Quantum Blockchain Technologies plc
("QBT" or "the Company")
Renewal of Warrants
QBT (AIM: QBT), the AIM-listed research and development company focused on
blockchain technologies, is pleased to announce that, further to the expiry of
previously issued warrants on 6 May 2026, the Board has approved the grant of
new warrants over approximately 269,500,000 ordinary shares of £0.0025 each in
the capital of the Company (the "Warrants") to certain directors, employees and
consultants.
The Warrants are being granted on substantially the same basis as the expired
instruments, with the same number of warrants being reallocated to the same
recipients, save for:
· the removal of allocations to former directors who have passed
away;
· an increase in allocation to a key employee; and
· an increase in allocation to Mark Trafeli and Vladmir
Kusznirczuk, the Company's non-executive directors.
136,000,000 Warrants will be exercisable at 2.5 pence each, and 133,500,000
Warrants will be exercisable at 5 pence each. All Warrants will expire on 31
December 2028. The Warrants vest immediately and are being issued under a new
warrant instrument.
The purpose of the grant is to ensure continued alignment of management,
employees and consultants with shareholders following the lapse of the previous
warrant arrangements.
An additional 5,000,000 of the old warrants originally issued to the late former
Non-Executive Director; Reg Eccles remain in issue until December 2026.
Further to the grant of the Warrants, the total number of the Company's warrants
represents approximately 17% of the non-diluted issued share capital of the
Company.
Issue of Warrants to Directors
59,500,000 of the Warrants were issued to employees and consultants of the
Company, and 210,000,000 of the Warrants were issued to directors of the
Company, as set out in the table below:

Gardin, the Company's CEO.
Related Party Transaction
The grant of Warrants to Directors of the Company, being Francesco Gardin, Mark
Trafeli and Vladimir Kusznirczuk (or their service companies), constitutes a
related party transaction for the purposes of Rule 13 of the AIM Rules for
Companies.
As all of the Directors are being issued with Warrants, there are no Directors
independent of the issue of Warrants. Accordingly, SP Angel Corporate Finance
LLP, the Company's nominated adviser, considers that the terms of the above
grant of Warrants are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders
are concerned.
Further details of the transactions for the purposes of Article 19 of the UK
Market Abuse Regulation are set out below.
