Result of Placing and Posting of Circular

Rosslyn (AIM: RDT), the provider of a leading cloud-based enterprise data analytics platform, is pleased to announce that, further to the announcement made on 8 October 2024 regarding the Fundraising, 2023 CLN conversion and the Capital Reorganisation (the "Launch Announcement"), it has raised £1.64 million (before expenses) via the placing of 32,720,000 Placing Shares (comprising 28,660,000 General Placing Shares and 4,060,000 EIS/VCT Placing Shares) at the Issue Price of 5 pence per share, as well as the issue of £1.20 million of Convertible Loan Notes.

In addition, a retail offer via Bookbuild platform to raise up to £0.25 million was announced and opened to eligible investors in the United Kingdom at 4.55 p.m. on 8 October 2024 (the "Retail Offer Announcement"). It is expected that the Retail Offer will be closed on 10 October 2024. Further information of the Retail Offer can be found in the Retail Offer Announcement.

Furthermore, and as announced in the Launch Announcement, James Appleby, Non-Executive Chairman has confirmed his intention to subscribe for £264,000 via the issue of Subscription Shares at the Issue Price following the release of the Company's FY24 Results.

Related party transaction

Canaccord Genuity Group Inc. ("Canaccord"), a substantial shareholder of the Company (as defined in the AIM Rules), has conditionally subscribed for 2,500,000 Placing Shares at the Issue Price and £400,000 of the 2024 Convertible Loan Notes. The participation by Canaccord in the Fundraising constitutes a related party transaction under rule 13 of the AIM Rules.

Accordingly, Cavendish, acting in its capacity as the Company's nominated adviser, confirms that it considers the terms of the participation by Canaccord in the Fundraising is fair and reasonable in so far as the Shareholders are concerned.

General Meeting

The Fundraise, Conversion and Capital Reorganisation are each conditional on, inter alia, shareholder approval of certain resolutions to be proposed at a general meeting of the Company to be held on 25 October 2024.

The Circular, including the Notice of General Meeting, is being posted to Shareholders today and is available on the Company's website at https://www.rosslyn.ai/investors.

Admission, settlement and dealings

Application will be made for admission of the New Ordinary Shares (comprising 17,659,275 existing Ordinary Shares following the Capital Reorganisation, 32,720,000 Placing Shares, 13,328,150 Conversion Shares and up to 5,000,000 Retail Offer Shares) to trading on AIM, being the market of that name operated by the London Stock Exchange.

Admission is expected to take place at 8.00 a.m. on or around 28 October 2024.

In addition to the passing of the Resolutions, the Placing, Retail Offer, issue of the 2024 Convertible Loan Notes, Conversion and Capital Reorganisation are each conditional upon, among other things, Admission becoming effective and the Placing Agreement not being terminated in accordance with its terms.

The New Ordinary Shares following the Capital Reorganisation will have the same rights as those currently accruing to the Existing Ordinary  Shares in issue, including those relating to voting and entitlement to dividends. The Placing Shares, Retail Offer Shares and Conversion Shares, when issued, will be fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the New Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after the date of issue.

Assuming the Director's Intended Subscription proceeds, the Company will apply for admission of the Subscription Shares to trading on AIM separately and to take effect following publication of the FY24 Results and the admission of the New Ordinary Shares;

Capitalised terms in this announcement shall have the same meaning as in the Circular.
