Please note that the Company's intention had been to convene an extraordinary general meeting for DCAC Shareholders, a DCAC Ordinary Shareholder class meeting, a DCAC Sponsor Shareholder class meeting and a DCAC Warrant Holder meeting on 10 May 2023 by way of notice contained in the Shareholder Circular dated 19 April 2023 (the Prior Shareholder Circular) and as referenced in the press release dated 19 April 2023 (DCAC announces Business Combination with Global (globenewswire.com)). However due to technical issues in terms of stock exchange processes, a revised Shareholder Circular dated 20 April 2023 (the Revised Shareholder Circular) has been uploaded providing for the extraordinary general meeting for DCAC Shareholders, a DCAC Ordinary Shareholder class meeting, a DCAC Sponsor Shareholder class meeting and DCAC Warrant Holders meeting to be held two days later, on 12 May 2023, which will also give more time for proxies to be submitted when DCAC Shareholders might otherwise be constrained by the UK Coronation holiday.

About DCAC

DCAC is a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) incorporated on 29 April 2021 under the Companies Law as a non-cellular company limited by shares.

DCAC was created for the purpose of completing a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset and/or liability acquisition, share purchase, reorganisation or similar business combination with a target business or entity.

DCAC's leadership team comprises executive directors: Edmund Truell (Chief Executive Officer); non-executive directors: Wolf Becke (Chair/Independent Non-Executive Director), and Roger Le Tissier (Non-Executive Director); and special advisers: Dimitri Goulandris, Kari Stadigh and Luke Webster.

DCAC was launched by Disruptive Capital GP Limited, a Guernsey investment firm licensed by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission to carry on controlled investment business under the Protection of Investors (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law, 2020.

Disruptive Capital GP was founded by Edmund Truell and his late brother, Daniel Truell, former CIO of the Wellcome Trust charitable endowment. Following his death, the firm is now owned by the de Boucaud Truell Inter-Generational FLP and the Truell Conservation Foundation, a UK registered charity, set up to ‘make money for charity by being good investors’.

The initial public offering (“IPO”) of DCAC took place on 6 October 2021. DCAC successfully completed the DCAC IPO, raising £125 million from new investors. Pursuant to reorganisation plans, some £123 million has and is being returned to shareholders. The Company now holds some £5 million in cash, post settlement of the share repurchases deemed valid, and having met all its outstanding liabilities.

DCAC first announced proposals for the Business Combination on 20th February 2023.

The DCAC Ordinary Shares and DCAC Warrants are currently separately listed and traded on Euronext Amsterdam under the ISIN GG00BMB5XZ39 and symbol DCACS for the DCAC Ordinary Shares and ISIN GG00BMB5XY22 and symbol DCACW for the DCAC Warrants.

A copy of the Revised Shareholder Circular is available on the DCAC website (www.disruptivecapitalac.com).
