Coro Energy PLC, the South East Asian renewable energy developer, is pleased to announce an equity fundraising (the "Fundraising") to raise gross proceeds of a minimum of £1.64 million by way of:

  • a placing, by way of accelerated bookbuild (the "Bookbuild"), of the Company's shares by Tennyson Securities ("Tennyson") to institutional investors ("Placing") through the issue of new ordinary shares of 0.5 pence each at a price of 0.5 pence per share ("Issue Price"), (the "Placing Shares"); and
  • a retail offer via the Winterflood Retail Access Platform ("WRAP Platform") to raise approximately £100,000 to enable retail investors as well as current shareholders to participate on the same financial terms as institutional investors in the Placing ("WRAP Retail Offer Shares") ("WRAP Retail Offer"), (the Placing Shares and WRAP Retail Offer Shares, together the "New Shares").

The WRAP Retail Offer will be organised by the Company's broker Hybridan LLP with details to be announced separately on the Company's website.

The Placing will open immediately following the release of this announcement and will close at 5:30 p.m. on 25 July 2025. Institutional investors should contact Tennyson Securities to take part. The result of the Placing is expected to be announced by the Company on 25 July 2025 shortly after 6.00 p.m.

The final number and allocation of the Placing Shares will be determined by Tennyson in consultation with the Company and the result of the Placing will be announced as soon as practical after the closing of the Bookbuild.

The terms and conditions of the Placing are set out in Appendix I at the end of this Announcement.

Background and Use of Proceeds

Vietnam

Today Coro has 6.4MW of operating commercial and industrial ("C&I") rooftop solar capacity in Vietnam with estimated run-rate annual cash flows of approximately US$720,000. The Company is actively working on growing its pipeline of new C&I customers for 2026 which are currently under evaluation and negotiation. Coro intends to build a diversified rooftop solar portfolio in Vietnam focussed on high-margin contracts with credit-worthy C&I customers.

The net proceeds of the Fundraising will provide the Company with funds to continue to develop its pipeline of rooftop solar projects with Mobile World Group ("MWG"). In this respect the Company aims to achieve the following targets by the end of the year:

  • Reach 10MW of aggregate installed rooftop solar capacity in Vietnam generating estimated annual run-rate cash flows of approximately US$1 million;
  • Complete a pilot for advanced battery storage ("BESS") and energy management on four existing MWG sites with its strategic partner Threefold Energy Group; and
  • Conclude current discussions with various lending institutions to establish a credit facility to further grow its rooftop solar portfolio in Vietnam.

The Fundraising is critical to the Company being able to achieve these targets.

Philippines

The Company continues to develop its utility-scale solar and wind projects on the Island of Cebu in the Philippines. As previously announced, the Company has secured two 100MW wind energy service contracts and installed a 130 meter tall meteorological mast which has been collecting bankable data since January 2024. The Company is updating the project economics to include the 18 months of bankable wind data collected so far alongside recent capital cost reductions which include the cost of turbines. In addition, Coro completed a conceptual project design during Q2 2025. Multiple substation alternatives are under review for connection to the grid including the Samboan substation which is approximately 11-17 kilometres away.

The Company has completed a comprehensive pre-feasibility study on a planned solar project in Lagunde (Oslob) which envisages an 80MW ground-mounted solar power plant project on 90 hectares of land which have already been secured by Coro. The Company has submitted a pre-application for the award of a Certificate of Authority and has commenced early discussions with potential off-takers.

Pending the update of project economics at its 200MW wind projects and the successful award of a Certificate of Authority for its 80MW solar project Coro intends to commence a strategic review of its operations in the Philippines.

Duyung PSC

On 10 April 2025, Coro announced the conditional sale by its wholly-owned subsidiary Coro Energy Duyung (Singapore) Pte Ltd ("Coro Duyung") of its entire 15% participating interest ("Participating Interest") in the Duyung PSC to West Natuna Exploration Ltd ("WNEL"), a subsidiary of Conrad Asia Energy Ltd, as set out in the sale agreement dated 10 April 2025 (the "Duyung Agreement"), (the "Duyung Disposal").

The terms of the Duyung Agreement are conditional, inter alia, on: (i) approval from Indonesia's Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources to the transfer by Coro Duyung of its Participating Interest to WNEL having been obtained on or before 31 August 2025 ("Government Approval"); and (ii) the approval of the terms of the Duyung Agreement by shareholders of Coro at a general meeting of the shareholders of Coro to be held on or before 15 May 2025 ("Shareholder Approval").

Shareholder Approval for the Duyung Disposal was obtained on 14 May 2025. Following receipt of Government Approval, which has not yet been received, Coro will be issued 500,000 new ordinary shares at no par value in Conrad Asia Energy Ltd ("Conrad Shares"). The Conrad Shares have a value of approximately US$280,000 based on the AU$0.86 closing share price of Conrad on 23 July 2025.

Admission

The Fundraising is conditional, inter alia, on:

  • the resolutions (to grant the relevant shareholder authorities to issue New Shares) being proposed at a General Meeting of shareholders of the Company to be held at 10.00 a.m. on 14 August 2025 ("General Meeting") ("Resolutions") being duly passed;
  • admission of the New Shares being admitted to trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange ("AIM") ("Admission").

It is anticipated that Admission will become effective and that dealings in the New Shares will commence on AIM at 08:00 on 15 August 2025.

Please note that if the conditions set out above are not met the Fundraising will not proceed and the Company would be at risk of being unable to settle all of its current liabilities with creditors.

General Meeting

The Company will hold the General Meeting at 10.00 a.m. on 14 August 2025 at which the Resolutions will be proposed. A circular ("Circular") with details of the Fundraising is expected to be posted to Shareholders on or before 28 July 2025 and will be made available on the Company's website at www.coroenergyplc.com.

Notice to Distributors

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 Requirements") and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the UK Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Placing Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that the 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 chapter 3 of the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook ("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 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, Tennyson will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties.

EU Product Governance Requirements

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended and as this is applied in the United Kingdom ("MiFID II"); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the "MiFID II Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Placing Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that such securities are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II (the "EU Target Market Assessment"). The Placing Shares are not appropriate for a target market of investors whose objectives include no capital loss. Notwithstanding the EU 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 projection, 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 EU 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 EU Target Market Assessment, Tennyson will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties. For the avoidance of doubt, the EU Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; 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 shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.

The books will open with immediate effect following release of this Announcement. Members of the public are not entitled to participate in the Placing. This Appendix gives details of the terms and conditions of, and the mechanics of participating in, the Placing.

Tennyson 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.

Details of the Placing Agreement and the Placing Shares

Tennyson has entered into the Placing Agreement with the Company under which, on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the Placing Agreement, Tennyson, as agent for and on behalf of the Company, has agreed to use its reasonable endeavours to procure Placees for the Placing Shares at the Issue Price.

Application for admission to trading

It is expected that Admission will take place on 15 August 2025 and that dealings in the Placing Shares on AIM will commence at the same time.

Principal terms of the Placing

  • Tennyson is acting as broker and bookrunner pursuant to the Placing, as agent for and on behalf of the Company.
  • Participation in the Placing is by invitation only and will only be available to persons who may lawfully be, and are, invited by Tennyson to participate. Tennyson and any of its affiliates are entitled to participate in the Placing as principal.
  • The Bookbuild, if successful, will establish the number of Placing Shares which will be included in the Placing. The number of Placing Shares and the aggregate proceeds to be raised through the Placing will be agreed between Tennyson and the Company following completion of the Bookbuild.
  • To bid in the Bookbuild, Placees should communicate their bid by telephone or in writing to their usual sale contact at Tennyson. Each bid should state the number of Placing Shares with the prospective Placee to acquire at the Issue Price. Bids in the Bookbuild may be scaled down by Tennyson on the basis referred to in paragraph 9 below.
  • The Bookbuild is expected to close no later than 5.30p.m. on 25 July 2025, being the day of this Announcement, but may be closed earlier or later, at the absolute discretion of Tennyson. Tennyson may, in agreement with the Company, accept bids that are received after the Bookbuild has closed.
  • Each Placee's allocation will be confirmed to Placees orally, or in writing (which can include email), by Tennyson and a trade confirmation or contract note will be dispatched as soon as possible thereafter, following the close of the Bookbuild. Tennyson's oral or written confirmation will give rise to an irrevocable, legally binding commitment by that Placee, in favour of Tennyson and the Company, under which it agrees to acquire by subscription the number of Placing Shares allocated to it at the Issue Price and otherwise on these Terms and Conditions. Except with the consent of Tennyson, such commitment will not be capable of variation or revocation.
  • The price per Placing Share (the "Issue Price") is fixed at 0.5 pence and is payable to Tennyson (as agent for the Company) by all Placees.
  • Each Placee's allocation and whether such Placee participates in the Placing will be determined by Tennyson in its discretion following consultation with the Company and will be confirmed by Tennyson.
  • Subject to paragraphs 3 and 4 above, Tennyson may choose to accept bids, either in whole or in part, on the basis of allocations determined at its discretion and may scale down any bids for this purpose on such basis as they may determine or be directed. Tennyson reserves the right to scale back the number of Placing Shares to be subscribed by any Placee in the event that the Placing is oversubscribed. Tennyson also reserves the right not to accept offers to subscribe for Placing Shares or to accept such offers in part rather than in whole. The acceptance and, if applicable, scaling back of offers shall be at the absolute discretion of Tennyson.
  • A bid in the Bookbuild will be made on the terms and subject to the conditions in this Appendix and will be legally binding on the Placee on behalf of which it is made and, except with Tennyson's and the Company's consent, will not be capable of variation or revocation after the time in which it is submitted.
  • Any Placees who are existing shareholders of the Company undertake that they shall vote in favour of each of the Resolutions proposed at the General Meeting.
  • Except as required by law or regulation, no press release or other announcement will be made by Tennyson or the Company using the name of any Placee (or its agent), in its capacity as Placee (or agent), other than with such Placee's prior written consent.
  • 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, in each case on the basis explained below under "Registration and settlement".
  • All obligations under the Bookbuild and the Placing will be subject to fulfilment of the conditions referred to below under "Conditions of the Placing" and to the Placing not being terminated on the basis referred to below under "Termination of the Placing".
  • To the fullest extent permissible by law and applicable FCA rules, neither:
  • Tennyson;
  • any of its affiliates, agents, advisers, directors, officers, consultants or employees; nor
  • to the extent not contained within (a) or (b), any person connected with Tennyson as defined in the FSMA ((b) and (c) being together "affiliates" and individually an "affiliate" of Tennyson),

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, Tennyson nor any of its affiliates shall have any liability (including, to the extent permissible by law, any fiduciary duties) in respect of Tennyson's conduct of the Bookbuild or of such alternative method of effecting the Placing as Tennyson and the Company may agree.

Registration and settlement

By participating in the Placing, 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 Tennyson in accordance with either the standing CREST or certificated settlement instructions which they have in place with Tennyson.

Settlement of transactions in the Placing Shares following Admission will take place within the CREST system, subject to certain exceptions. Settlement through CREST will be on a delivery versus payment basis ("DVP") unless otherwise notified by Tennyson and is expected to occur on the date of Admission.

However, in the event of any difficulties or delays in the admission of the Placing Shares to CREST or the use of CREST in relation to the Placing, the Company and Tennyson may agree that the Placing Shares (or any of them) should be issued in certificated form. Tennyson reserves the right to require settlement for any of the Placing Shares, and to deliver any of the Placing Shares to any Placees, by such other means as they deem necessary if delivery or settlement to any Placee is not practicable within the CREST system or would not be consistent with regulatory requirements in the jurisdiction in which a Placee is located.

Interest is chargeable daily on payments not received from Placees on or before the due date in accordance with the arrangements set out above, in respect of either CREST or certificated deliveries, at the rate of 3 percentage points above prevailing base rate of Barclays Bank plc as determined by Tennyson.

Each Placee is deemed to agree that if it does not comply with these obligations, Tennyson may sell any or all of their Placing Shares on their behalf and retain from the proceeds, for the Tennyson's own account and benefit, an amount equal to the aggregate amount owed by the Placee plus any interest due. The relevant Placee will, however, remain liable for any shortfall below the Issue Price and for any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax (together with any interest or penalties) which may arise upon the sale of its Placing Shares on its behalf.

Conditions of the Placing

The obligations of Tennyson under the Placing Agreement are, and the Placing of the Placing Shares is, conditional upon, inter alia:

  • the warranties in the Placing Agreement being true and accurate and not misleading;
  • the Resolutions having been passed without amendment by the required majority at the General Meeting; and
  • Admission having occurred not later than 8.00 a.m. on 15 August 2025 or such later date as the Company and Tennyson may agree, but in any event not later than 8.00 a.m. on the Long Stop Date.

All conditions to the obligations of Tennyson included in the Placing Agreement are together referred to in these Terms and Conditions as the "conditions".

If any of the conditions are not fulfilled or, where permitted, waived in accordance with the Placing Agreement within the stated time periods (or such later time and/or date as the Company and Tennyson may agree), or the Placing Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the Placing (or such part of it as may then remain to be completed) will lapse and the Placee's rights and obligations shall cease and terminate at such time and each Placee agrees that no claim can be made by or on behalf of the Placee (or any person on whose behalf the Placee is acting) in respect thereof.

Tennyson may, in its absolute discretion and upon such terms as it thinks fit, waive fulfilment of certain conditions in the Placing Agreement in whole or in part, or extend the time provided for fulfilment of one or more conditions, save that certain conditions (including as regards the Placing Shares the condition relating to Admission referred to in paragraph (c) above) may not be waived. Any such extension or waiver will not affect Placees' commitments as set out in these Terms and Conditions.

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

Neither Tennyson nor any of its affiliates, agents, advisers, directors, officers or employees nor the Company 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 Placing (or any part thereof) nor for any decision any of them may make as to the satisfaction of any condition or in respect of the Placing generally (or any part thereof) and by participating in the Placing each Placee agrees that any such decision is within the absolute discretion of Tennyson.

Termination of the Placing

Tennyson may, in its absolute discretion, by notice to the Company, terminate the Placing Agreement at any time up to Admission if, inter alia:

  • it comes to the notice of Tennyson that any statement contained in the Placing Documents were untrue, incorrect or misleading at the date of such document in any respect which is considered to be material; or
  • it comes to the notice of Tennyson that any statement contained in any of the Placing Documents has become untrue, incorrect or misleading or any matter has arisen which would, if the Placing were made at that time, constitute an omission therefrom; or
  • it comes to the notice of Tennyson that any of the warranties given by the Company in the Placing Agreement was not at the date of the agreement true and accurate in any respect which is considered to be material; or
  • it comes to the notice of Tennyson that a matter has arisen which is likely to give rise to a claim under any of the indemnities given by the Company in Clause 9 (Indemnities); or
  • any of the Warranties, given by the Company by reference to the circumstances prevailing from time to time has ceased to be true and accurate; or
  • in the opinion of Tennyson there shall have occurred any Material Adverse Change (whether or not foreseeable at the date of this Agreement).

Tennyson may also, after having to the extent practicable in the circumstances consulted with the Company, give notice in writing to the Company prior to Admission to rescind the Placing Agreement in certain circumstances, including where there is a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in London or the outbreak or escalation of hostilities involving the United Kingdom.

By participating in the Bookbuild, each Placee agrees with the Company and Tennyson that the exercise by the Company or Tennyson of any right of termination or any other right or other discretion under the Placing Agreement shall be within the absolute discretion of the Company or Tennyson or for agreement between the Company and Tennyson and that neither the Company nor Tennyson need make any reference to such Placee and that none of the Company, Tennyson nor any of their respective affiliates, agents, advisers, directors, officers or employees shall have any liability to such Placee (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise) whatsoever in connection with any such exercise.

By agreeing with Tennyson as agent of the Company to subscribe for Placing Shares under the Placing, a Placee (and any person acting on a Placee's behalf) will irrevocably acknowledge and confirm and warrant and undertake to, and agree with, each of the Company and Tennyson, in each case as a fundamental term of such Placee's application for Placing Shares and of the Company's obligation to allot and/or issue any Placing Shares to it or at its direction, that its rights and obligations in respect of the Placing (or any part of it) will terminate only in the circumstances described above and under the "Conditions of the Placing" section above and will not be capable of rescission or termination by it in any other circumstances.

Representations, warranties and further terms

36. in order to ensure compliance with the Regulations, Tennyson (for itself and as agent on behalf of the Company) or the Company's registrars may, in their absolute discretion, require verification of its identity. Pending the provision to Tennyson or the Company's registrars, as applicable, of evidence of identity, definitive certificates in respect of the Placing Shares may be retained at Tennyson's absolute discretion or, where appropriate, delivery of the Placing Shares to it in uncertificated form may be delayed at Tennyson's or the Company's registrars', as the case may be, absolute discretion. If within a reasonable time after a request for verification of identity Tennyson (for itself and as agent on behalf of the Company) or the Company's registrars have not received evidence satisfactory to them, either Tennyson and/or the Company may, at its absolute discretion, terminate its commitment in respect of the Placing, in which event the monies payable on acceptance of allotment will, if already paid, be returned without interest to the account of the drawee's bank from which they were originally debited;

  • its commitment to acquire Placing Shares on the Terms and Conditions will continue notwithstanding any amendment that may in future be made to the terms and conditions of the Placing and that Placees will have no right to be consulted or require that their consent be obtained with respect to the Company's or Tennyson's conduct of the Placing;
  • it irrevocably appoints any duly authorised officer of Tennyson as its agent for the purpose of executing and delivering to the Company and/or its registrars any documents on its behalf necessary to enable it to be registered as the holder of any of the Placing Shares which it agrees to acquire upon these Terms and Conditions;
  • the Company, Tennyson and others (including each of their respective affiliates, agents, advisers, directors, officers and employees) will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing representations, warranties, acknowledgements and agreements, which are given to Tennyson on its own behalf and on behalf of the Company and are irrevocable;
  • time is of the essence as regards its obligations under these Terms and Conditions;
  • any document that is to be sent to it in connection with the Placing will be sent at its risk and may be sent to it at any address provided by Tennyson;
  • the Placing Shares will be issued subject to these Terms and Conditions; and
  • these Terms and Conditions and all documents into which these Terms and Conditions are incorporated by reference or of which they otherwise validly form a part and/or any agreements entered into pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and all agreements to acquire Placing Shares pursuant to the Placing will be governed by and construed in accordance with English law and it submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts in relation to any claim, dispute (contractual or otherwise) or matter arising out of or in connection with such contract except that enforcement proceedings in respect of the obligation to make payment for the Placing Shares (together with interest chargeable thereon) may be taken by the Company or Tennyson in any jurisdiction in which the relevant Placee is incorporated or in which any of its securities have a quotation on a recognised stock exchange.

By participating in the Placing, each Placee (and any person acting on such Placee's behalf) agrees to indemnify and hold the Company, Tennyson and each of its 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 these Terms and Conditions or incurred by Tennyson, the Company or any of their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers or employees arising from the performance of the Placee's obligations as set out in these Terms and Conditions, and further agrees that the provisions of these Terms and Conditions 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, directly 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 and neither the Company nor Tennyson shall be responsible for such stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. If this is the case, each Placee should seek its own advice and they should notify Tennyson 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 Tennyson in the event that any of the Company and/or Tennyson have incurred any such liability to such taxes or duties.

The representations, warranties, acknowledgements and undertakings contained in these Terms and Conditions are given to Tennyson for itself and on behalf of the Company and are irrevocable.

Each Placee and any person acting on behalf of the Placee acknowledges that Tennyson does 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.

The provisions of these Terms and Conditions may be varied, waived or modified as regards specific Placees or on a general basis by Tennyson provided always that such variation, waiver or modification is not materially prejudicial to the interests of the Company.

Each Placee and any person acting on behalf of the Placee acknowledges and agrees that Tennyson may (at its absolute discretion) satisfy their obligations to procure Placees by themselves 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 Tennyson, any money held in an account with Tennyson 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 the 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 Tennyson's money in accordance with the client money rules and will be held by it under a banking relationship and not as trustee.
