The total number of proxy votes received were 37,033,261. Votes withheld are not votes in law and so have not been included in the calculation of the proportion of votes for and against a resolution. There were no votes received giving discretion to the Chairman.

The passing of the Resolutions is one of the conditions to completion of the Fundraising, and as a result of the votes cast in their favour, that particular condition has been satisfied. Completion of the Fundraising remains conditional upon Admission, which is expected to occur on 26 June 2024.

Admission and Total Voting Rights

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for admission of the 34,019,007 New Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective and dealings in the New Ordinary Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 26 June 2024.

Following the Admission, the Company's issued ordinary share capital will comprise 85,515,091 Ordinary Shares, of which 2,561,394 are held in treasury. Therefore, the number of Total Voting Rights in the Company will be 82,953,697, and this figure may be used by Shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the voting rights of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
