DETAILED INFORMATION

Background

The Second Convertible Security, in the amount of £200,000, was issued to US institutional investor Towards Net Zero, LLC on 7 June 2023 under the terms of an amended Convertible Securities Issuance Deed (the "Deed") details of which were set out in the Company's regulatory news release dated 5 June 2023 (the "June Announcement").

The Convertible is interest free and the original terms of the Deed are set out in the Company's regulatory news release of 30 November 2022 (the "November Announcement").

The First Convertible Security issued under the Deed was for £200,000 and has been fully converted/repaid. The Second Convertible Security issued under the Deed currently has an amount outstanding of £123,000. No further Convertible Securities will be issued under the Deed.

The Deed has now been further amended by a Second Deed of Amendment (the "Second Amendment").

Second Amendment

Under the Second Amendment a number of changes have been made to the Deed, primarily to extend the Maturity Date term of the Second Convertible Security but also to incorporate a number of other changes that are generally more favourable to Sunrise and which are designed to ensure the continuing and orderly operation of the Deed in the current market conditions.

Most importantly, the Maturity Date, being the date any outstanding balance would become convertible, has been extended by 18 months to 7 December 2026. Furthermore, no conversions will be permitted in the next three months unless the trading volume exceeds a certain threshold.

The Deed has also been amended to give the Company the option, exercisable once per month, to make penalty-free repayments up to £10,000 each month.

The conversion pricing formula is set out in the November and June Announcements and the rounding factor referred to therein has been reduced in the Company's favour by a factor of ten when the number being rounded is less than or equal to 0.01pence.

Finally, if a conversion would result in the effective discount to the prevailing market price of the Company's shares being in excess of 25%, the conversion price will be increased by half of such excess.
