Board Update, Issue of Equity and Total Voting Rights

Barkby, (AIM:BARK) announces that Jeremy Sparrow has stepped down from the Board and as a Non-Executive Director of the Group with immediate effect. A new Non-Executive Director appointment is currently under consideration.

Charles Dickson, Chairman of Barkby, said:

"The Board thanks Jeremy for his significant contribution to the Group over the last seven years and wishes him well in his future endeavours.

"Jeremy's guidance as we refocus the Company's activities on real estate opportunities has been invaluable. Our search for a new Non-Executive Director is underway and will ensure the Board retains the right balance of skills and experience to support the successful implementation of our strategy."

Issue of Equity

Barkby has today issued and allotted, in aggregate, 416,666 new Ordinary Shares of GBP0.00860675675675676 each in the capital of the Company, ("Ordinary Shares") to Douglas Alexander Benzie, a Director of the Company, in relation to an agreed equity grant upon completion of three years' service.

Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM, ("Admission") and it is expected that Admission will become effective and trading will commence at 8.00 am on 18 May 2023. The new Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the Company's existing shares.

Total Voting Rights

Following Admission the Company's issued share capital consists of 143,677,804 Ordinary Shares, each with voting rights.
