COMPANY WEBSITE ADDRESS CONTAINING ALL INFORMATION REQUIRED BY AIM RULE 26:

Fiinu joined AIM in July 2022 by way of a reverse takeover of Immediate Acquisition plc (formerly Immedia Group plc) and during August 2025 it has conditionally agreed terms to acquire the entire issued, and to be issued, share capital of Everfex P.S.A. "(Everfex"). Fiinu's main country of operation is the United Kingdom. Fiinu Fiinu is a fintech business which has been developing its Plugin Overdraft® product, an Open Banking-enabled unbundled overdraft solution. The Plugin Overdraft® is a technical Banking as a service ("BaaS") solution that allows customers to have an overdraft facility without changing their existing bank or eMoney account. Open Banking allows the Group's Plugin Overdraft® to attach to the customer's primary bank account, no matter which bank they use. There is a substantial market opportunity for the Group in the UK alone, with over 29 million potential retail consumers who may consider adding Plugin Overdraft® to their bank account. The Group's Plugin Overdraft® platform can provide retail customers with an overdraft facility without switching banks, giving them access to mainstream credit, which can improve their credit scores and help avoid expensive late payment fees. On 15 January 2025, the Company announced that it had signed non-binding heads of terms for its first white label deal for its Plugin Overdraft® product with an independent UK bank, pursuant to which the Group would provide the bank with its BaaS platform incorporating the Plugin Overdraft® product. The launch Is anticipated during Q4 2025. Everfex Everfex is a recently incorporated company, that acquired the business, trade and certain assets of Stały Kurs on 1 January 2025. As part of the Stały Kurs acquisition, Everfex purchased the right to use the Stały Kurs name and will continue to trade as Stały Kurs in Poland. Stały Kurs was established in September 2019, in Poland, to provide currency hedging solutions. The business serves small and medium-sized businesses exposed to Polish Zloty fluctuations against all major currencies. Over the years Stały Kurs had developed into a key player in the Polish market, specialising in supporting import and export businesses with currency exchange. Stały Kurs has demonstrated year-on-year growth in revenue and profitability, primarily driven by the expansion of its client base and improved operational efficiency. At the end of Q2 2023, a new management team, led by CEO, Karol Oleksa, restructured aspects of the Stały Kurs business and introduced a more robust governance and risk management framework. As part of this restructuring the previous CEO left the business in Q2 2023, and sold his shareholding in Stały Kurs. In late 2024, the business underwent a restructuring in preparation for its transfer to Everfex, and in July 2025 the then owners of Everfex (being the Beneficial Owners) transferred Everfex to Granicus Holdings, which entity has entered into the Acquisition Agreement for the sale of Everfex to the Company. The Admission is sought as a result of a reverse take over under AIM Rule 14.
