Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the New Provexis Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that the admission will become effective and that trading in the New Provexis Shares will commence on or around 17 December 2019 ('Admission').

Following Admission, the Company's enlarged issued share capital will comprise 2,059,321,507 ordinary shares with voting rights. The Company does not hold any shares in treasury. This figure of 2,059,321,507 ordinary shares may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
