in all respects with the Company's existing ordinary shares.

Following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will comprise 1,748,083,941 ordinary shares of 0.25 pence each. The Company does not hold any ordinary shares in treasury. Accordingly, the total number of voting rights in the Company following Admission will be 1,748,083,941.

"The Placing provides the Company with additional working capital to support the development and testing activities required to bring our proprietary Bitcoin mining technologies to market.
