Holdings in the Company Correction
Valereum Plc (AQSE: VLRM | OTCQB: VLRMF), a company aiming to become the global
market leader in the tokenised digital markets sector, has been notified by its Group CEO,
Gary Cottle of the following correction to its shareholding in the Company. The notification was
submitted by Gary Cottle to the Company on time, and the correct Directors' Dealing form was
published on 15 May 2026. However, due to an administrative error, the number of shares held
was incorrectly stated.
The notification stated that Mr. Cottle held 10,951,613 voting rights. This has been corrected to
20,951,613 voting rights to reflect the subscription shares purchased by Mr. Cottle, as
announced on 15 May 2026. There are no changes to the % of voting rights attached to
shares.

IMPORTANT NOTICES
The Company holds cryptocurrencies or crypto assets in its treasury. Whilst the Board of Directors of the
Company considers holding cryptocurrencies to be in the best interests of the Company, the Board
remains aware that the financial regulator in the UK (the Financial Conduct Authority or FCA) considers
investment in cryptocurrencies to be high risk. At the outset, it is important to note that an investment in
the Company is not an investment in cryptocurrencies, either directly or by proxy and shareholders will
have no direct access to the Company's holdings. However, the Board of Directors consider
cryptocurrencies to be an appropriate store of value and potential growth and therefore appropriate for
the Company. Accordingly, the Company is and intends to continue to be materially exposed to
cryptocurrencies.
The Company is neither authorised nor regulated by the FCA, and the purchase of certain
cryptocurrencies are generally unregulated in the UK. As with most other investments, the value of
cryptocurrencies can go down as well as up, and therefore the value of the Company's cryptocurrencies
holdings can fluctuate. The Company may not be able to realise its cryptocurrencies holdings for the
same as it paid to acquire them or even for the value the Company currently ascribes to its
cryptocurrencies positions due to market movements. Neither the Company nor investors in the
Company's shares are protected by the UK's Financial Ombudsman Service or the Financial Services
Compensation Scheme.
Cryptocurrencies may present special risks to the Company's financial position. These risks include (but
are not limited to): (i) the value of cryptocurrencies can be highly volatile, with value dropping as quickly
as it can rise. Investors in cryptocurrencies must be prepared to lose all money invested in
cryptocurrencies; (ii) the cryptocurrencies market is largely unregulated. There is a risk of losing money
due to risks such as cyber-attacks, financial crime and counterparty failure; (iii) the Company may not be
able to sell its cryptocurrencies at will. The ability to sell cryptocurrencies depends on various factors,
including the supply and demand in the market at the relevant time. Operational failings such as
technology outages, cyber-attacks and commingling of funds could cause unwanted delay; and (iv)
crypto assets are characterised in some quarters by high degrees of fraud, money laundering and
financial crime. Prospective investors in the Company are encouraged to do their own research before
investing.
The Company also holds digital tokens as part of its strategy to become the global market leader in the
rapidly developing tokenised digital markets sector. Whilst the Board of Directors of the Company
considers holding tokens to be in the best interests of the Company, it is important to note that an
investment in the Company is not a direct or indirect ownership interest, security, or claim in respect of
any underlying asset or reserve to which a token may relate. The valuation of tokens, particularly those
linked to mining reserves or other physical assets, is inherently uncertain and may depend on
independent third-party verification. Further risks include the liquidity of the tokenised markets, reliance
on the security and continued operation of underlying blockchain or smart contract infrastructure,
counterparty and custody risk in respect of third party platforms, the risk of misrepresentation or fraud
regarding underlying reserves, and evolving regulatory, tax, and accounting treatment. It should not be
assumed that tokens carry rights or protections to traditional securities or regulated investment products
and investors are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence on the Company's exposure to
tokenised assets before making any investment decision.
