Webis Holdings plc

("Webis" or the "Company")

Delay in publication of the Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 May 2021

The board of Webis hereby notifies shareholders that the completion of the audit of the accounts for the Company, for the year ended 31 May 2021 (the "Accounts") are delayed due to a Covid-19 related issue. Unfortunately, the completion of an annual report from Deloitte USA reviewing the activities of AmTote - the third-party wagering hub provider to Watch&Wager LLC - is delayed as a result of the pandemic. Our auditors, KPMG, are obliged under standard IFRS audit procedures to use this report to provide the verification required to complete the audit by 30 November 2021. The Board is confident that the verification is merely a matter of procedure only and will occasion no change to the Accounts which are anticipated to contain an unqualified audit report. Accordingly, the Company has agreed with AIM an extension to 28 February 2022 for the publication deadline of its Accounts. Every effort is being made to complete the Accounts as soon as possible and they will be published via RNS thereafter.

Meanwhile, the board of Webis provides the following trading update for the year-ended 31 May 2021 which anticipates a US$ 1.1 million uplift in profitability over the previous year: -
