("Toople" or the "Company")

Result of General Meeting

Completion of Placing and Acquisition

The Board of Toople, a provider of bespoke telecom services to UK SMEs, is pleased to announce that, at the General Meeting held earlier today, all resolutions were duly passed. Capitalised terms used but not defined in this announcement have the meaning given to them in the proposed acquisition, placing and notice of general meeting announcement dated 31 January 2020.

Placing and Acquisition

Following the passing of the resolutions, it is expected that the completion of the Placing and the Acquisition of DMS Holding will take place at 08.00 a.m. tomorrow on the Admission of the New Ordinary Shares to the standard segment of the Official List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities.

Issue of Equity

Application has been made to London Stock Exchange for the Placing Shares, the Consideration Shares and the Fee Shares to be admitted to trading on the main market for listed securities and it is anticipated that trading in the New Ordinary Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 18 February 2020. The New Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the Existing Ordinary Shares.

Total Voting Rights

Following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will comprise 3,520,051,135 Ordinary Shares with voting rights. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. The figure of 3,520,051,135 Ordinary Shares may therefore be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
