Consequently, 4,571,428 Placing Shares and 114,285 Retail Offer Shares (together the "New Ordinary Shares"), totalling 4,685,713 New Ordinary Shares will be issued at the Issue Price subject to the conditions set out in the Launch Announcement.

A separate announcement has been made regarding the results of the Placing.

Capitalised terms not defined in this announcement (this "Announcement") have the meanings given to them in the Retail Offer Launch Announcement.

Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the 114,285 Retail Offer Shares to be admitted to trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange ("Admission").

Admission is expected to take place at 8.00 a.m. on 25 November 2024 and dealings in the Retail Offer Shares are expected to commence at 8.00 a.m. on 25 November 2024.

The Retail Offer Shares, when issued, will be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the Existing Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after the date of issue.

Following the issue of the New Ordinary Shares, the Company will have 46,552,085 Ordinary Shares of 10 pence each in issue.
