The new Ordinary Shares are being issued subsequent to the exercise of options over Ordinary Shares by Johan Olivier, Group Chief Financial Officer, at an exercise price of 0.1 pence per Ordinary Share. Subsequent to his exercise of options, Johan Olivier has sold 11,000 Ordinary Shares at a price of 151  pence per Ordinary Share to cover his associated tax costs. His residual holding in the Company following these transactions is 14,000 Ordinary Shares, representing 0.02 per cent. of the  Company's issued share capital.

It is expected that Admission will become effective and trading will commence in the new Ordinary Shares at 8.00 a.m. on 18 March 2024. On Admission the Company's issued share capital will comprise 66,539,060 Ordinary Shares. The Company holds no Ordinary Shares in treasury. Accordingly, the figure of 66,539,060 may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
