*TRIQ I-IMSIDA IL-GZIRA, MALTA / ACCESSWIRE / May 16, 2024 / *Raketech (STO:RAKE) NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING 2024 (the "Meeting") of Raketech Group Holding p.l.c., company registration number C77421 (the "Company" or "RGH"), will be held on 26 June 2024, at 1 p.m. (CET) at the premises of the Company in SOHO Office (The Strand), Fawwara Building, Triq l-Imsida il-Gzira, Malta.
*Purpose of the Meeting*
· At the Company's annual general meeting held on 16 May 2024 (the "*AGM*"), the Board of Directors proposed the adoption of an extraordinary resolution to authorise the Company to acquire its own shares (the "*Extraordinary Resolution*").
· In order to be passed at the AGM, the Extraordinary Resolution required the support of shareholders having the right to attend and vote at the AGM holding in the aggregate (i) not less than 75 per cent in nominal value of the shares represented and entitled to vote at the AGM; and (ii) at least 51 per cent in nominal value of all the Company´s issued shares.
· Only the first of the two aforementioned majorities was obtained at the AGM in respect of the Extraordinary Resolution. In this regard, article 135 of the Companies Act (Cap. 386 of the laws of Malta) and article 97 of the Articles provides that if one of the two required majorities for the passing of an extraordinary resolution is obtained, but not both, another meeting shall be convened within thirty days to take a fresh vote on the proposed resolution, at which meeting the resolution may be passed by a member or members having the right to attend and vote at the meeting holding in the aggregate not less than seventy five per cent (75%) in nominal value of the shares represented and entitled to vote at the meeting. Alternatively, if more than half in nominal value of all the shares having the right to vote at the meeting are represented at that meeting, a simple majority in nominal value of such shares so represented shall suffice.
· Accordingly, the Meeting is hereby being convened within thirty (30) days of the AGM in order to take a fresh vote on the Extraordinary Resolution, which is once again proposed by the Board and which may be passed in accordance with the revised majority requirements set out in the preceding paragraph.
*Attendance and voting*
· To be entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting (and for the Company to be able to determine the number of votes that may be cast), shareholders must be entered in the register of members maintained by Euroclear Sweden AB on 27 May 2024.
· Shareholders whose shares are registered in the name of a nominee must temporarily re-register their shares in their own name in the register of members maintained by Euroclear Sweden AB in order to be entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting. Such registration must be effected on 27 May 2024. Shareholders must therefore instruct their nominees well in advance thereof.
· To be entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting, shareholders must notify the Company of their intention to participate by mail to Raketech Group Holding P.L.C. c/o Euroclear Sweden AB, Box 191, SE-10123 Stockholm, Sweden, by phone +46(0)8-401 43 10 (during the office hours of Euroclear Sweden AB) or by email at raketech@euroclear.com *by no later than 11:59 p.m. (CET) on 27 May 2024*.

4. The maximum price at which shares may be repurchased shall be the lowest ask price on Nasdaq First North at the time of the relevant repurchase; and
5. The minimum price at which shares may be repurchased shall be the SEK equivalent at the date of the purchase of €0.002 per share.
(2) That the Board of Directors, should it wish to do so, be authorised to cancel any of the shares acquired by the Company as set out above (up to a maximum of 4,271,531 shares), and that the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company be updated to reflect any such reduction in share capital and that any Director and/or the Company Secretary be, and hereby is, authorised to sign the updated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company and handle its registration with the relevant authorities. and to perform any such other act as he/she may deem necessary to give effect to these resolutions, including, inter alia, to issue certified extracts / copies of these resolutions.
