("MXC")

Sale of Castleton Shares

MXC Capital Limited (AIM: MXCP) announces that on 9 April 2018 it sold 660,000 ordinary shares of 2 pence each in the capital of Castleton Technology plc ("Castleton") ("Castleton Shares"), at a price of 75.848 pence per Castleton Share (the "Sale Price") (the "Sale").

Following the Sale, MXC holds 19,361,211 Castleton Shares, representing 24.5% of its issued share capital.

Valuing MXC's pre-Sale holding of 20,021,211 Castleton Shares at the Sale Price and taking into account the proceeds of GBP1.66 million from the recent option exercise as announced on 21 February 2018, this would represent a 3.0x return for MXC on its cost of investment in Castleton.
