Result of Retail Offer

Further to the announcement made by the Company on 16 November 2023, Aurrigo International plc (AIM: AURR), a leading international provider of transport technology solutions, announces that it has raised gross proceeds of GBP176,255 pursuant to its retail offer via the BookBuild Platform from existing retail shareholders ("Retail Offer"). Subject to the Retail Offer becoming unconditional, a total of 176,255 new ordinary shares of GBP0.002 each ("Retail Offer Shares") will be issued at 100 pence per Retail Offer Share ("Issue Price"). In addition, the Company has raised GBP100,000 by way of a direct subscription for 100,000 new Ordinary Shares ("Subscription Shares" and together with the Retail Offer Shares the "New Ordinary Shares") at the Issue Price (the "Subscription").

Consequently, an application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the admission of, in aggregate, 276,255 New Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM ("Admission"). Admission and dealings in the New Ordinary Shares are expected to take place at 8.00 a.m. on or around 1 December 2023.

The Retail Offer and Subscription is conditional (amongst other things) upon Admission and completion of the Placing announced on 15 November 2023, which is expected to take place at 8.00 a.m. on or around 1 December 2023.

The New Ordinary Shares, when issued, will be fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after the date of issue.

Following Admission, the Company's enlarged issued ordinary share capital will be 45,782,922. This figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Information to Distributors

UK Product Governance Requirements

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements of Chapter 3 of the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the "UK MiFIR Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacture" (for the purposes of the UK MiFIR Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Retail Offer Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that the Retail Offer Shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in paragraphs 3.5 and 3.6 of COBS; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all permitted distribution channels (the "Target Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the Retail Offer Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the Retail Offer Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the Retail Offer Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Retail Offer.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of Chapters 9A or 10A respectively of COBS; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the Retail Offer Shares. Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Retail Offer Shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.
