Dealings will commence under the ticker "CCS" and the Company's ISIN is GB00BPFJXS57 and its SEDOL is BYX0M86.

On Admission, the Company will have a market capitalisation of approximately £13.6 million, following a successful placing and subscription of approximately £2.0 million before expenses (the "Fundraise").
