16 August 2021

 Dispersion Holdings PLC

("Dispersion" or "The Company")

Application filed for share trading on the OTCQB Venture Market in the United States

Dispersion Holdings (AQSE:DEFI), an investment company specialising in decentralised finance (DeFi), is pleased to announce that it has filed an application with OTC Markets Group for the Company's shares to be cross-traded publicly on the OTCQB Venture Market ("OTCQB"), which would make Dispersion's shares more widely available to North American investors. 

Trading on the US OTC market would have no impact on Dispersion's existing ordinary shares trading on the AQSE Growth Market Access Segment in London and no new ordinary shares will be issued as part of the cross-trade. Dispersion will continue to comply with its obligations under the AQSE Growth Market Access Segment Rules and will have no Sarbanes-Oxley or SEC reporting requirements.

Should the application be successful, the cross-trading facility will be provided through OTC Markets Group Inc., located in New York, USA. OTC Markets operates the world's largest electronic interdealer quotation system for US broker dealers and offers multiple media channels to increase the visibility of OTC-traded companies.

Mike Edwards, Chief Executive of Dispersion, said: "We are keen to make Dispersion's shares available to the US markets in order to gain access to a broader investor base and also to enhance our visibility in North America. Dual trading on the OTC markets will represent an important development for the Company."
