Following the admission of the Company's ordinary shares of 1 pence each ("Ordinary Shares") to trading on AIM on 12 March 2021, Mothercare announces the expected completion of the CULS Arrangements with the conversion of the outstanding shareholder loans into new Ordinary Shares.

The CULS Arrangements results in the extinguishing of £19m of shareholder loans in exchange for 189,644,132 Ordinary Shares in aggregate, as set out in the shareholder circular dated 25 January 2021 with the associated resolutions were approved by Mothercare shareholders on 10 February 2021.

An application has been made to The London Stock Exchange for 189,644,132 Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. Admission is expected to become effective at 8.00 a.m. on 17 March 2021.

Under AIM Rule 13 the conversions of the shareholder loans into new ordinary shares in relation to Richard Griffiths and Lombard Odier (and their respective affiliates) constitute Related Party Transactions under the AIM Rules. Richard Griffiths and his affiliates beneficially owned 77,624,573 shares (20.7%) and £11m of shareholder loans at conversion and following conversion will own 187,332,272 shares (33.2%) and 8,611,110 warrants over ordinary shares.
