HAYDALE GRAPHENE INDUSTRIES PLC

("Haydale", the "Company" or the "Group")

Result of Fundraising

Haydale, the global technologies group and service provider that facilitates the integration of graphene and other nanomaterials into the next generation of industrial materials and commercial technologies, announces that further to its announcement at 7.00 a.m. today (the "Announcement"), it has successfully completed the Fundraising which is now closed.

The Fundraising has raised GBP2.98 million (gross) through the placing and subscription of 85,055,950 new Ordinary Shares, all at an Issue Price of 3.5 pence per share.

The funds raised by the Fundraising will be used predominantly as working capital to finance the operations of the Company.

Director Participation

The Directors of the Company, all of whom have agreed to subscribe for New Ordinary Shares, will subscribe for an aggregate of 1,999,998 New Ordinary Shares through the Subscription. It is expected that the Directors' interests following completion of the Fundraising (assuming all the New Ordinary Shares are issued) will be as follows:

 
 Director                No. of New           Aggregate          Resulting        % of enlarged 
                       Ordinary Shares      value at Issue    holding following    issued voting

                         pursuant to 
                          the terms 
                     of the Subscription

Admission and Total Voting Rights

The Placing and Subscription of the 85,055,950 new Ordinary Shares is conditional on Admission and is being carried out within the Company's existing share authority to issue Ordinary Shares for cash.

It is expected that the new Ordinary Shares will be admitted to trading on AIM at 8.00 a.m. on or around 15 September 2020 (or such later date as may be agreed between the Company and Arden, but no later than 29 September 2020).

Following the Admission, the total number of Ordinary Shares in the Company in issue will be 425,279,798. The Company holds no Ordinary Shares in Treasury. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

Related Party Transaction

Participation in the Placing by Quilter plc and in the Subscription by Anthony Best, both substantial shareholders as defined by the AIM Rules, are considered to be "related party transactions" under the AIM Rules. The Directors consider, having consulted with Arden Partners plc, the Company's Nominated Adviser, that the terms of participation for Quilter plc and Anthony Best in the Placing and Subscription respectively are fair and reasonable in so far as its Shareholders are concerned.
