Cost Reduction Programme and Bitcoin Purchase

Cost Reduction Programme

Satsuma Technology PLC (LSE: SATS, the Company) has undertaken a comprehensive review of its cost base. The Board has identified multiple cost-saving initiatives and is implementing its revised cost reduction strategy that is expected to reduce the Group's annualised operating expenditure from approximately £6.7m to approximately £2.7m, with further reductions expected. This represents an initial annualised saving of approximately £4.2m, or 62% to date.

The cost reductions include a reduction in staffing levels, renegotiation of advisory and service provider contracts, the rationalisation of consultancy arrangements, and the reduction of expenditure that is not aligned with the Company's current scale and strategy. The Board expects the majority of these savings to take effect within the current quarter, with further reductions anticipated thereafter.

At the reduced run rate, the Company's existing cash reserves provide a runway of over 24 months of operating costs, without requiring any additional revenue or capital raising.

One-off costs associated with the recent requisition proceedings and related corporate actions, including executive termination payments, amounted to approximately £1.35m.

Bitcoin Acquisition

Following the cost-saving initiatives identified and implemented by the Board, with further measures under review, the Company has acquired 25.65 BTC as part of its long-term treasury strategy, while maintaining sufficient fiat reserves to support operational outflows for the foreseeable future, providing a resilient and debt-free balance sheet. The Company has purchased 25.65 Bitcoin at an average price of £51,939 per Bitcoin for a total purchase amount of £1,384,175, funded from existing fiat reserves.

Outlook

The Board intends to provide shareholders with regular monthly updates on the Company's Bitcoin holdings, net asset value, key performance indicators, and financial position. The Company's strategy remains focused on disciplined Bitcoin accumulation, cost efficiency, and transparency.

Ranald McGregor-Smith, Executive Chairman of Satsuma, commented:

"The Board's immediate priority has been to right-size the Company's cost base to reflect its current scale. The actions announced today reduce our annualised expenditure by over 60% and extend our cash runway significantly - providing the financial stability from which to pursue disciplined Bitcoin accumulation. We have also taken the opportunity to add to the treasury at what we believe are attractive levels.

With institutional-grade custody, no debt, no leverage, and a Main Market listing, Satsuma is well positioned to deliver long-term value for shareholders. The Board expects to make further announcements shortly regarding the addition of new Directors and the Company's operational strategy."
