NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WeShop Holdings Limited (“WeShop” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: WSHP), the community-owned shopping app on a mission to make shopping more rewarding, today announced that eligible UK members participating in the WeShop ShareBack^™ Rewards Plan (the “ShareBack Plan”) will be able to begin claiming the Company’s Class A ordinary shares on November 23, marking one year since WeShop’s Nasdaq listing.

Members earn WePoints every time they shop with WeShop's retail partners. Under the ShareBack Plan, eligible members can now turn those WePoints into the Company’s Class A ordinary shares. Everyday shopping can now build ownership in the business members help grow, not just a conventional loyalty reward.

WeShop’s listing on the Nasdaq in November 2025 made the community ownership model a reality, giving members a path from points they earn from shopping to an equity stake in the platform they help build.

“In November 2025, we listed on Nasdaq so our community could own a piece of WeShop. Now we are delivering on that promise,” said Maria Weaver, CEO of WeShop. “Our members built this company with every purchase, and opening share claims puts ownership in their hands. We invite every eligible UK member to verify their identity in the app starting November 3, so they are ready on November 23.”

How to Claim Your Shares

Eligible UK members should take the following steps:

Verify (from November 3)
1. Open the WeShop app and follow the prompts to verify your identity through Yoti, a secure digital identity service used worldwide.
Claim (from November 23)
1. Once verified, request to redeem your WePoints for Class A ordinary shares in the app.
Meet the deadline (December 21)
1. Submit your request by 5 p.m. ET / 10 p.m. UK time on December 21. WeShop will work with its transfer agent, Computershare, to deposit shares into members' accounts by January 12, 2027.

Share redemption is subject to eligibility requirements and the terms of the ShareBack Plan.
