Marwyn Acquisition Company III Limited

(the "Company")

First day of dealings

Marwyn Acquisition Company III Limited is pleased to announce that 700,000 Ordinary Shares will at 8.00 a.m. today be admitted to the Standard Segment of the Official List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market for listed securities ("Admission"). The Ordinary Shares will trade under the ticker MAC3 (ISIN: VGG5878H1038).

The current economic environment in the UK, Europe and North America has created strong demand for investment and innovation to back and develop companies that have the potential to grow through the transformational change taking place across a range of sectors. The founders of the Company have developed an efficient listed acquisition company model that will enable trusted and successful management partners to identify value enhancing opportunities before raising additional capital.

The Company will be agile in its investment approach and currently plans to explore opportunities across the Media & Entertainment, Technology & Software, Consumer E-commerce, Healthcare & Diagnostics and B2B Services.

In particular, the Company will target businesses that are positioned to take advantage of the structural change arising from an unprecedented acceleration of digitalisation, affecting the way people live, work and consume, and the way businesses operate, engage and sell to customers.

The Company has been backed by a number of senior executive managers of previous successful acquisition companies launched by Marwyn (the "Manager Investors"). This is testament to the long-standing relationships of the founders. These investors and previous executive managers will act as partners, advisors and investors to help build businesses in the public markets.

The directors believe that the structure of the Company represents a significant improvement on conventional listed acquisition vehicles, allowing for greater speed and flexibility in financing and execution alongside lower operating and transactional costs.

The total number of Ordinary Shares in the Company in issue immediately following Admission is 700,000, each with equal voting rights. The total voting rights figure can be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine whether they are required to notify their interest in the Company under the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority. Immediately following Admission, funds managed by Marwyn Asset Management Limited will hold 75 per cent. of the issued Ordinary Shares of the Company. A PDMR Notification is set out at the bottom of this announcement.
