On October 8, 2026, Biodexa Pharmaceuticals PLC (the “Company”) announced a ratio change of its American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) from one (1) ADS representing fifty (50) of its ordinary shares, to a new ratio of one (1) ADS representing four hundred (400) ordinary shares (the “Ratio Change”). The effective date of the Ratio Change is expected to be on or about October 26, 2026.

Pursuant to the Ratio Change, ADS holders will be required on a mandatory basis to surrender their ADSs for cancellation and exchange to receive one (1) new ADS (New CUSIP: 59564R864) for every eight (8) old ADSs (Old CUSIP: 59564R872). No fractional ADSs will be allocated. The aggregate fractions, if any, will be sold and the net proceeds will be distributed to the entitled ADS holder. The Company's Depositary, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. will contact ADS holders and arrange for the exchange of their existing ADSs for new ADSs.

For ADS holders, the Ratio Change will have the same effect as a one-for-eight reverse ADS split. The ordinary shares of the Company will not be affected by this change.

The information in this Report on Form 6-K shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into the registration statements on Form S-8 (File No. 333-209365) and Form F-3 (File No. 333-290554) of the Company (including any prospectuses forming a part of such registration statements) and to be a part thereof from the date on which this report is filed, to the extent not superseded by documents or reports subsequently filed or furnished.
