Valereum Plc

("Valereum" or the "Company")

Interim results for the six months to 30 June 2023

Valereum announces its interim results for the six-month period ended 30 June 2023. Shareholders are reminded that these results are unaudited and based on the Company's management accounts.

The first half of 2023 has been a challenging period for the Company, not least with its fundraising, set against a deteriorating global macroeconomic backdrop and uncertainty in the global financial markets. The committed funding secured from a US based fund as announced on 31 August 2023 is dependent on the US based fund closing its own round of finance which we understand is concluding at present.

Valereum's entire management team is focused on completing the Gibraltar Stock Exchange ("GSX") acquisition and is in further discussions with the GFSC around its application and request for a further extension. Although a successful conclusion with the GFSC is not guaranteed, the board of Valereum is optimistic and looks forward to announcing its plans and executing them in future.

Interim Operational Highlights

1) On 31 March, Valereum confirmed that it had raised a total of GBP70,500 from the issue of 11,280 new ordinary shares of 0.0001 pence in its subsidiary Valereum Collections Ltd at a price of GBP6.25 per share. Valereum owns 99.8% of Valereum Collections Ltd.

2) On 21 April, the Company announced it had sold its Bitcoin mining assets to Vinanz Ltd ("Vinanz") for a total consideration of 27,325,171 shares in Vinanz. These shares have an asset value to Valereum of around GBP800,000 (valued at Vinanz's listing price of 3p per share) and are subject to a 12-month lock-in.

3) On 25 May, the Company announced that it had signed an option agreement to purchase Sparta Ltd, a licensed company service provider in Gibraltar which specialises in company formation and management. The option will not be exercised until the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission ("GFSC") approve the acquisition of Sparta.

4) On 21 July, the Company announced that the payment for the second tranche of the GSX providing 100% ownership had been agreed at GBP750,000.

5) On 31 August, the Company announced that it had secured committed funding from a United States fund in the amount of GBP5-8 million, to be released in two tranches. The GFSC accordingly extended the deadline for completion of the acquisition of the GSX to 28th September 2023. The Company and the current owners of the GSX (GSX Group Limited) are in negotiation with the GFSC on an extension of this deadline. Given Valereum is a willing buyer, working in close cooperation with a willing seller, the Company sees no reason for the GFSC not to grant an extension at present.

6) On 31 August, the Company's shares were suspended by the Aquis Exchange. When the GSX acquisition is fully approved and completed, a new admission document will be submitted.

Interim Financial Highlights

1) During the first half of 2023, the Company issued a total of 17,420,420 new ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each following the receipt of conversion notices for a total of $1.2 million.

   2)   The Company cash balance on 30(th) June 2023 was GBP5,718 (31(st) December 2022: GBP92,528). 

The Directors of the Company accept responsibility for the contents of this announcement.
