Director Participation

David Woolley, David Wilkinson, Emmanuel Clair and Devyani Vaishampayan, each a Director of the Company, have indicated they would be willing to participate in the Firm Subscription at the Issue Price to an aggregate value of approximately £350,000. A further announcement will be made in due course once such dealings have occurred.

Tony Gott, Executive Chairman of Saietta, commented:

"We are pleased to announce that we had support in this fundraising from across our investor base including Saietta board members, the founder of our JV partner in India, all of our largest existing institutional investors, new institutional investors and a number of our pre-IPO retail investors who have supported us for many years.

We suspect these investors all see what the Saietta Board sees - that we now have proven market demand for both of our families of eDrives from a mainstream lightweight vehicle manufacturer in our key target launch market of India, the factory is in place in Delhi and is manufacturing AFT eDrives and the supply chain is up and running.

There's a lot of work left to do to ramp up production in India and the UK but as a Board, we fervently believe that we have the right products with proven market pull, at the right time with the right people to drive this through. We look forward to seeing the first light commercial vehicles powered by Saietta on the roads in India in the first half of 2024 to help clean up the air in Indian megacities."

Background to and reasons for the Fundraising

The Company is undertaking a Fundraising of a minimum of 37,647,059 new Ordinary Shares in aggregate, to raise funds to provide further working capital and to generate the financial resources required to fully capitalise on sales contracts in its pipeline.

History

Saietta set out with the objective of using the Axial Flux Technology motor to deliver class-leading efficiency for electric vehicle drivetrains. The Company was seeking to solve the EV motor efficiency paradox, in which high efficiency motors are expensive, and lower efficiency motors require more batteries which increases vehicle weight and increases cost. The Directors have long believed that the Company's innovative technology has the potential to solve the efficiency paradox, providing a high efficiency, low maintenance, modular motor, that can be sold at a price that is competitive with low efficiency solutions.

On initial admission to trading on AIM in July 2021, Saietta was largely a product development company, with a considerable Research and Development spend, and annual revenues of less than £1 million. Since then, the Company has been working to realise the potential of its technology, developing prototypes into real commercially attractive products.

During the period since initial admission to trading on AIM, the Company has evolved from a supplier solely of electric motors to a supplier of full eDrive systems, having developed power electronics, transmissions, inverters and Vehicle Control Units ("VCUs") that can be sold incorporating their motors. The Company has developed a complementary Radial Flux Technology motor for use in certain lighter-weight vehicles, completed prototyping and testing on both product lines, established a manufacturing facility in Sunderland, entered into a joint venture for supply of products to the Indian market which in turn has built a high-volume production facility in Delhi.

The Company has also, through partnership with leading vehicle OEMs, engineered bespoke solutions for prospective customers and commenced testing in situ to demonstrate the performance benefits of its products.

As a result of this work, the Company is now demonstrably at the point of commercialisation. The Directors believe that the investment in design, engineering and product development, coupled with the intellectual property that protects the Company's market-leading technology, has created a business that is very well placed to capture the opportunity in the high-growth global EV market.

Commercialisation

As announced on 19 October 2023, the Company has now narrowed its focus onto high-volume opportunities with established OEMs in India and the wider Asian region. Since 26 September 2023, the Company has announced that it has been confirmed as the eDrive supplier for two product lines with the same global OEM customer. The Directors believe that these two product lines have the potential to generate over £150 million of revenue for Saietta VNA, the Company's 49 per cent. owned joint venture, over the period to 31 March 2028. The Company is also in advanced discussions on eDrive supply agreements for other product lines with the same OEM, and on the supply of eDrives to another major OEM customer. Further information on the Company's near-term commercial pipeline is set out in a separate paragraph further below.

The Board believes that the increased scale of commercial opportunities from the current sales pipeline presents a unique opportunity for the Company. Whilst the Company has invested heavily in manufacturing capacity in recent years, additional funding will be required to deliver the scale of orders expected by Saietta VNA and Saietta Group in the coming months and years.

Working Capital

On 19 October 2023, the Company announced that it had sufficient working capital into December 2023. Funding is therefore required in the immediate term to provide general working capital for the Company beyond this period.

Given the Company's constrained working capital position, and the Company's narrowed focus on commercialisation and margin, the Directors have taken and are taking various actions to optimise the cost base and improve cash management. Those actions include, but are not limited to, (i) all supplier purchase orders now requiring CEO authority, (ii) a planned re-structuring of the teams at the Saietta sites in Sunderland and Silverstone, (iii) the introduction of a dedicated "continuous product cost down" team, and (iv) the further implementation of the Microsoft Business Central ERP system.

In recent months the Company has also built up a balance of overdue creditors, to help protect its cash position. As described further below, the proceeds of the Fundraising will be used, in part, to pay-down the balance of creditors.

Near-term commercial opportunities and corporate objectives

The Directors believe there are a number of material near-term commercial opportunities for the Company and for Saietta VNA, the Company's joint venture in India. The Directors' confidence in each of these opportunities is derived from advanced conversations that are ongoing with the respective counterparty.

Set out below is the pipeline of material near-term contract opportunities, the status of each, and the Company's milestone targets for March 2024.

Saietta VNA Joint Venture

- Supply of AFT eDrive for initial OEM customer (3-wheel vehicle)

Indicative revenue for Saietta VNA to 31 March 2028: £85 million

Forecast contract commencement date: November 2023 (pilot production commenced)

Status: Purchase order received for pilot production as announced 27 September 2023

- Supply of RFT eDrive for initial OEM customer (3-wheel vehicle)

Indicative revenue for Saietta VNA to 31 March 2028: £71 million

Forecast contract commencement date: March 2024 (pilot production commences)

Status: Purchase order received for pilot production as announced 13 November 2023

- Supply of RFT eDrive for separate OEM customer (2-wheel vehicle)

Indicative revenue for Saietta VNA to 31 March 2028: £92 million

Forecast contract commencement date: January 2025

Target milestone by March 2024: Proof of concept letter from customer

- Supply of AFT eDrive for initial OEM customer (4-wheel vehicle)

Indicative revenue for Saietta VNA to 31 March 2028: £60 million

Forecast contract commencement date: March 2024

Target milestone by March 2024: Initial purchase order from customer

Saietta Group plc

- Contract manufacturing of Electrical Steering Pump

Indicative Group revenue to 31 March 2028: £58 million

Forecast contract commencement date: August 2024

Target milestone by March 2024: Letter of Intent from customer

The Company has also established the following additional objectives, for completion by 31 March 2024:

- Complete the cost rationalisation and Company re-structure exercise;

- Recruit a new full-time Group Chief Financial Officer; and

- Materially progress the monetisation of intellectual property held over the Group's marine products.

Use of proceeds and working capital requirements

The Directors intend that the net proceeds from the Fundraising will be used for the following purposes:

· £3.5 million - General working capital

· £1.0 million - Saietta VNA to be used for:

o Working capital; and

o Capital expenditure

· £1.5 million - Repayment of overdue creditors

The Directors believe that the minimum anticipated net proceeds of the Fundraising of £6.0 million are sufficient to satisfy the Company's working capital requirements through to the end of March 2024. Any additional proceeds receivable from the Bookbuild will be used to provide additional working capital to the Group and to strengthen the Company's joint venture operations in India, where the majority of near term contract wins are expected to be generated from. Proceeds from the Broker Option (if exercised) would likely be applied in a similar manner.

The Directors had forecast that the Company would require funding of at least £11 million in order that the Company would not require further funds in the foreseeable future. The Directors believe that the Company's cash low point will be in November 2024, beyond which time the Company is expected to be cash generative.

Unless there are significant additional proceeds receivable from the Bookbuild and the Broker Option, the Company expects to have an additional capital requirement in H1 2024. However, as described above, the Directors believe that by this time the Company will have secured further contracts with major customers and will be in a stronger position to raise further funds, with clear visibility over its near-term, de-risked commercial pipeline. The Company will explore all available options at this time in order to secure funding on the most favourable terms. The Company is already in initial discussions with new commercial / strategic customers that could provide an element of financing and other options that will be explored may include investment or other financial support from one of its existing OEM relationships, debt financing, or a further equity fundraise.

Current Trading

On 19 October 2023, the Company announced its audited financial results for the year ended 31 March 2023, showing revenue and other income from continuing operations of £5.1 million (2022: £4.3 million), an adjusted EBITDA loss of £14.0 million (2022: £4.4 million loss) and a loss before tax of £28.3 million (2022: £11.1 million). Net assets of the Group as at 31 March 2023 were £29.2 million (31 March 2022: £32.8 million) and the Company's cash position was £7.2 million (31 March 2022: £18.4 million).

The Company intends to announce its unaudited financial results for the six months to 30 September 2023 in late December 2023. Since 30 September 2023, whilst carefully managing its cash and creditor balances, the Company has continued to selectively invest in its product and manufacturing capabilities to ensure that Company can address its commercial opportunities and growing sales pipeline as further described above.

The Company had a cash balance of approximately £700,000 as at the end of October 2023. Notably, the Company has been producing eDrives for AYRO Inc, its initial US customer, since August 2022, and a payment of approximately £386,000 for scheduled product deliveries has recently been received.

As at the date of this Announcement, the Directors are accordingly confident of the Company meeting its revenue and EBITDA expectations for the financial year ending 31 March 2024, as described above.

Management Update

On 6 October 2023, the Company announced that Steve Harrison, Chief Financial Officer, had given notice of his intention to resign as an officer and Director of the Company, remaining in his role for a period of time to ensure a smooth transaction of responsibilities to his replacement.

Following the announcement on 19 October 2023, which stated that David Wilkinson, the Non-Executive Deputy Chairman of the Company and Chair of the Audit Committee, had been appointed as Interim Chief Financial Officer, the terms of Steve Harrison's departure from the Company have now been agreed. Mr Harrison will cease to work in his current role with the Company from 30 November 2023 and will formally resign as a statutory Director of the Company on 1 December 2023.

The Board continues its search for a permanent Chief Financial Officer and will make an announcement in due course once an appointment has been made.

Terms of the Fundraising

The Company is undertaking a Fundraising of a minimum of 37,647,059 new Ordinary Shares, in aggregate, at the Issue Price to raise funds to provide further working capital and to generate the financial resources required to capitalise on the anticipated sales contracts in its pipeline.

The Placing

The Placing will be conducted through an accelerated bookbuild process which will be launched immediately following this Announcement and will be subject to the terms and conditions set out in Appendix II to this Announcement. In addition, the Company has granted a Broker Option to Canaccord Genuity to place up to 8,823,529 new Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price if there is additional demand.

The net proceeds from the Broker Option (if exercised) would provide additional working capital beyond March 2024.

Saietta has today entered into a placing agreement with Canaccord Genuity to act as the sole bookrunner in relation to the Placing and the Broker Option.

The Bookbuild will open with immediate effect following release of this Announcement. The timing of the closing of the Bookbuild, the number of Placing Shares and allocations are at the discretion of the Company and Canaccord Genuity. Canaccord Genuity reserves the right to issue and sell a greater or lesser number of shares through the Placing and to close the Bookbuild without further notice. The final number of Placing Shares to be issued pursuant to the Placing will be agreed by the Company and Canaccord Genuity at the close of the Bookbuild and the results of the Placing will be announced as soon as practicable thereafter.

The Placing is being conducted in two tranches. The Firm Placing will utilise the Company's existing authorities to allot shares and for the disapplication of pre-emption rights granted at the Annual General Meeting held on 27 September 2023, whilst the Conditional Placing will be subject to the approval of Shareholders to allot the Conditional Placing Shares and to disapply pre-emption rights in respect of such allotment at the General Meeting. No element of the Placing is underwritten.

The Firm Placing is anticipated to raise a total of approximately £1.4 million (before expenses). The Firm Placing is conditional upon, inter alia, First Admission becoming effective at 8.00 a.m. on 1 December 2023 (or such later date as the Company and Canaccord Genuity may agree, being not later than 8.00 a.m. on 29 December 2023). The Firm Placing is not conditional on completion of the Conditional Fundraising occurring so there is a possibility that the Firm Placing may complete and the Firm Placing Shares are issued but that the Conditional Fundraising does not complete.

The Conditional Placing is anticipated to raise a minimum of approximately £3.8 million (before expenses). In addition to the passing of the Fundraising Resolution at the General Meeting, the Conditional Placing is conditional upon, inter alia, First Admission becoming effective. In addition, the Conditional Placing is conditional, inter alia, on Second Admission becoming effective at 8.00 a.m. on 19 December 2023 (or such later date as the Company and Canaccord Genuity may agree, being not later than 8.00 a.m. on 29 December 2023).

The Company has today entered into the Placing Agreement with Canaccord Genuity pursuant to which Canaccord Genuity has agreed, as agent of the Company, to use its reasonable endeavours to procure subscribers for the Placing Shares at the Issue Price. The Placing Agreement contains customary indemnities and warranties from the Company in favour of Canaccord Genuity together with provisions which enable Canaccord Genuity to terminate the Placing Agreement in certain circumstances, including circumstances where any of the warranties are found to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect.

The Subscription

Under the Subscription, the Company anticipates raising approximately £1.175 million (before expenses) by way of the subscription of 6,911,765 new Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price.

The Subscription is being conducted in two tranches. The Firm Subscription will utilise the Company's existing authorities to allot shares and for the disapplication of pre-emption rights granted at the Annual General Meeting held on 27 September 2023, whilst the Conditional Subscription will be subject to the approval of Shareholders to allot the Conditional Subscription Shares and to disapply pre-emption rights in respect of such allotment at the General Meeting. No element of the Subscription is underwritten.

The Firm Subscription is anticipated to raise a total of approximately £0.35 million (before expenses). The Firm Subscription is conditional upon, inter alia, First Admission becoming effective at 8.00 a.m. on 1 December 2023 (or such later date as the Company and Canaccord Genuity may agree, being not later than 8.00 a.m. on 29 December 2023). The Firm Subscription is not conditional on completion of the Conditional Fundraising occurring so there is a possibility that the Firm Subscription may complete and the Firm Subscription Shares are issued but that the Conditional Fundraising does not complete.

Each of the following Directors, namely David Woolley, David Wilkinson, Emmanuel Clair and Devyani Vaishampayan are intending to enter into Subscription Letters with the Company to participate in the Firm Subscription and subscribe for, in aggregate, 2,058,824 Firm Subscription Shares at the Issue Price. The Firm Subscription is being satisfied exclusively by Directors of the Company.

The Conditional Subscription is anticipated to raise a total of approximately £0.83 million (before expenses). In addition to the passing of the Fundraising Resolution at the General Meeting, the Conditional Subscription is conditional upon, inter alia, First Admission becoming effective. In addition, the Conditional Subscription is conditional, inter alia, on Second Admission becoming effective at 8.00 a.m. on 19 December 2023 (or such later date as the Company and Canaccord Genuity may agree, being not later than 8.00 a.m. on 29 December 2023).

The Company's joint venture partner, Padmini VNA, which owns 51% of Saietta VNA, is participating in the Conditional Subscription (the "Padmini Subscription"). Padmini has agreed to subscribe for a minimum of £500,000 in the Conditional Subscription, with the Company being able to elect to increase the Padmini Subscription to £1 million if the net proceeds of the Fundraising exceed £6.8 million. As set out in the paragraph headed Use of Proceeds above, based on the net proceeds of the Fundraising being £6 million, approximately £1 million will be allocated as shareholder funding into Saietta VNA. Should the net proceeds of the Fundraising allow it, and the Company elects to take the maximum commitment under the Padmini Subscription, the Board intends to allocate a further £1 million of proceeds to Saietta VNA by the end of March 2024. These funding commitments are consistent with the Company's working capital forecasts and the Company will still have sufficient working capital following the Fundraising until at least the end of March 2024.

The Broker Option

The Company has granted a Broker Option to Canaccord Genuity pursuant to the Placing Agreement in order to enable Canaccord Genuity to deal with any additional demand in the event that requests to participate in the Fundraising are received during the period from the date of the publication of the announcement confirming the close of the Bookbuild until 4.45 p.m. on 12 December 2023 from Relevant Persons (as defined in Appendix II to this Announcement). The primary purpose of the Broker Option is to deal with demand from those investors who did not participate in the Placing. The Broker Option is exercisable by Canaccord Genuity any number of times up to 4.45 p.m. on 12 December 2023.

Any Broker Option Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the Broker Option will be issued on the same terms and conditions as the Placing Shares, which are set out in Appendix II to this Announcement, and will comprise up to 8,823,529 new Ordinary Shares.

The Broker Option may be exercised by Canaccord Genuity in its absolute discretion, but there is no obligation on Canaccord Genuity to exercise the Broker Option or to seek to procure subscribers for any Broker Option Shares from investors pursuant to the Broker Option.

Application will be made to London Stock Exchange for admission to trading of the Firm Fundraising Shares on AIM. It is expected that settlement of any such shares and First Admission will take place no later than 8.00 a.m. on 1 December 2023 and that dealings in the Firm Fundraising Shares on AIM will commence at that time.

Details of the Placing Agreement and the Placing Shares

Canaccord Genuity has today entered into a placing agreement (the "Placing Agreement") with the Company under which, on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the Placing Agreement, Canaccord Genuity, as agent for and on behalf of the Company, has agreed to use its reasonable endeavours to procure Placees for the Placing Shares at 17 pence per Placing Share (the "Issue Price"). The timing of the closing of the book and allocations are at the discretion of the Company and Canaccord Genuity.

The New Ordinary Shares have been or will, when issued, be subject to the articles of association of the Company (the "Articles") and credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid in respect of such Ordinary Shares after the date of issue of the New Ordinary Shares, and will on issue be free of all pre-emption rights, claims, liens, charges, encumbrances and equities.

The Firm Placing (which is not being underwritten) is conditional, amongst other things, upon:

(a) the Placing Agreement becoming unconditional in all respects (save for First Admission) and not having been terminated in accordance with its terms prior to First Admission; and

(b) First Admission becoming effective on or before 8.00 am on 1 December 2023 or such later date as the Company and Canaccord Genuity may agree, being no later than 8.00 am on 29 December 2023.

The Conditional Placing (which is not being underwritten) is conditional, amongst other things, upon:

(a) the Placing Agreement becoming unconditional in all respects (save for Second Admission) and not having been terminated in accordance with its terms prior to Second Admission;

(b) Shareholders passing the Fundraising Resolution to be set out in the Notice of General Meeting granting the directors authority to allot and issue relevant securities (including the Conditional Placing Shares); and

(c) Second Admission becoming effective on or before 8.00 am on 19 December 2023 or such later date as the Company and Canaccord Genuity may agree, being no later than 8.00 am on 29 December 2023.

The Firm Placing Shares are being placed pursuant to existing authorities granted to the Directors while the Conditional Placing Shares are being placed conditional, inter alia, on the passing of the Fundraising Resolution at the General Meeting.

The Placing Shares will rank in full for all dividends with a record date on or after the date of admission to trading on AIM and otherwise equally with the Ordinary Shares in issue from that date.

Bookbuild

Following this Announcement, Canaccord Genuity will today commence the bookbuilding process in respect of the Placing (the "Bookbuild") to determine demand for participation in the Placing by Placees. The book will open with immediate effect. This Appendix gives details of the terms and conditions of, and the mechanics of participation in, the Placing. No commissions will be paid to Placees or by Placees in respect of any Placing Shares. Members of the public are not entitled to participate.

Canaccord Genuity and the Company shall be entitled to effect the Placing by such alternative method to the Bookbuild as they may, in their absolute discretion, determine.

Applications for admission to trading

Application will be made to London Stock Exchange for admission to trading of the Firm Fundraising Shares on AIM ("First Admission"). It is expected that settlement of any such shares and First Admission will take place no later than 8.00 a.m. on 1 December 2023 and that dealings in the Firm Fundraising Shares on AIM will commence at that time.

Subject to the passing of the relevant resolution at the General Meeting, application will be made to London Stock Exchange for admission to trading of the Conditional Fundraising Shares on AIM ("Second Admission"). It is expected that settlement of any such shares and Second Admission will take place no later than 8.00 a.m. on 19 December 2023 and that dealings in the Conditional Fundraising Shares will commence at that time.

Details of the Broker Option

The Company has granted the Broker Option to Canaccord Genuity in order to enable Canaccord Genuity to deal with any additional demand under the Placing in the event that requests to participate in the Placing are received during the period from the publication the announcement confirming the close of the Bookbuild until 16:45 on 12 December 2023 from Relevant Persons. The primary purpose of the Broker Option is to facilitate demand from those Relevant Persons who were unable to participate in the Placing. The Broker Option is exercisable by Canaccord Genuity, at its absolute discretion, any number of times up to that time and date.

Relevant Persons who wish to register their interest in subscribing for Broker Option Shares should instruct their stockbroker or independent financial adviser to communicate their interest to Canaccord Genuity via e-mail at cg-ecm-uk@cgf.com. Each bid should state the number of Broker Option Shares that the investor wishes to acquire at the Issue Price. Any investors allocated Broker Option Shares will be considered Placees, as defined in this Announcement.

To the extent the Broker Option is exercised, the Broker Option Shares will be issued on the same terms and conditions as the Placing Shares, which terms are set out in this Appendix. Orders from investors pursuant to the Broker Option to Canaccord Genuity will only be accepted from Relevant Persons.

The Broker Option may be exercised by Canaccord Genuity in its absolute discretion, but there is no obligation on Canaccord Genuity to exercise the Broker Option or to seek to procure subscribers for any Broker Option Shares pursuant to the Broker Option.

The maximum number of Broker Option Shares which may be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Broker Option is 8,823,529 new Ordinary Shares.

Principal terms of the Placing

1. Canaccord Genuity is acting as placing agent and broker in connection with the Placing, as agent for and on behalf of the Company. Canaccord Genuity is authorised and regulated in the United Kingdom by the FCA and is acting exclusively for the Company and no one else in connection with the matters referred to in this Announcement and will not be responsible to anyone other than the Company for providing the protections afforded to the customers of Canaccord Genuity or for providing advice in relation to the matters described in this Announcement.

2. Participation in the Placing will only be available to persons who may lawfully be, and are invited by Canaccord Genuity to participate. Canaccord Genuity and any of its respective affiliates are entitled to participate in the Placing as principal.

3. The price per Placing Share is 17 pence and is payable to Canaccord Genuity as agent of the Company by all Placees. The number of Placing Shares to be issued will be agreed between Canaccord Genuity and the Company following completion of the Bookbuild. The number of Placing Shares will be announced on a Regulatory Information Service following the completion of the Bookbuild.

4. Each prospective Placee's allocation is determined by Canaccord Genuity in its discretion following consultation with the Company and will be confirmed orally by Canaccord Genuity and a form of confirmation will be dispatched as soon as possible thereafter. That oral confirmation will constitute an irrevocable, legally binding commitment by that person (who will at that point become a Placee), in favour of Canaccord Genuity and the Company, under which it agrees to acquire the number of Placing Shares allocated to the Placee at the Issue Price and otherwise on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in this Appendix and in accordance with the Articles. Except with the prior written consent of the Canaccord Genuity, such commitment will not be capable of variation or revocation at the time at which it is submitted.

5. Each Placee's allocation (including, if the Broker Option is exercised at that time, any Broker Option Shares) and commitment will be evidenced by a form of confirmation issued to such Placee by Canaccord Genuity. The terms of this Appendix will be deemed incorporated in that form of confirmation.

6. Each Placee will have an immediate, separate, irrevocable and binding obligation, owed to Canaccord Genuity as agent for the Company, to pay to them (or as they may direct) in cleared funds an amount equal to the product of the Issue Price and the number of Placing Shares such Placee has agreed to acquire.

7. Canaccord Genuity may choose to accept or reject bids, either in whole or in part, on the basis of allocations determined in agreement with the Company and may scale down any bids for this purpose on such basis as they may determine. Canaccord Genuity may also, notwithstanding paragraphs 4 and 5 above and subject to prior consent of the Company (i) allocate Placing Shares after the time of any initial allocation to any person submitting a bid after that time and (ii) allocate Placing Shares after the Bookbuild has closed to any person submitting a bid after that time. The Company reserves the right (upon agreement with Canaccord Genuity) to reduce or seek to increase the amount to be raised pursuant to the Placing, in its absolute discretion.

8. Irrespective of the time at which a Placee's allocation(s) pursuant to the Placing is/are confirmed, settlement for all Placing Shares to be acquired pursuant to the Placing will be required to be made at the same time, on the basis explained below under "Registration and Settlement".

9. All obligations of Canaccord Genuity under the Fundraising will be subject to fulfilment or (where applicable) waiver of the conditions referred to below under "Conditions of the Fundraising" and to the Placing not being terminated on the basis referred to below under "Termination of the Fundraising".

10. By participating in the Fundraising, each Placee will agree that its rights and obligations in respect of the Fundraising will terminate only in the circumstances described below and will not be capable of rescission or termination by the Placee.

11. To the fullest extent permissible by law and applicable FCA rules, none of (a) Canaccord Genuity, (b) any of its affiliates, agents, directors, officers, consultants, (c) to the extent not contained within (a) or (b), any person connected with Canaccord Genuity as defined in the FSMA ((b) and (c) being together "affiliates" and individually an "affiliate" of Canaccord Genuity), (d) any person acting on behalf of Canaccord Genuity, shall have any liability (including to the extent permissible by law, any fiduciary duties) to Placees or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise. In particular, neither of the Canaccord Genuity nor any of their respective affiliates shall have any liability (including, to the extent permissible by law, any fiduciary duties) in respect of their conduct of the Fundraising or of such alternative method of effecting the Fundraising as Canaccord Genuity and the Company may agree.

Registration and Settlement

If Placees are allocated any New Ordinary Shares in the Fundraising they will be sent a form of confirmation or electronic confirmation by Canaccord Genuity, as soon as it is able which will confirm the number of New Ordinary Shares allocated to them, the Issue Price and the aggregate amount owed by them to Canaccord Genuity.

Each Placee will be deemed to agree that it will do all things necessary to ensure that delivery and payment is completed as directed by Canaccord Genuity in accordance with either the standing CREST or certificated settlement instructions which they have in place with Canaccord Genuity.

Settlement of transactions in the New Ordinary Shares (ISIN: GB00BNDM6X87) following First Admission and Second Admission will take place within the CREST system, subject to certain exceptions.

It is expected that settlement of the Firm Placing Shares through CREST will take place on 1 December 2023 unless otherwise notified by the Canaccord Genuity and First Admission is expected to occur no later than 8.00 a.m. on 1 December 2023 unless otherwise notified by Canaccord Genuity. It is expected that settlement of the Conditional Placing Shares and any Broker Option Shares through CREST will take place on 19 December 2023 unless otherwise notified by the Canaccord Genuity and Second Admission is expected to occur no later than 8.00 a.m. on 19 December 2023 unless otherwise notified by Canaccord Genuity.

Settlement will be on a delivery versus payment basis. However, in the event of any difficulties or delays in the admission of the New Ordinary Shares to CREST or the use of CREST in relation to the Fundraising, the Company and Canaccord Genuity may agree that the New Ordinary Shares should be issued in certificated form. Canaccord Genuity reserves the right to require settlement of the New Ordinary Shares, and to deliver the New Ordinary Shares to Placees, by such other means as they deem necessary if delivery or settlement to Placees is not possible or practicable within the CREST system or would not be consistent with regulatory requirements in a Placee's jurisdiction.

Interest is chargeable daily on payments not received from Placees on the due date in accordance with the arrangements set out above, in respect of either CREST or certificated deliveries, at the rate of 2 percentage points above prevailing Sterling Overnight Index Average (SONIA) as determined by Canaccord Genuity.

Each Placee agrees that if it does not comply with these obligations, Canaccord Genuity may sell, charge by way of security (to any funder of Canaccord Genuity) or otherwise deal with any or all of their Placing Shares (or if exercised, any Broker Option Shares) on their behalf and retain from the proceeds, for either the Broker's own accounts and benefit, an amount equal to the aggregate amount owed by the Placee plus any interest due and any costs and expenses properly incurred by Canaccord Genuity as a result of the Placee's failure to comply with its obligations. The relevant Placee will, however, remain liable for any shortfall below the amount owed by it and for any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax or similar taxes (together with any interest, fines or penalties relating thereto) which may arise upon the sale of their Placing Shares (or if exercised, any Broker Option Shares) on their behalf. Legal and/or beneficial title in and to any Placing Shares shall not pass to the relevant Placee until such time as it has fully complied with its obligations hereunder. By communicating a bid for Placing Shares, each Placee confers on Canaccord Genuity all such authorities and powers necessary to carry out any such sale and agrees to ratify and confirm all actions which Canaccord Genuity lawfully takes in pursuance of such sale.

If Placing Shares (or if exercised, any Broker Option Shares) are to be delivered to a custodian or settlement agent, Placees must ensure that, upon receipt, the conditional form of confirmation is copied and delivered immediately to the relevant person within that organisation. Insofar as Placing Shares (or if exercised, any Broker Option Shares) are registered in a Placee's name or that of its nominee or in the name of any person for whom a Placee is contracting as agent or that of a nominee for such person, such Placing Shares (or if exercised, any Broker Option Shares) should, subject as provided below, be so registered free from any liability to United Kingdom stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. If there are any circumstances in which any other stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax or other similar taxes (and/or any interest, fines or penalties relating thereto) is payable in respect of the allocation, allotment, issue or delivery of the Placing Shares (or if exercised, any Broker Option Shares) (or for the avoidance of doubt if any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax is payable in connection with any subsequent transfer of or agreement to transfer Placing Shares (or if exercised, any Broker Option Shares)), neither Canaccord Genuity nor the Company shall be responsible for the payment of such amounts. Placees will not be entitled to receive any fee or commission in connection with the Fundraising.

(all conditions to the obligations of the Canaccord Genuity included in the Placing Agreement being together, the "conditions").

By participating in the Fundraising, each Placee agrees that its rights and obligations cease and terminate only in the circumstances described above and under "Termination of the Fundraising" below and will not be capable of rescission or termination by it.

Certain conditions may be waived in whole or in part by Canaccord Genuity, in their absolute discretion, by notice in writing to the Company and Canaccord Genuity may also agree in writing with the Company to extend the time for satisfaction of any condition. Any such extension or waiver will not affect Placees' commitments as set out in this Announcement.

Canaccord Genuity may terminate the Placing Agreement in certain circumstances, details of which are set out below.

Neither Canaccord Genuity, the Company nor any of their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers or employees shall have any liability to any Placee (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise) in respect of any decision any of them may make as to whether or not to waive or to extend the time and/or date for the satisfaction of any condition to the Fundraising nor for any decision any of them may make as to the satisfaction of any condition or in respect of the Fundraising generally and by participating in the Fundraising each Placee agrees that any such decision is within the absolute discretion of Canaccord Genuity.

For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Placing nor the Subscription are conditional upon the exercise of the Broker Option.

13. the Company has failed or is unable to comply with its obligations under the Placing Agreement in any material respect;

14. any statement contained in the Placing Documents is or has become or has been discovered to be untrue or inaccurate or misleading, or any matter has arisen which would, if any of the Placing Documents were to be issued at that time, constitute an omission therefrom and which, in any such case, is material in the context of the Fundraising and/or Admission;

60. the Company, Canaccord Genuity and others (including each of their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers or employees) will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing representations, warranties, acknowledgements and agreements, which are given to Canaccord Genuity and the Company and are irrevocable.

By participating in the Placing, each Placee (and any person acting on such Placee's behalf) agrees to indemnify and hold the Company, Canaccord Genuity and each of their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers and employees harmless from any and all costs, claims, liabilities and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) arising out of or in connection with any breach of the representations, warranties, acknowledgements, agreements and undertakings given by the Placee (and any person acting on such Placee's behalf) in this Appendix or incurred by the Company, Canaccord Genuity or each of their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers or employees arising from the performance of the Placee's obligations as set out in this Announcement, and further agrees that the provisions of this Appendix shall survive after the completion of the Placing.

The agreement to allot and issue Placing Shares to Placees (or the persons for whom Placees are contracting as agent) free of stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax in the United Kingdom relates only to their allotment and issue to Placees, or such persons as they nominate as their agents, direct by the Company. Such agreement assumes that the Placing Shares are not being acquired in connection with arrangements to issue depositary receipts or to transfer the Placing Shares into a clearance service. If there are any such arrangements, or the settlement related to any other dealings in the Placing Shares, stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax may be payable. In that event, the Placee agrees that it shall be responsible for such stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax or similar tax and none of the Company or Canaccord Genuity shall be responsible for such stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax or similar tax. If this is the case, each Placee should seek its own advice and they should notify Canaccord Genuity accordingly. In addition, Placees should note that they will be liable for any capital duty, stamp duty and all other stamp, issue, securities, transfer, registration, documentary or other duties or taxes (including any interest, fines or penalties relating thereto) payable outside the United Kingdom by them or any other person on the acquisition by them of any Placing Shares or the agreement by them to acquire any Placing Shares and each Placee, or the Placee's nominee, in respect of whom (or in respect of the person for whom it is participating in the Placing as an agent or nominee) the allocation, allotment, issue or delivery of Placing Shares has given rise to such non-United Kingdom stamp, registration, documentary, transfer or similar taxes or duties undertakes to pay such taxes and duties, including any interest and penalties (if applicable), forthwith and to indemnify on an after-tax basis and to hold harmless the Company and Canaccord Genuity in the event that any of the Company and/or Canaccord Genuity has incurred any such liability to such taxes or duties.

The representations, warranties, acknowledgements, agreements and undertakings contained in this Appendix are given to Canaccord Genuity and the Company and are irrevocable.

Each Placee and any person acting on behalf of the Placee acknowledges that Canaccord Genuity do not owe any fiduciary or other duties to any Placee in respect of any representations, warranties, undertakings, acknowledgements, agreements or indemnities in the Placing Agreement.

Each Placee and any person acting on behalf of the Placee acknowledges and agrees that Canaccord Genuity may (at their absolute discretion) satisfy their obligations to procure Placees by itself agreeing to become a Placee in respect of some or all of the Placing Shares or by nominating any connected or associated person to do so.

When a Placee or any person acting on behalf of the Placee is dealing with Canaccord Genuity, any money held in an account with Canaccord Genuity on behalf of the Placee and/or any person acting on behalf of the Placee will not be treated as client money within the meaning of the relevant rules and regulations of the FCA made under FSMA. Each Placee acknowledges that the money will not be subject to the protections conferred by the client money rules; as a consequence this money will not be segregated from Canaccord Genuity' money (as applicable) in accordance with the client money rules and will be held by it under a banking relationship and not as trustee.
