 Proposed Transaction 

Further to the Company's announcement on 9 June 2021 regarding a proposed acquisition of the entire issued share capital of Zoyo Capital Limited ("Zoyo" and the "Acquisition"), the independent directors wish to provide an update on progress.  The Company is finalising its due diligence on Zoyo and negotiating the final terms of the sale and purchase agreement to be entered into between the Company and Zoyo's shareholders. The Company is progressing with the FCA's review of its prospectus and hopes that final eligibility approval and completion of the Acquisition will be concluded in the final quarter of the year.

There can be no certainty that the Acquisition will take place and it remains subject to the completion of a number of workstreams and final eligibility approval by the FCA.

A further announcement will be made in due course.
