Details of the Placing and total voting rights

A total of 1,434,091 Placing Shares are to be issued at a price of 15 pence per share. The Placing has been conducted utilising the Company's existing share authorities granted at the Annual General Meeting of the Company held on 14 July 2021. Peterhouse Capital Limited acted as the Company's broker in connection with the Placing. Allenby Capital Limited acted as the Company's nominated adviser in connection with the Placing.  The Placing is conditional, inter alia, on admission of the Placing Shares to trading on AIM ("Admission") becoming effective.

The net proceeds of the Placing will be used by the Company in order to be able to continue to support the Strategic Investments of the Company in their development and, if appropriate, for new investments and for working capital generally.

Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that Admission will become effective and that dealings in the Placing Shares on AIM will commence on or around 11 April 2022.

On Admission, the Company's issued ordinary share capital will consist of 53,674,431 ordinary shares of 2 pence each, with one vote per share. The Company does not hold any ordinary shares in treasury.  Therefore, on Admission, the total number of ordinary shares and voting rights in the Company will be 53,674,431.  With effect from Admission, this figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
