If you are in any doubt about the action you should take, you are recommended to seek your own independent financial advice from your stockbroker, solicitor, accountant, bank manager or other independent financial adviser authorised under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 ("FSMA") if you are in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland ("UK" or "United Kingdom") or, if not, from another appropriately authorised financial adviser.
If you have recently sold or otherwise transferred your ordinary shares of nominal value £0.00001 each ("Existing Ordinary Shares") in the capital of capAI plc (the "Company" or "capAI"), please send this document, together with the accompanying form of proxy ("Form of Proxy"), as soon as possible, to the purchaser or transferee or to the stockbroker, bank or other agent through whom the sale or transfer was effected, for onward transmission to the purchaser or transferee.
The registered office of the Company is 9 Innovation Place, Douglas Drive, Godalming, Surrey GU7 1JX, United Kingdom ("Registered Office").
The distribution of this document in jurisdictions other than the United Kingdom may be restricted by law and therefore persons into whose possession this document comes should inform themselves about and observe such restrictions. Any failure to comply with these restrictions may constitute a violation of the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. This document does not constitute any offer to issue or sell or a solicitation of any offer to subscribe for or buy Existing Ordinary Shares or any other securities of the Company.
The new ordinary shares of nominal value £0.0001 each in the capital of the Company (the "New Ordinary Shares") formed as a result of the proposed consolidation of the Existing Ordinary Shares in a ratio of 10 to 1 (the "Share Consolidation") have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (as amended, the "U.S. Securities Act"), or under the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States of America, its territories or possessions (the "United States" or "U.S.") and such New Ordinary Shares may not be offered, sold or resold in the United States unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act or in a transaction exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act, and in compliance with applicable securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction.
Application will be made to the UK Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA") and London Stock Exchange plc (the "London Stock Exchange"), respectively, for the New Ordinary Shares resulting from the proposed Share Consolidation to be admitted to a listing on the equity shares (transition) category of the official list maintained by the FCA pursuant to Part VI of FSMA ("Official List") under Chapter 22 of the UK listing rules made by the FCA under section 73A of FSMA (an "ES(T)C Listing") ("UKLRs") and to trading on the main market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange (the "Main Market") ("Admission").

Dear Shareholder,
I am writing in my capacity as Executive Chairman to invite you to the General Meeting of the Company to be held at 4.00 p.m. on 6 October 2025 at the offices of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe (UK) LLP at 9th Floor, 107 Cheapside, London EC2V 6DN, United Kingdom.
On 7 July 2025, the Company announced via RIS (RNS number: 9994P) that it had entered into English law governed non-binding heads of terms ("HOTs") with R42 Group LLC ("R42") for the exclusive licensing of the proprietary technology developed by R42 known as Author42, being an artificial intelligence ("AI")-powered book-writing platform ("Author42").
On 25 July 2025, the Company announced via RIS (RNS number: 5896S) that it had entered into an English law governed licence and option agreement (cast as a deed) in respect of Author42 with R42 (the "Author42 LOA").
On 4 August 2025 and 5 August 2025, the Company announced via RIS (RNS numbers: 8390T and 0154U) that it had entered into further English law governed non-binding HOTs with R42 for the exclusive licensing of the following proprietary technologies:
On 29 August 2025, the Company announced via RIS (RNS number: 2146X) that it had entered into an English law governed licence and option agreement (cast as a deed) in respect of Creator42 with R42 (the "Creator42 LOA"). The Creator42 LOA followed the non-binding HOTs for Movie42 and whilst the terms remain aligned with that framework, Creator42 represents a natural evolution of Movie42, broadening the original concept to encompass both short-form and long-form adaptation within a single creative hub.
On 2 September 2025, the Company announced via RIS (RNS number: 6241X) that it had entered into an English law governed licence and option agreement (cast as a deed) in respect of Game42 with R42 (the "Game42 LOA").
(together with the Author42 LOA, each, a "LOA", and together, the "LOAs").
Summaries of the principal terms of the Author42 LOA, Creator42 LOA and the Game42 LOA are set out in paragraphs 2(b), 3(b) and 4(b) (respectively) of this letter, and the commercial rationale for the Company's proposed entry into such LOAs is set out in paragraph 5 of this letter.
The Company also intends to carry out the Share Consolidation whereby the Company will consolidate the Existing Ordinary Shares at a ratio of 10 to 1. Further details of the Share Consolidation are set out in paragraph 8 of this letter.
Finally, the Company also intends to adopt new articles of association (the "New Articles") to update and consolidate the Company's constitutional provisions. Further details are set out in paragraph 9 of this letter.
Author42 is a next-generation generative AI platform combining narrative tools, character development, plot structuring, and market intelligence. It enables scalable, data-informed content creation across fiction and non-fiction formats, supporting the needs of modern authors, publishers, and independent creators.
Pursuant to the Author42 LOA:
by the FCA under section 73A of FSMA (the "Prospectus Regulation Rules") (such obligations under the Takeover Code and the Prospectus Regulation Rules being the "Regulatory Obligations"), the issue of such number of Author42 Consideration Shares that may be issued in compliance with the Regulatory Obligations (the "Author42 Issuable Consideration Shares") together with non-transferable unsecured convertible loan notes ("UCLNs") of a value equal to the value of the total Author42 Consideration Shares less the value of the Author42 Issuable Consideration Shares;
Creator42 is an integrated suite of AI-driven products that together aim to create a multi-stage pathway from book-to-screen, targeting both the fast-expanding short-form content market and the longer-form book-to-film opportunity:
Pursuant to the Creator42 LOA:
• R42 shall continue to develop Creator42 and shall aim to deliver a notice to the Company by 30 September 2025 confirming that Creator42 meets agreed minimum viable product ("MVP") criteria and is functionally complete and ready for commercialization, albeit not necessarily final or market-polished, such determination to be made in consultation with the Company/R42 committee formed under the Alliance Agreement (the "Creator42 Completion Notice");
• R42 shall undertake to the Company, for the Creator42 Licence Period and (subject to exercise of the Creator42 Option) a further period of two years from completion of the exercise of the Creator42 Option, not to, directly or indirectly, license, develop, or commercialise any product or platform substantially similar in scope or function to Creator42, or which competes or is reasonably likely to compete with Creator42, except with the prior written consent of the Company.
Game42 is a next-generation generative AI platform that transforms written content into immersive, interactive game experiences. It combines intelligent narrative adaptation, procedural level design, dynamic dialogue systems, and AI-powered character rendering.
Pursuant to the Game42 LOA:
issued in compliance with the Regulatory Obligations (the "Game42 Issuable Consideration Shares") together with UCLNs of a value equal to the value of the total Game42 Consideration Shares less the value of the Game42 Issuable Consideration Shares;
The structure of each LOA reflects the Company's strategic and commercial priorities, offering the Company several tangible benefits:
The structure of each LOA has therefore been designed to balance prudent innovation management and responsible capital deployment with legal and regulatory compliance.
In addition, the Company's entry into the LOAs:
• supports the Company's strategic buildout of capMedia, an AI-powered content division aligned with the Company's multi-segment AI operating model; and
• is consistent with the terms of its strategic alliance with R42 (pursuant to the Alliance Agreement), as announced by the Company via a RIS (RNS number: 2199K) on 27 May 2025.
The allotment and issue of any of the Author42 Consideration Shares, Creator42 Consideration Shares or the Game42 Consideration Shares (together, the "Consideration Shares") and UCLNs (as applicable and in compliance with the Regulatory Obligations) by the Company on exercise of any of the Author42 Option, the Creator42 Option or the Game42 Option (together, the "Options" and each an "Option") under the proposed LOAs each constitute a 'substantial property transaction' under section 190 of the UK Companies Act 2006 (the "Companies Act 2006"), as the Company will allot and issue Consideration Shares and/or UCLNs with an aggregate value of £2,000,000 under each LOA to R42, which is a body corporate connected with Professor Ronjon Nag, a director of the Company (a "Director") designated as Executive Director.
The exercise of each Option is conditional on the holders of Ordinary Shares (the "Shareholders") approving, as a 'substantial property transaction' under section 190 of the Companies Act 2006, each allotment and issue of the Consideration Shares and UCLNs on the exercise of that Option, by passing Resolutions 1 to 3 (inclusive) in the Notice of General Meeting, set out at the end of this document and as summarised below.
The Board of Directors (the "Board") wishes to clarify that it has no immediate plans to exercise any of the Options and shall do so only when appropriate and in good faith to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of the Shareholders as a whole. However, as other business is already being put before Shareholders at this General Meeting, the inclusion of these Resolutions is intended to ensure that the Company has the necessary Shareholder authorities in place for the Board to exercise any of the Options in the future should it wish to do so, and thereby avoid the time and expense of convening a separate general meeting.
Professor Ronjon Nag has voluntarily agreed not to vote on Resolutions 1 to 3 (inclusive) and has undertaken to take all reasonable steps to ensure that his close family and associates who hold Ordinary Shares do not vote on such Resolutions.
The Board consider that the Company's entry into the LOAs with R42 are material related party transactions for the purposes of rule 7.3 of the disclosure guidance and transparency rules of the FCA made in accordance with section 73A of FSMA (the "Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules" or "DTRs").
R42 is a U.S. venture capital firm founded and owned by Professor Ronjon Nag. Professor Nag is, and has been since 1 April 2025, a Director designated as Executive Director. As at 16 September 2025 (being the Latest Practicable Date), Professor Nag personally holds 125,000,000 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 3.35% of the issued share capital of the Company.
Pursuant to each LOA, R42 has granted or will grant (as applicable) the Author42 Licence, the Creator42 Licence and the Game42 Licence (as applicable) and the relevant Option to the Company. On exercise of the relevant Option, the Company shall pay consideration of £2,000,000 to R42, to be satisfied by the allotment and issue of Consideration Shares and UCLNs (as applicable and in compliance with the Regulatory Obligations) with an aggregate value of £2,000,000 to R42. The aggregate value of the Consideration Shares under the Options is £6,000,000.
The Company confirms that Directors other than Professor Ronjon Nag (the "Independent Directors"), having exercised reasonable care, skill and diligence, considered the material related party transactions in respect of the LOAs to be fair and reasonable from the perspective of the Company and the Shareholders who are not a related party (as such term is defined in UKadopted International Financial Reporting Standards ("UK IFRS")).
The Company currently has 3,733,930,636 Ordinary Shares in issue, each of which has a nominal value of £0.00001. The closing price of the Existing Ordinary Shares derived from the Official List on 12 September 2025 was £0.00265.
The Company therefore has a large number of Existing Ordinary Shares when compared with companies of a similar market capitalisation with an ES(T)C Listing. The Share Consolidation will bring the Company closer to the issued share capital of such companies. With shares of low denominations, small absolute movements in the share price can represent large percentage movements resulting in volatility. The Board also believes that the bid-offer spread on shares priced at low absolute levels can be disproportionate to the price per Ordinary Share and therefore to the detriment of Shareholders.
The Board is of the view that it would benefit the Company and Shareholders to reduce the number of Existing Ordinary Shares in issue by way of a Share Consolidation. This is expected to assist in reducing the volatility in the Company's share price and enable a more consistent valuation of the Company, making the Company's shares more attractive to institutional investors.
It would also enable the Company to pursue an Over-the-Counter ("OTC") listing of the New Ordinary Shares in the United States, as the eligibility criteria for such listings include a minimum trading price of US \$0.01.
The Share Consolidation will involve every 10 Existing Ordinary Shares of nominal value £0.00001 each held by a Shareholder being consolidated into one New Ordinary Share of nominal value £0.0001.
It is proposed that the Company's entire issued ordinary share capital will be consolidated as part of the Share Consolidation, meaning that while the number of Ordinary Shares in issue will change, the proportion of the Company's issued ordinary share capital held by each Shareholder immediately before and after the Share Consolidation will remain unchanged (subject to the treatment of fractional shares resulting from the Share Consolidation, which is described in paragraph 8(c) below). As a result of the Share Consolidation:
The Company is seeking the approval of the Shareholders to authorise and effect the Share Consolidation, by passing Resolution 4 in the Notice of General Meeting, set out at the end of this document and as summarised below.
Assuming that: (i) Resolution 4 is passed; (ii) the Share Consolidation occurs; and (iii) no further Existing Ordinary Shares are issued between the Latest Practicable Date and the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Company will have a maximum of 373,393,063 New Ordinary Shares in issue immediately following the Share Consolidation.
As a result of the Share Consolidation, any shareholding of Existing Ordinary Shares that is not exactly divisible by 10 will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of New Ordinary Shares, and the Shareholder in question will be left with an entitlement to a fraction of a New Ordinary Share (a "Fractional Entitlement"). If a Shareholder's holding comprises fewer than 10 Existing Ordinary Shares at the record time for the Share Consolidation, the shareholding will still be consolidated and will result in the Shareholder no longer being a member of the Company in relation to that holding.
Arrangements will be put in place for Fractional Entitlements arising from the Share Consolidation to be aggregated and sold in the market on behalf of Shareholders. The value of any one Shareholder's Fractional Entitlement will not exceed the value of one New Ordinary Share. Based on the closing price of each Existing Ordinary Share of £0.00265 on 12 September 2025, the proceeds from the sale of a Fractional Entitlement should be no more than £0.03.
Proceeds of Fractional Entitlements in excess of £5.00 (if any) will be paid to relevant Shareholders on or around 20 October 2025. Proceeds of the aggregation and sale of Fractional Entitlements of less than £5.00 will be used for the Company's working capital purposes given the administrative burden that returning values of less than £5.00 to Shareholders would place on the Company.
If you hold your Ordinary Shares within a nominee account, then those organisations are responsible for crediting your account with a cash equivalent to the Fractional Entitlement (to the extent the aggregation and sale of Fractional Entitlements exceeds £5.00). The Company does not accept responsibility and will not be held liable for any act or omission by any broker, including, without any limitation, any failure on the part of the broker or any registered Shareholder to notify the holder of any beneficial interest in respect of the distribution or any other matter set out in this document.
Shareholders are advised that the Share Consolidation contemplated in this document may have different consequences for each Shareholder depending on the jurisdiction in which they reside and their other unique circumstances. Shareholders are accordingly advised to seek their own professional advice (including tax advice) in relation to matters contained in this document.
Application will be made for the New Ordinary Shares resulting from the Share Consolidation to be admitted to a listing on an ES(T)C Listing and to trading on the Main Market in place of the Existing Ordinary Shares. Subject to the passing of Resolution 4, it is expected that Admission will become effective and that dealings in New Ordinary Shares will commence on 8 October 2025. Following the Share Consolidation taking effect, the Company's new ISIN code will be GB00BV2FG348 and its new SEDOL code will be BV2FG34.
Shareholders who hold Existing Ordinary Shares in uncertificated form will have such shares disabled in their CREST accounts at the record time for the Share Consolidation, and their CREST accounts will be credited with the New Ordinary Shares following Admission, which is expected to take place on 8 October 2025.
In respect of Shareholders who hold their Existing Ordinary Shares in certificated form, their certificate(s) will no longer be valid from the time that the proposed Share Consolidation becomes effective. Such Shareholders will be sent a new share certificate evidencing the New Ordinary Shares to which they are entitled under the Share Consolidation. Such certificates are expected to be dispatched on or around 20 October 2025 by first class post at the risk of the Shareholder. Upon receipt of the new certificate, Shareholders should destroy any old certificates. Pending dispatch of the new certificates, transfers of certificated New Ordinary Shares will be certified against the Company's register of members (the "Register of Members").
The following comments are intended only as a general guide to the current tax position under UK taxation law and HMRC published practice, both of which are subject to change (potentially with retrospective effect). They relate only to certain limited aspects of the UK tax treatment of the Share Consolidation for Shareholders who are and will be at the time of implementation the absolute beneficial owners of Ordinary Shares and who are resident and, in the case of individuals, domiciled in, (and only in) the UK for UK tax purposes and who hold, and will hold, their shares in the Company as an investment (and not as securities to be realised in the course of a trade). The following is not, and is not intended to be, an exhaustive summary of the tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of Ordinary Shares or New Ordinary Shares and it does not constitute advice.
The comments may not apply to certain Shareholders who are subject to special rules, such as (but not limited to) dealers in securities, insurance companies and collective investment schemes, Shareholders who are exempt from taxation and Shareholders who have (or are deemed to have) acquired their Ordinary Shares by virtue of an office or employment. If you are in any doubt as to your tax position or are subject to tax in any jurisdiction other than the UK, you should consult, and rely upon the advice of, a duly authorised professional adviser.
The proposed Share Consolidation should constitute a reorganisation of the Company's share capital for the purposes of UK capital gains tax and UK corporation tax on chargeable gains (together, "CGT"). For the purposes of CGT, to the extent that you receive New Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Share Consolidation, you should not be treated to that extent as making a disposal of your Existing Ordinary Shares. Instead, the New Ordinary Shares will be treated, for the purposes of CGT, as the same asset as, and as having been acquired at the same time and for the same aggregate cost as, the holding of Existing Ordinary Shares from which they derive.
A subsequent disposal of New Ordinary Shares may, depending on individual circumstances (including the availability of exemptions, reliefs and allowable losses), give rise to a liability to CGT.
Subject to the following paragraph, to the extent a Shareholder receives a cash payment in respect of Fractional Entitlements, and the amount of the cash payment is small in comparison with the value of that Shareholder's shares held at the time of the payment, that Shareholder will not normally be treated as having made a part disposal of the Shareholder's holding of Ordinary Shares. Instead, an amount equal to the amount of such cash received will be deducted from the base cost in that Shareholder's New Ordinary Shares. Under current HMRC practice, any cash payment of £3,000 or less or (if greater) which is 5% or less of the market value of a shareholder's holding of shares immediately before the distribution will generally be treated as small for these purposes.
However, if the cash payment exceeds the base cost in the Shareholder's New Ordinary Shares, or if the Shareholder does not hold enough Ordinary Shares such that they are not entitled to receive a New Ordinary Share, the Shareholder should be treated as disposing of part or all of their holding of Ordinary Shares, which may give rise to a liability to CGT.
No liability to stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax should be incurred by a holder of Ordinary Shares as a result of the proposed Share Consolidation.
The Company currently has in issue outstanding warrants over 1,514,876,199 Existing Ordinary Shares (the "Warrants"). The Warrants have exercise prices between £0.000375 and £0.0008 per Existing Ordinary Share.
In accordance with the terms of the Warrants, the Existing Ordinary Shares that are subject to Warrants will be adjusted to take account of the Share Consolidation so that:
• the total number of Ordinary Shares to be acquired pursuant to the Warrant will carry, when issued: (i) as nearly as possible (and in any event not less than) the same proportion (expressed as a percentage) of the total number of votes exercisable in respect of all Ordinary Shares of the vote; and (ii) the same entitlement to participate in the profits and assets of the Company; and
• the exercise price will be as nearly as possible (and in any event not more than) the same as it would have been had there been no such adjustment.
Such adjustments to the entitlements under the Warrants will be subject to the auditors of the Company certifying in writing to the Company and holders of the Warrants that such adjustments are in their opinion fair and reasonable in light of the Share Consolidation.
Holders of the Warrants will be contacted in due course with further information on how their Warrants will be affected by the Share Consolidation.
The Company's current articles of association (the "Articles") were adopted in 2017 and have since been amended on two occasions. The Board proposes to adopt New Articles to update and consolidate the Company's constitutional provisions. The changes reflected in the New Articles reflect developments in company law and market practice since the Articles were last comprehensively reviewed. In particular, the proposed New Articles:
The New Articles also contain a number of other updates and clarifications to align with current best practice. The adoption of the New Articles will not result in any change to Shareholders' rights beyond those described above and in the marked-up version made available to Shareholders. The Board believes these updates will improve clarity, reflect current practice and ensure the Articles remain fit for purpose.
In particular, the Board wishes to clarify that:
In the usual way the Directors ask and encourage Shareholders to vote for the Resolutions by appointing me, as Executive Chairman, as chair of the General Meeting (the "Chair") as a Shareholder's proxy. Accordingly, Shareholders are encouraged to complete the Form of Proxy accompanying this document which must be completed and returned, in accordance with the instructions printed on it, so as to be received by the Registrar, Computershare Investor Services PLC, at The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol, BS99 6ZY, United Kingdom as soon as possible, but in any event not later than 4.00 p.m. on 2 October 2025.
The General Meeting shall take place at 4.00 p.m. on 6 October 2025.
The Chair will then formally put the Resolutions to the General Meeting and advise of the proxy votes received in advance.
The results of the General Meeting will be announced via a RIS and posted to the Company's website https://capai.group/ on the day following the General Meeting.
The notes below explain the proposed business of the General Meeting, being the Resolutions.
Resolutions 1 to 4 (inclusive) are proposed as ordinary resolutions. This means that if a Resolution is to be passed, more than half of the votes cast must be in favour of such Resolution. Resolution 5 is proposed as a special resolution. This means that for Resolution 5 to be passed, at least three quarters of the votes cast must be in favour of Resolution 5.
Under the Author42 LOA, R42 has granted the Author42 Option to the Company to acquire the full legal and beneficial ownership of Author42 at any time during the Author42 Licence Period. On exercising the Author42 Option, the Company shall pay the Author42 Option Consideration of £2,000,000 to R42, which shall be satisfied by the Company allotting and issuing the Author42 Consideration Shares and UCLNs (as applicable and in compliance with the Regulatory Obligations) with an aggregate value of £2,000,000 to R42.
The terms of the Author42 LOA are summarised in paragraph 2(b) of this document and the Board's plans regarding any exercise of the Author42 Option are summarised in paragraph 6.
The allotment and issue of the Author42 Consideration Shares and UCLNs (as applicable and in compliance with the Regulatory Obligations) by the Company on exercise of the Author42 Option under the Author42 LOA constitute a 'substantial property transaction' under section 190 of the Companies Act 2006, which requires the approval of the Shareholders pursuant to Resolution 1.
Professor Ronjon Nag has voluntarily agreed not to vote on Resolution 1 and has undertaken to take all reasonable steps to ensure that his close family and associates who hold Ordinary Shares do not vote on Resolution 1.
As the Company's proposed entry into the Author42 LOA constitutes a material related party transaction for the purposes of DTR 7.3, the Company confirms that the Independent Directors, having exercised reasonable care, skill and diligence, have considered the material related party transaction to be fair and reasonable from the perspective of the Company and its Shareholders who are not a related party (as such term is defined in UK IFRS).
Under the Creator42 LOA, R42 shall grant the Creator42 Option to the Company to acquire the full legal and beneficial ownership of Creator42 at any time during the Creator42 Licence Period. On exercising the Creator42 Option, the Company shall pay the Creator42 Option Consideration of £2,000,000 to R42, which shall be satisfied by the Company allotting and issuing the Creator42 Consideration Shares and UCLNs (as applicable and in compliance with the Regulatory Obligations) with an aggregate value of £2,000,000 to R42.
The terms of the Creator42 LOA are summarised in paragraph 3(b) of this document and the Board's plans regarding any exercise of the Creator42 Option are summarised in paragraph 6.
The allotment and issue of the Creator42 Consideration Shares and UCLNs (as applicable and in compliance with the Regulatory Obligations) by the Company on exercise of the Creator42 Option under the Creator42 LOA constitute a 'substantial property transaction' under section 190 of the Companies Act 2006, which requires the approval of the Shareholders pursuant to Resolution 2.
Professor Ronjon Nag has voluntarily agreed not to vote on Resolution 2 and has undertaken to take all reasonable steps to ensure that his close family and associates who hold Ordinary Shares do not vote on Resolution 2.
As the Company's proposed entry into the Creator42 LOA constitutes a material related party transaction for the purposes of DTR 7.3, the Company confirms that the Independent Directors, having exercised reasonable care, skill and diligence, have considered the material related party transaction to be fair and reasonable from the perspective of the Company and its Shareholders who are not a related party (as such term is defined in UK IFRS).
Under the Game42 LOA, R42 shall grant the Game42 Option to the Company to acquire the full legal and beneficial ownership of Game42 at any time during the Game42 Licence Period. On exercising the Game42 Option, the Company shall pay the Game42 Option Consideration of £2,000,000 to R42, which shall be satisfied by the Company allotting and issuing the Game42 Consideration Shares and UCLNs (as applicable and in compliance with the Regulatory Obligations) with an aggregate value of £2,000,000 to R42.
The terms of the Game42 LOA are summarised in paragraph 4(b) of this document and the Board's plans regarding any exercise of the Game42 Option are summarised in paragraph 6.
The allotment and issue of the Game42 Consideration Shares and UCLNs (as applicable and in compliance with the Regulatory Obligations) by the Company on exercise of the Game42 Option under the Game42 LOA constitute a 'substantial property transaction' under section 190 of the Companies Act 2006, which requires the approval of the Shareholders pursuant to Resolution 3.
Professor Ronjon Nag has voluntarily agreed not to vote on Resolution 3 and has undertaken to take all reasonable steps to ensure that his close family and associates who hold Ordinary Shares do not vote on Resolution 3.
As the Company's proposed entry into the Game42 LOA constitutes a material related party transaction for the purposes of DTR 7.3, the Company confirms that the Independent Directors, having exercised reasonable care, skill and diligence, have considered the material related party transaction to be fair and reasonable from the perspective of the Company and its Shareholders who are not a related party (as such term is defined in UK IFRS).
As further described in paragraph 8, the Company proposes to effect the Share Consolidation so that every 10 Existing Ordinary Shares of nominal value £0.00001 each held by a Shareholder will be consolidated into one New Ordinary Share of nominal value £0.0001.
As further described in paragraph 9, the Company proposes to adopt the New Articles to replace the existing Articles which were adopted on 18 January 2017.
A copy of the proposed New Articles marked up to show all proposed changes and a clean version of the New Articles will be available to view on the Company's website at https://capai.group. The New Articles (and a version highlighting the proposed changes) will also be on display at the place of the General Meeting from 15 minutes prior to its commencement until its conclusion.
If this Resolution is passed, the New Articles will be adopted as the articles of association of the Company with effect from the close of the General Meeting.
In accordance with the Articles, all Shareholders entitled to vote and be present by proxy at the General Meeting have one vote in respect of every Ordinary Share held.
Shareholders will find enclosed a Form of Proxy for use in connection with the General Meeting. Whether or not Shareholders propose to attend the General Meeting, they are requested to complete, sign and return the Form of Proxy as soon as possible, in accordance with the instructions printed on it.
To be valid, the enclosed Form of Proxy must be lodged with the Registrar, Computershare Investor Services PLC, at The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol BS99 6ZY, United Kingdom as soon as possible and, in any event, so as to arrive by no later than 4.00 p.m. on 2 October 2025.
The Independent Directors consider the LOAs and the Company's proposed ability to exercise the Options under the LOAs to be in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Independent Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote or procure votes in favour of Resolutions 1 to 3 (inclusive), as the Independent Directors who hold Existing Ordinary Shares have irrevocably undertaken to do in respect of their own beneficial holdings (and the beneficial holdings which are under their control and those of their close relatives), which amount to 787,043,650 Existing Ordinary Shares (in aggregate), representing approximately 21.08% of the issued share capital of the Company (as at 16 September 2025, being the Latest Practicable Date). As a "related party" Professor Ronjon Nag has not taken part in the Board's consideration of the LOA and has voluntarily agreed not to vote on Resolutions 1 to 3 (inclusive) and has undertaken to take all reasonable steps to ensure that his close family and associates who hold Existing Ordinary Shares do not vote on Resolutions 1 to 3 (inclusive).
In addition, the Board considers the passing of Resolutions 4 and 5 to be in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote or procure votes in favour of Resolutions 4 and 5, as the Directors who hold Existing Ordinary Shares have irrevocably undertaken to do in respect of their own beneficial holdings (and the beneficial holdings which are under their control and those of their close relatives), which amount to 912,043,650 Existing Ordinary Shares (in aggregate), representing approximately 24.43% of the issued share capital of the Company (as at 16 September 2025, being the Latest Practicable Date).
Yours faithfully,
Richard Edwards
Executive Chairman
