Admission, Settlement and Dealings

Application will be made for admission of the 6,889,820 Firm Placing Shares to trading on AIM and it is expected that First Admission will become effective and dealings in the Firm Placing Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 23 June 2026. Immediately following First Admission, the issued share capital of the Company is expected to comprise 82,528,059 Ordinary Shares. Each Ordinary Share has one voting right and no Ordinary Shares are held in treasury. Accordingly, immediately following First Admission, the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 82,528,059. From First Admission, this figure may be used by Shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the Conditional Fundraising Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. Subject to the passing of the Fundraising Resolutions at the General Meeting, it is expected that Second Admission will become effective and dealings in the Conditional Fundraising Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 16 July 2026, at which time it is also expected that the Conditional Fundraising Shares will be enabled for settlement in CREST.
