Guardia Plc announces that it has today raised GBP 40,150 by way of a placing (the "Placing") of 365,000 new ordinary
shares of 1p each ("Ordinary Shares") at an issue price of 11 p per Ordinary Share. The Directors intend to apply the
proceeds of the Placing towards additional working capital.
The new Ordinary Shares issued in the Placing will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing fully paid
