Update on Proposed Acquisitions

Ikigai Ventures Limited (LSE: IKIV), a special purpose acquisition company focused on high-growth, scalable businesses, provides the following update in relation to its proposed acquisition, originally announced on 21 August 2025, of Dotlines Global Plc and Audra Solutions Limited (together, the "Target Group") (the "Proposed Transaction"). The Target Group is an established UK-headquartered international technology and telecoms group providing digital platforms, products and services to B2B and B2C customers in southeast Asia and the UK.

The Proposed Transaction continues to advance and work remains ongoing across the financial, legal and regulatory streams required for publication of the relevant admission documentation and completion of the transaction and admission to AIM. The Company will provide a further substantive update once the admission documentation and definitive transaction agreements are in final form.

Commenting on the update, Kane Black, Chief Executive Officer of Ikigai Ventures Limited, said:

"The Board remains focused on delivering this transaction and positioning the enlarged group for admission to AIM. We continue to work closely with the Dotlines and Audra leadership teams as the remaining financial, legal and regulatory workstreams move towards completion. The combination represents a compelling multi-jurisdictional technology platform, and the Board remains confident in the strategic rationale of the Proposed Transaction and believes it will position the enlarged group for its next phase of growth. We will update shareholders further as the transaction advances."
