Result of General Meeting

Issue of Equity & Total Voting Rights

(London, UK, 12 May 2022) Chill Brands, the international consumer packaged goods company, is pleased to announce that at the General Meeting held earlier today, all resolutions were passed.

As a result, the fundraising announced on 26 April 2022 to raise £3.5m will proceed.  The detailed results of General Meeting will be published on the Company's website.

Admission and Total Voting Rights

29,166,699 new ordinary shares of 1 pence each ("Ordinary Shares") will be issued at a price of 2 pence per Ordinary Share, for a total amount of £583,334 (the "New Shares"). The New Shares will be issued and be admitted to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange and to listing in the Standard Segment of the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") Official List, with effect from 13 May 2022 ("Admission"). 

On Admission, the Company will have 241,336,733 Ordinary Shares in issue, each with one voting right.  There are no shares held in treasury.  Therefore, the Company's total number of Ordinary Shares and voting rights will be 241,336,733 and this figure may be used by shareholders from Admission 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.  As announced on 21 April 2022, the Company anticipates a further 500,000 Ordinary Shares will be admitted to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange and to listing in the Standard Segment of the FCA Official List on or around 19 May 2022, at which point the Company will have total voting rights of 241,836,733 Ordinary Shares.

Issue of Loan Notes and Proposed Open Offer

In addition to the New Shares, the Company will also now issue the convertible loan notes with an aggregate value of £2,916,669.90 (the "Loan Notes"), as set out in the announcement of 26 April 2022.

The Company will also now proceed with the proposed open offer that was announced on 9 May 2022 (the "Open Offer").  It is expected that documentation relating to the Open Offer will be published and posted to shareholders before the end of the month.  A further announcement will be made at the time.

The Company will also now proceed with the preparation of a prospectus, as set out in the announcement of 26 April 2022, which will now also include elements relating to the Open Offer.

Callum Sommerton, Chief Executive Officer, said: " We would like to thank our shareholders for their support of the Company in passing the resolutions proposed at our General Meeting earlier today. Amidst difficult market conditions and turbulence for some competitors, Chill Brands is now well capitalised for growth. From cutting costs to refining our model, there is a great deal of hard work ahead of us and we look forward to providing further operational updates in due course ."
