Georgia Capital PLC (the "Company" or "Georgia Capital") announces today that its board of directors (the "Board") approved a US$ 25 million (GEL 70 million) share buyback and cancellation programme, which will be put in place immediately. The programme will continue until the Company's 2024 Annual General Meeting, scheduled to be 20 May 2024. The Company is seeking renewal of the general authority to repurchase shares at the AGM and in following renewal of the repurchase authorization, share buybacks will be carried out pursuant to the authorization granted at the 2024 AGM until the end of the programme on 31 December 2024. The shares will be purchased in the open market and the cancellation of the treasury shares will be executed on a monthly basis. The purpose of the buyback is to reduce the share capital. Under the buyback programme, the maximum price paid per share will not exceed the latest reported NAV per share amount. The Programme is consistent with the Board's intention, announced today, to make available at least GEL 300 million for share buyback and cancellation programmes through the end of 2026.

In accordance with the authority granted by the shareholders at the 2023 annual general meeting ("AGM"), the maximum number of shares that may be repurchased is 5,344,253. The programme is conducted within certain pre-set parameters, and in accordance with the general authority to repurchase shares granted at the 2023 AGM, Chapter 12 of the FCA Listing Rules, and the provisions of the Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014/EU and of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 (as they form part of UK domestic law).
