In accordance with AIM Rule 17, shareholders are advised that Gemfields has cancelled and de-
listed 55,694,351 ordinary shares of USD0.00001 each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares"), such

to the share buy-back programme which completed on 20 October 2023 (the “Cancellation”). The
Cancellation and de-listing will be complete on 21 December 2023, following completion of

Following Cancellation there will be 1,166,695,130 Ordinary Shares in issue, each share carrying
the right to one vote. No Ordinary Shares remain in treasury. This is also the total voting rights

the Company.
