The Retail Offer

Seraphim Space Investment Trust plc is pleased to announce a conditional retail offer of C Shares in the capital of the Company (" C Shares ") via RetailBook (the " Retail Offer ") at an issue price of £ 1.00 per C Share (the " Issue Price ").

The Company is also conducting a conditional placing of C Shares to institutional investors (the " Placing ", together with the Retail Offer, the " Issue ") as announced by the Company earlier today. For the avoidance of doubt, the Retail Offer is not part of the Placing.

The Issue is conditional on approval by the Company's shareholders at a general meeting to be held on 6 May 2026 (the " General Meeting "); further details are available in the circular published by the Company on 16 April 2026. The Issue is further conditional on the C Shares to be issued pursuant to the Retail Offer and the Placing being admitted to the closed-ended investment funds category of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority (the " FCA ") and admitted to trading on the main market for listed securities of London Stock Exchange plc (" Admission "). Admission is expected to take place at 8:00 a.m. on 12 May 2026.

The Retail Offer will not be completed without the Placing also being completed.

The Company is expected to use the net proceeds of the Issue to continue its strategy executed since IPO, exploiting SSIT's investment manager's position in the global SpaceTech ecosystem to strengthen and expand SSIT's portfolio through deployment into a pipeline of investment opportunities.

More information on how to apply in the Retail Offer, and access to a retail flyer and management video, can be found here: https://app.retailbook.com/offers/seraphim.

The C Shares

The assets representing the net proceeds of the Issue will be accounted for and managed as a distinct pool of assets until the C Shares are converted into Ordinary Shares.

The Directors are proposing to adopt new articles of association of the Company (the " Revised Articles ") to amend the rights attaching to the C Shares, principally to provide for relevant proportions of the C Shares to convert into Ordinary Shares on a periodic basis based on the quarterly NAVs as the proceeds of the Issue are invested. The Issue is conditional on shareholder approval of the Revised Articles at the General Meeting.

The proposed conversions of the C Shares are to enable holders of C Shares to access the Company's portfolio of assets attributable to the Ordinary Shares in a timely manner as the proceeds of the Issue are invested, while at the same time ensuring that existing holders of Ordinary Shares are not exposed to a portfolio with a higher proportion of uninvested cash and reducing the concentration risk of the portfolio associated with the Ordinary Shares. Each periodic conversion is subject to a minimum amount of the proceeds of the Issue having been invested.

Reason for the Retail Offer

The Company values its retail shareholder base and believes that it is in the best interests of shareholders as well as wider stakeholders to provide retail and other interested investors the opportunity to participate in the Issue through the Retail Offer.

The Retail Offer is open to eligible investors resident and physically located in the United Kingdom following release of this announcement. The Retail Offer is expected to close at 12.00 p.m. on 6 May 2026 and may close earlier at the discretion of the Company.

Investors can participate through RetailBook's partner network of investment platforms, retail brokers and wealth managers, subject to such partners' participation. More information on RetailBook's participating partners can be found here: https://app.retailbook.com/offers/seraphim.

Applications for C Shares through participating partners can be made from tax efficient savings vehicles such as ISAs or SIPPs, as well as GIAs. Investors wishing to apply using their ISA, SIPP or GIA should contact their investment platform, retail broker or wealth manager for details of their terms and conditions, process and any relevant fees or charges.

Brokers wishing to offer their customers access to the Retail Offer and future RetailBook transactions, should contact partners@retailbook.com. UK investors that wish to receive alerts for future RetailBook transactions should sign up here: https://www.retailbook.com/investors.

Eligibility for the Retail Offer

The Retail Offer is available to new and existing shareholders of the Company. To be eligible to participate in the Retail Offer, applicants must be a customer of a participating partner.

Eligible investors wishing to subscribe for C Shares should contact their investment platform, retail broker or wealth manager to confirm if they are participating in the Retail Offer.

Some partners may only accept applications from existing shareholders and/or existing customers.

There is a minimum subscription of £250 per investor. The terms and conditions on which investors subscribe will be provided by the relevant financial intermediaries including relevant commission or fee charges. Note, no commission will be charged to investors by RetailBook in connection with the Retail Offer.

The Company reserves the right to scale back any order under the Retail Offer at its discretion. The Company reserves the right to reject any application for subscription under the Retail Offer without giving any reason for such rejection.

Investors should make their own investigations into the merits of an investment in the Company. Nothing in this announcement amounts to a recommendation to invest in the Company or amounts to investment, taxation or legal advice.

It should be noted that a subscription for C Shares and investment in the Company carries a number of risks. Investors should take independent advice from a person experienced in advising on investment in securities such as the C Shares if they are in any doubt.

An investment in the Company will place capital at risk.
