and

PDMR Shareholding

Elixirr International plc (AIM:ELIX), an established, global award-winning challenger consultancy, announces that on 14^th and 17^th January 2025 the Elixirr International plc Employee Benefit Trust (the "EBT") purchased from certain PDMRs of the Company (the "Purchases") 439,555 ordinary shares in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at market price.

The Purchases have been made at the instruction of Apex Group Fiduciary Services Limited as independent trustee of the EBT following recommendations by the Board of the Company. The decision to make the Purchases is to ensure that the EBT has sufficient shares to satisfy demand including for satisfaction of employee equity incentives, equity for new Partners and equity for those joining the firm through acquisition. Accordingly, the Purchases will mitigate the need for dilution in the equity of the Company as it executes on its growth strategy.

Participation by certain Directors and PDMRs in the Purchases are outlined in the table below:

Director/PDMR	Position	Ordinary Shares Sold	Share Sale Price	Resultant Holding	% of total voting rights
Gavin Patterson	Chair	50,000	700p	235,833	0.5

About Elixirr International plc

Elixirr is an award-winning global consulting firm working with clients across a diverse range of industries, markets and geographies.

Founded in 2009, the firm set out to be the 'challenger consultancy' and do things differently than the large corporate consultancies dominating the industry: working openly and collaboratively with clients from start to finish, delivering outcomes based on innovative thinking, not methodology, and treating each client's business like their own. Elixirr has been quoted on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange since 2020. In addition to strong organic growth, Elixirr has acquired seven boutique firms - Den Creative, Coast Digital, The Retearn Group, iOLAP, Responsum, Insigniam and Hypothesis - to grow the Group's capabilities, diversify the business, expand into new geographies and access new clients.
