For Immediate Release

US Litigation Settlement

Tungsten Corporation PLC (AIM: TUNG), a leading provider of digital financial management products and software solutions, announces that it has agreed to pay the amount of USD $1,500,000 (GBP: GBP1,128,000) in full and final settlement of an employment claim made against the Company in the United States that was initiated in early 2020, together with associated legal fees of $513,000 (GBP: GBP386,000). The Company denies the allegations made in relation to this claim but believes that settlement of the claim at this time is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

The payment of the settlement is due within the next 5 weeks, and it will be funded out of Tungsten's existing cash resources. The payment and associated legal fees will be treated as exceptional items.

Whilst we are naturally disappointed with this outcome, we are however pleased to report that the Company's closing net cash position for October 2021 was GBP1.9 million. This is GBP1.1m higher than management expectations due to strong cash collections and cost savings, and an increase of GBP0.9 million compared to October 2020. We continue to keep strong control over the cost base and do not expect to increase our current draw down of GBP2m under the facility.
