 549 Bitcoin (BTC) and 5,494 Ethereum (ETH) at a lower price in the period November 2022-January 2023, prior to the revival of cryptocurrency (these BTC and ETH were purchased at average prices of $16,999 and $1,262 respectively and as of 5 January 2024 the prices have risen to $44,000 and $2,250 respectively). Additionally, the Company purchased 86,396 Solana (SOL) in August 2023 at $20.88 average, which as of 5 January 2024 stands at $99 per SOL.

Moreover, in light of strong fund performance, t he Company's current share price of 2.7p represents a 38% discount to its 31 December 2023 unaudited Crypto and Stablecoin valuation and a 42% discount to its 31 December 2023 unaudited Total NAV.

As previously announced, the Company has stated that it will purchase up to 857m of its ordinary shares in a tender offer at an amount equal to the net asset value of the Company per share as announced by the Company on a Regulatory Information Service from time to time. The Company will proceed with the tender offer following the Bitcoin halving (currently anticipated to take place in April 2024) and before the end of 2024.

Following the name change becoming effective, the Company's ticker symbol, under which its shares are traded on the AQSE Growth Market, will be changed to "PNIX", and a further announcement will be made; until such time, trading will continue under the "NFT" stock ticker.

In addition, the Company's website address has changed to www.getphoenix.co.uk .

Jonathan Bixby, Executive Chairman of Phoenix Digital Assets , commented: "The change of name announced today further solidifies our strategic shift in our operations that began in November 2023 at the lowest ebb of the market when we purchased the majority of our crypto assets. The change of name to Phoenix Digital Assets also serves to underscore the successes the Company has achieved. We believe that we are one of the best performing crypto funds across a variety of digital assets far beyond NFTs, and the Company has demonstrated strong fund management in the digital asset space holistically.

"We are eager to leverage our current momentum and the renewed vigour in cryptocurrency to drive substantial, enduring growth in the future and build on our value creation to date."

The Directors of Phoenix Digital Assets accept responsibility for this announcement.
