Molten Ventures plc
("Molten Ventures", "Molten", or the "Company")
Commencement of extended Share Repurchase Programme
Molten Ventures (LSE: GROW, Euronext Dublin: GRW), a leading venture capital firm investing in and developing
high-growth digital technology businesses, announces that, beginning today, 13 March 2025, it will commence an
additional share repurchase programme of up to GBP15m (the "Programme"), as previously announced on 12 February 2025.
The Programme goes significantly beyond the 10% of realisation proceeds previously outlined in the Capital Allocation
Policy, doubling the GBP15m already completed as the Company remains committed to narrowing the current share price
discount to asset value.
The Board will continue to monitor the share price discount to net asset value, and should that discount persist the
Board will consider committing further capital to the investment opportunity that buying back shares at such wide
discounts represents.
The Programme will be financed through existing cash resources and will continue until the earlier of either the
expiration of the general authority received at the Company's 2024 AGM ("General Authority") or upon reaching the
maximum purchase amount intended under the Programme.
The purchased ordinary shares of 1 pence each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") will be held in
treasury.
To implement the Programme, the Company has entered into an irrevocable, non-discretionary agreement with Numis
Securities Limited ("Deutsche Numis") to conduct the Programme on its behalf and carry out on-market purchases of
Ordinary Shares, acting as riskless principal, and to sell on such Ordinary Shares to the Company. Share repurchases
may be made from time to time depending on market conditions, share price and trading volume.
The Company confirms that it currently has no unpublished inside information.
The Programme will operate in accordance with and under the terms of the relevant General Authority. The Programme will
be conducted within the parameters of the Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014/EU and the delegated regulations made
pursuant to it.
As at 13 March 2025, the Company's issued share capital consists of 189,046,450 Ordinary Shares, the total number of
Ordinary Shares in treasury is 4,186,493 and the total number of voting rights in the Company is 184,859,957.
The Company will announce any market repurchase of Ordinary Shares no later than 7.30am on the business day following
the calendar day on which the repurchase occurred.
