AIM Delisting

Following approval by Shareholders at the General Meeting, the admission of the ordinary shares of $0.01 each in the capital of the Company (the "Ordinary Shares") to trading on AIM will be cancelled (the "AIM Delisting"). The AIM Delisting is expected to take place at 7.00 a.m. on 16 August 2024 and, accordingly, the last day of dealings in Ordinary Shares on AIM is expected to be 15 August 2024. Any Ordinary Shares held post de-listing (effective from 7.00am on 16 August 2024), whether in certificated form or via CREST, will be admitted to trading on the secondary trading facility as set out below.

Secondary trading facility

As announced on 22 July 2024, Asset Match, a firm Authorised and Regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 579310), will operate an electronic off-market dealing facility for the Ordinary shares. This facility will allow existing shareholders of the Company and new investors to trade the Ordinary Shares by matching buyers and sellers through periodic auctions. 

Investors are encouraged to register on www.assetmatch.com and add Chaarat Gold Holdings Limited to their 'Watchlist' to continue to receive Company updates and auction/price information. The Asset Match trading facility operates under its own code of practice which governs the behaviour of participants and the running of the periodic auctions. Asset Match operates an open auction system where volumes of bids and offers at different prices are displayed on-screen together with the closing date of the auction. At the end of each auction period, Asset Match passes this information through a non-discretionary algorithm that determines a "market-derived" single clearing price ("Share Price") based on supply and demand and allocates transactions accordingly. Bids and offers may be made, amended and withdrawn at any time before the closing date of each auction.

Shareholders will continue to be able to hold their Ordinary Shares in uncertificated form (i.e. in CREST) and should check with their existing stockbroker whether they are willing or able to trade in unquoted shares. Shareholders wishing to trade shares through Asset Match must do so through a stockbroker. A comprehensive list of stockbrokers who have signed up to access the Asset Match platform is available on request.

Full details will be made available to Shareholders on the Company's website at www.chaarat.com. Investors may contact Asset Match in relation to any queries regarding trading via the secondary market trading facility by emailing dealing@assetmatch.com.

Unless otherwise indicated, defined terms in this announcement shall have the same meaning as described in the Circular.
