GCM also announces the issue of a total of 377,359 new ordinary shares of £0.01 each in the Company ("New Ordinary Shares") to Keith Fulton, for payment of his services as Executive Director of the Company for the period 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023 of £10,000, as part of his director remuneration agreement from June 2019.

On Admission, Keith Fulton will have an interest in 1,400,702 Shares, representing approximately 0.57 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company, as enlarged by the Fee Shares.
