Molten Ventures plc
("Molten" or the "Company")
Extension of Share Buyback Programme by GBP15 million
Molten Ventures plc (LSE: GROW) today announces the completion of the initial GBP10 million tranche of the share
repurchase programme announced on 28 January 2026 (the "Programme"), and the commencement of a further tranche of up to
GBP15 million, increasing the maximum aggregate consideration under the Programme to GBP75 million.
Including the initial tranche, the Company has now returned a total of approximately GBP60 million to shareholders
through share buybacks since July 2024, representing approximately 8.4% of the Company's issued share capital.
The further tranche will commence on 30 July 2026. All other terms of the Programme announced on 28 January 2026 remain
unchanged. Deutsche Numis will continue to make its trading decisions in relation to the Company's Ordinary Shares
independently of, and uninfluenced by, the Company.
To effect the extension, the Company has entered into an amendment letter dated 27 July 2026 with Deutsche Bank AG,
London Branch (trading for these purposes as Deutsche Numis) ("Deutsche Numis"), amending the terms of the engagement
letter dated 28 January 2026 so that the maximum aggregate consideration for Ordinary Shares purchased by Deutsche
Numis on behalf of the Company shall not exceed GBP15 million.
Purchases will be made within the limitations of the authority granted to the Company by shareholders at the Annual
General Meeting held on 22 July 2026, in accordance with Chapter 9 of the UK Listing Rules, Article 5 of the Market
Abuse Regulation (EU) 596/2014 as it forms part of UK law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, and
the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052.
Total voting rights
Following the completion of the initial tranche, the Company's issued share capital consists of 189,046,450 Ordinary
Shares, the total number of Ordinary Shares held in treasury is 15,900,612 and the total number of voting rights in the
Company is 173,145,838. This figure 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 Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
The Company will continue to announce transactions in its own shares in accordance with its regulatory obligations.
