Further to the approval of Resolution 1 at the GM, the Company is proceeding with the 1 for 500 share consolidation with a record date of 6.00 p.m. (UK time) today. Following implementation of the Consolidation there will be 33,444,375 new ordinary shares of nil par value in issue ("New Ordinary Shares").

Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the admission of the New Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM ("Admission") and to the Johannesburg Stock Exchange for quotation on AltX.  It is expected that Admission will become effective and dealings in the New Ordinary Shares commence at 8.00 a.m. on 16 July 2020. It is further expected that CREST accounts will be credited with New Ordinary Shares on 16 July 2020 and that new holdings statements (where applicable) will be despatched to security holders by no later than 24 July 2020.

Following Admission, the total issued ordinary share capital of the Company will comprise 33,444,375 New Ordinary Shares with voting rights.
