Vinanz Receives US DTC Eligibility and Establishment of EBT

Vinanz Limited (London AQSE: BTC and US OTCQB: VINZF), the London listed Bitcoin mining company focusing on decentralised deployment of Bitcoin mining clusters in multiple data facilities throughout the US and Canada, announces that the Company has now received The Depository Trust Company (the "DTC") full-service eligibility in the United States, making the Company's shares more accessible to U.S. retail and institutional investors.

The DTC is the largest securities depository in the world and facilitates electronic settlement of stock certificate transfers in the United States. The shares of the Company, trading under the symbol "VINZF" in the United States, are now eligible to be electronically cleared and settled through the DTC and are therefore considered "DTC eligible". This electronic method of clearing securities offers a more efficient, lower-cost settlement process for investors and brokers.

In addition, the Company announces that it has now established the Vinanz Limited Employee Benefit Trust ("EBT") to implement the use of an incentive plan as set out in the Company's admission document dated 20 April 2023 ("Admission Document").

David Lenigas, Vinanz's Executive Chairman, said:

"Securing DTC Eligibility is very exciting news for the Company and completes our goal of enabling U.S. investors to easily trade in Vinanz's shares under our OTCQB listing on-line, in real-time and in US dollars with the ticker symbol "VINZF". Real-time electronic clearing and settlement streamlines investor access in an important market for Vinanz. DTC Eligibility should also see a lot more market making in our shares over the coming weeks to months."

"To tie in with the expected Bitcoin halving around the 19 April and coinciding with our DTC eligibility for US trading, Vinanz senior management will be attending New York the week commencing 22 April to conduct a number of meetings with OTC Markets, brokers and institutional investors and will also be participating in OTC Market's April 25th Blockchain & Digital Asset Virtual Investor Conference."

The Company intends to issue and allot 26,377,951 ordinary shares in the Company to the EBT ("EBT Shares") at nominal value, as advised in the Admission Document, which is equivalent to 16.67% of the current issued ordinary share capital of the Company. These ordinary shares shall be held in the EBT on trust pending transfer upon the vesting (or exercise, as the case may be) of awards granted, and for such other purposes relating to the ongoing recruitment, retention and incentivisation of employees as may be recommended by the Company from time to time (subject to the approval of the Remuneration Committee). Further to disclosures in the Company's Admission Document, the beneficiaries of any future distribution of EBT Shares to employees and directors will be notified upon determination.

Application will be made to the Aquis Stock Exchange for admission of the EBT Shares to trading on Aquis ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective and dealings in the EBT Shares will commence on Aquis at 8.00 a.m. on or around 18 April 2024.

The EBT Shares will be issued fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing Ordinary Shares.

Following Admission, the total number of Ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company will be 158,267,707 with voting rights. This 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's issued share capital pursuant to the Company's Articles.
