Spectra Systems Corporation
("The Company" or "Spectra")
Annual General Meeting Lack of Quorum, Removal of Regulation S restrictions
from shares and Exercise of Options
Spectra (AIM: SPSY.L) announces that, having received only 8 ballots, it does
not have enough shareholder votes to achieve a quorum to transact business at
its scheduled 2024 Annual General Meeting on 29 July 2024. The presence in
person or by proxy, duly authorized, of the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote constitutes a quorum.
A summary of the votes received is as follows:

Total shares of stock outstanding as of the record date of 28 June 2024 was
48,228,972. Therefore, only approximately 28% of the shares of stock were
voted.
Removal of Regulation S restrictions from shares
Restrictive legends have also been removed from a further 36,072 shares of
common stock of the Company.
As a result, these share have transferred from the Regulation S stock line
ISIN number USU8457D1091 (AIM:SPSC) into the unrestricted line ISIN number
US84756T1060 (AIM:SPSY).
Exercise of Options
An employee has exercised options over 10,000 shares of common stock of $0.01
each in the Company ("Shares") with an exercise price of $0.32 per share on 3
June 2024. The employee has elected to utilize the net cashless exercise
feature and has therefore surrendered 1,105 shares to the Company. The
employee will be issued 8,995 shares. The shares being issued are restricted
securities as defined in Rule 144 of the US Securities Act of 1933 and have
been issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under Rule 701
promulgated under the US Securities Act of 1933.
Accordingly the Company has issued and will apply for 8,995 shares to be
admitted to trading on AIM, which is expected to take place on or around 2
August 2024 ("Admission").
Following Admission the Company's issued share capital will comprise:
· 752,618 shares in the Regulation S stock line ISIN number USU8457D1091
(AIM:SPSC); and
· 47,476,354 shares in the unrestricted line ISIN number US84756T1060
(AIM:SPSY).
In accordance with the provisions of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency
Rules of the FCA ("DTRs"), the issued share capital of Spectra upon Admission
is 48,228,972 shares with voting rights attached (one vote per share). There
are no shares held in treasury, therefore this figure may be used by
shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they will
determine whether they are required to notify their interest in, or a change
to their interest in, Spectra under the DTRs.
