COMPLETION OF RETAIL ENTITLEMENT OFFER

The Board of Murray Cod Australia Limited (ASX:MCA) (MCA or the Company) is pleased to announce the successful completion of the retail component (Retail Entitlement Offer) of its fully underwritten 1 for 1 accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer of new fully paid ordinary shares (New Shares) in the Company, as announced on Monday, 4 May 2026 (Entitlement Offer).

The Retail Entitlement Offer closed on Wednesday, 20 May 2026 and raised approximately $8.5 million at $0.15 per New Share. Together with the completion of the institutional component of the Entitlement Offer (Institutional Entitlement Offer) announced on Tuesday, 5 May 2026, MCA has raised a total of approximately $18.6 million (before costs) through the Entitlement Offer.

The Company received valid applications in the Retail Entitlement Offer (including under the Shortfall Facility) for approximately 25.2 million New Shares, totaling approximately $3.8 million. Those eligible shareholders in the Retail Entitlement Offer who applied for New Shares under the Shortfall Facility will receive the full allocation of additional New Shares for which they applied, up to a maximum of 50% of their entitlement to New Shares. This represents a total take-up rate by eligible retail shareholders of approximately 44.4%.

The approximately 31.5 million New Shares that were not taken up under the Retail Entitlement Offer and entitlements of ineligible foreign shareholders were allocated to sub-underwriters of the Retail Entitlement Offer.

MCA's Managing Director & CEO, Steven Chaur said:

"Following the completion of the Entitlement Offer, we are excited to enhance our operational capabilities and drive growth. Our focus is on converting our 3,700 tons of biomass into cash while expanding our processing capacity and product formats.

With a refreshed management and execution strategy, we are realigning MCA as a customer-led Fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) food business, that will focus on partnerships with major distributors, retail expansion, and innovative product offerings to meet the evolving needs of our customers."
