Result of Retail Offer

Further to the announcements on 08 February 2023 and this morning at 7:00 a.m., Sosandar plc (AIM: SOS), one of the fastest growing fashion brands in the UK, creating quality, trend-led products for women of all ages, is pleased to announce that it has raised gross proceeds of approximately £500,000 pursuant to a significantly oversubscribed Retail Offer via the Bookbuild platform from existing shareholders. A total of 2,272,727 Retail Offer Shares will be issued at 22 pence per Retail Offer Share.

Allocations were made to existing Shareholders applying the principles of soft pre-emption with existing Shareholders receiving 100% of their soft pre-emptive allowance. Where an order was greater than the soft pre-emptive allowance, shareholders received c.30% of their additional demand.

Consequently, an application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the admission of 2,272,727 Retail Offer Shares to trading on AIM. Retail Offer Admission is expected to take place and dealings are expected to commence in the Retail Offer Shares at 8.00 a.m. on or around 21 February 2023.

The Retail Offer Shares, when issued, will be fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after the date of issue.

Following Retail Offer Admission, the Company's issued and fully paid share capital will consist of 248,226,513 Ordinary Shares, all of which carry one voting right per share. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of Ordinary Shares and voting rights in the Company will be 248,226,513. This figure may be used by Shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Save as otherwise defined, capitalised terms used in this announcement have the meanings given to them in the announcement released by the Company at 7.00a.m. 08 February 2023.
