Issue of Equity

Tortilla Mexican Grill plc, the largest fast-casual Mexican restaurant business in the UK and Europe, today announces its intention to conduct a non-pre-emptive placing (the "Placing") of new ordinary shares in the Company ("Placing Shares" or "New Ordinary Shares") to raise gross proceeds of approximately £2.5 million at a price of 65 pence per share (the "Placing Price"). The Placing Shares represent approximately 10 per cent. of the Company's existing issued share capital.

The Placing will be conducted through an accelerated bookbuild which will be launched immediately following this announcement (together with the Appendices, the "Announcement") and will be made available to eligible institutional investors (the "Bookbuild"). The Company expects to close the Bookbuild no later than 7.00 a.m. on 16 October 2026, but Panmure Liberum Limited ("Panmure Liberum") and the Company reserve the right to close the Bookbuild earlier or later, without further notice. Panmure Liberum is acting as sole bookrunner in relation to the Placing.

• Directors of the Company, CFO Richard Haley and Founder & Group CEO Brandon Stephens, have indicated their intention to participate in the Placing
• The final number of Placing Shares to be issued pursuant to the Placing, and the allocation of such Placing Shares, will be agreed by Panmure Liberum and the Company at the close of the Bookbuild, and the result will be announced as soon as practicable thereafter. The Placing Shares will, when issued, be credited as fully paid and rank pari passu in all respects with the existing issued ordinary shares of the Company
• The Placing is subject to the terms and conditions set out in Appendix I to this Announcement
• Application will be made to London Stock Exchange plc for the admission of the New Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective and that dealings in the New Ordinary Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on or around 20 October 2026

Brandon Stephens, Founder and Group CEO of Tortilla, commented:

"Our recent half-year results demonstrated solid progress across the business, with strong like-for-like sales growth in both the UK and France. We are keen to build on that momentum from a stronger balance sheet. This Placing allows us to repay our short-term overdraft and strengthen our headroom, enabling us to execute our Value Creation Plan at greater pace. The investment will accelerate initiatives to drive sales and improve margins: broadening our menu, investing in our technology platform, refreshing our brand, developing our franchise capabilities and enhancing the customer experience both in-store and online. Richard and I are both investing alongside shareholders, which reflects our confidence in the plan. I'd like to thank our investors for their continued support."

Background to and reasons for the Placing

Following the release of the Group's Half-Year results on 29 September 2026, the Group is seeking to raise approximately £2.5 million (before expenses), for working capital purposes and to strengthen the Group's balance sheet, in particular by increasing the headroom under the Group's net leverage covenant. In addition, the Company intends to repay, in full, the short-term overdraft of approximately £1.3 million obtained from Santander in May 2026.

The Group is forecast to remain within all of its bank covenants at each quarterly test date but headroom is sensitive to trading performance. As UK earnings grow and losses in France reduce, headroom is expected to build through 2027. However, in the event that UK sales were to fall and variable costs not reduced in sufficient time, covenant headroom could tighten, assuming no additional mitigating actions were taken. Whilst the Group would have additional mitigating levers it could pull, these would be at the expense of the Group's long-term strategy, as they would put short-term liquidity and EBITDA targets first.

The proposed Placing, with approximately £2.5 million proceeds expected excluding costs, is intended to reduce this risk and provide significant additional EBITDA headroom on net leverage covenants.

The proposed Placing would also allow the Group to accelerate the implementation of its VCP. In particular, UK revenue-driving activities under the VCP include broader in-store and delivery menu offerings, corporate menu and catering development, an overhaul of the loyalty programme and investment in branding. It also includes light-touch restaurant refreshes to the new "Tortilla 2.0" branding, improved restaurant signage, an upgraded kiosk journey and new menu screens, a more focused pricing strategy, and further development of the Group's franchise capabilities. Management forecasts that implementing these VCP activities could lead to an uplift of at least 10% in FY27 adjusted EBITDA against its base case projections.

UK Product Governance Requirements

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the "UK Product Governance Rules"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the UK Product Governance Rules) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the New Ordinary Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that such New Ordinary Shares are: (a) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in Chapter 3 of the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook ("COBS"); and (b) eligible for distribution through all permitted distribution channels (the "UK target market assessment"). Notwithstanding the UK target market assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the New Ordinary Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the New Ordinary Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the New Ordinary Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The UK target market assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Placing. Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the UK target market assessment, Panmure Liberum will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties.

EU Product Governance Requirements

Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the New Ordinary Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the New Ordinary Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the New Ordinary Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the New Ordinary Shares. Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, Panmure Liberum have only procured investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties.

APPENDIX I

Bookbuild

Panmure Liberum will today commence an accelerated bookbuilding process to determine demand for participation in the Placing by potential Placees (the "Bookbuild"). Panmure Liberum and the Company shall be entitled to effect the Placing by such alternative method to the Bookbuild as they may, in their sole discretion, determine.

Details of the Placing

Panmure Liberum has entered into a placing agreement with the Company (the "Placing Agreement") under which Panmure Liberum has, on the terms and subject to the conditions set out therein, undertaken to use its reasonable endeavours to procure, as the Company's placing agent for the purpose of the Placing, subscribers for the Placing Shares at the Placing Price.

The Placing Agreement contains customary undertakings and warranties given by the Company to Panmure Liberum including as to the accuracy of information contained in this Announcement, to matters relating to the Company and its business and a customary indemnity given by the Company to Panmure Liberum in respect of liabilities arising out of or in connection with the Placing and/or Admission.

The Placing is conditional upon, inter alia:

• Admission becoming effective; and
• the obligations of Panmure Liberum under the Placing Agreement not having been terminated in accordance with its terms.

The Placing Shares will, as from the date when they are issued, be fully paid or credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing issued Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared (if any), made or paid on or in respect of the Ordinary Shares after Admission.

No underwriting

The Placing is not being underwritten by any party.

Offer Personal

The offering of Placing Shares and the agreement arising from acceptance of the Placing is personal to each Placee and does not constitute an offering to any other person or to the public. A Placee may not assign, transfer or in any other manner deal with its rights or obligations under the agreement arising from the acceptance of the Placing, without the prior written agreement of Panmure Liberum in accordance with all relevant legal requirements.

Entire Agreement

The terms set out in this Appendix and the allocation of Placing Shares (including the subscription amount payable) as confirmed to a Placee constitute the entire agreement as to the terms of the Placing and a Placee's participation in the Placing to the exclusion of prior representations, understandings and agreements between them. Any variation of such terms must be in writing.

Application for admission to trading

An application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for Admission. It is expected that settlement of the Placing Shares will take place and Admission will become effective at 8.00 a.m. on or around 20 October 2026 and that dealings in the Placing Shares will commence at that time.

Participation in, and principal terms of, the Placing

• Panmure Liberum is arranging the Placing as placing agent of the Company for the purpose of using its reasonable endeavours to procure Placees at the Placing Price for the Placing Shares.
• Participation in the Placing will only be available to persons who may lawfully be, and are, invited to participate by Panmure Liberum. Panmure Liberum and its affiliates may participate in the Placing as principal.
• The Bookbuild, if successful, will establish the number of Placing Shares to be issued at the Placing Price. The number of Placing Shares to be issued will be agreed between Panmure Liberum and the Company following completion of the Bookbuild. The number of Placing Shares will be announced on a Regulatory Information Service following the completion of the Bookbuild.
• To bid in the Bookbuild, prospective Placees should communicate their bid by telephone or in writing to their usual sales contact at Panmure Liberum. Each bid should state the number of Placing Shares which the prospective Placee wishes to subscribe for at the Placing Price. Bids may be scaled down by Panmure Liberum on the basis referred to in paragraph 9 below.
• The timing of the closing of the Bookbuild will be at the discretion of Panmure Liberum. The Company reserves the right (upon agreement with Panmure Liberum) to reduce or seek to increase the amount to be raised pursuant to the Placing, in its absolute discretion.
• Each Placee's allocation will be confirmed to Placees orally or in writing by Panmure Liberum, and evidenced by a trade confirmation or contract note which will be dispatched as soon as practicable thereafter. The terms of this Appendix will be deemed incorporated by reference therein. The oral or written confirmation to such Placee will constitute an irrevocable legally binding commitment upon such person (who will at that point become a Placee) in favour of Panmure Liberum and the Company, under which it agrees to acquire the number of Placing Shares allocated to it at the Placing Price on the terms and conditions set out in this Appendix and in accordance with the Company's articles of association. Except as required by law or regulation, no press release or other announcement will be made by Panmure Liberum or the Company using the name of any Placee (or its agent), in its capacity as Placee (or agent), other than with such Placee's prior written consent.
• Subject to paragraphs 5 and 6 above, Panmure Liberum may choose to accept bids, either in whole or in part, on the basis of allocations determined at its discretion (in agreement with the Company) and may scale down any bids for this purpose on such basis as it may determine. Panmure Liberum may also, notwithstanding paragraphs 5 and 6 above, subject to the prior consent of the Company: (a) allocate Placing Shares after the time of any initial allocation to any person submitting a bid after that time; and (b) allocate Placing Shares after the Bookbuild has closed to any person submitting a bid after that time.
• Each Placee will have an immediate, separate, irrevocable and binding obligation, owed to Panmure Liberum, to pay in cleared funds immediately on the settlement date (or as separately agreed with Panmure Liberum in the case of certificated settlement), in accordance with the registration and settlement requirements set out below, an amount equal to the product of the Placing Price and the number of Placing Shares such Placee has agreed to take up and the Company has agreed to allot.
• To the fullest extent permissible by law, none of the Company, Panmure Liberum or any of their respective affiliates shall have any responsibility or liability (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) to any Placee (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise) under these terms and conditions. In particular, none of the Company, Panmure Liberum or any of their respective affiliates shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort or otherwise and including, to the fullest extent permissible by law, any fiduciary duties) in respect of Panmure Liberum's conduct of the Bookbuild or Placing. Each Placee acknowledges and agrees that the Company is responsible for the allotment of the Placing Shares to the Placees and Panmure Liberum shall have no liability to the Placees for the failure of the Company to fulfil those obligations.

Conditions of the Placing

Panmure Liberum's obligations under the Placing Agreement in respect of the Placing Shares are conditional on, inter alia:

• the Company allotting the Placing Shares in accordance with the Placing Agreement; and
• Admission taking place not later than 8.00a.m. (London time) on 20 October 2026 or such later time and/or date as may be agreed between the Company and Panmure Liberum, not being later than 5:00 p.m. (London time) on 3 November 2026 (the "Long Stop Date").

If (i) any of the conditions contained in the Placing Agreement in respect of the Placing Shares are not fulfilled or waived by Panmure Liberum by the time or date where specified (or such later time or date as the Company and Panmure Liberum may agree, not being later than the Long Stop Date), or (ii) the Placing Agreement is terminated as described below, the Placing will lapse and the Placees' rights and obligations hereunder in relation to the Placing Shares shall cease and terminate at such time and each Placee agrees that no claim can be made by the Placee in respect thereof.

Panmure Liberum may, in its absolute discretion, waive compliance by the Company with the whole or any part of any of the Company's obligations in relation to the conditions in the Placing Agreement, and the time and/or date for satisfaction of any such condition may be extended by agreement between the Company and Panmure Liberum (but not beyond the Long Stop Date), save that certain conditions, including but not limited to Admission taking place and the Company allotting the Placing Shares subject only to Admission, may not be waived. Any such extension or waiver will not affect Placees' commitments as set out in this Announcement.

None of Panmure Liberum or the Company, nor any of their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers, consultants or employees, shall have any liability to any Placee (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise) in respect of any decision they may make as to whether or not to waive or to extend the time and/or date for the satisfaction of any condition to the Placing nor for any decision they may make as to the satisfaction of any condition or in respect of the Placing generally and by participating in the Placing each Placee agrees that any such decision is within the absolute discretion of Panmure Liberum.

Right to terminate under the Placing Agreement

Panmure Liberum is entitled in its absolute discretion, at any time before Admission, to terminate the Placing Agreement by giving notice to the Company if, amongst other things:

• in the opinion of Panmure Liberum (acting in good faith), the warranties given by the Company to Panmure Liberum are not true and accurate or have become misleading (or would not be true and accurate or would be misleading if they were repeated at any time before Admission) by reference to the facts subsisting at the time when the notice referred to above is given, in each case which is material in the context of the Placing and Admission;
• in the opinion of Panmure Liberum (acting in good faith), the Company fails to comply with any of its obligations under the Placing Agreement, the Companies Act 2006, the FSMA, the AIM Rules or other applicable law and that failure is material in the context of the Placing and Admission;
• in the opinion of Panmure Liberum (acting in good faith), any statement contained in this Announcement or any other document issued in connection with the Placing has become or been discovered to be untrue or inaccurate or misleading, in each case which is material in the context of the Placing and Admission;
• a matter having arisen which is likely to give rise to a claim under the indemnity included in the Placing Agreement;
• in the opinion of Panmure Liberum (acting in good faith), there has been a development or event (or any development or event involving a prospective change of which the Company is, or might reasonably be expected to be, aware) which might reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on or affecting the operations, the financial position and/or prospects of the Company or the group or which is or will be or might reasonably be expected to be materially prejudicial to the Placing and/or Admission; or
• there has been a material adverse change in national or international financial, political, economic or stock market conditions which is relevant to the Placing; an incident of terrorism, outbreak or escalation of hostilities, war, declaration of martial law; a suspension or material limitation in trading of securities generally on any stock exchange; any change in currency exchange rates or exchange controls or a disruption of settlement systems or a material disruption in commercial banking, in each case as would be likely in the opinion of Panmure Liberum (acting in good faith) to materially prejudice the success of the Placing and/or Admission.

The rights and obligations of the Placees shall terminate only in the circumstances described in these terms and conditions and in the Placing Agreement and will not be subject to termination by the Placee or any prospective Placee at any time or in any circumstances. By participating in the Placing, Placees agree that the exercise by Panmure Liberum of any right of termination or other discretion under the Placing Agreement shall be within the absolute discretion of Panmure Liberum, and that it need not make any reference to Placees and that it shall have no liability to Placees whatsoever in connection with any such exercise or decision not to exercise. Placees will have no rights against Panmure Liberum, the Company or any of their respective directors or employees under the Placing Agreement pursuant to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 (as amended).

No admission document or prospectus

Registration and settlement

Settlement of transactions in the Placing Shares following Admission will take place within CREST, subject to certain exceptions. Settlement will take place on a delivery versus payment basis. However, Panmure Liberum reserves the right to require settlement for, and delivery of, the Placing Shares (or a portion thereof) to Placees by such other means that it deems necessary if delivery or settlement is not possible or practicable within CREST within the timetable set out in this Announcement or would not be consistent with the regulatory requirements in any Placee's jurisdiction.

Following the close of the Bookbuild, each Placee allocated Placing Shares in the Placing will be sent a trade confirmation or contract note stating the number of Placing Shares allocated to it at the Placing Price, the aggregate amount owed by such Placee to Panmure Liberum (as agent for the Company) and settlement instructions. Each Placee agrees that it will do all things necessary to ensure that delivery and payment is completed in accordance with either the CREST or certificated settlement instructions that it has in place with Panmure Liberum. Settlement will be through Panmure Liberum against CREST participant account: Panmure Liberum Limited (CREST ID: 4FQAQ and Member Account ID: 2013904). For the avoidance of doubt, Placing allocations are expected to be booked with a trade date of 16 October 2026 and settlement date of 20 October 2026 in accordance with the instructions set out in the trade confirmation.

The Company will instruct its registrar to deliver the Placing Shares to the CREST account operated by Panmure Liberum as agent for the Company and Panmure Liberum will enter its delivery (DEL) instruction into the CREST system. The input to CREST by a Placee of a matching or acceptance instruction will then allow delivery of the relevant Placing Shares to that Placee against payment.

Interest is chargeable daily on payments not received from Placees on the due date in accordance with the arrangements set out above at the rate of two percentage points above the Sterling Overnight Index Average (SONIA) as determined by Panmure Liberum.

Each Placee is deemed to agree that, if it does not comply with these obligations, Panmure Liberum may sell any or all of the Placing Shares allocated to that Placee on such Placee's behalf and retain from the proceeds, for Panmure Liberum's account and benefit (as agent for the Company), an amount equal to the aggregate amount owed by the Placee plus any interest due. The relevant Placee will, however, remain liable and shall indemnify Panmure Liberum (as agent for the Company) on demand for any shortfall below the aggregate amount owed by it and may be required to bear any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax or securities transfer tax (together with any interest or penalties) which may arise upon the sale of such Placing Shares on such Placee's behalf. By communicating a bid for Placing Shares to Panmure Liberum, each Placee confers on Panmure Liberum all such authorities and powers necessary to carry out any such sale and agrees to ratify and confirm all actions which Panmure Liberum lawfully takes in pursuance of such sale.

If Placing Shares are to be delivered to a custodian or settlement agent, Placees should ensure that the trade confirmation or contract note is copied and delivered immediately to the relevant person within that organisation. Insofar as Placing Shares are registered in a Placee's name or that of its nominee or in the name of any person for whom a Placee is contracting as agent or that of a nominee for such person, such Placing Shares should, subject as provided below, be so registered free from any liability to UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax or securities transfer tax. Placees will not be entitled to receive any fee or commission in connection with the Placing.

By participating in the Placing, each Placee (and any person acting on such Placee's behalf) makes the following representations, warranties, acknowledgements, agreements and undertakings (as the case may be) to the Company and Panmure Liberum, namely that, each Placee (and any person acting on such Placee's behalf):

The agreement to settle a Placee's subscription (and/or the subscription of a person for whom such Placee is contracting as agent) free of stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax depends on the settlement relating only to a subscription by it and/or such person direct from the Company for the Placing Shares in question. Such agreement assumes that the Placing Shares are not being subscribed for in connection with arrangements to issue depositary receipts or to transfer the Placing Shares into a clearance service. If there are any such arrangements, or the settlement relates to any other subsequent dealing in the Placing Shares, stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax may be payable, for which none of the Company or Panmure Liberum will be responsible, and the Placee to whom (or on behalf of whom, or in respect of the person for whom it is participating in the Placing as an agent or nominee) the allocation, allotment, issue or delivery of Placing Shares has given rise to such UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax undertakes to pay such UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax forthwith and to indemnify on an after-tax basis and to hold harmless the Company and Panmure Liberum in the event that any of the Company or Panmure Liberum has incurred any such liability to UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. If this is the case, each Placee should seek its own advice and notify Panmure Liberum accordingly.

Each Placee, and any person acting on behalf of the Placee, acknowledges that Panmure Liberum does not owe any fiduciary or other duties to any Placee in respect of any representations, warranties, undertakings or indemnities in the Placing Agreement.
