This announcement is an advertisement for the purposes of the Prospectus Regulation Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority and not a prospectus. This announcement does not constitute or form part of, and should not be construed as, an offer for sale or subscription of, or solicitation of any offer to subscribe for or to acquire, any ordinary shares of Alpha Group International Plc in any jurisdiction, including in or into the United States, Australia, Canada, Japan, the Republic of South Africa or in any other jurisdiction.

Alpha Group International plc

("Alpha" or the "Group") 

Publication of Prospectus

Further to the announcement made on 17 April 2024, Alpha is pleased to announce the publication of a prospectus (the "Prospectus") in relation to the proposed admission of its ordinary shares (the "Ordinary Shares") to the premium listing segment of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA") and to trading on the main market for listed securities (the "Main Market") of London Stock Exchange plc (the "London Stock Exchange") (together, "Admission").

It is expected that: (i) the Ordinary Shares will be admitted to the premium listing segment of the Official List and to trading on the Main Market at 8.00 a.m. on 2 May 2024; and (ii) the Ordinary Shares will be delisted from AIM at 7.00 a.m. on 2 May 2024. The last day of trading of the Company's Ordinary Shares on AIM is therefore expected to be 1 May 2024.

The Company is not offering any new Ordinary Shares nor any other securities in connection with the proposed Admission. Following Admission, the Company's Ordinary Shares will continue to be registered with their existing ISIN of: GB00BF1TM596. The Company's ticker symbol will be "ALPH".

The Company's shareholders should consult their own tax advisers as to the tax implications of the Company's proposed move to the Main Market.

The Prospectus has been approved by the FCA and will shortly be available to view on Alpha's website, https://www.alphagroup.com/investors/financial-information/. A copy of the Prospectus will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
