Admission, Settlement and Dealings

It is expected that Admission of the 1,358,025 Placing Shares and the 617,283 Consideration Shares to AIM ("Admission") will occur and that dealings will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 29 October 2024. The Placing Shares and the Consideration Shares will rank pari passu with the Existing Ordinary Shares.

Together, the Placing Shares and Consideration Shares total 1,975,308 new Ordinary Shares, equivalent to 8.4 per cent. of the Company's enlarged issued share capital.

Related Party Transaction

Octopus Investments ("Octopus"), Dowgate Capital ("Dowgate") and Harwood Capital ("Harwood") are substantial shareholders in the Company (as defined in the AIM Rules) and have acquired 425,000, 205,500 and 450,000 Placing Shares at the Placing Price. The participation of Octopus, Dowgate and Harwood constitute related party transactions under rule 13 of the AIM Rules.

Accordingly, the Directors, consider, having consulted with Singer Capital Markets Advisory LLP, acting in its capacity as the Company's Nominated Adviser, that the terms of the participation of Octopus, Dowgate and Harwood in the Placing is fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's Shareholders are concerned.

Total Voting Rights

Following Admission, the Company will have 23,527,069 Ordinary Shares in issue and no ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore, the total voting rights in the Company will be 23,527,069.

This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they may determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or any change to their interest in, the Company under the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority.

Unless otherwise stated, capitalised terms not otherwise defined in the text of this announcement have the same meanings ascribed to them as in the "Acquisition, Proposed Placing & Trading Update" announcement published by the Company on 28 October 2024.

Information to Distributors

The distribution of this Announcement and the offering of the Placing Shares in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. No action has been taken by the Company, Singer Capital Markets, SCM Advisory and/or Dowgate Capital or any of its affiliates that would permit an offering of the Placing Shares or possession or distribution of this Announcement or any other offering or publicity material relating to the Placing Shares in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required.

UK Product Governance Requirements

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within Chapter 3 of the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the "UK Product Governance Rules"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the UK Product Governance Rules) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Placing Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that such Placing Shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in paragraphs 3.5 and 3.6 of COBS; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all permitted distribution channels (the "UK Target Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the UK Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the Placing Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the Placing Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the Placing Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The UK Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Placing. Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the UK Target Market Assessment, Singer Capital Markets, SCM Advisory and Dowgate Capital will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties.

For the avoidance of doubt, the UK Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of COBS 9A and COBS 10A, respectively; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the Placing Shares. Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Placing Shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.
