XLMedia Update on Proposed Cancellation of Admission of the Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM XLMedia plc hereby gives notice of the proposed voluntary cancellation of the admission of its ordinary shares of USD 0.000001 each ("Ordinary Shares") from trading on AIM (the "Cancellation") pursuant to Rule 41 of the AIM Rules for Companies. As detailed in previous announcements, the Company became an AIM Rule 15 Cash Shell on 13 November 2024 following disposals of its businesses and has since been solely focused on the distribution of cash proceeds to shareholders and the orderly wind up of its affairs and ultimate liquidation of the Group. Having become an AIM Rule 15 Cash Shell and with no intention of undertaking a reverse takeover pursuant to AIM Rule 14, trading in the Ordinary Shares was suspended at 7.30 a.m. on 14 May 2025. To advance the wind-down process and minimise costs, the Company is terminating services that are no longer required to support its residual activities. With the orderly distribution of a significant proportion of the cash proceeds of the disposals to shareholders through two tender offers having completed, the Directors have concluded there is no longer a benefit in retaining the Company's AIM quotation. Accordingly, the Company is proceeding with the Cancellation which is proposed to take effect on 18 June 2025 conditional on shareholder approval. Following Cancellation there will be a liquidation process in due course to realise assets and settle the Company's outstanding liabilities. Further returns may be made to shareholders from the liquidation process if there are sufficient realisable assets to meet all liabilities although there can be no certainty that there will be any further such distributions. The Company intends to convene a general meeting on 10 June 2025 to seek shareholder approval for the Cancellation (the "General Meeting") and a circular containing further details of the Cancellation together with a notice of the General Meeting is expected to be sent to shareholders on or before 23 May 2025. In accordance with the AIM Rules, the Cancellation must be approved by shareholders holding not less than 75% of votes cast by shareholders at the General Meeting. A further announcement will be made once the Circular has been published. If the Cancellation becomes effective on 18 June 2025, Cavendish will cease to be the nominated adviser of the Company pursuant to the AIM Rules and the Company will no longer be required to comply with the AIM Rules. Given the ongoing wind-down process of the Group's affairs, it is not expect that the Company will put in place any form of matched bargain or trading facility. Announcement • May 14

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 27% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (49% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 27% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Large one-off items impacting financial results. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (3.3% net profit margin). Market cap is less than US$100m (US$27.4m market cap). Announcement • May 05
