Admission and Total Voting Rights
Application has been made for the Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective on or around 16 February 2026.
Following the issue of the 18,750,000 Placing Shares, which, on Admission, will rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares, the total number of Ordinary Shares in issue with voting rights in the Company will be 257,178,525. There are no shares held in treasury.
The above figure of 257,178,525 Ordinary Shares may therefore be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they may determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
