Molten Ventures Plc

Completion of Acquisition, Admission of New Molten Shares and Total Voting Rights - Seite 2

Martin Davis, Chief Executive Officer, Molten Ventures, commented:

“The acquisition of Forward Partners will enable us to diversify the blend of maturity of our assets and provide a broader pipeline for follow-on investment. It follows soon after our acquisition of a stake in Seedcamp III, which also diversified asset maturity but with the addition of exposure to high-quality assets with nearer term visibility on realisation opportunities. This ongoing expansion of the platform helps position the business to capture opportunities at attractive valuations in what is increasingly a buyers’ market for venture capital.”

Following Admission, Molten’s issued share capital will consist of 189,046,450 ordinary shares of £0.01 with each share carrying the right to one vote. Molten holds no shares in treasury. The total number of voting rights in Molten will therefore be 189,046,450. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest, or a change to their interest, in Molten under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules and/or Regulation 20 of the Transparency (Directive 2004/109/EC) Regulations, 2007 (as amended).

Capitalised terms used but not otherwise defined in this announcement have the meanings given to them in the scheme document published in relation to the Scheme on 21 December 2023.
