Further to previous announcements regarding the proposed reverse take-over of medicinal cannabis company Kanabo Research Ltd ("Kanabo") (the "RTO" or the "Proposed Acquisition"), Spinnaker is pleased to announce today that the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") has approved its prospectus to be issued in connection with:

· the terms of the Proposed Acquisition, pursuant to which the consideration will be satisfied by the issue and allotment of 230,769,210 Ordinary Shares of 2.5 pence each ("Ordinary Shares") to the shareholders of Kanabo at a price of 6.5 pence each.

 

· the placing and subscription of a total of 92,307,693 Ordinary Shares at a price of 6.5 pence each, raising gross proceeds of £6,000,000.

 

· proposed re-admission of the enlarged share capital of 360,229,328 Ordinary Shares to the standard listing segment of the Official List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market ("Admission").  The Company has published the Prospectus and intend to re-apply for Admission as the transaction constitutes a reverse takeover under the Listing Rules of the FCA.

 

· the proposed appointment of existing directors of Kanabo as directors of the Company, Avihu Tamir as Chief Executive Officer, David Tsur as Non-Executive Chairman and Uziel Danino as Non-Executive Director, and to accept the resignation of Tony Harpur and Alan Hume as directors of the Company with effect from completion of the Transaction (which is subject to and conditional upon completion of the Proposed Acquisition and Admission). Andy Morrison will continue to serve on the board as Non-Executive Director.

 

· a proposal to change the name of Spinnaker Opportunities Plc to Kanabo Group plc, following Completion and Admission. 

 

· the Prospectus includes a notice of a general meeting to be held the offices of Hill Dickinson LLP at The Broadgate Tower, 20 Primrose Street, London EC2A 2EW on 15 February 2021 at 10.00 a.m (the "General Meeting") to approve certain resolutions required to, amongst other things, give effect to the Proposed Acquisition and Fundraising.  The resolutions include the Rule 9 Waiver required to be approved by Independent Shareholders voting on a poll.

 

Kanabo CEO, Avihu Tamir, said:  "I believe the UK and Europe are ready to embrace the benefits of medicinal cannabis and the overwhelming support and interest from investors has proved this. The roadshow was oversubscribed and this will help the company grow and create value faster than previously expected."

Spinnaker Chairman, Andy Morrison commented: "We are obviously delighted to see this process enter its closing stages and we very much look forward to writing the next exciting chapter in the history of the Company as a medicinal cannabis business. We have been very pleased to see the commitment expressed by both existing and new investors to the journey ahead."

 

Availability of the Prospectus

The Prospectus will be made available shortly online at http://www.spinnakeropportunities.uk/ 

(subject to applicable securities laws). An electronic copy of the Prospectus will also be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and should be available shortly for inspection at  http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.

 

General Meeting

Notice of General Meeting of the Company to be held at the offices of Hill Dickinson LLP at The Broadgate Tower, 20 Primrose Street, London EC2A 2EW on 15 February 2021 at 10.00 a.m., has today been posted to Shareholders, together with a copy of the Prospectus.

Completion of the Acquisition is conditional upon the approval of all resolutions to be tabled at the General Meeting. The resolutions include the Rule 9 Waiver to be approved by Independent Shareholders voting on a poll. It is expected that Admission will become effective and that dealings will commence at 8.00 am on 16 February 2021.

As a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting social distancing guidelines, the Board has taken the decision to implement the following measures in respect of the General Meeting:

· Other than the minimum number of Shareholders required to constitute a quorum either in person or by proxy, Shareholders will not be permitted to attend the General Meeting, and if they attempt to do so, will be refused entry to the meeting.

· Shareholders can submit questions to the Board in advance of the General Meeting by emailing Andy.Morrison@spinnakermanagement.co.uk by no later than 10:00 a.m. on 11 February 2021. Please include your full name (as it appears on the share register) when submitting any questions. Questions received will be considered and answered either ahead of, or at the General Meeting, as appropriate. No questions will be answered by the Company where: (a) to do so would interfere unduly with the preparation for the meeting or involve the disclosure of confidential information; (b) the answer has already been given on a website in the form of an answer to a question; or (c) it is undesirable in the interests of the Company or the good order of the meeting that the question be answered.

· Voting at the General Meeting will be carried out by way of poll so that votes cast in advance and the votes of all Shareholders appointing the Chairman of the General Meeting as their proxy can be taken into account.

 

As usual, the results of the General Meeting will be announced as soon as practicable after it has taken place.

Website giving information regarding the meeting

2. Information regarding the meeting, including the information required by section 311A of the Companies Act 2006, can be found at: http://www.spinnakeropportunities.uk/.

Attending in person

3. Following the UK government's announcement on 4 January 2021 of new restrictive measures in connection with COVID-19 and, in particular, the restrictions on non-essential travel and on meeting people in public the Company anticipates that these measures will restrict the ability of Shareholders to attend the General Meeting in person. On this basis, and assuming the continuation of those restrictive measures, the Company will run the General Meeting as a closed meeting.

Shareholders attempting to attend the General Meeting will therefore be refused entry. 

 

Appointment of proxies

4. If you are a shareholder who is entitled to attend and vote at the meeting, you are entitled to appoint one or more proxies to exercise all or any of your rights to attend, speak and vote at the meeting and you should have received a proxy form with this notice of meeting. As the meeting will be run as a closed meeting, the Company recommends that all shareholders appoint the Chairman of the meeting as their proxy to ensure their votes count.

You can only appoint a proxy using the procedures set out in these notes and the notes to the proxy form.

5 . If you are not a member of the Company but you have been nominated by a member of the Company to enjoy information rights, you do not have a right to appoint any proxies under the procedures set out in this "Appointment of proxies" section. Please read the section "Nominated persons" below.

6. You may appoint more than one proxy provided each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by that shareholder. To appoint more than one proxy, please contact Neville Registrars Limited at the address below or by calling 0121 585 1131. You will need to state clearly on each proxy form the number of shares in relation to which the proxy is appointed. Failure to specify the number of shares to which each proxy appointment relates or specifying a number in excess of those held by the shareholder will result in the proxy appointment being invalid. However, to ensure that your vote counts, and as mentioned above, the Company recommends that you appoint the Chairman of the meeting as your proxy.

7. Shareholders can:

· Appoint a proxy or proxies and give proxy instructions by returning the enclosed proxy form by post (see note 9).

Note that, due to the measures implemented by the UK Government to combat the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic, shareholders and/or their proxies will not be able to attend the meeting in person. Accordingly, shareholders will need to appoint a proxy who will be attending the meeting to exercise their voting rights at the meeting. If shareholders appoint the Chairman of the meeting as their proxy, this will ensure that their votes are cast in accordance with their wishes given that, in light of the restrictions on public gatherings, only the bare minimum number of persons will be attending the meeting in person in order to satisfy the quorum requirement for the meeting.

8. A vote withheld is not a vote in law, which means that the vote will not be counted in the calculation of votes for or against the resolution. If you either select the "Discretionary" option or if no voting indication is given, your proxy will vote or abstain from voting at his or her discretion. Your proxy will vote (or abstain from voting) as he or she thinks fit in relation to any other matter which is put before the meeting.

Appointment of proxy by post

9. The notes to the proxy form explain how to direct your proxy how to vote on each resolution or withhold their vote.

To appoint a proxy using the proxy form, the form must be:

· completed and signed;

sent or delivered to, Neville Registrars Limited, Neville House, Steelpark Road, Halesowen, West Midlands, B62 8HD; and

· received by Neville Registrars Limited no later than 10.00 a.m. 11 February 2021.

In the case of a shareholder which is a company, the proxy form must be executed under its common seal or signed on its behalf by an officer of the company or an attorney for the company.

Any power of attorney or any other authority under which the proxy form is signed (or a duly certified copy of such power or authority) must be included with the proxy form.

If you have not received a proxy form and believe that you should have one, or if you require additional proxy forms, please contact Neville Registrars Limited at the above address or by calling 0121 585 1131.

Appointment of proxies electronically

10. As an alternative to completing the hard-copy proxy form, you can appoint a proxy electronically with Neville Registrars Limited at www.sharegateway.co.uk and completing the authentication requirements including the personal proxy registration code as shown on the proxy form. For an electronic proxy appointment to be valid, your appointment must be received by Neville Registrars Limited no later than 10.00 a.m. 11 February 2021.

Appointment of proxies through CREST

11. CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies by utilising the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so for the meeting and any adjournment(s) of it by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual (available via www.euroclear.com). CREST Personal Members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a voting service provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf.

For a proxy appointment or instructions made using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a CREST Proxy Instruction) must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited's (EUI) specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual. The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or is an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy, must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by Neville Registrars Limited (ID 7RA11) no later than 10.00 a.m. 11 February 2021, or, in the event of an adjournment of the meeting, 48 hours (excluding non-business days) before the adjourned meeting. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Applications Host) from which the issuer's agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time, any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means.

CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that EUI does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular message. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or sponsored member, or has appointed a voting service provider(s), to procure that his/her CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. In this connection, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.

The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.

Appointment of proxy by joint members

12. In the case of joint holders, where more than one of the joint holders completes a proxy appointment, only the appointment submitted by the most senior holder will be accepted. Seniority is determined by the order in which the names of the joint holders appear in the Company's register of members in respect of the joint holding (the first-named being the most senior).

Changing proxy instructions

13. Shareholders may change proxy instructions by submitting a new proxy appointment using the methods set out above. Note that the cut-off time for receipt of proxy appointments also apply in relation to amended instructions; any amended proxy appointment received after the relevant cut-off time will be disregarded.

Where you have appointed a proxy using the hard-copy proxy form and would like to change the instructions using another hard-copy proxy form, please contact Neville Registrars Limited, Neville House, Steelpark Road, Halesowen, West Midlands, B62 8HD.

If you submit more than one valid proxy appointment, the appointment received last before the latest time for the receipt of proxies will take precedence.

Termination of proxy appointment

14. A shareholder may change a proxy instruction but to do so you will need to inform the Company in writing by:

· Sending a signed hard-copy notice clearly stating your intention to revoke your proxy appointment to Neville Registrars Limited, Neville House, Steelpark Road, Halesowen, West Midlands, B62 8HD. In the case of a shareholder which is a company, the revocation notice must be executed under its common seal or signed on its behalf by an officer of the company or an attorney for the company. Any power of attorney or any other authority under which the revocation notice is signed (or a duly certified copy of such power or authority) must be included with the revocation notice.

· The revocation notice must be received by Neville Registrars Limited, Neville House, Steelpark Road, Halesowen, West Midlands, B62 8HD no later than 10.00 a.m. 11 February 2021.

If you attempt to revoke your proxy appointment but the revocation is received after the time specified, your original proxy appointment will remain valid unless you attend the meeting and vote in person.

Appointment of a proxy does not preclude you from attending the meeting and voting in person. If you have appointed a proxy and attend the Meeting in person, your proxy appointment will automatically be terminated.

Corporate representatives

15. A corporation which is a shareholder can appoint one or more corporate representatives who may exercise, on its behalf, all its powers as a shareholder provided that no more than one corporate representative exercises powers over the same share.

Issued shares and total voting rights

17. As at 6.00pm on 28 January 2021 on, which is the latest practicable date before publication of this notice, the Company's issued share capital comprised 29,400,120 ordinary shares of 2.5p each. Each ordinary share carries the right to one vote at a general meeting of the Company and, therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company as at 6.00pm on 28 January 2021 is 29,400,120.

The Company's website will include information on the number of shares and voting rights.

Questions at the meeting

18. As the meeting will be run as a closed meeting, members are encouraged to submit any questions that they have by e-mail to Andy.Morrison@spinnakermanagement.co.uk. The Board will endeavour to provide answers to all appropriate questions and to publish such answers on the Company's website as soon as practicable following the General Meeting. Shareholder engagement is important to the Company even in these exceptional times.

 

Nominated persons

19. If you are a person who has been nominated under section 146 of the Companies Act 2006 to enjoy information rights (Nominated Person):

· You may have a right under an agreement between you and the shareholder of the Company who has nominated you to have information rights (Relevant Shareholder) to be appointed or to have someone else appointed as a proxy for the meeting.

· If you either do not have such a right or if you have such a right but do not wish to exercise it, you may have a right under an agreement between you and the Relevant Shareholder to give instructions to the Relevant Shareholder as to the exercise of voting rights.

· Your main point of contact in terms of your investment in the Company remains the Relevant Shareholder (or, perhaps, your custodian or broker) and you should continue to contact them (and not the Company) regarding any changes or queries relating to your personal details and your interest in the Company (including any administrative matters). The only exception to this is where the Company expressly requests a response from you.

The rights relating to proxies set out in note 4 do not apply directly to nominated persons.

Voting

20. Voting on all resolutions will be conducted by way of a poll rather than on a show of hands.

As soon as practicable following the meeting, the results of the voting will be announced via a regulatory information service and also placed on the Company's website.

Documents on display

21. Copy of the Prospectus and this document are available for inspection at the Company's registered office during normal business hours and at the place of the meeting from at least 15 minutes prior to the meeting until the end of the meeting.
