PrimaryBid Offer

TMT Investments Plc (AIM: TMT) ("TMT" or the "Company"), the venture capital company investing in high-growth, technology companies across a number of core specialist sectors, is pleased to announce a conditional subscription via PrimaryBid (the "PrimaryBid Offer") of new ordinary shares of no par value in the Company ("Ordinary Shares")(the "PrimaryBid Offer Shares") at an issue price of US$8.50 per share (the "Issue Price") which represents a discount of 7.6 per cent. to the closing middle market price of an Ordinary Share on 30 September 2021 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Announcement) and a premium of 13.5 per cent. to the Company's unaudited net asset value per share of US$7.49 as at 30 June 2021.

Earlier today, the Company also announced a conditional capital raise to raise US$18.5 million before expenses (the "Capital Raising") by way of the issue of an aggregate of 2,176,471 new Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price (the "Capital Raising Announcement"). The Capital Raising consists of a conditional placing of 1,577,672 new Ordinary Shares (the "Placing Shares") at the Issue Price with new and existing institutional investors and separate conditional direct subscriptions with the Company for an aggregate of 598,799 new Ordinary Shares (the "Subscription Shares" and together with the Placing Shares, the "New Ordinary Shares") by Executive Director Alexander Selegenev and certain members of the Company's founding management team and their connected parties.

The Capital Raising is conditional upon, inter alia, the New Ordinary Shares being admitted to trading on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange ("AIM")("Admission").

The PrimaryBid Offer is conditional upon Admission and the admission of the PrimaryBid Offer Shares being admitted to trading on AIM becoming effective ("PrimaryBid Admission"). Admission and PrimaryBid Admission are expected to become effective on or about 8.00 a.m. on 7 October 2021.

The PrimaryBid Offer will therefore not be completed without the Capital Raising also being completed.

The net proceeds of the PrimaryBid Offer, together with the net proceeds of the Capital Raising, will be used as described in the Capital Raising Announcement.

The PrimaryBid Offer

The Company values its retail investor base and is therefore pleased to provide private and other investors with the opportunity to participate in the PrimaryBid Offer by applying exclusively through the PrimaryBid mobile app available on the Apple App Store and Google Play. PrimaryBid does not charge investors any commission for this service.

The PrimaryBid Offer, via the PrimaryBid mobile app, will be open to individual and institutional investors following the publication of this Announcement. The PrimaryBid Offer is expected to close at 12 noon on 4 October 2021. The PrimaryBid Offer may be closed early if it is oversubscribed.

A maximum of approximately US$1.5 million will be raised pursuant to the PrimaryBid Offer through the issue of a maximum of 176,470 PrimaryBid Offer Shares. While the Issue Price is US$8.50, valid applications under the PrimaryBid Offer will be processed by PrimaryBid in Pounds Sterling (GBP) and the final Sterling equivalent Issue Price will be announced by the Company at the same time as the results of the PrimaryBid Offer. At the time of this Announcement the Sterling equivalent of the Issue Price is GBP6.31 based on an exchange rate of US$1.00:GBP0.7422.

The Company reserves the right to scale back any order at its discretion. The Company and PrimaryBid reserve the right to reject any application for subscription under the PrimaryBid Offer without giving any reason for such rejection.
