About this update from Arbuthnot Banking Group Plc
1 June 2026 Arbuthnot Banking Group PLC (the "Company") Admission of Ordinary Non-Voting Shares to Trading on AIM Arbuthnot Banking Group PLC (AIM: ARBB) announces that an application has been made for its ordinary non-voting shares of £0.01 each (the "Ordinary Non-Voting Shares") to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission") and it is expected that Admission in respect of the Ordinary Non-Voting Shares will become effective at 8:00 a.m. on or around 2 June 2026 .
