Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange plc for 9,485,828 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on the AIM market with admission expected to occur on or around 6 December 2019. The new Ordinary Shares rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares including the right to receive any dividend or other distribution thereafter declared, made or paid.  There are no Ordinary Shares held in treasury.

The Subscription is therefore classified as a related party transaction for the purposes of Rule 13 of the AIM Rules. Tom Bowens, Brian Savage and Ljupco Naumovski, being the independent directors for the purposes of Rule 13, consider, having consulted with the Company's Nominated Adviser, SP Angel Corporate Finance LLP, that the terms of the related party transaction are fair and reasonable insofar as the shareholders of the Company are concerned.

The proceeds of the subscription will be used for working capital.
