Production Guidance

Copper production guidance for FY2026 in the range of 4 500t to 5 100t (FY2025 production: 2 211t) is under review to determine the extent of the impact of the below short-term factors:

  • The seasonal rain at Molefe Mine which continues to hamper ore deliveries to Sable refinery. Extensive damage to road and bridge infrastructure is being addressed. Haulage of the high-grade Cu ore to Sable refinery has been reduced for safety reasons while upgrades to the road infrastructure is undertaken. Expect to return to full capacity during the month of April 2026
  • The implementation of the upgraded mine plan for the Molefe Mine, that will result in a significant increase in sustained mining rates, will impact continued mining operations with a reduced mining rate only during the pre-stripping phase to connect Pit 2 and 3 which is over an expected 9-week period
  • The commissioning and ramp-up of the expanded concentrate dewatering facilities at Roan has suffered a delay of 3 weeks to ensure the safety of the construction teams during heavy down pours. Commissioning of the fully integrated system and ramp-up is expected to commence during April 2026. The new concentrate facility is expected to contribute to an increase in the production of copper cathode at the Sable refinery in excess of 100 tonnes per month

Statement from Leon Coetzer, Chief Executive Officer:

"The first half of FY2026 was a defining period for Jubilee, with the successful completion of the disposal of our South African operations allowing the Company to now fully focus on our significant copper opportunity in Zambia. This transition strengthens the Group's balance sheet, simplifies the business and positions Jubilee to accelerate the delivery of its scalable, integrated copper strategy in Zambia.

Our Zambian operations have demonstrated improved operational progress, with production at the Roan concentrator increasing compared to the first half of 2025 which will further be supported by the soon to be completed concentrate dewatering system. Turning to Pillar 2 of our 3 Pillar strategy in Zambia, operations at the Molefe Mine continue to expand, with strong production during the period and ore successfully delivered to our Sable Refinery at attractive grades. Construction of the first phase on-site upgrade facility remains on track, with development preparations underway following site selection to enhance the proportion of mined ore delivered to Sable.

Importantly, we continue to transition from a processing-led model to a resource-backed mining business. I am particularly excited by the continued development of the Molefe Mine, supported by encouraging recent drilling results confirming the continuity of near-surface oxide mineralisation, which underpins our strategy to secure and define the resources feeding our operations. Further drilling is underway to define the full extent of the mineralised zone, with progress supporting the advancement of a formal resource estimate. This approach anchors our valuation in a defined asset base while supporting low-cost, scalable production growth.

The Large Waste Project further enhances this strategy, offering a substantial, long-life resource with the potential to deploy our proven modular processing solutions. Progressing partnership discussions to advance this project remains a key priority as we look to unlock its full value.

With a strengthened financial position, unencumbered core assets and a clear strategic direction, Jubilee is well positioned to continue delivering operational growth while establishing itself as an integrated copper producer underpinned by a defined and expanding resource base.

We are highly encouraged by the progress to date and the opportunities ahead for the remainder of FY2026 and beyond and will continue to update the market as key milestones are delivered."

Update on South Africa

  • The sale of Jubilee's chrome and PGM operations in South Africa (Disposal) was completed on 31 December 2025 (refer note 7 for more detail). The purchase consideration is receivable as follows:

o Cash consideration of US$25.0 million received as follows:

§ US$19.0 million cash received during the period under review

§ US$6.0 million cash received post the period under review (included in other financial assets - current)

Costs to sell amounted to US$1.3 million

o Deferred consideration receivable of up to US$65.0 million as follows:

  • US$20.6 million included in other financial assets - current; and
  • US$44.4 million included in other financial assets - non-current
  • As part of the Disposal, the purchaser assumed c.US$56.8 million of loans and trade finance, which represents a substantial reduction in gearing and financing cost and will enable Jubilee to better manage its capital structure and financing strategy to support the continuing business in Zambia
  • The cash payments received during and post the period under review, net of costs to sell, have together with existing resources and operating cash flows, been utilised to reduce existing bank facilities by US$10.1 million and to develop and implement Jubilee's copper strategy, more specifically the Molefe Operations, sustaining capital at Roan and Sable, securing ROM ore for Roan and developing the Large Waste Project

Operational and financial overview of South Africa for the six months to 31 December 2025

  • Chrome concentrate production decreased by 17.5% to 804 227t (H1 FY2025: 974 659t) due mainly to the cessation of the OBB chrome ore supply contract at the end of Q4 FY2025 (equivalent to approximately 450 000tpa of chrome concentrate)
  • Chrome revenue decreased by 12.7% to US$99.9 million (H1 FY2025: US$114.5 million) due mainly to a decrease in contracted chrome concentrate sales tonnes of 52.4%
  • Chrome concentrate prices realised increased by 13.8% to US$127/t (H1 FY2025: US$111/t) due mainly to non-contract sales contributing to 63.2% of total chrome concentrate tonnes sold (40.7% in the comparative period)
  • The average chrome CIF price reached US$272/t for H1 FY2026 compared to US$280/t in the comparative period, reaching US$299/t average for January and February 2026
  • Chrome cost per tonne produced increased by 33.7% to US$133/t (H1 FY2025: US$99/t) mainly because of higher ore cost of non-contracted ROM feedstock
  • The chrome margin decreased by 160.0% to a negative margin of 6.9% from a profit margin of 11.4% for the comparative period
  • Chrome EBITDA decreased by 206.6% to a loss of US$14.4 million (H1 FY2025: earnings of US$13.5 million)
  • PGM oz production decreased marginally to 18 259 oz (H1 FY2025: 18 435 oz) in line with a decrease in chrome concentrate production, confirming the interdependency of PGM and chrome concentrate production
  • Despite a decrease in production, PGM revenue increased by 67.8% to US$31.5 million (H1 FY2025: US$18.7 million) mainly due to strong PGM prices during the period under review
  • PGM prices realised increased by 69.5% to US$1 722/oz (H1 FY2025: US$1 016/oz)
  • PGM cost per oz increased by 72.8% to US$1 066/oz (H1 FY2025: US$616/oz) due mainly to the profit share arrangements with ore suppliers

* Cu tonnes produced are recorded in three products:

o Cu in oxide concentrate that is further refined to cathode at Sable Refinery

o Cu in sulphide concentrate which is sold directly into the market

o Cu in the oxide fines which are currently not delivered to Sable Refinery but stockpiled and awaiting the completion of the upgraded concentrate dewatering facility at Roan, scheduled to commence commissioning during April 2026. The oxide fines will be transported to Sable Refinery for further refining

** Includes Cu cathode produced at Sable Refinery and Cu sulphide concentrate produced at Roan and excludes all Cu units in oxide fines stockpiled at Roan

Pillar 1 - Processing of third-party copper feedstock - Roan Concentrator

Roan is on track for throughput of 40 000tpm by end of Q4 FY2026. Production at Roan reached 1 246t of Cu units for H1 FY2026, up 172.8% from H1 FY2025. This excludes the stockpiled Cu oxide fines at Roan. Post the period Jubilee secured further high-grade ROM grading 1.65% Cu to the value of US$1.8 million.

The stockpiled Cu oxide fines (482t of Cu units for H1 FY2026) will be processed and delivered to Sable Refinery upon commissioning of the new dewatering system and will provide additional Cu cathode production during Q4 FY2026.

Pillar 2 - Integrated mine-to-metals business: Sable Refinery and mining operations

Molefe Mine operations continued to perform well despite heavy rains during Q2 FY2026 which caused significant damage to road and bridge infrastructure in the surrounding area.

Operations continue to expand with 181 890t of Cu reef mined during H1 FY2026, of which 9 130t were transported to Sable Refinery at an average Cu grade of 1.84%. The remaining tonnes (already exceeding 2.3Mt) continue to be stockpiled at Molefe Mine for future on-site processing prior to refining at Sable Refinery. Construction of the first phase on-site upgrade facility remains on track. Following site selection, the Company is advancing development preparations to increase the proportion of mined ore delivered to Sable.

The Phase 1 infill drilling programme has confirmed the continuity of near-surface copper oxide mineralisation and consistency of grades, supporting the Molefe Mine's expansion programme and Jubilee's strategy of securing high-quality copper feed sources from owned resources to underpin its growing processing operations in Zambia.

Phase 2 of the expanded Molefe Mine resource drilling is currently under way, targeting the eastern extension to determine the full extent of the mineralised zone. Consistency of grades and thicknesses supports continuity of the mineralised zone and provides a strong foundation for the advancement of a formal resource estimate.

Results continue to demonstrate shallow, copper oxide mineralisation suitable for processing at Jubilee's Sable Refinery with the expansion of the Molefe Mine remaining on track to achieve 8 500tpm of Cu ore delivered to Sable refinery by Q4 FY2026.

Pillar 3 - Processing of surface stockpiles and tailings - Large Waste Project

The Company secured the exclusive rights to the Large Waste Project for a consideration of US$18 million. The next phase payment towards the acquisition of the Large Waste Project in the amount of US$2.6 million was settled post the period under review. The remaining balance of the consideration is US$5.4 million. The approximate, 240 million tonnes of surface material was formed by historical mining activity discarding the overburden rock. Jubilee has been developing separation techniques to pre-classify the surface material to produce a copper containing stream with a copper grade similar to the grade that is traditionally mined as copper reef in the area.

The scale of the project offers the opportunity to implement multiple processing modules. These modular processing units will adopt techniques similar to the development of Jubilee's successful modular chrome units in South Africa. It is estimated that one unit can produce an estimated 2 250tpa of copper units. Initially, it is intended that the modular units will produce saleable upgraded copper units which offers the potential for the project to generate early revenues from the sale of this material.

The successful agreement for the sale of material from the project during FY2025 to the value of US$6.75 million for a total quantity of 10Mt tonnes (4.2% of the total stockpile) demonstrating the inherent value of this exciting project.

The Company has progressed partnership discussions with two preferred counterparties, both established operators in Zambia, in respect of a potential joint venture to advance the Large Waste Project towards copper cathode production. These partnerships are expected to support the efficient development and monetisation of the project. The discussions are anticipated to be concluded by the end of FY2026.

Mufulira Slag Project update

The Company was awarded the tender to process the slag waste dumps, subject to agreeing commercial terms with the owner. At the Mufulira Slag Project, progress has been slower than anticipated following a recent change in the counterparty's ownership structure. The Company continues to pursue constructive engagement to advance discussions and unlock the project's broader community and economic benefits.

Financial overview

Exchange rates and their impact on results

Jubilee subsidiaries are incorporated in multiple jurisdictions including South Africa (ZAR), Zambia (ZMW), Mauritius (US$), the United Kingdom (£/GBP) and Australia (AUD). The Group's operating subsidiaries are in Zambia where revenue is invoiced in US$ and recorded in ZMW. Costs incurred in Zambia are in both ZMW and US$. The functional currency for Zambia is ZMW, while the Group's reporting currency is United States Dollars (US$).

Period-on-period changes in the currency rates, respectively, must be considered when comparing period-on-period results. The ZMW strengthened significantly against the US$ resulting in foreign exchange gains on translation of operations and higher period-on-period increases in costs. During the period under review, spot and average exchange rates moved as illustrated below.

Risks and opportunities

Jubilee's operations, together with external factors, expose the business to risks and opportunities that may affect its ability to deliver sustainable value for shareholders and other stakeholders. The Company has systems and processes in place to evaluate, manage and mitigate these risks carefully and proactively and to realise opportunities.

Revenue

Copper revenue increased by 70.5% to US$14.1 million (H1 FY2025 US$8.3 million) driven primarily by a 66.6% increase in realised copper prices and an 8.7% increase in copper production with improved operational performance and a higher proportion of saleable copper units contributing to enhanced revenue conversion and margins.

Cost of production

Copper cost per tonne increased by 35.6% to US$8 062/t (H1 FY2025: US$5 948/t). Cost of production increased by 38.7% to US$11.0 million (H1 FY2025: US$7.9 million). The Zambian Kwacha strengthened against the US$ by 12.3% on average during the period under review accounting for a portion of the increased costs for the period under review. The main components of cost of production are as follows:

  • Electricity costs increased by 16.9% to US$1.1 million (H1 FY2025: US$0.9 million) due mainly to an increase in electricity unit cost of 85.3% from US$8.5 cents/kW to US$15.75 cents/kW during the period under review
  • Salaries and wages increased by 26.7% to US$1.7 million (H1 FY2025: US$1.3 million) due mainly to increased shifts and overtime worked during the period under review
  • Processing costs increased by 105.1% to US$3.4 million (H1 FY2025: US$1.6 million) (contributing to 30.5% of total cost of production). The increase is due mainly to increased cost of acid and reagents (80% increase) as well as increased consumption of acid and reagents required to treat specific ore types during the period under review
  • ROM ore cost increased by 20.8% to US$4.9 million (H1 FY2025: US$4.1 million) (contributing to 44.6% of total cost of production) in line with the increase in copper prices. ROM ore cost furthermore increased as a result of a 126.4% increase in the ROM processed at Roan

Operating costs

Operating expenses increased by 68.5% to US$7.3 million (H1 FY2025: US$4.3 million). The Zambian Kwacha strengthened against the United States Dollar by 12.3% on average during the period under review resulting in higher period-on-period costs. The increase in operating expenses was further due mainly to:

  • An increase in depreciation and amortisation of 26.9% to US$2.9 million (H1 FY2025: US$2.3 million) due mainly to the commencement of depreciation on the Roan concentrator
  • A write off, of historical VAT claims disallowed in the amount of US$1.8 million

Finance cost

Finance cost increased by 55.2% to US$2.9 million (H1 FY2025: US$1.9 million). The increase is due mainly to increased working capital facilities to secure ROM feed.

Loss after tax

Loss after tax from continuing operations increased by 20.8% to US$4.7 million from US$3.9 million due mainly to:

  • A deferred tax charge of US$3.1 million from the prior period as follows:

o US$1.6 million deferred tax charge on the disposal of intangible assets relating directly to the Disposal; and

o deferred tax movements on temporary differences in Zambia in the amount of US$1.1 million resulting from unrealised foreign exchange gains

Capital expenditure

During the period under review, the Group invested US$11.8 million (H1 FY2025: US$7.1 million) in the expansion of its copper operations as follows:

  • US$5.3 million of commissioning and metallurgic testing costs were capitalised during the period under review, in the trialling and testing of the upgraded Roan plant to confirm the commercial readiness of the plant using different types of ore material. During December 2025, the Company concluded a commercial agreement for the supply of copper ore to Roan
  • US$4.5 million paid for the future transfer of a property and a mineral processing license to Sable Zinc Kabwe (Sable), a subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to an agreement with ShamRock Mining Limited. The property and the mineral processing license will be recognised as assets once legal title transfers to Sable
  • US$2.0 million of mine development and mining costs capitalised on the Molefe Mining operations

Cash and debt facilities

The Group had cash and cash equivalents of US$11.5 million (30 June 2025: US$4.6 million) and net debt of US$8.0 million (30 June 2025: US$15.9 million).

Sustainability

During the period under review, the Company strengthened its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance as a core component of its operational strategy and long-term value creation. Operating within Zambia's mining and processing sector, the Company recognises the increasing importance of responsible resource management, stakeholder engagement, and transparent governance in maintaining its social license to operate and meeting both regulatory and international expectations.

The Company recorded a significant improvement in its Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR), achieving a rate of 0.23 for the period under review, compared to 0.65 in the previous reporting period. This notable reduction demonstrates the effectiveness of enhanced safety interventions, increased workforce awareness, and a stronger emphasis on hazard identification and incident prevention. Key initiatives included strengthening safety management systems, conducting regular audits and inspections, and fostering a culture where employees are empowered to report hazards and near misses without hesitation.

Jubilee's operations are highly dependent on a stable and reliable power supply to sustain continuous processing and production activities. Currently, electricity is primarily sourced from the national grid, supplied by a local power utility, which is largely dependent on hydropower generation. While this energy source offers a relatively low-carbon advantage, it is increasingly vulnerable to climate variability, particularly drought conditions that affect water levels and result in load shedding and supply instability. Improving energy efficiency across the Zambian operations remains a critical priority. Implementing energy management systems, optimising processing technologies, and adopting energy-efficient equipment is an attempt to significantly reduce energy intensity and operational costs.

Jubilee aims to reduce the carbon intensity of its operations by 25% across Scope 1 and Scope 2 (GHG) emissions over the next 10 years, using 2025 as the base year. This target will be supported by committed investment and measurable implementation milestones.

With the goal of adopting a structured, community-focused approach that aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and by integrating Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) into our core business strategy, the Company has continued to deliver meaningful socio-economic benefits to host communities while enhancing its ESG performance. Jubilee continues to contribute to sustainable community development through local job creation and skills transfer, investment in water and sanitation infrastructure, support for women empowerment through SME initiatives, and the development of community infrastructure to improve access to essential services and drive inclusive economic growth. In the period under review, key CSR initiatives included:

  • Job creation: promoting local employment through our operations, prioritising hiring from surrounding communities to reduce unemployment, improve household incomes, and support skills development through hands-on work experience
  • Water and sanitation: invested in borehole projects to provide reliable access to clean water, improving community health and resilience, reducing reliance on unsafe sources, and enabling local economic activities, including small-scale farming and business development
  • Women empowerment through SME projects: supported women empowerment by promoting SME initiatives that provide training, financial support, and entrepreneurial opportunities, enabling women to build sustainable businesses, improve household welfare, and strengthen local economies

Infrastructure developments: invested in community infrastructure, including bridges, schools, and health facilities, to improve access to essential services, facilitate trade, and support broader economic and social development

§ The foreign currency translation reserve includes all differences arising from the translation of financial statements of foreign operations. These differences result from using the closing exchange rate at the end of the financial year for the statement of financial position and the average exchange rate during the financial year for statement of comprehensive income.

§ The share-based payment reserve is the value of equity-settled share-based payment transactions. This reserve accounts for the share retention incentives granted, recognised over the vesting period of the related share-based payment awards. The value within this reserve represents the cumulative expense recognised in the financial statements for share-based payments that are settled through equity issuance.

§ Non-controlling interest is the difference between the carrying amount of non-controlling interests and the consideration paid or received for transactions involving non-controlling interests, provided these transactions do not result in a loss of control over the subsidiary.

  • Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations

On 7 August 2025, the Company executed a sale and purchase agreement (SPA), in terms of which One Chrome acquired the Company's chrome and PGM Operations (Disposal). In view of the size of the Disposal Group relative to the size of the Company, the Disposal constituted a fundamental change of business for the Company in accordance with AIM Rule 15 requiring that the Disposal be approved by Jubilee shareholders. The Disposal was approved by shareholders on 28 August 2025.

On Friday 14 November 2025 the Company received unconditional approval for the Disposal from the South African Competition Tribunal. The Disposal was completed on 31 December 2025 and all suspensive conditions to the Disposal were met. The results from the discontinued operations are reported in accordance with IFRS5: Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. The Company is presenting the results of the Disposal in accordance with IFRS 5: Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations (IFRS 5).

In accordance with IFRS 5, the results for the previous financial period which ended on 31 December 2024 (H1 FY2025) are re-presented for the Group statements of comprehensive income as if the Disposal took place in FY2025. As a result, income statements for the Group for both H1 FY2025 and H1 FY2026 financial periods are reported on for continuing operations only with the results from the Disposal Group presented as one line item.

The Group statement of financial position and cash flows for the comparative period (H1 FY2025) are not re-presented. The assets and liabilities of the Disposal Group are presented on separate line items on the face of the Group statements of financial position for the current financial period only (H1 FY2026).

The operating results from the discontinued operations for the 6 months to 31 December 2025 are presented as follows:

The Purchase Consideration will be settled by the Purchaser as follows:

cash payments of US$25 million payable as follows:

¡ an Advance Payment of US$15 million on the Signature Date (received); and

¡ US$10 million no later than two Business Days after the Completion Date (received).

  • Deferred Payments of up to US$50 million are payable as follows:

¡ a minimum deferred payment of US$15 million shall be paid by no later than the first anniversary of the Completion Date; and

¡ further minimum deferred payments of US$10 million shall be made on or before each subsequent anniversary of the Completion Date, until the maximum deferred payments of US$50 million have been settled in full, with the minimum deferred payments determined with reference to the ZAR:US$ exchange rate and quantity of chrome concentrate tonnes. Such minimum deferred payments will be increased by US$5/t for all chrome production exceeding 1.5Mt per annum and by US$70/oz for all PGM production exceeding 36,000 oz per annum. At 1.6Mt of chrome production and 36,000 oz of PGM production the deferred payments could be received in just over 4 years; and

  • a minimum Royalty payment of US$12 million up to a maximum of US$15 million subject to the fulfilment of certain royalty related conditions.
  • Going concern

The Group interim financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Directors have performed an assessment of whether the Group would be able to continue as a going concern for at least twelve months from 31 December 2025.

The Group reported a loss for the period from continuing operations of US$4.7 million (H1 FY2025: loss of US$3.9 million) and a loss from discontinued operations of US$4.5 million (H1 FY2025: profit of US$6.4 million). The group loss for the period was US$9.3 million (H1 FY2025: profit of US$2.5 million). At the period end, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of US$11.5 million (30 June 2025: US$4.6 million) and net debt of US$8.0 million (30 June 2025: US$15.9 million) (refer note 4).

In their assessment, the Group has considered its financial position, expected future performance of its operations, its debt facilities and debt service requirements, its working capital requirements, capital expenditure commitments and projections.

There are certain uncertainties relating to events or conditions that may impact the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. These include:

  • At the period end the Group had banking facilities of US$12.9 million. Of this, the general banking facility with FirstRand Bank in the amount of US$5.5 million was settled post the period under review, leaving only the revolving credit facility with ABSA Bank in Mauritius in the amount of US$7.5 million (refer to note 4 to the financial statements). The ABSA facility was extended to the end of April 2026 when it will be reviewed as part of a debt restructuring exercise for the whole Group
  • The sale of the Company's chrome and PGM operations in South Africa was completed on 31 December 2025 (Closing Date). Included in other financial assets is a deferred receivable of up to US$65 million to be settled over a period of approximately 5 years from the Closing Date (refer note 7 and the Company's circular published on 12 August 2025)

The Group has recognised a deferred receivable of up to US$65 million arising from the disposal of its South African chrome and PGM operations. The amount is contractually payable over an approximate five-year period from the closing date of 31 December 2025. The recoverability and timing of the deferred cash flows are subject to uncertainty, including the financial and operational performance of the Purchaser, prevailing economic conditions and heightened global geopolitical risks, which may adversely affect the Purchaser's ability to meet its obligations as they fall due. To date all contracted receipts have been received on time and no impairment is considered necessary.

In the opinion of the Directors, the Group will be able to continue to meet its obligations as and when they fall due for at least twelve months to 31 December 2026. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and liabilities and related expenses that might be necessary should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern.

Events after the reporting date

9.1 Issue of shares

On 17 March 2026, Jubilee settled the payment of US$1.8 million (£1.3 million) for securing high-grade copper ROM for its Roan operations, through the issuance of 29 761 905 new Jubilee ordinary shares (Shares) at a price of 4.48 pence per Share (a 14.3% premium to the Jubilee closing share price of 9 March 2026).

On the same date, Jubilee further settled the next stage payment towards the acquisition of the Large Waste Project, to the value of US$2.6 million (£1.9 million) through the issuance of 42 989 418 Shares at a price of 4.48 pence per Share (a 14.3% premium to the Jubilee closing share price of 9 March 2026).

9.2 Proposed Capital Reduction and authority to issue shares

On 23 March 2026, the Company announced its proposal to reduce its share premium account (Capital Reduction) to restructure the Company's balance sheet to increase the amount of available distributable reserves available (subject to the protection of creditors).

The Capital Reduction will create distributable reserves to support the Company's ability to make future payments of dividends to its shareholders and undertake potential share buybacks (in each case should circumstances mean it is appropriate or desirable to do so), as well as other corporate purposes of the Company.

The Capital Reduction is conditional upon the passing of a special resolution by the Company's shareholders in addition to approval of the Court. Refer to the announcement made on 23 March 2026 for details of the proposed Capital Reduction.

In addition, the Company is also seeking to renew the standard authority to grant Directors authority to issue shares as granted at the previous 2024 AGM and to dis-apply pre-emption rights. The Company wishes to dis-apply pre-emption rights only to a maximum of 7.5% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company. This is to give flexibility to the Company to issue new warrants, options or shares to support the Company when leveraging investment capital and aligning employees' and stakeholders' interests with shareholders of the Company.
