WeCap plc
AQSE: WCAP
(“WeCap” or the “Company”)
UNAUDITED INTERIM RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025
CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT
I am pleased to present the interim results for WeCap plc (AQSE: WCAP) for the
period from 1 May 2025 to 31 October 2025.
Holdings
WeShop Holdings Limited
WeCap’s primary investment is in WeShop Holdings Limited (“WeShop”).
WeShop is a pioneering social-commerce platform that is transforming retail
through community ownership. Designed to merge shopping, sharing and investing,
WeShop rewards users with equity for their engagement through its proprietary
ShareBack™ programme. This enables users to earn ownership in the company
through everyday purchases and by referring friends who shop via the platform.
With partnerships spanning hundreds of leading retailers and access to over a
billion products, WeShop empowers users to earn shares while discovering and
sharing products they love. By combining e-commerce, social interaction and user
ownership, WeShop is leading a global retail revolution where participation
translates directly into ownership.
Listing on Nasdaq
Post period end, WeShop announced on 14 November 2025 that its Class A ordinary
shares commenced trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol
“WSHP”. This represents a significant milestone for WeShop, and the Board
congratulates the WeShop team and its advisers on this achievement.
WeCap’s holding in WeShop
WeCap’s total investment in WeShop, both direct and indirect, represents 11.8%
of WeShop’s Class A shares, comprised of:
· 806,022 Class A shares held directly; and
· 489,583 Class A shares held indirectly via WeCap’s 23.5% interest in
Community Social Investments Limited (“CSIL”), whose sole asset is 2,083,333
WeShop shares.
Lock-up of WeShop shares
As disclosed in the WeShop prospectus¹, no shareholder holding ordinary shares
prior to the WeShop listing date of 14 November 2025 (“Listing Date”) may
charge, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of any of their ordinary shares
for a period of 365 days from the Listing Date.
Accordingly, WeCap is not permitted to dispose of its WeShop shares until after
the expiry of the lock-up period on 15 November 2026.
Following the expiry of the lock-up, the Company intends to consider either:
· an in-specie distribution of the WeShop shares to WeCap shareholders; or
· the sale of the WeShop shares with proceeds distributed to shareholders.
Any such action will be subject to detailed legal and tax advice closer to the
end of the lock-up period, particularly given the shares are US-listed
securities and potentially material in value relative to each WeCap share.

Discounted Capital Bond (“DCB”)
The Company’s principal liability remains the Discounted Capital Bond, which has
been in place since August 2020. At its maturity on 24 May 2026, the DCB is
expected to amount to £6,965,000.
Due to the lock-up on the WeShop shares, the Company will not be in a position
to repay the DCB at maturity. Accordingly, the Board is actively considering
alternative options to address this liability.
The Company recognises the significance of the DCB and believes that resolving
this liability is key to unlocking value for WeCap shareholders. The Board’s
current priority is to engage constructively with the DCB holder to identify a
solution that maximises shareholder value.
Community Social Investments Limited (“CSIL”)
WeCap’s indirect holding in WeShop is via its 23.5% stake in CSIL, whose sole
asset is 2,083,333 WeShop Class A shares.
The principal shareholders in CSIL are WeCap and the Future Fund. The Company is
in discussions with the Future Fund, other CSIL shareholders and WeShop
regarding the most efficient method of distributing the WeShop shares held by
CSIL to its shareholders. This process requires detailed legal and tax analysis.
Should CSIL proceed with an in-specie distribution of its WeShop shares, WeCap
would then hold, together with its existing direct holding, a total of 1,295,605
WeShop shares, representing 11.8% of WeShop’s Class A shares, held directly.
Bio2pure
Bio2pure has developed proprietary technology to clean polluted waterways, with
a particular focus on developing countries. Bio2Pure established an Indian
subsidiary in 2022 to address significant interest across the Indian
subcontinent. Revenues from its UK business is almost breakeven.
However, further investment is required to continue to support the expansion
into Southeast Asia. WeCap currently owns 10% of the issued share capital of
Bio2pure, and the directors continue to carry this investment as nil value in
the Company’s accounts.
Subscription
Post period end, on 13 November 2025, the Company announced that it had raised
£100,000 before expenses through a subscription for an aggregate of 4,166,667
new ordinary shares of 0.25p each at a price of 2.4 pence per share.
The Subscription Shares were allotted to a combination of new and existing
sophisticated investors.
Financial Review
For the six months ended 31 October 2025, the Company recorded a loss of
£386,527 (2024: loss of £379,203). This includes:
· administrative costs of £121,509 (2024: £133,388);
· revenue of £nil (2024: £nil);
· finance income of £nil (2024: £7,568); and
· finance costs of £264,352 (2024: £235,383), primarily relating to accrued
interest on the Discounted Capital Bond.
As at 31 October 2025, the Company had cash reserves of £1,110 (2024: £11,651).
These have since been strengthened by the Subscription completed post period
end.
The interim financial information for the period ended 31 October 2025 has not
been audited or reviewed by the Company’s auditor, Edwards Veeder (UK) Limited.
Outlook
Looking ahead, the Board remains focused on maximising value from the Company’s
substantial holding in WeShop following its successful Nasdaq listing. While the
lock-up period restricts any disposal of WeShop shares until November 2026, the
Board believes this investment represents a significant long-term opportunity.
In parallel, the Company is actively engaging with stakeholders to determine the
most effective route for distributing value to shareholders once the lock-up
expires, whether through an in-specie distribution or a realisation for cash,
subject to appropriate legal and tax considerations.
In the nearer term, the Board’s priority is to address the Discounted Capital
Bond liability in a manner that unlocks the greatest possible value for
shareholders. Constructive discussions with the DCB holder and other relevant
parties are ongoing.
We are grateful for the support of our shareholders and stakeholders, and we
look forward to keeping you updated on upcoming milestones.
