Results
Gledhow Investments plc is pleased to announce its unaudited half year results ("interim results") for the six-month
period from 1 October 2024 to 31 March 2025. These interim results have not been audited or reviewed by the Company's
auditor.
As announced on 21 May 2025, the Company acquired a combination of LSE, AIM and Aquis listed and quoted shares, and a
small number of unlisted pre-IPO shares, in order to increase the overall portfolio that can be monetised, allowing the
Company to obtain further cash in order to carry out its investment policy and seek to expand its investment strategy
in due course.
The Company continues to seek long-term capital growth.
The Company had cash of GBP 217,020 at the period end. The Company made a pre-tax loss of GBP 51,190 which included net
unrealised losses on investments of GBP 153,816. The unaudited net cash balance as at today's date is approximately
GBP402,000.
The Company also notes the very recent share price movement in Coinsilium Group Limited, whereby Gledhow holds the
following warrants in Coinsilium:
Warrants Exercise Price Current Price Exercise Cost Current Profit

1,200,000 GBP0.0375 GBP0.79 GBP45,000 GBP948,000
TOTAL GROSS PROFIT AT YESTERDAY'S CLOSING BID PRICE GBP2,001,333
Change of Auditor
Gledhow announces that it has appointed Pointon Young LLP as the Company's auditor for the financial year ended 30 September 2025. The Company's previous auditor, BKL Audit LLP, advised the board of its decision to focus its provision of audit services on selected markets. Consequently, BKL Audit LLP would no longer be able to act for companies listed on the Aquis Stock Exchange and accordingly tendered their resignation as the Company's auditor.
As required by section 519 of the Companies Act 2006, BKL Audit LLP confirms that there are no matters in connection with this change that should be brought to the attention of the Company's shareholders or creditors.
Notice of General Meeting for Share Sub-Division

1. Introduction and Background to the General Meeting
As announced on 21 May 2025, the Company acquired a combination of LSE, AIM and Aquis listed and quoted shares, and a small number of unlisted pre-IPO shares, in order to increase the overall portfolio that can be monetised, allowing the Company to obtain further cash in order to carry out its investment policy and seek to expand its investment strategy in due course. In order to acquire GBP441,182 worth of these assets, the Company issued 9,949,084 Existing Ordinary Shares that were held in treasury, with the remainder GBP398,899 being satisfied through the issue of convertible loan notes ("CLNs"). The CLNs are convertible into New Ordinary Shares at GBP0.00425, being below the par value of GBP0.01 per share for the Existing Ordinary Shares. The Company is not permitted by law to issue shares at an issue price which is below their nominal value, and therefor, in order to be able to convert the CLNs, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval to sub-divide the Existing Ordinary Shares of GBP0.01 into the New Ordinary Shares of GBP0.001, amend the Articles of Association and renewal of the Company's share capital authorities.
A notice convening the General Meeting at 10:30 a.m. on 23 July 2025, at Peterhouse Capital Limited, 3rd Floor, 80 Cheapside, London, EC2V 6EE, to consider the Resolutions, is set out at the end of this Circular.
2. Share Sub-Division of Ordinary Shares
The Existing Ordinary Shares have a current nominal value of GBP0.01 per share. In the future if the Company wanted to raise funds via an issue of further New Ordinary Shares it could not do so at a price of less than GBP0.01, being the Existing Ordinary Shares' nominal value of the Company. The Company is therefore proposing, to undertake a sub-division of the Existing Ordinary Shares so that each Existing Ordinary Share of GBP0.01 will be sub-divided into one New Ordinary Share of GBP0.001 and one Deferred Share of GBP0.009. This will allow the Directors to raise further funds for the Company following the General Meeting, without having to call another general meeting should any fundraise price be below GBP0.01 per share and the Board determine this to be correct course of action. The Board has, at present, no definite plans to issue any further New Ordinary Shares.
The Share Sub-Division as proposed will result in the share capital of the Company being made up of:
-- 97,571,428 new Deferred Shares of GBP0.009 each -- 97,571,428 New Ordinary Shares of GBP0.001 each
The Deferred shares will be transferable only with the consent of the Company and will not be admitted to trading on any investment exchange. The holders of the Deferred shares shall not, by virtue or in respect of their holdings of Deferred shares, have any right to receive notice of any general meeting of the Company nor the right to attend, speak or vote at any such general meeting. Save as required by law, the Company need not issue share certificates to the holders of the Deferred Shares in respect of their holding thereof. The holders of Deferred shares shall not be entitled to receive any dividend or distribution and shall only be entitled to any repayment of capital on a winding up once the holders of the New Ordinary Shares have received GBP1,000,000 in respect of each New Ordinary Share held by them. The Deferred Shares are liable to be cancelled without payment of any consideration to the holders thereof and the Company is authorised at any time to execute on behalf of the holders of the Deferred Shares a transfer thereof without making any payment.
The Share Sub-Division will not affect the value of your shareholding. After the Share Sub-Division, there will be the same number of New Ordinary Shares in issue as there are Existing Ordinary Shares in issue as at the date of this Document, and therefore your current shareholding will not be diluted by the Share Sub-Division.
The New Ordinary Shares will have the same rights as those currently accruing to the Existing Ordinary Shares currently in issue, including those relating to voting and entitlement to dividends. You will not be issued with a new share certificate for your New Ordinary Shares and the existing one will remain valid. Warrants and options over Existing Ordinary Shares will, if exercised, result in New Ordinary Shares being issued.
3. Amendments to the Articles of Association
The Articles are proposed to be amended to allow the issue of the Deferred Shares, which are proposed to be issued as part of the Share Sub-Division. Resolution 3 will allow the Company to amend the existing Articles to include provisions in respect of the rights and restrictions attaching to the Deferred Shares.
4. Share Capital Authorities
The Directors are proposing the following:
First, an ordinary resolution to grant the Directors authority to allot or grant rights to subscribe for New Ordinary Shares up to an aggregate nominal value of GBP1,500,000.
Second, a special resolution to disapply statutory pre-emption rights in respect of: (a) the allotment of equity securities which takes place in connection with a rights issue or other similar offer; and (b) the allotment or grant of rights to subscribe for New Ordinary Shares up to an aggregate nominal value of GBP1,500,000 New Ordinary Shares.
5. General Meeting
There is attached to this Document the notice convening a General Meeting of the Company to be held at Peterhouse Capital Limited, 3rd Floor, 80 Cheapside, London, EC2V 6EE, at 10:30 a.m. on 23 July 2025 at which the Resolutions will be proposed, as is set out below.
6. Action to be taken
Shareholders will find a Form of Proxy enclosed for use at the General Meeting. Whether or not you intend to be present at the General Meeting, you are requested to complete and return the Form of Proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon as soon as possible. To be valid, completed Forms of Proxy must be received by the Company, not later than 10:30 a.m. on 21 July 2025, being 2 business days before the time appointed for holding the General Meeting. The Form of Proxy can be emailed to gm@gledhowinvestments.co.uk. You are entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and to exercise all or any of your rights to vote and to speak at the General Meeting instead of you.

Recommendation
The Directors considers the proposed Resolutions to be in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and therefore recommend that you vote in favour of the Resolutions, as the Directors intend to do in respect of their own shares.
Yours faithfully,
Guy Miller
For and on behalf of the Board
