SEED Innovations Limited (AIM: SEED), the AIM-quoted investment company, announces the results of the Tender Offer set out in the circular published by the Company on 14 August 2025 (the "Circular"), which closed at 11 a.m. on 5 September 2025.

Of a total Tender Offer of up to 86,826,818 Ordinary Shares (c. 45% of issued share capital, excluding shares held in treasury) shareholders validly tendered 4,982,818 shares (the "Tender Shares") resulting in a take up of 5.7% indicating strong support for the Company's new focus on robotics, AI and other disruptive technologies.

The Tender Price was 2.2 pence per Share resulting in a cost to the Company of £109,622 and these proceeds shall be paid to tendering shareholders by cheque or credited to applicable CREST accounts on or before 19 September 2025.

Following the purchase of the Tender Shares, the Company will have retained cash of approximately £3.1 million which, as at the date of this announcement, is equivalent to 1.6p in cash per share based on the resultant shares in issue following the cancellation of the Tender Shares and shares held in Treasury.

Luke Cairns, Interim Chair, commented: "We are encouraged that only a small number of shareholders chose to participate in the Tender Offer, which reflects a strong endorsement of our new investing policy focused on high-growth opportunities in robotics, AI, and related disruptive technologies. Our shareholders clearly recognise the potential of this exciting sector and share our confidence in SEED's ability to deliver long-term value as we pivot towards these transformative industries. The regulatory process is nearly complete to enable us to appoint additional directors and more formally begin the implementation of the new strategy."

DETAILS

The Company offered to purchase up to 45 per cent of the holdings of Eligible Shareholders representing a maximum of 86,826,818 Ordinary Shares (being approximately 45 per cent. of the Company's existing issued share capital, excluding shares held in treasury) under the Tender Offer. In total, 4,982,818 Ordinary Shares were validly tendered under the Tender Offer. As such, the total number of Ordinary Shares being acquired by the Company is 4,982,818.

It is expected that cheques will be despatched, and CREST accounts will be credited with proceeds in respect of successfully tendered shares on or before 19 September 2025.

The 4,982,818 Ordinary Shares tendered under the Tender Offer will be repurchased by the Company under the Tender Document and cancelled. The Company is also taking this opportunity to cancel the 22,269,946 Ordinary Shares currently held in treasury and accordingly application has been made for cancellation of a total of 27,252,764 Ordinary Shares from trading on AIM with cancellation expected to become effective at 8.00 a.m on 10 September 2025.

The ordinary issued share capital of the Company following the purchase will be 187,967,077 (with no ordinary shares held in treasury). The total voting rights in the Company following the purchase and cancellation will be 187,967,077.

The figure of 187,967,077 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 a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
