Result of Retail Offer
The Board of SRT MARINE SYSTEMS PLC (the "Company") is pleased
to announce that the Retail Offer launched on 21 December 2023 has
now closed, raising in aggregate GBP0.5 million through the
issuance of 1,428,571 Retail Shares at a price of 35 pence
each.
Allocations were made to existing Shareholders, applying the
principles of soft pre-emption. Given the significant demand,
existing Shareholders received approximately 79 per cent. of their
soft pre-emptive allowance, when their order matched or exceeded
their soft pre-emptive allowance.(1)
Accordingly, conditional on the passing of the Placing
Resolutions at the General Meeting and Second Admission, the
Company has conditionally raised total gross proceeds of
approximately GBP10.5 million in aggregate by way of the
Fundraising.
Subject to, inter alia, Shareholders passing the Placing
Resolutions at the General Meeting to be held on 15 January 2024,
applications will be made to the London Stock Exchange in
connection with Second Admission for the admission of a total of
10,774,147 new Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM. This will
comprise (i) 8,571,576 Placing Shares; (ii) 774,000 Second
Subscription Shares and (iii) 1,428,571 Retail Shares. The new
Ordinary Shares, when issued, will rank pari passu with the
existing Ordinary Shares then in issue.
Subject to, and conditional on, the Placing Resolutions being
passed at the General Meeting, Second Admission is expected to
occur on 16 January 2024.
A separate announcement will be made following the General
Meeting as to the results of the General Meeting and the total
voting rights following Second Admission.
Unless otherwise defined, all capitalised terms used but not
defined in this announcement shall have the meaning given to them
in the announcement of the Fundraising made by the Company on 21
December 2023.

UK Product Governance Requirements
Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements
of Chapter 3 of the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product
Governance Sourcebook (the "UK MiFIR Product Governance
Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether
arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer"
(for the purposes of the UK MiFIR Product Governance Requirements)
may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Retail Shares have
been subject to a product approval process, which has determined
that the Retail Shares are: (i) compatible with an end target
market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of
professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined
in paragraphs 3.5 and 3.6 of COBS; and (ii) eligible for
distribution through all permitted distribution channels (the "UK
Target Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the UK Target Market
Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the Retail
Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their
investment; the Retail Shares offer no guaranteed income and no
capital protection; and an investment in the Retail Shares is
compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income
or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an
appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient
resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom.
The UK Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to any
contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation
to the Retail Offer.
For the avoidance of doubt, the UK Target Market Assessment does
not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness
for the purposes of Chapters 9A or 10A respectively of COBS; or (b)
a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest
in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect
to the Retail Shares. Each distributor is responsible for
undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the
Retail Shares and determining appropriate distribution
channels.
EU Product Governance Requirements
Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements
contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in
financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II"); (b) Articles 9 and
10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing
MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the "MiFID
II Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any
liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which
any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product
Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto,
the Retail Shares have been subject to a product approval process,
which has determined that the Retail Shares are: (i) compatible
with an end target market of retail investors and investors who
meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible
counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) eligible for
distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by
MiFID II (the "EU Target Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the
EU Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: the
price of the Retail Shares may decline and investors could lose all
or part of their investment; the Retail Shares offer no guaranteed
income and no capital protection; and an investment in the Retail
Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a
guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in
conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment
and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses
that may result therefrom. The EU Target Market Assessment is
without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or
regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Retail
Offer.
For the avoidance of doubt, the EU Target Market Assessment does
not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness
for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any
investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase or take
any other action whatsoever with respect to the Retail Shares. Each
distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market
assessment in respect of the Retail Shares and determining
appropriate distribution channels.
