("Ondo InsurTech" or the "Company")

Proposed placing by way of an accelerated bookbuild to raise up to £1.08 million

Ondo InsurTech Plc (LSE: ONDO), a leading company in claims prevention technology for home insurers, today announces its intention to conduct a placing (the "Placing") to raise gross proceeds of up to £1.08 million through the issue of 5,268,293 new ordinary shares in the capital of the Company (the "Placing Shares") to investors at a placing price of 20.5 pence per Placing Share (the "Placing Price").

The Placing will be conducted in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the Appendix to this announcement through an accelerated bookbuild process (the "Bookbuild") which will be launched immediately following release of this placing announcement (the "Announcement").

Dowgate Capital Limited ("Dowgate") is acting as sole broker to the Company in connection with the Placing.

The Placing proceeds will be used to to provide further working capital to pursue existing contracted opportunities, in particular to accelerate the ISO27001 accreditation technology project which will support the existing rollout plans with Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company ("Nationwide") and further rollouts in the USA, UK and Nordics.

Craig Foster, Chief Executive Officer of Ondo InsurTech, said: "This is an exciting time for the business. Given the recent contractual wins with Länsförsäkringar and Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company, the business is poised for a period of significant growth. The proceeds of this Placing will aid in this growth."

EXPECTED TIMETABLE OF PRINCIPAL EVENTS

Note:

All references in this Circular are to London times unless otherwise stated. The dates and times given are indicative only and are based on the Company's current expectations and may be subject to change. If any of the times and/or dates above change, the revised times and/or dates will be notified to shareholders by announcement through a regulatory information service.

Background to and reasons for the transaction

Ondo InsurTech is a world leading provider of claims prevention technology for home insurers. Ondo InsurTech's focus is on the global scale-up of LeakBot - claims prevention technology that prevents water damage claims in houses. Water damage is one of the biggest causes of home insurance claims, accounting for £14 billion of claims every year in the USA and UK combined. LeakBot is a patented self-install solution that connects to the home wireless network and, if it detects a leak, notifies the customer via the LeakBot mobile app and provides access to a team of expert LeakBot engineers to 'find and fix' the problem. Recent independent research by Consumer Intelligence found LeakBot can reduce the cost of water damage claims for insurers by 70%.

LeakBot partners with 11 insurance carriers in UK, Europe and the US, including Admiral, Direct Line Group, Hiscox, Nationwide, Mapfre and TopDanmark.

The Company, which came to market in March 2022 through the reverse takeover of LeakBot Limited by Spinnaker Acquisitions Plc, is one of the first InsurTech companies trading on the London Stock Exchange holding the coveted London Stock Exchange Green Economy Mark awarded to companies who derive the majority of their income from Green activities.

Product and Business Developments

In the past six months the business has signed contracts that have significantly increased the Addressable Households that LeakBot could be deployed into. In July 2023 a contract was signed with Länsförsäkringar - the largest non life insurer in Sweden. In November 2023 a contract was signed with Fortune 100 insurer Nationwide - a top 10 provide of home insurance in the United States.

Current trading and prospects

As announced in the interim results released on 20 November 2023, the Group has continued to demonstrate tangible progress in the execution of its strategy, including growth in recurring revenue streams and in the important US market.

Unit sales grew by 61% in the period and registered customers grew by 77% which resulted in the 50% growth in revenue from recurring revenue sources.

Underpinning the Group's revenue projections in the short to medium term, the Company was delighted to announce in July 2023 that its pre-existing partner Länsförsäkringar signed a new five-year contract to support LeakBot's rollout across Sweden. Länsförsäkringar is the largest non-life insurer in Sweden and has approximately 2 million home insurance customers.

In June 2023, the Company announced that premium US insurer Mutual of Enumclaw had signed a contract to distribute Ondo's LeakBot system to homeowner insurance customers in Washington State, US, followed in August 2023 by a new partnership with PURE Insurance.

In October 2023 the contract signed with Nationwide. Nationwide is a breakthrough opportunity in the United States for the Group. Nationwide is a Top 10 US homeowner insurer, and a Fortune 100 company. They have a Smart Home Program already live in 34 US states. LeakBot is now being integrated into that technical platform and the Company expects the customer launch into the first US states in early 2024.

Use of proceeds

The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Placing to provide further working capital to to pursue existing contracted opportunities, in particular to accelerate the ISO27001 accreditation technology project which will support the existing rollout plans with Nationwide and further rollouts in the USA, UK and Nordics.

The Company has a strong pipeline of further opportunities, including the role out for existing clients into wider territories, both in the US and Europe, as well as an increasing number of enquiries from other major insurance companies. In order to fully capitalise on these opportunities, the Company will explore further funding options, including possible new debt facilities or equity over the next 12 to 18 months. The Company also has 27.1 million warrants outstanding at a weighted average price of 22.5p that if fully exercised will raise in excess of £6.0 million.

Details of the Placing

Dowgate is acting as sole broker in connection with the Placing. The Company is proposing to raise gross proceeds of approximately £1.08 million through the proposed placing of the Placing Shares at the Placing Price to investors using its existing share authorities to issue shares for cash on a non-pre-emptive basis. The Placing is subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Appendix to this Announcement. Dowgate will commence the Bookbuild in respect of the Placing immediately following the release of this Announcement. The timing of the closing of the Bookbuild and allocations are at the absolute discretion of Dowgate and the Company.

The Placing is subject to the conditions and termination rights set out in the placing agreement between the Company, the Directors and Dowgate (the "Placing Agreement"). Further details of the Placing Agreement can be found in the terms and conditions contained in the Appendix to this Announcement.

In accordance with the Placing Agreement, Dowgate has agreed to use reasonable endeavours to procure, as agent for the Company, Placees to subscribe for the Placing Shares at the Placing Price.

The Placing Price of 20.5 pence per share represents a discount of 2.44 per cent. to the closing price of 21.0 pence per existing ordinary share on 30 November 2023 (being the last business day prior to this Announcement).

Each Placee allocated Placing Shares in the Placing will be sent a form of confirmation in accordance with the standing arrangements in place with Dowgate stating the number of Placing Shares allocated to it, the Placing Price, the aggregate amount owed by such Placee to Dowgate and settlement instructions. Each Placee agrees that it will do all things necessary to ensure that delivery and payment is completed in accordance with either the standing CREST or certificated settlement instructions that it has in place with Dowgate.

A Placee's entitlement to receive any Placing Shares under the Placing will be conditional on Dowgate's receipt of payment in full for such Placing Shares by the relevant time to be stated in the form of confirmation referred to above, or by such later time and/or date as Dowgate and the Company may in their absolute discretion determine, or otherwise in accordance with that confirmation's terms.

Each Placee will be deemed to agree that it will do all things necessary to ensure that delivery and payment is completed as directed by Dowgate in accordance with either the standing CREST or certificated settlement instructions which they have in place with Dowgate.

Settlement of transactions in the Placing Shares (ISIN: GB00BNVVGD77) following Admission will take place within the CREST system, subject to certain exceptions. Admission is expected to occur on 6 December 2023 unless otherwise notified by Dowgate and settlement through CREST of the Placing Shares is expected to take place on 6 December 2023 unless otherwise notified by Dowgate. Admission and settlement may occur at an earlier date. In the event of any difficulties or delays in the admission of the Placing Shares to CREST or the use of CREST in relation to the Placing, the Company and Dowgate may agree that the Placing Shares should be issued in certificated form. Dowgate therefore reserves the right to require settlement for, and delivery of, the Placing Shares to Placees by such other means as it deems necessary, if delivery or settlement is not possible or practicable within the CREST system within the timetable set out in this Announcement or would not be consistent with the regulatory requirements in the Placee's jurisdiction. As Dowgate intends that the proceeds from the issue of Placing Shares will be paid within one Business Day of the delivery of the Placing Shares, it is agreed that Dowgate will use the CASS Delivery Versus Payment exemptions (as set out in CASS 6.1.12R and CASS 7.11.14R within the FCA Handbook Client Assets Sourcebook) with regard to settlement of the Placing Shares and/or monies relating to the Placing.

Interest is chargeable daily on payments not received from Placees on the due date in accordance with the arrangements set out above, in respect of either CREST or certificated deliveries, at the rate of 2 percentage points above prevailing LIBOR as determined by Dowgate.

Each Placee agrees that, if it does not comply with these obligations: (a) the Company may elect at its discretion to be released from all obligations with respect to the issue of all or any such Placing Shares to such Placee; and/or (b) Dowgate may sell (and is irrevocably authorised by such Placee to do so) all or any Placing Shares on such Placee's behalf and then retain from the proceeds, for the account and benefit of Dowgate (i) any amount up to the total amount due to it as, or in respect of, subscription monies, or as interest on such monies, for any Placing Shares, (ii) any amount required to cover any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax (together with any interest or penalties) arising on the sale of such Placing Shares on such Placee's behalf, and (iii) any amount required to cover dealing costs and/or commissions necessarily or reasonably incurred by it in respect of such sale; and (c) such Placee shall remain liable to Dowgate for the full amount of any losses or shortfall and of any costs which it may suffer or incur as a result of it (i) not receiving payment in full for such Placing Shares by the required time, and/or (ii) the sale of any such Placing Shares to any other person at whatever price and on whatever terms actually obtained for such sale by or for it. By communicating a bid for Placing Shares, each Placee confers on Dowgate all such authorities and powers necessary to carry out any such sale under this paragraph and agrees to ratify and confirm all actions which Dowgate lawfully takes in pursuance of such sale.

If Placing Shares are to be delivered to a custodian or settlement agent, Placees must ensure that, upon receipt, the conditional form of confirmation is copied and delivered immediately to the relevant person within that organisation. Insofar as Placing Shares are registered in a Placee's name or that of its nominee or in the name of any person for whom a Placee is contracting as agent or that of a nominee for such person, such Placing Shares should, subject as provided below, be so registered free from any liability to United Kingdom stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. If there are any circumstances in which any other stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax is payable in respect of the issue of the Placing Shares, neither Dowgate nor the Company shall be responsible for the payment thereof. Placees will not be entitled to receive any fee or commission in connection with the Placing.

Conditions of the Placing

The Placing is conditional upon the Placing Agreement becoming unconditional and not having been terminated in accordance with its terms.

The obligations of Dowgate under the Placing Agreement in respect of the Placing are, conditional upon, inter alia:

1 the Company having complied with all its obligations and having satisfied all conditions to be performed or satisfied by it under the Placing Agreement which fall to be performed or satisfied on or prior to Admission;

2 Admission taking place not later than 8.00 a.m. on 6 December 2023 (or such later date as may be agreed in writing between the Company and Dowgate),

(all conditions to the obligations of Dowgate included in the Placing Agreement being together, and some of which are summarised above, the "conditions").

If any of the conditions set out in the Placing Agreement are not fulfilled within the required timescales, or waived by Dowgate in its absolute discretion, then the respective obligations of each party will cease

and the Placing Agreement is then terminated in accordance with its terms, the Placing will lapse and the Placee's rights and obligations shall cease and terminate at such time and each Placee agrees that no claim can be made by or on behalf of the Placee (or any person on whose behalf the Placee is acting) in respect thereof against Dowgate and/or the Company or any of their respective affiliates. By participating in the Placing, each Placee agrees that its rights and obligations cease and terminate only in the circumstances described above and under "Termination of the Placing" below and will not be capable of rescission or termination by it.

Certain conditions may be waived in whole or in part by Dowgate, in its absolute discretion by notice in writing to the Company and Dowgate may also agree in writing with the Company to extend the time for satisfaction of any condition. Any such extension or waiver will not affect Placees' commitments as set out in this Announcement.

Dowgate may terminate the Placing Agreement in certain circumstances, details of which are set out below.

Neither Dowgate, the Company nor any of their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers, employees shall have any liability to any Placee (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise) in respect of any decision any of them may make as to whether or not to waive or to extend the time and/or date for the satisfaction of any condition to the Placing nor for any decision any of them may make as to the satisfaction of any condition or in respect of the Placing generally and by participating in the Placing each Placee agrees that any such decision is within the absolute discretion of Dowgate.

Termination of the Placing

Dowgate may terminate the Placing Agreement, in accordance with its terms, at any time prior to an Admission if, inter alia:

(a) the Company fails, in any respect which Dowgate acting reasonably considers to be material, to comply with its obligations under the Placing Agreement or commits a breach of, inter alia, the rules and regulations of the FCA, FSMA, UK MAR or any other applicable law;

(b) any of the warranties in the Placing Agreement have ceased to be true or accurate in any respect by reference to the circumstances subsisting at that time, or a matter has arisen that might reasonably be expected to give rise to a claim under the indemnities in the Placing Agreement, which Dowgate considers to be material in the context of the Placing;

(c) any statement contained in the Placing Documents (as defined in the Placing Agreement) is or has become untrue, inaccurate or misleading or a matter has arisen which would, if the Placing was made at that time, constitute a omission from the Placing Documents (as defined in the Placing Agreement) or any of them and which in any respect Dowgate acting reasonably considers to be material in the context of the Placing;

(d) in the opinion of Dowgate, there shall have been any material adverse change (whether or not foreseeable at the date of the Placing Agreement) in the condition, earnings, business, management, property, assets, rights, results of operatings of the Company or the Group, which is material in the context of the Company or the Group taken as a whole, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business;

(e) there shall develop, occur or come into effect:

(i) a banking moratorium declared by the UK authorities;

(ii) any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or acts of terrorism or declaration of a national emergency or war by, the United Kingdom;

(iii) any other crisis of national or international effect which in the opinion of Dowgate acting reasonably is materially adverse.

If the Placing Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the rights and obligations of each Placee in respect of the Placing as described in this Announcement shall cease and terminate at such time and no claim can be made by any Placee against Dowgate and/or the Company or any of their respective affiliates in respect thereof.

By participating in the Placing, each Placee agrees with the Company and Dowgate that the exercise by the Company or Dowgate of any right of termination or any other right or other discretion under the Placing Agreement shall be within the absolute discretion of the Company or Dowgate and that neither of the Company nor Dowgate need make any reference to such Placee and that neither Dowgate, the Company, nor any of their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers or employees shall have any liability to such Placee (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise) whatsoever in connection with any such exercise.

By participating in the Placing, each Placee agrees that its rights and obligations terminate only in the circumstances described above and under the "Conditions of the Placing" section above and will not be capable of rescission or termination by it after the issue by Dowgate of a form of confirmation confirming each Placee's allocation and commitment in the Placing.

The Placee acknowledges that such money will not be subject to the protections conferred by the client money rules; as a consequence, this money will not be segregated from Dowgate's money in accordance with the client money rules and will be used by Dowgate in the course of its business; and the Placee will rank only as a general creditor of Dowgate;

Accordingly, references in this Announcement to the Placing Shares being offered, subscribed, acquired or otherwise dealt with should be read as including any offer to, or subscription, acquisition or dealing by, Dowgate and/or any of its respective Affiliates acting as an investor for its or their own account(s). Each Placee further acknowledges that Dowgate and its Affiliates may enter into financing arrangements and swaps with investors in connection with which Dowgate and any of its Affiliates may from time to time acquire, hold or dispose of such securities of the Company, including the Placing Shares. Neither Dowgate nor the Company intends to disclose the extent of any such investment or transaction otherwise than in accordance with any legal or regulatory obligation to do so;

(rr) it will (or will procure that its nominee will) if applicable, make notification to the Company of any interest in the Ordinary Shares in accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules published by the FCA;

(uu) the Company, Dowgate and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the confirmations, acknowledgements, representations, warranties, indemnities, agreements and undertakings in this Announcement ("Placing Confirmations") and, if any of the foregoing Placing Confirmations is or becomes no longer true or accurate, the Placee shall promptly notify Dowgate;

(vv) if it is subscribing for the Placing Shares as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, it is duly authorised and has full power and authority to make, and does make, the Placing Confirmations on behalf of each such account and it acknowledges that it is and will remain liable to Dowgate and the Company for the performance of all its obligations as a Placee in respect of the Placing (regardless of the fact that it is acting for or on behalf of another person);

(ww) it agrees to indemnify on an after-tax basis and hold harmless each of the Company, Dowgate, their respective Affiliates and any person acting on their behalf from any and all costs, claims, liabilities and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) arising out of or in connection with any breach by it of the Placing Confirmations; and

(xx) its participation in the Placing, these terms and conditions and any contractual or non-contractual obligations arising out of, or in relation thereto, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales and the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and decide any proceedings which may arise out of or in connection with these terms and conditions, except that enforcement proceedings in respect of the Placee's obligation to make payment for the Placing Shares (together with any interest chargeable thereon) may be taken by Dowgate or the Company in any jurisdiction.

The Placing Confirmations referred to above are given to each of the Company and Dowgate (for their own benefit and, where relevant, the benefit of their respective Affiliates) and any person acting on their behalf, are irrevocable and shall not be capable of termination by a Placee in any circumstances and will survive completion of the Placing and Admission.

Each Placee, and any person acting on behalf of the Placee, acknowledges that Dowgate does not owe any fiduciary or other duties to any Placee in respect of any representations, warranties, undertakings or indemnities in the Placing Agreement.

The rights and remedies of Dowgate and the Company under these terms and conditions are in addition to any rights and remedies which would otherwise be available to each of them and the exercise or partial exercise of one or more remedies will not prevent the exercise of others. The provisions of this Announcement may be waived, varied or modified as regards specific Placees or on a general basis by Dowgate.

No claim shall be made against the Company, Dowgate or their respective Affiliates or any other person acting on their behalf by a Placee to recover any damage, cost, charge or expense which it may suffer or incur by reason of or arising from the carrying out by it of any work to be done by it pursuant to this Announcement or the performance of its obligations pursuant to this Announcement or otherwise in connection with the Placing.

The agreement to settle a Placee's subscription (and/or the subscription of a person for whom such Placee is contracting as agent) free of stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax depends on the settlement relating only to a subscription by it and/or such person direct from the Company for the Placing Shares in question. Such agreement assumes that the Placing Shares are not being subscribed for in connection with arrangements to issue depositary receipts or to transfer the Placing Shares into a clearance service. If there are any such arrangements, or the settlement relates to any other subsequent dealing in the Placing Shares, stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax may be payable, for which neither the Company nor Dowgate will be responsible, and the Placee to whom (or on behalf of whom, or in respect of the person for whom it is participating in the Placing as an agent or nominee) the allocation, allotment, issue or delivery of Placing Shares has given rise to such UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax undertakes to pay such UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax forthwith and to indemnify on an after-tax basis and to hold harmless the Company and Dowgate in the event that the Company and/or Dowgate have incurred any such liability to UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. If this is the case, each Placee should seek its own advice and notify Dowgate accordingly.

In addition, Placees should note that they will be liable for any capital duty, stamp duty and all other stamp, issue, securities, transfer, registration, documentary or other duties or taxes (including any interest, fines or penalties relating thereto) payable outside the UK by them or any other person on the acquisition by them of any Placing Shares or the agreement by them to acquire any Placing Shares.

All times and dates in this Announcement may be subject to amendment. Dowgate shall notify the Placees and any person acting on behalf of the Placees of any such changes.

The information contained in this Announcement is given at the date of its publication (unless otherwise marked) and is subject to updating, revision and amendment from time to time.
