Extension of Services Agreement

KR1 plc (KR1:AQSE), a leading digital asset investment company, is pleased to announce that the Company and Reflexivity Research Limited (“Reflexivity”) have agreed to extend the proposed termination date of the Services Agreement entered into between the Company and Reflexivity in 2021.

The parties have agreed that the Services Agreement will now continue until it is terminated by the Company or Reflexivity giving not less than 12 months' notice (previously 6 months), such notice not to be served earlier than the eighth anniversary (previously seventh anniversary) of the commencement of the Services Agreement.

Reflexivity is owned by George McDonaugh and Keld van Schreven, executive Directors of KR1, and Janos Berghorn, the Company’s Head of Research (the “Executives”). The amendment to the Services Agreement is therefore a related party transaction for the purposes of the AQSE Growth Market Apex Rulebook.

The Directors of KR1, other than George McDonaugh and Keld van Schreven, believe that extending the period in which KR1 has exclusive access to the Executives and the services of Reflexivity, further aligns the interests of all stakeholders. Accordingly, the Directors of KR1, other than George McDonaugh and Keld van Schreven, having exercised reasonable care, skill and diligence, consider that the extension to the Services Agreement is fair and reasonable as far as the shareholders of the Company are concerned.

The Directors of KR1 plc accept responsibility for this announcement.
