Results of EGM

RM2 International S.A. ("RM2" or the "Company"), the sustainable smart pallet innovator, is pleased to announce that all of the resolutions put to Shareholders concerning the Placing, the Conversion and the Open Offer (as announced on 29 March 2018) at the Company's Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders held today were duly passed.

Accordingly, the Company has now completed the issuance of 1,279,049,295 First Tranche Placing Shares at the Placing Price, raising gross proceeds of US$18,162,500, and the issuance of 3,156,907,940 Conversion Shares.

As noted in the Company's 29 March 2018 announcement, the Board intends to launch shortly an open offer to all Shareholders at the Placing Price of up to the pound sterling equivalent of EUR5.0 million. Further information on the Open Offer will be made available in due course.

Trading Update

The Company is pleased to also announce it has entered into a Phase 1 agreement for an initial deployment of RM2 ELIoT pallets through June 30, 2018 with a Fortune 500 company in North America following a year-long trial with this blue-chip customer's supplier network.

In addition, the Company has also completed a major trial with a North American company and discussions on a large-scale implementation are expected to commence. The Company has also expanded ongoing trials with other major US-based customers.

Total Voting Rights

Application has been made for the First Tranche Placing Shares and the Conversion Shares, accounting for, in aggregate, 4,435,957,235 new Ordinary Shares, to be admitted to trading on AIM, which is expected to become effective on or around 19 April 2018. Following the issue of the First Tranche Placing Shares and the Conversion Shares, the Company's issued share capital is comprised of 4,843,019,891 Ordinary Shares, of which 2,916,334 Ordinary Shares are held by the Company as non-voting treasury stock ("Treasury Shares").

The total number of voting rights in the Company is calculated as the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares, less the Treasury Shares, less the Ordinary Shares not able to be voted on due to restrictions applicable to certain holders as specified in the Company's Articles of Association, which results in a total voting rights figure of 3,237,160,379. Shareholders may use this figure of 3,237,160,379 as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or change their interest in, the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

Unless otherwise defined, capitalised terms in this announcement are as defined in the Company's announcement, and the circular posted to Shareholders, both dated 29 March 2018.
