Total Voting Rights
Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange and it is anticipated that trading of the new Ordinary Shares will commence on AIM at 8:00am on 16 January 2025.
Immediately following the above issue, the Company will have 303,829,684 ordinary shares in issue, each carrying one voting right.
