LONDON, March 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WeShop Holdings Limited (“WeShop” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: WSHP), the world’s first community-owned social commerce platform, today announced that holders of the WeShop Performance Incentive Grants have exercised their grants to purchase the Company’s Class A ordinary shares. 

Since the listing on 14th November 2025, the holders of Performance Incentive Grants have exercised a total of 212,156 grants at $9.64 per share.  These exercises generated aggregate proceeds to the Company of $2,045,184. The proceeds provide additional working capital to support WeShop’s ongoing operations, strategic growth initiatives, and expansion in the United States.  

“Strengthening our balance sheet positions us to execute our strategy more effectively and deliver long-term value to our retailers, customers, and shareholders,” said John Garner, Founder of WeShop. “This investment underscores the confidence we have in our long-term vision and growth trajectory. The additional capital, together with our existing cash-on-hand, enhances our financial flexibility and enables us to pursue strategic opportunities in an increasingly dynamic market environment without the immediate need for external financing.”

The Performance Incentive Grants vested following the achievement of certain valuation milestones, allowing holders to exercise their grants and providing capital directly to the Company. Based on the certain valuation targets that have been achieved, the total number of grants that are vested and available to exercise is approximately $47 million in proceeds. To date, approximately $2.0 million has been exercised. 

Holders of the Performance Incentive Grants remain subject to a blackout period.

The Company has used, and may continue to use, some or all proceeds from the exercise of performance incentive grants for working capital and general corporate purposes.
