PANTHEON INTERNATIONAL PLC

(THE "COMPANY")

SUB-DIVISION OF SHARES

On 5 August 2021, the Company published its annual report setting out its intention to undertake a Sub-division (the "Sub-division") of each of the Company's ordinary shares of 67 pence each (the "Existing Ordinary Shares") into 10 ordinary shares of 6.7 pence each (the "New Ordinary Shares"). At the Company's Annual General Meeting held today, shareholders approved the Sub-division.

The last day of trading in the Existing Ordinary Shares will be 29 October 2021, following which the Sub-division will take effect and it is expected that the New Ordinary Shares will be admitted to the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority and to trading on the main market of the London Stock Exchange at 8.00 a.m. on 1 November 2021. 

CREST accounts will be credited with New Ordinary Shares on 1 November 2021.  It is expected that share certificates in respect of the New Ordinary Shares held in certificated form will be posted to certificated shareholders by 12 November 2021.

The New Ordinary Shares will have a new ISIN and SEDOL, as follows:

· ISIN: GB00BP37WF17

· SEDOL: BP37WF1

The ticker for the New Ordinary Shares will remain unchanged: PIN.

The New Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with each other and will be subject to the same rights and restrictions as the Existing Ordinary Shares. A holding of New Ordinary Shares following the Sub-division will represent the same proportion of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as the corresponding holding of Existing Ordinary Shares.

Total Voting Rights

On the basis that there are currently 54,089,447 Existing Ordinary Shares in issue, following completion of the Sub-division, there will be 540,894,470 New Ordinary Shares in issue, of which 1,050,000 New Ordinary Shares will be held in treasury. Therefore, immediately following the Sub-division of the Company's shares on 1 November 2021, the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 539,844,470.

The above figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Sub-division alone will not alter shareholders' voting rights.
