LungLife AI, Inc.
(the "Company" or "LungLife")

Proposed equity raise of approximately £1.8 million to fund commercial proof of

concept

LungLife AI (AIM: LLAI), a developer of clinical diagnostic solutions for the early detection of lung cancer, today announces that it proposes to raise approximately £1.8 million (approximately US$2.3 million) (before fees and expenses) (the "Fundraising"). The Fundraising will comprise the issue of new common stock of the Company with a par value of US$0.0001 per share ("New Shares") through:

· a non-pre-emptive conditional placing of New Shares (the "Placing Shares") at the Issue Price (as defined below) to raise approximately £1.56 million (approximately US$1.96 million) (before fees and expenses) (the "Placing"); and

· conditional subscriptions for New Shares (the "Subscription Shares") expected from certain existing shareholders at the Issue Price to raise approximately £0.25 million (approximately US$0.32 million) (before fees and expenses) (the "Subscription").

Operational Highlights

· LungLife is a developer of clinical diagnostic solutions for lung cancer enhanced by AI. The Company's diagnostic solutions are designed to make significant improvements in the early detection of lung cancer, one of the most lethal cancers, accounting for nearly a quarter of all cancer-related deaths in the US.

· On 2 January 2024, LungLife reported positive validation study results for its LungLB® test, a minimally invasive blood draw test used for the early detection of lung cancer.

· These results are the catalyst for the Company to begin its commercialisation process for the test.

· The net proceeds of the Fundraising, along with the Company's existing cash resources, are expected to be utilised to establish the commercial proof of concept of the Company's LungLB® test, including:

· funding of evidence generating activities, including the Early Access Program ("EAP") and clinical utility studies, dependent upon the factors noted in Section 2 of Appendix 1 below, to support reimbursement and test adoption;

· increasing expenditure to support engagement with payors and clinicians, and support the wider need to raise clinical awareness via key opinion leaders, publications and conferences; and

· accelerating the commercial pathway by pursuing licensing or other similar agreements.

The net proceeds of the Fundraising will allow the Company to consider all of its strategic options in order to maximise shareholder value and, in conjunction with the implementation of certain cost-cutting actions, is expected to provide the Company with a cash runway to early April 2025.

Fundraising Highlights

· New Shares to be issued at a price of 35 pence per share (the "Issue Price"), which represents a discount of approximately 15.7 per cent. to the closing price of 41.5 pence per Common Share on 4 March 2024 (being the last practicable date prior to publication of this announcement).

· Placing Shares will comprise (i) New Shares to be issued to VCT and EIS investors (the "VCT/EIS Placing Shares"); and (ii) New Shares to be issued to non-VCT and EIS investors.

· Roy Davis, Paul Pagano, David Anderson and Andrew Boteler have each confirmed their intention to participate in the Fundraising for an aggregate amount of £25,000 (approximately US$31,500).

Details of the Fundraising

Investec Bank plc ("Investec") and Goodbody Stockbrokers UC, trading as Goodbody ("Goodbody" and, together with Investec, the "Joint Bookrunners"), are acting as joint bookrunners in connection with the Placing.

The Placing is subject to the terms and conditions set out in Appendix 2 to this announcement (which forms part of this announcement, such announcement and the Appendices together being the "Announcement"). Members of the public are not entitled to participate in the Placing. The Subscription will be subject to the terms and conditions set out in subscription agreements expected to be entered into between the subscribers and the Company rather than pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Placing contained in Appendix 2 to this Announcement.

The Placing will be conducted through an accelerated bookbuilding process (the "Bookbuild") which will be launched immediately following this Announcement. The number of Placing Shares will be decided at the close of the Bookbuild. The timing of the closing of the book and allocations are at the discretion of the Joint Bookrunners and the Company. Details of the number of Placing Shares and Subscription Shares will be announced as soon as practicable after the close of the Bookbuild.

The New Shares will, when issued, be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Common Shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid in respect of the New Shares after the date of issue.

The New Shares will be issued under temporary ISIN: USU5500L1128 and TIDM: LLA (with the marker REGS Cat 3) and will be subject to restrictions on re-sales until the expiry of one year after the later of (i) the time when the New Shares are first offered to persons other than distributors in reliance upon Regulation S; and (ii) the date of closing of the Fundraising, or such longer period as the Company may determine it as may be required under applicable law following which the ISIN may be merged with the ISIN for the Company's existing shares. Further details of these restrictions are set out under "US restrictions on the transfer of Common Shares" in Appendix 2 to this Announcement.

An application will be made to London Stock Exchange plc (the "London Stock Exchange") for admission of the New Shares to trading on AIM ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective at 8.00 a.m. on 22 March 2024.

The Placing is conditional, among other things, on (i) shareholder approval; (ii) Admission becoming effective; and (iii) the placing agreement between the Company and the Joint Bookrunners (the "Placing Agreement") not being terminated in accordance with its terms. Pursuant to the Placing Agreement, the Joint Bookrunners expect to receive their professional fees in relation to the Placing in the form of New Shares in the Company at the Issue Price.

Appendix 2 to this Announcement sets out further information relating to the Bookbuild and the terms and conditions of the Placing. The Subscription is conditional, among other things, on (i) shareholder approval; and (ii) Admission becoming effective.

A circular containing the notice of the Special Meeting to be held on 21 March 2024 to, inter alia, approve the resolutions required to implement the Fundraising, is expected to be published and despatched to shareholders on or around 6 March 2024 (the "Circular"). Appendix 1 to this Announcement is an adapted extract from the Circular that is proposed to be sent to shareholders. Following its publication the Circular will be available on the Company's website at https://lunglifeai.com/investors/shareholder-information/

APPENDIX 1 - ADAPTED EXTRACT FROM THE CIRCULAR

1. Information on the Company

The Company is a developer of clinical diagnostic solutions for lung cancer enhanced by artificial intelligence ("AI"). Lung cancer is one of the most lethal cancers, accounting for nearly a quarter of all cancer-related deaths in the US. The Company's diagnostic solutions are designed to make significant improvements in the early detection of lung cancer.

The Company's technology is comprised of rare-cell enrichment combined with blood-based biomarkers shown to be altered in lung cancer. The Company employs machine learning to improve upon existing computer software to identify informative cells from blood, and intends to build a deep, novel pool of lung cancer-related data for AI-enabled applications designed to improve test performance over time.

The Company's diagnostic, the LungLB® test, is intended to be used as a tool to provide clinicians with additional information to help in the decision-making process for people with indeterminate lung (pulmonary) nodules identified following a CT scan that may be lung cancer. There are estimated to be over 1.5 million of such people who are diagnosed each year in the US. The LungLB® test may have other utilities, the most significant of which is likely to be in monitoring individuals for recurrence following surgical removal of the cancerous lung nodule. The directors believe that the LungLB® test will provide significant benefit when added to the clinical care pathway by both reducing the number of unnecessary invasive procedures and by reducing delays in treatment from the "wait-and-see" pathway.

2. Background to, and reasons for, the Fundraising

Company's focus since IPO

Since the admission of the Company's Common Stock to trading on AIM on 8 July 2021, the Company has been focussed on two key areas: (i) the completion of its multi-site, prospective clinical study of the LungLB® test; and (ii) laying the foundations for its subsequent commercialisation.

(i) Clinical study

The clinical study enrolled 425 patients across 17 hospital study sites who were scheduled to receive a lung nodule biopsy, of which 347 provided data that could be analysed. These results were driven by a group of 98 patients with small (less than 15 mm) nodules, which represent a major challenge to physicians practising in lung cancer detection and treatment. When developing a precision medicine test, it is common practice to identify a specific indicated use in order to maximise the impact on a given patient population, which in turn helps physicians to know exactly when to use the test. The small nodules group is the most important indicated use for LungLB®.

In the study, LungLB® demonstrated:

· A strong positive predictive value ("PPV") of 81 per cent. in discriminating benign from cancerous lung nodules in patients with smaller nodules of less than 15 mm. Smaller nodules are the most problematic area for early detection and represent the greatest challenge for physicians. Current clinical standards of care generate an approximately 60 per cent. PPV, leading to material delays in diagnosis of deadly cancers.

· This performance in smaller nodules, similarly demonstrated in LungLife AI's lead-in study published in June 2023, typically represents earlier detection capability and improved patient outcomes and highlights the test's consistency.

· The small nodule group in this study is of utmost importance because it is comprised of approximately 87 per cent. "intermediate" risk nodules, which are the most challenging to evaluate and diagnose. Previous studies lack sufficient numbers of intermediate-risk nodules and this is the reason why existing diagnostic tools perform poorly in this group. The Company believes this will also be of significant value to physicians.

· In-line with a high percentage of intermediate risk nodules, the test also outperformed the highly validated Mayo Risk Model nodule evaluation tool, which is a commonly used baseline comparator, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 72 per cent. for LungLB® compared to 62 per cent. for the Mayo tool.

· The results were also compared to Positron emission tomography ("PET") scan, another tool often employed in nodule evaluation clinics. LungLB® outperformed PET by approximately 21 per cent. (81 per cent. vs 67 per cent. PPV) in the small nodule group, providing physicians with a more robust diagnostic tool in this area.

(ii) Foundations for commercialisation

The development milestones of the Company achieved to date, since its admission to trading on AIM in July 2021 are summarised below.

· In September 2022, the Company announced that the New York State Department of Health had awarded the Company a Clinical Laboratory Evaluation permit ("CLEP") following the CLEP's audit, during which there were no deficiencies found.

· In November 2022, the Company announced that it has been granted a price of $2,030 per test by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The granting of the CPT Proprietary Laboratory Analyses code was published at the beginning of 2022.

· In March 2023, the Company announced the publication of its peer-reviewed health economics study, which provided evidence that the test can be utilised as a cost-effective alternative compared to the current diagnostic pathway.

· In June 2023, the Company announced the peer-reviewed publication of the results from its 151 pilot study in BMC Pulmonary Medicine.

Each of these achievements are a prerequisite to the commercialisation of the LungLB® test.

Cash and use of proceeds

As announced in the Company's half-year results on 8 August 2023, the Company's unaudited cash balance as at 30 June 2023 was $5.36m. As at 31 December 2023, the Company had a cash balance of $2.83m.

The Company intends to use net proceeds of the Fundraising, along with the Company's existing cash resources, to establish the commercial proof of concept of the LungLB® test, as detailed below:

i. funding of evidence generating activities, including the EAP and clinical utility studies, dependent upon the factors noted below, to support reimbursement and test adoption;

ii. increasing expenditure to support engagement with payors and clinicians, and support the wider need to raise clinical awareness via key opinion leaders, publications and conferences; and

iii. accelerating the commercial pathway by pursuing licensing or other similar agreements.

Establish the commercial proof of concept of the LungLB® test

Reimbursement in the US market requires a methodical and deliberate approach, with the workstreams to gain clinician adoption of the test, and to follow the reimbursement pathways for both commercial and Medicare payors running concurrently.

The EAP will be the first step in clinician adoption. Under the program identified sites, which previously participated in the Company's clinical validation study, will be able to order a limited number of tests (unlikely to be in excess of 100 in total across all sites), following which, in addition to providing a test result, the Company will gather information about the process and changes in clinical behaviours. The program is designed to provide feedback on the practical aspects of ordering the test and to enable the Company to gather clinician feedback. The Company intends to publish the findings of its EAP. While the program is running, the Company is precluded from charging for the test as part of this program and any tests carried on outside this program for its duration.

The Company and its clinical partners believe that the LungLB® test will be clinically useful and findings from the EAP are expected to be the initial step to evidence those opinions as fact, which is necessary for mature commercialisation.

In parallel with the EAP, the Company intends to build on the work done to date on building the billing platform and create the necessary publications and materials to support the reimbursement of claims made to commercial payors following completion of the EAP. The creation of a medical dossier and other core marketing documentation will be an early focus of the Company. As is standard practice in the US healthcare market, it is likely that the initial claims to commercial payors will be denied, but the approach taken by the Company will be to ensure that a robust response is provided to maximise the chances of securing payment at the point of first claim.

The majority of patients who could benefit from the LungLB® test would be covered under Medicare, which is the US federal health insurance programme primarily for people who are 65 or older. Medicare covers an estimated 60 million US lives, and thus represents a sizeable portion of the LungLB® market. Reimbursement under Medicare has its own defined pathway.

The LungLB® test has already been awarded its code (allowing clinicians to identify the test) and price, but the achievement of coverage under Medicare and approval of payment for the test is dependent upon the award of a LCD. A necessary first step for Medicare coverage is the preparation of a clinical dossier and its submission to the Medicare Contractor for Technical Assessment ("TA").

A key part of the TA is the inclusion of peer reviewed publications which include evidence of clinical utility. As noted above, peer-reviewed publications have already been made covering the Company's health economics and pilot study and the Company also intends to publish the results of its clinical validation study and utility data derived from the EAP. The nature and scope of the evidence required of clinical utility is subjective and, as part of the usual process, the Company will work with its Medicare contractor to define evidence for coverage.

One of the factors determining the nature and scope of the clinical utility study is the pathway to the award of an LCD. There are two possible pathways, a foundational LCD (based on evidence of utility from an existing diagnostic test) or a specific LCD for LungLB®. The main difference between the two is the likely timeframe within which an award could be granted, with the former (the foundational LCD) being the quicker option. The other difference between the two pathways could be the nature and scope of the accompanying clinical utility study required for coverage.

A draft proposed foundational LCD is being considered by Palmetto, a Medicare Contractor, which, as currently drafted, would cover the LungLB® test in certain circumstances. The Company has provided public comment on this process and sought to extend the circumstances under which a test would be covered.

For the deployment of the use of proceeds, the Company has made assumptions about the nature and scope of the required clinical utility study and TA. The proposed foundational LCD could be finalised later this year, however the Company does not expect an award any sooner than the third quarter of 2025.

3. Current trading

The Company's interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2023 reported a cash balance of $5.36 million and a loss before tax of $2.81 million. In the six-month period to 31 December 2023, the Company concluded its multi-site, prospective clinical study. The Company's total cash balance as at 31 December 2023 was $2.83 million.

4. VCT/EIS Placing Shares

The Company has received advance assurance from HMRC that the EIS Placing Shares will be eligible shares for the purposes of the EIS. The Company has not applied for assurance from HMRC that the VCT Placing Shares will rank as a qualifying investment for the purposes of investment by VCTs. Neither the Company nor its directors give any warranty or undertaking that EIS relief or VCT qualifying status will be granted or that, if EIS relief or VCT qualifying status is granted, it will not be withdrawn, nor do they warrant or undertake that the Company will conduct its activities in a way that qualifies for or preserves its status or the status of any investment in Common Shares. Investors considering taking advantage of any of the reliefs under EIS should seek their own professional advice in order that they may fully understand how the rules apply in their individual circumstances and what they are required to do in order to claim any reliefs (if available). As the rules governing EIS and VCT reliefs are complex and interrelated with other legislation, if any potential investors are in any doubt as to their tax position, require more detailed information than the general outline above, or are subject to tax in a jurisdiction other than the UK, they should consult their professional advisers.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PLACEES ONLY REGARDING THE PLACING

Bookbuild

Following this Announcement, the Joint Bookrunners will today commence the Bookbuild to determine demand for participation in the Placing by Placees. No commissions will be paid to Placees or by Placees in respect of any Placing Shares. The book will open with immediate effect.

The Joint Bookrunners and the Company shall be entitled to effect the Placing by such alternative method to the Bookbuild as they may, in their sole discretion, determine.

Details of the Placing Agreement and of the Placing Shares

Investec and Goodbody are acting as joint bookrunners in connection with the Placing.

The Joint Bookrunners have today entered into an agreement with the Company (the "Placing Agreement") under which, subject to the conditions set out therein, each Joint Bookrunner has agreed, each as agent for and on behalf of the Company, to use its reasonable endeavours to procure Placees for the Placing Shares at a price of 35 pence per Placing Share (the "Issue Price") in such number to be determined following completion of the Bookbuild. The final number of Placing Shares will be determined by the Company and the Joint Bookrunners at the close of the Bookbuild and will be set out in the executed terms of placing terms (the "Placing Terms"). The timing of the closing of the book, pricing and allocations are at the discretion of the Company and the Joint Bookrunners. Details of the number of Placing Shares will be announced as soon as practicable after the close of the Bookbuild. The Fundraising is not underwritten.

Application for admission to trading

An application will be made to London Stock Exchange plc (the "London Stock Exchange") for admission of the New Shares to trading on AIM ("Admission"). Subject to the passing of the Resolutions, it is expected that Admission will become effective at 8.00 a.m. on 22 March 2024 or such later time and date (being not later than 8.00 a.m. on 4 April 2024) as the Joint Bookrunners and the Company may agree.

Participation in, and principal terms of, the Placing

1. The Joint Bookrunners are arranging the Placing severally, and not jointly, nor jointly and severally, as agents of the Company.

2. Participation in the Placing will only be available to persons who may lawfully be, and are, invited to participate by either Joint Bookrunner. Each Joint Bookrunner and their Affiliates are entitled to enter bids in the Bookbuild as principal.

3. The results of the Placing and the number of Placing Shares will be announced on a Regulatory Information Service following the completion of the Bookbuild.

4. To bid in the Bookbuild, prospective Placees should communicate their bid by telephone or in writing to their usual sales contact at one of the Joint Bookrunners. Each bid should state the number of Placing Shares which the prospective Placee wishes to subscribe for at the Issue Price. Bids may be scaled down by the Joint Bookrunners in their sole discretion.

5. A bid in the Bookbuild will be made on the terms and subject to the conditions in this Appendix and will be legally binding on the Placee on behalf of which it is made and, except with the consent of the relevant Joint Bookrunner, will not be capable of variation or revocation after the time at which it is submitted. Each Placee's obligations will be owed to the Company and each Joint Bookrunner. Each Placee will also have an immediate, separate, irrevocable and binding obligation, owed to each Joint Bookrunner, to pay to the Joint Bookrunners (or as the Joint Bookrunners may direct) as agents for the Company in cleared funds an amount equal to the product of the Issue Price and the number of Placing Shares that such Placee has agreed to subscribe for and the Company has agreed to allot and issue to that Placee.

6. The Bookbuild is expected to close no later than 7.00 a.m. (London time) on 05 March 2024, but may be closed earlier or later at the discretion of the Joint Bookrunners. The Joint Bookrunners may, in agreement with the Company, accept bids that are received after the Bookbuild has closed.

7. Each Placee's allocation will be determined by the Company in consultation with the Joint Bookrunners and will be confirmed to Placees orally or in writing by the relevant Joint Bookrunners following the close of the Bookbuild and a trade confirmation will be dispatched as soon as possible thereafter. That oral or written confirmation (at the Joint Bookrunners' discretion) to such Placee will constitute an irrevocable legally binding commitment upon such person (who will at that point become a Placee) in favour of the Joint Bookrunners and the Company, under which such Placee agrees to subscribe for the number of Placing Shares allocated to it and to pay the Issue Price for each such Placing Share on the terms and conditions set out in this Appendix and in accordance with the Company's constitutional documents.

8. The Joint Bookrunners may, notwithstanding paragraphs 4 and 6 above, and subject to the prior consent of the Company: (i) allocate Placing Shares after the time of any initial allocation to any person submitting a bid after that time; and (ii) allocate Placing Shares after the Bookbuild has closed to any person submitting a bid after that time. The acceptance of bids shall be at the absolute discretion of the Joint Bookrunners. The Company reserves the right (upon agreement with the Joint Bookrunners) to reduce or seek to increase the amount to be raised pursuant to the Placing.

9. Except as required by law or regulation, no press release or other announcement will be made by either Joint Bookrunner or the Company using the name of any Placee (or its agent), in its capacity as Placee (or agent), other than with such Placee's prior written consent.

10. Irrespective of the time at which a Placee's allocation(s) pursuant to the Placing is/are confirmed, settlement for all Placing Shares to be subscribed for pursuant to the Placing will be required to be made at the same time on the basis explained below under "Registration and settlement".

11. All obligations under the Bookbuild and Placing will be subject to fulfilment or (where applicable) waiver of the conditions referred to below under "Conditions of the Placing" and to the Placing not being terminated on the basis referred to below under "Termination of the Placing Agreement".

12. By participating in the Bookbuild, each Placee agrees that its rights and obligations in respect of the Placing will terminate only in the circumstances described below and will not be capable of rescission or termination by the Placee after confirmation (oral or otherwise) by either Joint Bookrunner.

13. By participating in the Placing, each Placee agrees with the Company and the Joint Bookrunners that the exercise or non-exercise by the Joint Bookrunners of any right of termination or other right or other discretion under the Placing Agreement shall be within the absolute discretion of the Joint Bookrunners or for agreement between the Company and the Joint Bookrunners (as the case may be) and that neither the Company nor the Joint Bookrunners need make any reference to, or consult with, Placees and that none of the Company, neither Joint Bookrunner nor any of their respective Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives shall have any liability to Placees whatsoever in connection with any such exercise or failure to so exercise or otherwise.

14. To the fullest extent permissible by law, none of the Company, the Joint Bookrunners nor any of their Affiliates nor any of its or their respective Representatives shall have any responsibility or liability to any Placee (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise and whether or not a recipient of this document). In particular, none of the Company, the Joint Bookrunners nor any of their Affiliates nor any of its or their respective Representatives shall have any responsibility or liability (whether in contract, tort or otherwise and including, to the fullest extent permissible by law, any fiduciary duties) in respect of the Joint Bookrunners' conduct of the Bookbuild or of such alternative method of effecting the Placing as the Joint Bookrunners and their respective Affiliates and the Company may agree.

Conditions of the Placing

The Placing is conditional upon the Placing Agreement becoming unconditional and not having been terminated in accordance with its terms. The obligations of the Joint Bookrunners under the Placing Agreement are conditional on certain conditions, including, amongst other things:

(a) the Placing Terms having been executed by the Company and the Joint Bookrunners;

(b) the publication by the Company of the Placing Terms Announcement through a Regulatory Information Service immediately following the execution of the Placing Terms;

(d) prior to Admission, the receipt of advanced assurances from HMRC in respect of tax relief available to Placees applying for VCT/EIS Placing Shares in respect of which EIS relief is expected to be claimed and comfort letters from advisors in relation to the VCT/EIS Placing Shares constituting a qualifying holding for VCT purposes;

(i) there not occurring prior to Admission, in the opinion of the Joint Bookrunners (acting jointly and in good faith and after consultation, to the extent it is reasonably practicable, with the Company), a Material Adverse Change in the context of the Placing; and

(j) Admission occurring by 8.00 a.m. on 22 March 2024 (or such later time and/or date as the Joint Bookrunners and the Company may agree in writing, being not later than 8.00 a.m. on 4 April 2024),

(all conditions to the obligations of the Joint Bookrunners included in the Placing Agreement being together, the "Conditions").

If any of the Conditions are not fulfilled or, where permitted, waived or extended by the Joint Bookrunners in accordance with the Placing Agreement, the Placing will lapse and the Placees' rights and obligations hereunder in relation to the Placing Shares shall cease and terminate at such time and each Placee agrees that no claim can be made by or on behalf of the Placee (or any person on whose behalf the Placing is acting) in respect thereof.

The Joint Bookrunners (acting jointly) may, at their discretion and upon such terms and conditions as they think fit, waive satisfaction of certain of the Conditions (save that Conditions (a), (b), (c), (d), (g), and (j) cannot be waived) or extend the time provided for their satisfaction. Any such waiver or extension will not affect Placees' commitments as set out in this Announcement.

Neither Joint Bookrunner nor any of their Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives shall have any liability or responsibility to any Placee (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise) in respect of any decision it or another person may make as to whether or not to waive or to extend the time and/or date for the satisfaction of any Condition nor for any decision it may make as to the satisfaction of any Condition or in respect of the Placing generally and by participating in the Placing each Placee agrees that any such decision is within the absolute discretion of the Joint Bookrunners. Placees will have no rights against the Joint Bookrunners, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates under the Placing Agreement pursuant to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 (as amended) or otherwise.

By participating in the Bookbuild, each Placee agrees that its rights and obligations hereunder terminate only in the circumstances described above and under "Termination of the Placing Agreement" below, and will not be capable of rescission or termination by the Placee.

Termination of the Placing Agreement

Each Joint Bookrunner, in its absolute discretion, may prior to Admission terminate the Placing Agreement in accordance with its terms in certain circumstances, including, amongst other things:

(a) any statement in any document or announcement issued or published by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the Fundraising is or has become or is discovered to be untrue, inaccurate or misleading, or any matter has arisen or has been discovered which would, if such document or announcement were to be issued at that time, constitute an omission therefrom and which, in each case, is in the opinion of either Joint Bookrunner (acting in good faith), material in the context of the Placing;

(b) there has been, in the opinion of either Joint Bookrunner (acting in good faith), a breach by the Company of any of the warranties or representations contained in the Placing Agreement;

(c) there has been a breach of any provision of any Subscription Agreement or waiver of any condition thereto, in each case, by the Company;

(d) the Company fails to comply in any material respects with its obligations under the Placing Agreement;

(f) upon the occurrence of certain force majeure events; or

(g) if the application for Admission is withdrawn by the Company or refused by the London Stock Exchange (as appropriate).

If circumstances arise that would allow either Joint Bookrunner to terminate the Placing Agreement, the other Joint Bookrunner may nevertheless determine to allow the Admission to proceed. In addition, if both Joint Bookrunners do not give notice to terminate the Placing Agreement in circumstances where they are able, the Joint Bookrunner who does not give such notice may allow Admission to proceed and will assume the obligations which remain to be performed under the Placing Agreement by the Joint Bookrunner who has given notice to terminate.

If the Placing Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the rights and obligations of each Placee in respect of the Placing as described in this Announcement shall cease and terminate at such time and no claim may be made by any Placee in respect thereof.

No prospectus or admission document

No prospectus, offering memorandum, offering document or admission document has been or will be prepared or submitted to be approved by the FCA (or any other authority) in relation to the Placing or Admission and no such prospectus is required (in accordance with the UK Prospectus Regulation or otherwise) to be published in the United Kingdom or any equivalent jurisdiction.

Placees' commitments will be made solely on the basis of the information contained in this Announcement and any Exchange Information (as defined below) and subject to the further terms set forth in the electronic contract note and/or electronic trade confirmation to be provided to individual prospective Placees (save that in the case of Exchange Information, a Placee's right to rely on that information is limited to the right that such Placee would have as a matter of law in the absence of this paragraph).

Each Placee, by accepting a participation in the Placing, agrees that the content of this Announcement and the Exchange Information previously and simultaneously released by or on behalf of the Company is exclusively the responsibility of the Company and has not been independently verified by the Joint Bookrunners. Each Placee, by accepting a participation in the Placing, further confirms to the Company and each Joint Bookrunner that it has neither received nor relied on any other information, representation, warranty or statement made by or on behalf of the Company (other than publicly available information) or the Joint Bookrunners or its Affiliates or any other person and none of the Company, the Joint Bookrunners nor any of their respective Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives nor any other person will be liable for any Placee's decision to participate in the Placing based on any other information, representation, warranty or statement which the Placees may have obtained or received (regardless of whether or not such information, representation, warranty or statement was given or made by or on behalf of any such persons). By participating in the Placing, each Placee acknowledges and agrees that it has relied on its own investigation of the business, financial or other position of the Company in accepting a participation in the Placing. Nothing in this paragraph shall exclude or limit the liability of any person for fraudulent misrepresentation by that person.

Lock-up

The Company has undertaken to the Joint Bookrunners that, between the date of the Placing Agreement and the date which is 180 calendar days after the Closing Date, it will not, without the prior written consent of the Joint Bookrunners, issue, allot, offer or enter into certain other transactions involving the transfer or disposal of the Common Shares. This agreement is subject to certain customary carve-outs agreed between the Joint Bookrunners and the Company.

By participating in the Placing, Placees agree that the exercise by the Joint Bookrunners of any power to grant consent to waive the aforementioned undertaking by the Company shall be within the absolute discretion of the Joint Bookrunners and that they need not make any reference to, or consult with, Placees and that it shall have no liability to Placees whatsoever in connection with any such exercise of the power to grant consent.

Registration and settlement

Settlement of transactions in the Placing Shares (temporary ISIN: USU5500L1128 and TIDM: LLA) with the marker (REG S Cat 3) following Admission will take place within the CREST system, subject to certain exceptions. The Company and the Joint Bookrunners reserve the right to require settlement for, and delivery of, Depositary Interests representing the Placing Shares or Placing Shares to Placees by such other means that they deem necessary, including in certificated form, if delivery or settlement is not possible or practicable within the CREST system within the timetable set out in this Announcement or would not be consistent with the regulatory requirements in the Placee's jurisdiction. The Placing Shares will be subject to restrictions on re-sales until the expiry of one year after the later of (i) the time when the New Shares are first offered to persons other than distributors in reliance upon Regulation S; and (ii) the date of closing of the Fundraising, or such longer period as the Company may determine it as may be required under applicable law following which the ISIN may be merged with the ISIN for the Company's existing shares. Further details of these restrictions are set out below under "US restrictions on the transfer of Common Shares".

Each Placee agrees that it will do all things necessary to ensure that delivery and payment is completed in accordance with the standing CREST or certificated settlement instructions that it has in place with the Settlement Bank or otherwise as the Settlement Bank may direct.

The Company will deliver Depositary Interests representing the Placing Shares to a CREST account operated by the Settlement Bank as agent for and on behalf of the Company and the Settlement Bank will enter its delivery (DEL) instruction into the CREST system. The Settlement Bank will hold any Depositary Interests representing Placing Shares delivered to this account as nominee for the Placees. The input to CREST by a Placee of a matching or acceptance instruction will then allow delivery of the relevant Depositary Interests representing Placing Shares to that Placee against payment. Subject to the passing of the Resolutions, it is expected that settlement of the Placing Shares will be on 22 March 2024 and will be on a delivery versus payment basis in accordance with the instructions given to the Joint Bookrunners.

Interest is chargeable daily on payments not received from Placees on the due date in accordance with the arrangements set out above, in respect of either CREST or certificated deliveries, at the rate of two percentage points above SONIA as determined by the Joint Bookrunners.

Each Placee agrees that, if it does not comply with these obligations, the relevant Placee shall be deemed hereby to have irrevocably and unconditionally appointed the Joint Bookrunners, or any nominee of the Joint Bookrunners as its agent to use its reasonable endeavours to sell any or all of the Placing Shares allocated to that Placee on such Placee's behalf and retain from the proceeds (as agent for and on behalf of the Company) an amount equal to the aggregate amount owed by the Placee plus any interest due thereon. The relevant Placee will, however, remain liable for any shortfall below the aggregate amount owed by it and shall be required to bear any stamp duty, stamp duty reserve tax or other stamp, securities, transfer, registration, execution, documentary or other similar impost, duty or tax (together with any interest, fines or penalties) which may arise upon the sale of such Placing Shares on such Placee's behalf. By communicating a bid for Placing Shares, each Placee confers on each Joint Bookrunners all such authorities and powers necessary to carry out any such transaction and agrees to ratify and confirm all actions which each Joint Bookrunner lawfully takes on such Placee's behalf. Each Placee agrees that each Joint Bookrunners' rights and benefits under this paragraph may be assigned in that Joint Bookrunner's discretion.

If Placing Shares are to be delivered to a custodian or settlement agent, Placees should ensure that, upon receipt, the electronic contract note and/or electronic trade confirmation is copied and delivered immediately to the relevant person within that organisation. Insofar as Placing Shares are registered in a Placee's name or that of its nominee or in the name of any person for whom a Placee is contracting as agent or that of a nominee for such person, such Placing Shares should, subject as provided below, be so registered free from any liability to UK stamp duty or UK stamp duty reserve tax. If there are any circumstances in which any other stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax (and/or any interest, fines or penalties relating thereto) is payable in respect of the allocation, allotment, issue or delivery of the Placing Shares (or, for the avoidance of doubt if any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax is payable in connection with any subsequent transfer of or agreement to transfer Placing Shares), neither Joint Bookrunner nor the Company shall be responsible for the payment thereof.

Representations and warranties

By participating in the Placing, each Placee (and any person acting on such Placee's behalf) irrevocably acknowledges, confirms, undertakes, represents, warrants and agrees (for itself and for any person on behalf of which it is acting) with each Joint Bookrunner (in their capacity as bookrunner and as placing agent of the Company in respect of the Placing) and the Company, in each case as a fundamental term of its application for Placing Shares, that:

US restrictions on the transfer of Common Shares

Terms used in the following description that are defined in Regulation S of the US Securities Act are used as defined therein.

The Common Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the US Securities Act or under any securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States. As more fully explained below, the Common Shares offered by the Company to non-US Persons in the Placing are subject to the conditions listed under Section 903(b)(3), or Category 3, of Regulation S.

Under Category 3, Offering Restrictions (as defined under Regulation S) must be in place in connection with the Placing and additional restrictions are imposed on resales of the Common Shares. A purchaser of Common Shares may not offer, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer Common Shares, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, any US Person, except pursuant to a transaction meeting the requirements of Rules 901 to 905 (including the Preliminary Notes) of Regulation S, pursuant to an effective registration statement under the US Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the US Securities Act. Hedging transactions in the Common Shares may not be conducted, directly or indirectly, unless in compliance with the US Securities Act and applicable US state securities laws. Once the Common Shares are admitted to trading on AIM, Common Shares (as represented by the Depositary Interests) held in the CREST system will be identified with the marker "REG S" and will be segregated into a separate trading system within CREST. The Common Shares held in the CREST system will also bear a legend to the following effect, unless the Company determines otherwise in compliance with applicable law:

"THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN, AND WILL NOT BE, REGISTERED UNDER THE US SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "US SECURITIES ACT"), AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO, OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF, US PERSONS (AS DEFINED IN REGULATION S UNDER THE US SECURITIES ACT ("REGULATION S")). THE SHARES ARE BEING OFFERED ONLY TO NON-US PERSONS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN TRANSACTIONS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE US SECURITIES ACT IN RELIANCE ON REGULATION S. THE SHARES ARE "RESTRICTED SECURITIES" AS DEFINED UNDER RULE 144 (A)(3) PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. THE SHARES MAY NOT BE TAKEN UP, OFFERED, SOLD, RESOLD, DELIVERED OR DISTRIBUTED, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY WITHIN, INTO OR FROM THE UNITED STATES OR TO, OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF, US PERSONS (AS DEFINED IN REGULATION S) EXCEPT: (A)(I) IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF REGULATION S, (II) PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE US SECURITIES ACT, OR (III) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE US SECURITIES ACT. RESALES OR REOFFERS OF SHARES MADE OFFSHORE IN RELIANCE ON REGULATION S MAY NOT BE SOLD TO, OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF, ANY US PERSON (AS DEFINED IN REGULATION S) DURING THE ONE-YEAR DISTRIBUTION COMPLIANCE PERIOD UNDER REGULATION S. HEDGING TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING THESE SHARES MAY NOT BE CONDUCTED UNLESS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE US SECURITIES ACT.

BY ACCEPTING THESE SHARES, THE HOLDER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT (A) IS NOT A US PERSON (AS DEFINED IN REGULATION S) AND (B) IS NOT HOLDING THE SHARES FOR THE ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF ANY US PERSON."

Certificated Common Shares will bear a legend to the following effect, unless the Company determines otherwise in compliance with applicable law:

"THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE US SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "US SECURITIES ACT") OR ANY SECURITIES ACTS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES (THE "STATE ACTS"), AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, EXCEPT IF SUCH TRANSFER IS EFFECTED (1) IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULES 901 THROUGH 905 (INCLUDING THE PRELIMINARY NOTES) OF REGULATION S UNDER THE US SECURITIES ACT, (2) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION UNDER THE US SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE ACTS, OR (3) PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE US SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE ACTS, IN EACH CASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE US SECURITIES LAWS AND IN THE CASE OF (3) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SHALL BE DELIVERED TO THE COMPANY (AND UPON WHICH THE COMPANY MAY RELY) REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF SUCH EXEMPTION. HEDGING TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING THE COMMON STOCK OF THE COMPANY MAY NOT BE CONDUCTED, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, UNLESS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE US SECURITIES ACT. AS PROVIDED IN THE BYLAWS OF THE COMPANY, THE COMPANY IS REQUIRED BY UNITED STATES SECURITIES LAWS TO REFUSE TO REGISTER ANY TRANSFER OF SHARES NOT MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ABOVE RESTRICTIONS."

Prior to the end of the one-year Distribution Compliance Period, the holder of Common Shares acknowledges, represents and agrees that:

1. Any offer or sale of the Common Shares held through CREST must be made to non-US Persons in "offshore transactions" as defined in and pursuant to Regulation S;

2. No directed selling efforts (as defined in Regulation S) may be made in the United States by, for purposes of Rule 903 of Regulation S, the Company, a Distributor (as defined in Regulation S), any of their respective Affiliates, or any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing, or, for the purposes of Rule 904 of Regulation S, the seller, an Affiliate, or any person acting on their behalf;

3. Offering restrictions (as set out under section 903(b)(3)) must be implemented;

4. Any offer or sale of certificated Common Shares must be made to non-US Persons in "offshore transactions" as defined in and pursuant to Regulation S, pursuant to an effective registration statement under the US Securities Act or otherwise in transactions exempt from registration under the US Securities Act;

5. The Company may refuse to register any transfer of the Common Shares not made in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the US Securities Act, or pursuant to an available exemption from registration;

6. Any offer or sale, if made prior to the expiration of a one-year Distribution Compliance Period, must be made pursuant to the following conditions:

(a) The purchaser of the Common Shares (other than a Distributor) must certify that it is not a US Person and is not acquiring the Common Shares for the account or benefit of any US Person or is a US Person who purchased Common Shares in a transaction that did not require registration under the US Securities Act;

(b) The purchaser of the Common Shares must agree to resell such Common Shares only in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the US Securities Act, or pursuant to an available exemption from registration; and must agree not to engage in hedging transactions with regard to such Common Shares unless in compliance with the US Securities Act;

(d) The Company is required to refuse to register any transfer of the Common Shares not made in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the US Securities Act, or pursuant to an available exemption from registration; and

(e) Each Distributor selling Common Shares to a Distributor, a dealer (as defined in Section 2(a)(12) of the US Securities Act), or a person receiving a selling concession, fee or other remuneration, prior to the expiration of the one-year Distribution Compliance Period, must send a confirmation or other notice to the purchaser stating that the purchaser is subject to the same restrictions on offers and sales that apply to a Distributor;

7. In the case of an offer or sale of Common Shares prior to the expiration of the one-year Distribution Compliance Period by a dealer (as defined in Section 2(a)(12) of the US Securities Act), or a person receiving a selling concession, fee or other remuneration in respect of the Common Shares offered or sold:

(a) Neither the seller nor any person acting on its behalf may know that the offeree or buyer of the Common Shares is a US Person; and

(b) If the seller or any person acting on the seller's behalf knows that the purchaser is a dealer (as defined in Section 2(a)(12) of the US Securities Act) or is a person receiving a selling concession, fee or other remuneration in respect of the Common Shares sold, the seller or a person acting on the seller's behalf must send to the purchaser a confirmation or other notice stating that the Common Shares may be offered and sold during the one-year Distribution Compliance Period only in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S; pursuant to registration of the securities under the US Securities Act; or pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the US Securities Act; and

8. In the case of an offer or sale of Common Shares by an officer or director of the issuer or a Distributor, who is an affiliate of the issuer or Distributor solely by virtue of holding such position, no selling concession, fee or other remuneration may be paid in connection with such offer or sale other than the usual and customary broker's commission that would be received by a person executing such transaction as agent.

Common Shares acquired from the Company, a Distributor, or any of their respective affiliates in a transaction subject to the conditions of Rule 901 or Rule 903 are deemed to be "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144 under the US Securities Act. Resales of any of such restricted securities by the offshore purchaser must be made in accordance with Regulation S, the registration requirements of the US Securities Act or an exemption therefrom. Any "restricted securities", as defined in Rule 144, will continue to be deemed to be restricted securities, notwithstanding that they were acquired in a resale transaction made pursuant to Rule 901 or 904. Prior to the end of the Distribution Compliance Period and prior to any transfer of such Common Shares, each purchaser of Common Shares acquired through CREST and in reliance on Regulation S will be required, to represent and agree as follows, that:

(a) the purchaser is not a US Person and is not acting for the account or benefit of a US Person and is not located in the United States at the time the investment decision is made with respect to the Common Shares;

(b) the purchaser understands that the Common Shares have not been registered under the US Securities Act and may not be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred by such purchaser except: (i) in an offshore transaction to non-US Persons and otherwise meeting the requirements of Rule 901 through Rule 905 (including Preliminary Notes) of Regulation S; (ii) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the US Securities Act; or (iii) pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the US Securities Act, and in each case, in accordance with all applicable securities laws of the states of the United States and any other applicable jurisdictions;

(c) the purchaser understands and agrees that, if in the future it decides to resell, pledge or otherwise transfer any Common Shares or any beneficial interests in any Common Shares prior to the date which is one year after the later of: (i) the date when the Common Shares are first offered to persons (other than distributors) pursuant to Regulation S or pursuant to another exemption from, or transaction not subject tom registration under the US Securities Act; and (ii) Admission, it will do so only outside the United States in an offshore transaction to non-US Persons and otherwise in compliance with Rule 901 to Rule 905 (including the Preliminary Notes) under the US Securities Act, pursuant to an effective registration statement under the US Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the US Securities Act and in each of such cases in accordance with any applicable securities law of any state of the United States;

(d) the Company is required to refuse to register any transfer of the Common Shares not made in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the US Securities Act, or pursuant to an available exemption from registration;

(e) hedging transactions involving the Common Shares may not be conducted, directly or indirectly, unless in compliance with the US Securities Act;

(f) the purchaser agrees to, and each subsequent holder is required to, notify any purchaser of the Common Shares from it of the resale restrictions referred to above, if then applicable;

(g) the purchaser acknowledges that, prior to any proposed transfer of Common Shares other than pursuant to an effective registration statement, the transferee of Common Shares will be required to provide certifications and other documentation relating to the non-US Person status of such transferee and that such transferee was not located in the United States at the time the investment decision was made with respect to the Common Shares;

(h) the purchaser acknowledges that the Company, Joint Bookrunners and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing acknowledgements, representations and warranties and agrees that if any such acknowledgement, representation or warranty deemed to have been made by virtue of its purchase of Common Shares is no longer accurate, it shall promptly notify the Company and the Joint Bookrunners; and

(i) the purchaser acknowledges that the Common Shares will bear a restrictive legend to the following effect, unless the Company determines otherwise in compliance with applicable law:

Subject to various conditions including, among others, the availability of current information regarding the Company, applicable holding periods and volume and manner of sale restrictions, Rule 144 may be available for US resales of Common Shares by affiliates of the Company. Rule 144 is an exemption that allows the resale of restricted securities if a number of conditions are met, including, without limitation, a holding period, the availability of adequate current information about the Company and compliance with trading volume restrictions. Because the Company is not a reporting company (i.e. it does not have a class of equity securities registered under the US Exchange Act and does not file regular reports with the SEC) and does not intend to become a reporting company, the Common Shares may not be eligible for sale under Rule 144 for the foreseeable future. The Company may impose or modify transfer restrictions and require additional certifications and/or related documentation to evidence compliance with applicable securities laws and regulations. Common Shares held by "Affiliates" (as defined in Rule 405 of the US Securities Act) of the Company shall be held in certificated form and accordingly settlement shall not be permitted via CREST until such time as the relevant restrictions are no longer applicable. Affiliates of the Company at the time of the Placing, or investors that become Affiliates at any time after the Placing, should seek independent US legal counsel prior to selling or transferring any Common Shares. A liquid trading market for the Common Shares does not currently exist in the United States, and the Company does not expect such a market to develop soon.

PRIOR TO PURCHASING ANY COMMON SHARES OR CONDUCTING ANY TRANSACTIONS IN ANY COMMON SHARES, INVESTORS ARE ADVISED TO CONSULT PROFESSIONAL ADVISERS REGARDING THE ABOVE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND OTHER RESTRICTIONS REFERRED TO IN THIS DOCUMENT.

Miscellaneous

The agreement to allot and issue Placing Shares to Placees (or the persons for whom Placees are contracting as nominee or agent) free of UK stamp duty and UK stamp duty reserve tax relates only to their allotment and issue to Placees, or such persons as they nominate as their agents, direct from the Company for the Placing Shares in question. Neither the Company nor either Joint Bookrunner will be responsible for any UK stamp duty or UK stamp duty reserve tax (including any interest, fines and penalties relating thereto) arising in relation to the Placing Shares in any other circumstances.

Such agreement is subject to the representations, warranties and further terms above and also assumes, and is based on a warranty from each Placee, that the Placing Shares are not being acquired in connection with arrangements to issue depositary receipts or to issue or transfer the Placing Shares into a clearance service. Neither the Company nor either Joint Bookrunner is liable to bear any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax or any other similar duties or taxes (including, without limitation, other stamp, issue, securities, transfer, registration, capital, or documentary duties or taxes) ("transfer taxes") that arise: (i) if there are any such arrangements (or if any such arrangements arise subsequent to the acquisition by Placees of Placing Shares); (ii) on a sale of Placing Shares; or (iii) otherwise than under the laws of the United Kingdom. Each Placee to whom (or on behalf of whom, or in respect of the person for whom it is participating in the Placing as an agent or nominee) the allocation, allotment, issue or delivery of Placing Shares has given rise to such transfer taxes undertakes to pay such transfer taxes forthwith, and agrees to indemnify on an after-tax basis and hold each Joint Bookrunner and/or the Company and their respective Affiliates (as the case may be) harmless from any such transfer taxes, and all interest, fines or penalties in relation to such transfer taxes. Each Placee should, therefore, take its own advice as to whether any such transfer tax liability arises.

In this Announcement, "after-tax basis" means in relation to any payment made to the Company, either Joint Bookrunner or their respective Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives pursuant to this Announcement where the payment (or any part thereof) is chargeable to any tax, a basis such that the amount so payable shall be increased so as to ensure that after taking into account any tax chargeable (or which would be chargeable but for the availability of any relief unrelated to the loss, damage, cost, charge, expense or liability against which the indemnity is given on such amount (including on the increased amount)) there shall remain a sum equal to the amount that would otherwise have been so payable.

Each Placee, and any person acting on behalf of each Placee, acknowledges and agrees that each Joint Bookrunner and/or any of their Affiliates may, at their absolute discretion, agree to become a Placee in respect of some or all of the Placing Shares. Each Placee acknowledges and is aware that each Joint Bookrunner is receiving a fee in connection with its role in respect of the Placing as detailed in the Placing Agreement.

When a Placee or person acting on behalf of the Placee is dealing with either Joint Bookrunner any money held in an account with such Joint Bookrunner on behalf of the Placee and/or any person acting on behalf of the Placee will not be treated as client money within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the FCA made under the FSMA. The Placee acknowledges that the money will not be subject to the protections conferred by the client money rules; as a consequence, this money will not be segregated from the relevant Joint Bookrunner's money in accordance with the client money rules and will be used by the relevant Joint Bookrunner in the course of its own business; and the Placee will rank only as a general creditor of that Joint Bookrunner.

Time is of the essence as regards each Placee's obligations under this Appendix.

Any document that is to be sent to it in connection with the Placing will be sent at its risk and may be sent to it at any address provided by it to either Joint Bookrunner.

The rights and remedies of each Joint Bookrunner and the Company under the terms and conditions set out in this Appendix are in addition to any rights and remedies which would otherwise be available to each of them and the exercise or partial exercise of one will not prevent the exercise of others.

Each Placee may be asked to disclose, in writing or orally to each Joint Bookrunner: (a) if they are an individual, their nationality; or (b) if they are a discretionary fund manager, the jurisdiction in which the funds are managed or owned.

The price of shares and any income expected from them may go down as well as up and investors may not get back the full amount invested upon disposal of the shares. Past performance is no guide to future performance and persons needing advice should consult an independent financial adviser.

All times and dates in this Announcement may be subject to amendment. The Joint Bookrunners shall notify the Placees and any person acting on behalf of the Placees of any changes.
