Mr Bang has sold 1,000,000 Ordinary Shares and Mr Ormondroyd has sold 487,133 Ordinary Shares, each at a price of 86 pence per Ordinary Share, and will retain the balance of the Ordinary Shares, in part to fund the relevant tax and the exercise price.

Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the 2,644,406 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission") and it is expected that Admission will become effective and trading will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 19 December 2022.
The Company advises that, following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will be 159,870,669 Ordinary Shares which includes 1,869,181 Ordinary Shares which are held in treasury. As such the Company's total number of Ordinary Shares with voting rights is 158,001,488.
