Payment of SALI earnout and issue of equity

Further to the Company's announcements on 6 October 2021 and 12 November 2021 of the acquisition of SALI Fund Management, LLC and SALI GP Holdings, LLC (together "SALI"), JTC announces that, following the achievement of performance targets for the two-year period post completion set out in the earn-out terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, further consideration of $31.5 million is payable. The further consideration will comprise of $26.8m in cash and 465,516 new JTC ordinary shares, equivalent to $4.7m. The shares are subject to a 12 month lock-in period and orderly market provisions. The cash element will be satisfied from the Group's existing resources.

Admission and Total Voting Rights

Applications have been made to the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") and London Stock Exchange plc (the "London Stock Exchange"), respectively, for 465,516 new ordinary shares of £0.01 each in the capital of the Company (the "Shares") to be admitted to the premium listing segment of the Official List of the FCA and to trading on the main market of the London Stock Exchange ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective and dealings in the Shares will commence at 8.00am on Wednesday 17 January 2024.

Following Admission the Company will have 165,987,194 ordinary shares of £0.01 each in issue. There are no shares held in treasury. Therefore, following Admission the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 165,987,194 (the "Voting Rights Figure"), and this Voting Rights Figure may be used by the Company's shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their voting rights interest, or a change to that interest, in the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Nigel Le Quesne, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"We are very pleased with SALI's performance in the post-acquisition period. SALI has performed in line with expectations and has integrated well into the Group with particularly strong cultural alignment. SALI continues to provide highly predictable, long-term revenue streams with further growth opportunities in the future."
