This clarification addresses shareholder confusion and is crucial for investors considering the company’s strategic plans and potential returns.

Board Recommends Against Return of Capital and Delisting
The board of Satsuma Technology Plc has clarified its position, urging shareholders to vote against resolutions proposing a return of capital and the company’s delisting from the London Stock Exchange. This follows misinterpretations by some nominees who inaccurately summarized the board’s stance.
This recommendation is pivotal as it signals the company’s commitment to remaining listed and outlines its strategic direction. Satsuma is actively working with nominees to rectify misunderstandings, ensuring shareholders receive accurate information ahead of the general meeting on 20 July 2026.
Revised Illustrative Returns Based on Bitcoin Valuation
As of 1 July 2026, Satsuma Technology updated its illustrative shareholder returns reflecting a Bitcoin price of US$59,923, down from the prior US$64,255, and factoring in approximately A33.0 million of potential surplus cash.
The company stresses that actual returns will vary depending on the Bitcoin price at sale, exchange rate fluctuations, and cash holdings. These figures are illustrative and should not be considered forecasts.
Impact on Convertible Loan Note Holders
The update includes an analysis of profit and loss scenarios for different classes of Convertible Loan Note (CLN) holders. Former CLN 1 holders may realize an aggregate profit of around A31.1 million if no warrants are exercised, while former CLN 2 holders could incur an aggregate loss near A364.7 million.
This contrast highlights varied effects on shareholder groups, with CLN 1 holders potentially receiving a greater distribution relative to their initial investment. Outcomes depend on factors such as the exercise of Seed Warrants.
Shareholder Voting Procedures
Shareholders have been provided proxy forms to cast votes on the resolutions at the general meeting. Proxy submissions can be made by post or online, with a deadline of 2.00 p.m. on 16 July 2026.
For CREST shareholders, proxy instructions must be sent by the same deadline. Shareholders also have the option to attend the meeting in person to vote directly.
Bitcoin Holdings and Trading Suspension
Satsuma Technology currently holds 668 Bitcoin and has confirmed it will not engage in Bitcoin transactions until after the general meeting results are known, maintaining Bitcoin as its principal treasury asset.
Trading in Satsuma shares was suspended on 1 July 2026 due to delays in releasing financial statements. The board expects to publish these statements by the end of July 2026 and anticipates resuming trading thereafter, contingent on the general meeting outcome.
Potential Delisting and Future Prospects
If shareholders approve the resolutions at the general meeting, Satsuma Technology plans to delist from the London Stock Exchange in September 2026, which would significantly affect its market presence and investor access.
The board’s recommendation against delisting indicates a preference to maintain public market status, a factor likely to influence shareholder decisions and the company’s strategic path.
Financial Statement Publication Delay
The postponement of the financial statements for the year ending 28 February 2026 is attributed to uncertainties about the company’s future pending the general meeting outcome. The board aims to resolve this by the end of July 2026.
Resumption of share trading depends on the publication of these financial statements, marking a key milestone for investors to watch.
