Canaccord Genuity Limited is acting as Nominated Adviser, Sole Bookrunner and Sole Broker to the Company.

Vic Kist, Chief Executive of Saietta, said:

"We have been greatly encouraged by the very positive reaction to our IPO.

"We have taken high end, high performance technology and redeveloped it for low-cost, mass production giving our AFT motors potential across a wide range of end markets. Reducing EV cost and enabling widespread adoption is an essential step for many emerging economies and cities that are gripped by chronic air pollution.

"This is especially true in Asia and we believe we are uniquely positioned to disrupt the Asian light motorbike market which is expected to increase to c. 100 million by 2030, 40% of which are forecast to be electric.  We are aiming to capture a material proportion of the growing motorbike market within five years.

"It is a pleasure to welcome such a strong blue-chip shareholder base and we look forward to the next chapter in Saietta's growth story."

The terms and definitions used in this announcement have the same meaning as ascribed to them in the Admission Document, unless otherwise stated.
