Acceler8 Ventures Plc (LSE: AC8, "AC8" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its entire enlarged issued share capital, consisting of 752,178,246 ordinary shares of £0.01 each (the "Ordinary Shares"), has today been admitted to the Equity Shares (Commercial Companies) category of the Official List of the FCA ("ESCC") and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market for listed securities under the ticker "AC8" and ISIN JE00BNG2DL20.
This marks the culmination of AC8's all-share acquisition of Intuitive Investments Group plc ("IIG") and the next strategic step in the enlarged group's evolution, positioning the enlarged group to be able to access the broader institutional investor base through the more appropriate public market platform of an ESCC listing on which investors can more easily assess operational progress, strategic positioning and long-term growth opportunities.
AC8's principal operating business is Hui10 Inc. ("Hui10"), a Beijing-headquartered technology group developing digital infrastructure that connects consumers, retailers, payment providers and commercial partners across China's large and rapidly evolving consumer ecosystem. Hui10 is building a connected digital layer within China's regulated lottery ecosystem, designed to enhance consumer engagement, improve the customer experience and expand access through innovative products, services and technology-enabled solutions.
Dealings in the Ordinary Shares will commence on the London Stock Exchange at 8:00 a.m. today, 14 August 2026.
Appointment of Sole Corporate Broker
AC8 is also pleased to announce the appointment of Joh. Berenberg, Gossler & Co KG, London ("Berenberg") as sole corporate broker and financial adviser with immediate effect.
Daniel Levine, Chief Executive Officer of AC8, said: " Today's move to the Official List of the FCA and the ESCC segment of the main market is the culmination of a rigorous and carefully executed process, and represents a significant milestone for the enlarged group. This combination allows us to resolve a structural disconnect that was obscuring real value, and to present this business to the market as a growing, operationally active technology driven company. We now have a more appropriate public-market platform from which to broaden investor engagement, communicate our operational progress and execution of our long-term growth strategy."
Sir Nigel Rudd, Independent Non-Executive Chairman of AC8, said: "Today marks the next step of what I continue to believe is a compelling journey of long-term value creation for our shareholders. Our focus is to build on Hui10's strong operational foundations and its unique market position, with today's ESCC listing further enhancing our ability to generate long-term shareholder value."
