In total the Placing, which was oversubscribed, together with the PDMR Subscription, raised £826,000 in aggregate.

Related Party Transaction
The Subscriptions by each of Youval Rasin, Neil Herbert, Yehoshua Shai Kol and Vassilios Carellas ("Subscribing Directors") constitute related party transactions under AIM Rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies.
Yuval Cohen, the Independent Director for this purpose, having consulted with the Company's Nominated Adviser, considers the Subscriptions by the Subscribing Directors to be fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.
Issue of Equity
30,736 ordinary shares of €0.001 each ("Fee Shares") have been issued, at an issue price of 8.1 pence per share to certain advisors in settlement of fees due of £2,500.
