    Nakama Group   plc 

("Nakama" or the "Company")

Result of General Meeting

Nakama (AIM:NAK) announces that, at its General Meeting held earlier today, both resolutions proposed were duly passed unanimously. Accordingly, the disposal of the Company's four operating businesses to the Sanderson Group is expected to complete at 5 p.m. on 4 January 2021 ("Completion").

Following Completion, the Company will become an AIM Rule 15 cash shell and as such, will either be required to make an acquisition or acquisitions constituting a reverse takeover under AIM Rule 14 on or before the date falling six months from Completion or be re-admitted to trading on AIM as an investing company under the AIM Rules (which requires the raising of at least GBP6 million) failing which, the Company's ordinary shares would then be suspended from trading on AIM pursuant to AIM Rule 40. Admission to trading of the Company's ordinary shares on AIM would be cancelled six months from the date of any suspension should the suspension not have been lifted beforehand.

Change of name

The change of the Company's name to Ridgecrest plc will become effective upon the issuance by the Registrar of Companies of a Certificate of Change of Name. A further announcement will be made when trading in the Company's ordinary shares on AIM under the name Ridgecrest plc is to become effective.

Board changes

Robert Thesiger, Chief Executive of Nakama, will join the Sanderson Group, on a consultancy basis, pursuant to the Disposal. Robert Thesiger will, however, remain as a director of Nakama. The Board has also decided that, upon Completion, Mr Thesiger will become Chairman of the Company and Tim Sheffield will remain as a Non-Executive Director. Michael Clelland will resign as a Non-Executive Director of Nakama upon Completion.

Defined terms used in this announcement have the same meaning as in the Company's announcement of 9 December 2020, unless the context requires otherwise.
