· the increase in the Directors' authority to allot shares up to an aggregate nominal amount of £7,737,812 (representing approximately 246% of the Existing Ordinary Share Capital);
· the disapplication of pre-emption rights in respect of the same aggregate nominal amount; and
· the increase in the dilution limit applicable to the Company's employee share plans from 10% to 20%.
Subdivision of Share Capital
Following the passing of Resolution 13, each of the 3,144,394,215 ordinary shares of £0.001 each in the capital of the Company has been subdivided into two ordinary shares of £0.0005 each, resulting in 6,288,788,430 ordinary shares of £0.0005 each.
The Board has designated one of the two ordinary shares arising from the Subdivision of each Existing Ordinary Share as an Ordinary Share and the other as an A Ordinary Share. The Ordinary Shares have been credited to the Existing Shareholders.

Reclassification of A Ordinary Shares
Following the AGM and a subsequent meeting of a committee of the Board, the Company confirms that it intends to convene a General Meeting at which Shareholders will be asked to approve the adoption of New Articles and the reclassification of the A Ordinary Shares as Deferred Shares.
Subject to the passing of the relevant resolutions at that General Meeting, the Registrar will implement the reclassification in accordance with the New Articles and credit the resulting Deferred Shares to the individual accounts of the Existing Shareholders entitled to the corresponding A Ordinary Shares. The Deferred Shares will have no voting rights, no dividend rights and only a negligible right to capital on a winding up. No application will be made for the admission of the A Ordinary Shares or the Deferred Shares to the Official List or to trading on the London Stock Exchange.
Next Steps
The passing of the resolutions enables the Company to proceed with the Placing and the issue of the Settlement Shares as described in the Prospectus (expected to be published shortly). A further announcement will be made upon publication of the Prospectus.

About Technology Minerals Plc
Technology Minerals is developing the UK's first listed, sustainable circular economy for battery metals, using cutting-edge technology to recycle, recover, and re-use battery technologies for a renewable energy future. Technology Minerals is focused on raw material exploration required for Li-ion batteries, whilst solving the ecological issue of spent Li-ion batteries, by recycling them for re-use by battery manufacturers.
Technology Minerals' Mantle Strategy
The Mantle strategy is Technology Minerals' repositioning as a listed national resilience company, built on the conviction that the private sector must play a central role in securing the UK's sovereign supply of critical resources, capabilities and infrastructure. It aligns the Company directly with the UK Government's Critical Minerals Strategy (Vision 2035) and its targets for domestic production, recycling and reduced reliance on single-country supply.
Mantle is executed across three pillars: Natural Resources (domestic reclamation, extraction, international exploration and stockpiling, anchored by Recyclus Group and the Company's mineral exploration assets); Critical Capabilities (foundational midstream and downstream capacity); and an Enabling Ecosystem (the partnerships and investments needed to pre-empt emerging requirements). Delivery will begin with a consolidation phase that resets the balance sheet and catalyses existing assets, followed by execution of a near-term pipeline of value-accretive opportunities - several revenue-generating and aligned with UK defence and national resilience requirements - as the Company scales towards becoming a critical part of the UK's resilience ecosystem.
