Haydale ( LON: HAYD.L ), the AIM quoted global technologies

graphene and other nanomaterials into the next generation of
industrial materials and commercial technologies, is pleased to
announce a conditional offer for subscription via PrimaryBid (the
"Retail Offer") of new ordinary shares of 2 pence each in the
Company ("Retail Shares") at an issue price of 6 pence per Retail
Share (the "Issue Price"), being a discount of 22.1 per cent to the
closing mid-price on 17 September 2021. The Company is also
conducting a placing of new ordinary shares by way of an
accelerated bookbuild process (the "Placing") and subscription by
certain of the Directors and other existing shareholders of Haydale
(the "Subscription"), as announced earlier today (the Retail Offer,
the Placing and the Subscription together "the Fundraise"). T he
price payable by investors for shares in the Placing, as well as
for shares in the Subscription, is equal to the Issue Price.
The new ordinary shares to be issued pursuant to the Fundraise
will be admitted to trading on the AIM market of the London Stock
Exchange ("Admission"). Admission is expected to take place at 8.00
a.m. on or around 23 September 2021 . The Retail Offer will not be
completed without the Placing and the Subscription also being
completed.
The Company will use the proceeds to:
- fund working capital requirements across the next 12-18 months;
- support debt facilities in scaling up manufacturing capacity
at the Company's Ammanford site; and
- to drive forward product rollout into the US market.

pleased to provide private and other investors the opportunity to
participate in the Retail Offer by applying exclusively through the

p.m. on 20 September 2021 . The Retail Offer may close early if it

Details of the Retail Offer
The Company highly values its retail investor base which has
supported the Company alongside institutional investors over

Retail Offer available exclusively through the PrimaryBid mobile
app.

million (equivalent to approximately GBP 6.81 million at the
exchange rate of GBP1 to EUR 1.17 as at 17 September 2021), as is
legally required. Accordingly, the Company is not required to
prepare, and has not prepared, a prospectus in connection with the
Retail Offer as it falls within the exemption set out in section
86(1)(3) and 86(4) of FSMA. The Retail Offer is not being made into
any Restricted Jurisdiction.
There is a minimum subscription of GBP250 per investor under the
terms of the Retail Offer which is open to existing shareholders
and other investors subscribing via the PrimaryBid mobile app.
