("Hellenic Dynamics" or the "Company")
Completion of Capital Reorganisation
London, 27 November 2023, Hellenic Dynamics Plc (LSE: HELD), a medical cannabis cultivator with a dedicated focus on producing tetrahydrocannabinol ("THC") dominant strains of medical cannabis flowers for the fast growing European medical cannabis markets announces that, following the approval of the Capital Reorganisation at the General Meeting held on 20 November 2023, applications have been made to the Financial Conduct Authority and the London Stock Exchange respectively, for the New Ordinary Shares resulting from the Capital Reorganisation to be admitted to the Official List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities in place of the Existing Ordinary Shares. It is expected that the 125,300,000 New Ordinary Shares of £0.001 each will be admitted to trading and dealings will commence on the London Stock Exchange at or around 8:00 a.m. today.
As a result of the Capital Reorganisation, Shareholders will receive 1 New Ordinary Share in substitution for every 100 Existing Ordinary Shares held. The New Ordinary Shares have the same rights as the Existing Ordinary Shares, including voting, dividend and other rights. Immediately following the implementation of the Capital Reorganisation, it is expected that the market price of a New Ordinary Share should be approximately equal to a multiple of 100 times the market price of an Existing Ordinary Share immediately beforehand. Existing Shareholders will own the same proportion of the Company as they did immediately prior to the implementation of the Capital Reorganisation, subject only to fractional rounding.
As at 27 November 2023, the Company's issued ordinary share capital consists of 125,300,000 ordinary shares of £0.001 each and therefore the total number of voting rights in the Company, attributable to such ordinary shares, is 125,300,000. This figure should be used by shareholders as the denominator for calculations by which they can determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
Capitalised terms used but not otherwise defined in this announcement have the meanings shall have the meanings set out in the Circular, which is available on the Company's website at: https://www.hellenicdynamics.com
The Directors of the Company take responsibility for this announcement.

About Hellenic Dynamics plc
Founded in 2019, Hellenic Dynamics is specifically focused on the cultivation and supply of THC ("tetrahydrocannabinol") - dominant strains of medical cannabis flowers, destined for the growing medical cannabis markets across Europe. Hellenic Dynamics' core strategy is to develop and operate its 40,000 square metre active cultivation licence from its 195,506 square metre facility located near Thessaloniki in Northern Greece. In full production, Hellenic Dynamics is capable of producing over 54,000 kg of dried flowers per annum.
Hellenic Dynamics will take advantage of its relatively low cost base resulting from a comparatively low cost of power, having its own running water supply and the labour rates for skilled and semi-skilled labour in Northern Greece.
26 European countries now allow medical cannabis via prescription and the European cannabis market is expected to reach €17.39 billion per annum by 2028. Sales of Hellenic Dynamics' dried THC-dominant cannabis flowers and extracts are initially intended for export into Europe's largest market - Germany, in addition to other European markets including domestically in Greece.
As the first medical cannabis cultivator to obtain a listing on the main market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange, Hellenic is significantly different to the number of CBD (Cannabidiol) related companies that have appeared over the recent years. Hellenic Dynamics cultivates THC-dominant medical cannabis flowers. THC-dominant medical cannabis products are only available via a medical prescription. Medicinal cannabis has been approved for use both in the United Kingdom and Germany, plus 24 other European countries, for conditions including but not limited to chronic pain, intractable chemotherapy-related nausea, anxiety, insomnia, Tourette's syndrome, substance use disorder, multiple sclerosis, IBS, spinal cord treatment, lack of appetite due to HIV/AIDS, cachexia, anorexia and glaucoma.
