Publication of Circular and Notice of GM

Introduction

On 21 November 2025, Capital announced that it had successfully raised gross proceeds of £31 million (approximately US$40 million) before expenses, via a placing of 28,581,503 new common shares in the Company at a price of 107 pence per share. The net proceeds of the Placing of £29 million (approx. US$38 million) will provide additional balance sheet capacity to support the Group's growth strategy as it seeks to capitalise on a highly favourable demand environment and a tightening equipment market.

The Placing Shares are to be issued in two tranches. Admission of the first tranche of 19,672,200 Placing Shares (the "First Placing Shares") is expected to become effective at 8.00 a.m. on 25 November 2025. The allotment and issue of the second tranche of 8,909,303 Placing Shares (the "Second Placing Shares") is conditional upon the passing of the necessary resolutions of the shareholders of the Company.

General Meeting

The Company announces that a circular (the "Circular") containing a notice (the "Notice") convening a general meeting at which resolutions will be proposed to inter alia approve the allotment and issue of the Second Placing Shares (the "General Meeting") will today be published and posted to shareholders of the Company.

The General Meeting will be held at the London office of Panmure Liberum, Ropemaker Place, Level 12, 25 Ropemaker Street, London EC2Y 9LY, United Kingdom on 11 December 2025 at 10.00 a.m. GMT. The purpose of the General Meeting is to consider and, if thought fit, to pass the necessary resolutions to approve the issue of the Second Placing Shares and to grant an additional authority to issue new Common Shares up to approximately 10% of the Company's enlarged issued share capital following the issue of the Second Placing Shares.

Shareholders who are unable to attend in person should complete and submit their votes online or complete and return the Form of Proxy enclosed with the Circular to the Company's registrars as soon as possible. To be valid, the Form of Proxy provided must be lodged and received no later than 10.00 a.m. GMT on 9 December 2025, or in the case of shares held through CREST, via the CREST system. Details of electronic voting instructions are set out in the Notice.

Any person who holds their interest in the Company by way of depository interests rather than Common Shares will receive a Form of Instruction. To be valid, the Form of Instruction must be lodged and received no later than 10.00 a.m. GMT on 8 December 2025 in accordance with the instructions in the Notice.

Total Voting Rights

Following the announcement of the results of the Placing, the number of Placing Shares comprising the First Placing Shares was marginally reduced by 25 Placing Shares so as to be within the existing authority of the Directors to allot and issue Common Shares free of pre-emption rights, and the number of Placing Shares comprising the Second Placing Shares was increased commensurately by 25 Placing Shares. This does not affect the overall number of Placing Shares or the funds raised under the Placing. Following Admission of the First Placing Shares, which is expected to occur on 25 November 2025, the Company's issued share capital will comprise 216,394,478 Common Shares of US$0.0001 each. From such Admission, 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 change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

Capitalised terms not otherwise defined in the text of this announcement have the meanings set out in the Circular.
