Transfer from Nasdaq to OTCQX of American Depositary Shares

Board Appointment

Renalytix (NASDAQ: RNLX) (AIM: RENX), an artificial intelligence-enabled in vitro diagnostics company, focused on optimizing clinical management of kidney disease to drive improved patient outcomes and advance value-based care, today announces its intention to raise a minimum of £10 million gross proceeds through a placing ("Placing") and a subscription ("Subscription") (together, the "Fundraise") of new ordinary shares of £0.0025 each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at an issue price of 9 pence per new Ordinary Share (the "Issue Price") to new and existing institutional and other investors. Oberon Capital (a trading name of Oberon Investments Limited) is acting as sole bookrunner on the Placing.

In addition, certain Directors, the Company Secretary, the Proposed Director and the interim CFO ("Insiders") intend to participate in the Placing ("Insider Participation"). It is intended that the Insider Participation will comprise approximately, £244,000, in aggregate through the issue of 2,712,195 new Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price. The Directors and interim CFO participating in the Fundraise will be subject to a 6 month lock-in period. Further details will be announced as appropriate in due course. The Placing will be effected by way of an accelerated bookbuild (the "Bookbuild"), which will open with immediate effect, and the Placing is subject to the terms and conditions set out in Appendix I to this announcement (which forms part of this announcement, such announcement and Appendix I together being the "Announcement"). A further announcement confirming the closing of the Bookbuild and the aggregate number of new Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Placing and the Subscription is expected to be made in due course.

The Issue Price represents a discount of 2.7 per cent. to the closing middle market price of 9.25 pence per Ordinary Share on 27 September 2024, being the last business day prior to this Announcement.

The Company is also pleased to announce the appointment of Julian Baines MBE as Executive Chairman to the Company to be effective from the General Meeting, as well as the Company's intention to move it's USA listing from Nasdaq to the OTCQX. Further details of which are provided in this Announcement.

Placing Highlights

•	The Company intends to raise a minimum of £10 million gross proceeds (c.US$13.3 million, assuming an exchange rate of £1 = $1.33), before expenses, pursuant to the Fundraise;
•	Insiders are to subscribe for up to 2,712,195 new Ordinary Shares in the Placing, raising approximately £244,000 in aggregate, before expenses.
•	Completion of the Fundraise beyond 39,799,078 Ordinary Shares, is conditional upon shareholder approval to enable the issue of additional new Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price beyond current allotment authorities granted at the general meeting of the Company held on 22 April 2024, which approval is due to be sought at a general meeting of the Company, to be held at such date and time to be fixed and announced by the Company in due course. The General Meeting is anticipated to be sometime this month.
•	The Company's existing cash resources and net proceeds from the Fundraise will be used to drive sales and marketing, to increase revenue with new customers, and for the Development support for electronic health record ("EHR") integrations with new Health Systems, as well as general working capital purposes.

Placing

The Ordinary Shares being issued pursuant to the Placing are to UK investors only.

The shares to be issued pursuant to the Placing (the "Placing Shares") are expected to be issued in two tranches, with the issuance of the first tranche of Ordinary Shares (the "EIS/VCT Placing Shares") to take place on or around 9 October 2024 and the issuance of the remainder of the Placing Shares (the "Non-EIS/VCT Placing Shares") to take place on or around 1 November 2024, subject to shareholder approval of (i) the allotment and issue of the Non-EIS/VCT Placing Shares, (ii) the disapplication of pre-emption rights in respect of the allotment and issue of the Non-EIS/VCT Placing Shares to be obtained by passing certain resolutions ("Resolutions") at a general meeting of the shareholders of the Company (the "General Meeting"), details of which will be announced in due course. The Placing Shares are subject to certain conditions set out in Appendix I to this Announcement.

Subscription

Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the Subscription to investors in the U.S. will be issued pursuant to an exemption from registration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the Subscribers have agreed to subscribe for the Subscription Shares at the Issue Price, conditional on the Resolutions being passed at the General Meeting.

The Subscription Shares, when issued, will be fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares in issue. It is expected that the Subscription Shares will be issued on or around 1 November 2024.

1. Background to and reasons for the Fundraise

The Company has achieved several significant milestones, which the Directors believe have put the Company in a strong position as the business transitions from its research and development phase into the commercial scale up phase. KidneyIntelX™, is the only kidney prognostic test that:

•	is FDA approved;
•	has full Medicare reimbursement granted at $950 per test;
•	has recommendation in KDIGO Clinical Guidelines;
•	is available to approximately 14m US diabetic kidney disease ("DKD") patients; and
•	is able to address the needs of approximately ~260 million DKD patients globally.

Additionally, the Directors have refocused the business to deliver commercial sales growth and have taken various steps, including:

•	the appointment of a new leadership with a track record of commercial success, including the appointment of Howard Doran as President in April 2024;
•	a revamped sales and customer service strategy to sustain new doctor on-boarding and retention;
•	the implementation of a sales-force-led or "direct-to-doctor" strategy, fully scalable under the Company's control; a significant expansion of patient access to testing sites; and
•	a significant expansion of patient access to testing sites; and
•	customer service improvements to facilitate ordering volume.

As a result of the above steps, the Company is demonstrating quarter-over-quarter revenue growth and repeat doctor test ordering.

The Company discloses that AdvantageCare Physicians ("ACPNY"), one of the largest primary and specialty care practices in the New York area, is utilising kidneyintelX.dkd testing for prognosis of patients with diabetic kidney disease. The Company has begun to receive and process test orders from ACPNY this month.

The Directors believe that the proceeds of the Fundraise will take the Company to profitability and cash flow break-even in approximately 2 years. The Company is also taking other active steps to ensure the Company's success, which are outlined in detail below.

2. Debt restructuring

2.1 Convertible Bond

The Company has successfully renegotiated the terms of the £8.7 million amortizing senior convertible bond (the "Convertible Bond") held by a fund advised by Heights Capital Ireland LLC (the "Convertible Bond Investor"). Under the new terms, the Convertible Bond will be repaid and restructured as follows:

•	Approximately £2.75 million of the Convertible Bond will be capitalised via issue to the Convertible Bond Investor of Ordinary Shares (the "Heights Conversion Shares"), at the Issue Price;
•	in the event that the Company were to raise more than £12.5 million (net of costs) through the Fundraise, the next £2.5 million raised in the Fundraise (above the £12.5 million (net of costs)) would be payable to the Convertible Bond Investor ("Tranche 2 Payment"); and
•	the balance of the Convertible Bond will be restructured as a new unsecured convertible bond (the "New Convertible Bond").

The Heights Conversion Shares to be issued to the Convertible Bond Investor will represent up to 9.99 per cent. of the Enlarged Issued Share Capital.

The Convertible Bond Investor will be subject to the same lock-in provisions as the Directors and certain other significant investors, being 6 months, and in the event that the Tranche 2 Payment exceeds £2 million, the Convertible Bond Investor will agree to extend its lock-in period for a further 3 month period.

The New Convertible Bond will accrue interest at a rate of 5.5 per cent. per annum, if paid in cash, or 7.5 per cent. per annum, if rolled into the principal amount, at the discretion of the Company. The New Convertible Bond will have a maturity date of 31 July 2029 and may not be converted before 1 April 2026 except in the event that the Company undertakes a further qualifying equity issuance in the future, in which case the New Convertible Bond may be converted at the placing price thereunder (which will exclude securities properly issued to employees and other staff of the Company for bona fide remuneration and incentivisation purposes).

The New Convertible Bond can be redeemed as follows:

1.	at any time from 1 April 2026, a holder of the New Convertible Bond can redeem any or all of the New Convertible Bond at a conversion price (subject to usual adjustment provisions) equal to 250% of the Issue Price;
2.	in the event of a change of control of the Company or if the Ordinary Shares cease to be admitted to trading on AIM or the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange (or if dealing in the Ordinary Shares is suspended, other than in connection with a corporate reorganisation, for a period of 60 dealing days or more) or in the event that less than 20% of the Company's issued share capital (including the Company's American Depositary Shares ("ADS")) comprises free float, a holder of the New Convertible Bond can require the Company to redeem all but not some of their New Convertible Bond at a conversion price equal to 120% of the principal amount of the New Convertible Bond (together with accrued but unpaid interest); and
3.	at any time, the Company can elect to redeem all, but not some, of the principal amount of the New Convertible Bond at a price equal to the greater of (i) the principal amount and all accrued but unpaid interest and (ii) the 'parity value' of the New Convertible Bond. For this purpose, the parity value is the product of: (a) such number of Ordinary Shares as would have been issued on conversion and the mean volume weighted average price of an Ordinary Share on the ten consecutive dealing days preceding the date on which such redemption is to occur.

2.2 Accounts Payable

An accounts payable balance with a professional adviser of approximately $850,000 (the "Advisor Accounts Payable Balance") has been restructured such that 50% of the outstanding balance ($425,000) will convert to equity at the Issue Price as part of the Conversion Shares. The remaining 50% will be repaid as follows:

•	$325,000 will be converted to a long term unsecured note, bearing interest at 5% p.a., rolled into the principal amount of the note. The principal and interest will be repaid on the earlier of: (i) 5 years from the initiation of the note; or (ii) such earlier time as the Company is acquired by another company. The Company has the right to redeem the note at any time (the "Advisor Loan Note"); and
•	the remaining balance will be settled in cash from operations following the closing of the Fundraising.

Additionally, other accounts payable creditors to the value of approximately £650,000 have agreed to write-off their balances (the "Creditor Write-offs").

The Company believes that the restructuring of the Convertible Bond and the Advisor Accounts Payable Balance, the creation of the New Convertible Bond and the Advisor Loan Note and the Creditor Write-offs, along with some ancillary debt restructuring, will substantially reduce the Company's monthly cash burn and the Company estimates that this will remove more than 80 percent of the total forecasted cash obligations of the Company over the next 3 years (approximately £485,000 per month).

The Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the debt restructuring in paragraph 2.1 and 2.2 (the "Conversion Shares") will be issued as part of the Second Admission.

3. Nasdaq delisting and transfer to OTCQX

As previously announced by the Company, the Company received written notice on 21 June 2024, from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, notifying the Company that it has not complied with Nasdaq's minimum closing bid price requirement for the Company's ADSs and the requirement to maintain a minimum market value of listed securities of $50,000,000, for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market ("Nasdaq"). The Company formally submitted a hearing request on 28 June 2024 to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Nasdaq Panel"), which stayed the suspension of the Company's securities pending the Nasdaq Panel's decision. The appeals hearing was held on 30 July 2024 and following a review of the Company's operating and financing plans, on 23 August 2024, the Nasdaq Panel responded with their decision to grant the Company additional time to regain compliance until 25 October 2024.

The Directors have considered the benefits of the Nasdaq listing against the cost of maintaining the listing and have decided to downlist the ADSs from Nasdaq, and apply to have the ADSs quoted on the OTCQX ^® Best Market, which is the top-tier of the markets operated by OTC Markets Group ("OTC"). Accordingly, the Company expects to file a Form 25 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on or about 7 October 2024, and as a result, the Company expects that trading of its ADSs on Nasdaq will be suspended on or about 3 October 2024 and it's last official trading day on Nasdaq will be on or about 7 October 2024. Additionally, at its next testing date for Foreign Private Issuer ("FPI") status, the Company expects to qualify as an FPI. The Company anticipates that the transfer to OTC and acquisition of FPI status will provide significant savings of up to £1.9 million p.a. Given the cost savings from the debt restructuring, set out in paragraph 2, and the Nasdaq delisting referenced above, the Directors believe the Company's over-all cash burn rate can be reduced to £560,000 or less per month by the end of FY25.

The Company has also terminated its "At The Market" ADS Programme and cancelled its block admission on AIM for up to 51,356,400 new Ordinary Shares which became effective on 22 May 2024.

4. Use of Proceeds

The Company intends that the net proceeds of the Fundraise will be predominantly used for sales and marketing and general corporate and administrative expenses. Additionally, the Company will use approximately 10 per cent. of the net proceeds for development support of EHR integrations with new health systems.

5. Board Appointment

The Board are pleased to announce the appointment of Julian Baines MBE as Executive Chairman to the Company, to be effective from the General Meeting and subject to contract and completion of regulatory due diligence. Julian was the Non-Executive Chairman of the Company from March 2018 to June 2020. Christopher Mills, currently Non-Executive Chairman, intends to remain as a Non-Executive Director following Julian's appointment.

Julian has significant experience in the life science industry and was the CEO of EKF Diagnostics Holdings Plc ("EKF") and BBI Holdings plc. Julian rejoined the executive team at EKF as Executive Chairman on a short-term basis in February 2023. Julian is also currently Non-Executive Chairman of Verici Dx plc. Before joining EKF, he undertook a management buyout at BBI in 2000, a flotation on AIM in 2004 and was responsible for selling the business to Alere Inc. (now part of Abbott Laboratories) in 2008 for c. £85 million.

6. Current Trading and Future Prospects

The Company will later today announce its audited US GAAP financial results for the fiscal year ended 30 June 2024. Audited Full Year Fiscal 2024 Results in IFRS will be issued in due course.

Renalytix IFRS preliminary unaudited results records a total of $2.3 million in revenue for the financial year ended 30 June 2024 ("FY24") which was comprised of $2.1 million in revenue related to testing services, as well as $0.2 million related to pharmaceutical services revenue. Loss before tax, including loss from impairment of intangibles of $10.2 million and fair value adjustments to convertible debt of $3.75 million, for FY24 was $44.9 million. As at 30 June 2024, the Company has total assets of $7.3 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $4.7 million. Total net liabilities are negative at $8.5 million, and total equity and liabilities are $7.3 million.

There will be differences between US GAAP net losses and the IFRS preliminary unaudited results mainly relating to accounting treatment of impairment and amortisation of intangibles made under IFRS compared to US GAAP. A reconciliation will be provided in the IFRS audited annual report.

The IFRS preliminary unaudited results currently shows a reduction in net assets, which is as a result of a prudent accounting approach to impairment of the investment in the Company's subsidiaries and intangibles, and is deemed to be a serious loss of capital. The Directors note that this does not impact the current strategy of the Company and, following the Fundraise, the Company will be in a solvent and strong cash and balance sheet position. There is no cash or cashflow effect to these accounting adjustments and the Directors believe that following completion of the Fundraise, this will take the Company to profitability and cash flow break-even in approximately two years.

Turning to current trading, in 2024 new commercial leadership drove a series of customer improvements that are demonstrating adoption and repeat ordering. These include a significant expansion in patient blood draw options with Quest Dx and Exam One, a simplified test order requisition form to reduce doctor workload and a market informed Customer Services and Billing offering which improves end-to-end user experiences.

The Directors believe that the Company's commercial strategy is now delivering consistent and scalable results, with 400 direct-to-doctor orders received in Q3 2024 from 125 doctors. The Company expects the number of ordering doctors to increase to 225 in the fourth calendar quarter of 2024.

Additionally, the Directors believe the Company is reaching a growth inflection point with a major customer launch to approximately 10,000 patients and 140 new ordering doctors starting in September 2024.

Having considered a number of assumptions, the Directors currently have a reasonable belief that the Company has the potential to generate revenue of approximately $3.2 million in FY25, $8.5 million in FY26 and $17.5 million in FY27 comprising a mix Services, Enterprise and direct-to-doctor revenue, but with the vast majority of revenue being driven from direct-to-doctor growth. These estimates have been based on a 20 per cent. average quarterly projected growth, which excludes international sales, and is based on the relationship between the number of sales representatives and billable testing volume.

Bookbuild

The Bookrunner will today commence an accelerated bookbuilding process to determine demand for participation in the Placing by potential Placees. The Bookrunner 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

The Bookrunner has entered into the Placing Agreement with the Company under which the Bookrunner has agreed, on the terms and subject to the conditions set out therein, to undertake to use its reasonable endeavours to procure, as the Company's placing agent and bookrunner for the purpose of the Placing, subscribers for the Placing Shares at the Placing Price.

The final number of Placing Shares will be decided at the close of the Bookbuild following the execution of the terms of the Placing by the Company and the Bookrunner (the "Placing Term Sheet").

The Placing Agreement contains customary undertakings and warranties given by the Company to the Bookrunner including as to the accuracy of information contained in this Announcement and to be contained in the Placing Document, to matters relating to the Company and its business and a customary indemnity given by the Company to the Bookrunner in respect of liabilities arising out of or in connection with the Placing, the First Admission and/or Second Admission (if applicable).

The Placing is conditional upon, inter alia:

the Company complying with its obligations under the Placing Agreement as they fall to be performed prior to Admission; and

the obligations of the Bookrunner under the Placing Agreement not having been terminated in accordance with its terms prior to First Admission in respect of the First Tranche Placing shares or Second Admission in respect of the Second Tranche Placing Shares.

The number of Placing Shares will be determined following completion of the Bookbuild as set out in this Announcement.

The Placing Shares will, as from the date when they are issued, be fully paid or credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing issued Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared (if any), made or paid on or in respect of the Ordinary Shares after the relevant date of issue of the Placing Shares.

Lock up

As part of the Placing, the Company has agreed that it will not issue or sell any Ordinary Shares for a period of 90 days after the date of this announcement without the prior written consent of the Bookrunner (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). That agreement is subject to certain customary carve-outs agreed between the Bookrunner and the Company.

Enterprise Investment Scheme ("EIS") and Venture Capital Trusts ("VCT")

The EIS/VCT Placing Shares to be issued pursuant to the Placing are intended to rank as "eligible shares" for the purposes of EIS and VCT investors and a "qualifying holding" for the purposes of an investment by VCTs, each pursuant to the relevant respective sections of the Income Tax Act 2007 (the "VCT Legislation").

The Company has obtained a written opinion from specialist tax advisers confirming that the EIS/VCT Placing Shares will rank as "eligible shares" for the purposes of the EIS and will be capable of being a "qualifying holding" for the purposes of VCT Legislation. However, no assurance has been obtained from HMRC that the Company is a qualifying company for the purposes of the EIS or that a subscription for EIS/VCT Placing Shares is a qualifying holding.

The status of the EIS/VCT Placing Shares as a qualifying holding for EIS and VCT purposes respectively will be conditional (amongst other things) on the qualifying conditions being satisfied throughout the period of ownership. There can be no assurance that the Company will conduct its activities in a way that will secure or retain qualifying status for VCT and/or EIS purposes (and indeed circumstances may arise where the Directors of the Company believe that the interests of the Company and the Group are not served by seeking to retain such status).

Neither the Company nor the Directors have given any warranties or undertakings that EIS reliefs or VCT reliefs will be granted in respect of the EIS/VCT Placing Shares. Neither the Company nor the Directors have given any warranties or undertakings that EIS reliefs or VCT reliefs, if granted, will not be withdrawn.

Application for admission to trading

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the First Admission and the Second Admission respectively . It is expected that settlement of the First Tranche Placing Shares will take place on or around 9 October 2024 and First Admission will become effective and dealings in the First Tranche Placing Shares will commence at that time. It is expected that, subject to the passing of the Resolutions at the General Meeting, settlement of the Second Tranche Placing Shares will take place within two trading days after the General Meeting and that the Second Admission will become effective and dealings in the Second Tranche Placing Shares will commence at that time.

6.	The timing of the closing of the Bookbuild will be at the discretion of the Bookrunner. The Company reserves the right (upon agreement with the Bookrunner) to reduce or seek to increase the amount to be raised pursuant to the Placing, in its absolute discretion.
7.	Each Placee's allocation will be confirmed to Placees orally or by email by the Bookrunner, and evidenced by a trade confirmation or contract note which will be dispatched as soon as practicable thereafter. The terms of this Appendix will be deemed incorporated by reference therein. The oral or email confirmation 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 Bookrunner and the Company, under which it agrees to acquire the number of Placing Shares allocated to it at the Placing Price on the terms and conditions set out in this Appendix and in accordance with the Company's Articles. Except as required by law or regulation, no press release or other announcement will be made by the 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. The Company and the Bookrunner will determine, in their absolute discretion, the allocation of Placing Shares between First Tranche Placing Shares and Second Tranche Placing Shares.

9.	Subject to paragraphs 5 and 6 above, the Bookrunner may choose to accept bids, either in whole or in part, on the basis of allocations determined at their discretion (in agreement with the Company) and may scale down any bids for this purpose on such basis as they may determine (in agreement with the Company). The Bookrunner may also, notwithstanding paragraphs 5 and 6 above, subject to the prior consent of the Company: (a) allocate Placing Shares after the time of any initial allocation to any person submitting a bid after that time; and (b) allocate Placing Shares after the Bookbuild has closed to any person submitting a bid after that time.
10.	The allocation of Placing Shares to Non-US Placees shall be conditional on the execution by each Non-US Placee of a Non-US Investor Letter in the form provided to it to the Bookrunner or its affiliates.
11.	The allocation of Placing Shares to US Placees shall be conditional on the execution by each US Placee of a US Investor Letter in the form provided to it to the Bookrunner or its affiliates.
12.	Each Placee will have an immediate, separate, irrevocable and binding obligation, owed to the Bookrunner, to pay in cleared funds immediately on the settlement date, in accordance with the registration and settlement requirements set out below, an amount equal to the product of the Placing Price and the number of Placing Shares such Placee has agreed to take up and the Company has agreed to allot.
13.	Irrespective of the time at which a Placee's allocation pursuant to the Placing is confirmed, settlement for all Placing Shares to be acquired pursuant to the Placing will be required to be made at the times and on the basis explained below under "Registration and Settlement".
14.	All obligations under the Placing will be subject to fulfilment or (where applicable) waiver of, inter alia, the conditions referred to below under "Conditions of the Placing" and to the Placing not being terminated on the basis referred to below under "Right to terminate under the Placing Agreement".
15.	By participating in the Placing, each Placee will agree 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.
16.	To the fullest extent permissible by law, neither the Company, the Bookrunner or any of their respective affiliates shall have any responsibility or liability (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) to any Placee (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise) under these terms and conditions. In particular, none of the Company, the Bookrunner or any of their respective affiliates shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort or otherwise and including, to the fullest extent permissible by law, any fiduciary duties) in respect of the Bookrunner's conduct of the Bookbuild or Placing. Each Placee acknowledges and agrees that the Company is responsible for the allotment of the Placing Shares to the Placees and the Bookrunner shall have no liability to the Placees for the failure of the Company to fulfil those obligations.

The rights and obligations of the Placees shall terminate only in the circumstances described in these terms and conditions and in the Placing Agreement and will not be subject to termination by the Placee or any prospective Placee at any time or in any circumstances. By participating in the Placing, Placees agree that the exercise by the Bookrunner of any right of termination or other discretion under the Placing Agreement shall be within the absolute discretion of the Bookrunner, and that it need not make any reference to Placees and that it shall have no liability to Placees whatsoever in connection with any such exercise or decision not to exercise. Placees will have no rights against the Bookrunner, the Company or any of their respective directors or employees under the Placing Agreement pursuant to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 (as amended).

No admission document or prospectus

The Placing Shares are being offered to a limited number of specifically invited persons only and will not be offered in such a way as to require an admission document or prospectus in the United Kingdom or in any other jurisdiction. No offering document, admission document or prospectus has been or will be submitted to be approved by the FCA or submitted to the London Stock Exchange in relation to the Placing, and Placees' commitments will be made solely on the basis of the information contained in the Announcement (including the Appendices) and the UK Public Information. Each Placee, by accepting a participation in the Placing, agrees that the content of this Announcement is exclusively the responsibility of the Company and confirms that it has neither received nor relied on any other information (other than the UK Public Information), representation, warranty, or statement made by or on behalf of the Company, the Bookrunner, or any other person and neither the Bookrunner, the Company 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 and, if given or made, such information, representation, warranty or statement must not be relied upon as having been authorised by the Bookrunner, the Company, or their respective officers, directors, consultants, employees or agents. 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. Neither the Company nor the Bookrunner is making any undertaking or warranty to any Placee regarding the legality of an investment in the Placing Shares by such Placee under any legal, investment or similar laws or regulations. Each Placee should not consider any information in this Announcement to be legal, tax or business advice. Each Placee should consult its own solicitor, tax adviser and financial adviser for independent legal, tax and financial advice regarding an investment in the Placing Shares. Nothing in this paragraph shall exclude the liability of any person for fraudulent misrepresentation.

Registration and settlement

Provided payment in full has been made, definitive legended share certificate(s) in respect of the Placing Shares shall be prepared by Link Group (the "Registrar") as soon as possible following the First Admission or Second Admission, as applicable. Interest is chargeable daily on payments not received from Placees on the due date in accordance with the arrangements set out above at the rate of two percentage points above the Sterling Overnight Index Average (SONIA) as determined by the Bookrunner.

Each Placee is deemed to agree that, if it does not comply with these obligations, the Bookrunner may sell any or all of the Placing Shares allocated to that Placee on such Placee's behalf and retain from the proceeds, for the Bookrunner's account and benefit (as agent for the Company), an amount equal to the aggregate amount owed by the Placee plus any interest due. The relevant Placee will, however, remain liable and shall indemnify the Bookrunner (as agent for the Company) on demand for any shortfall below the aggregate amount owed by it and may be required to bear any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax or securities transfer tax (together with any interest or penalties) which may arise upon the sale of such Placing Shares on such Placee's behalf. By communicating a bid for Placing Shares to the Bookrunner, each Placee confers on the Bookrunner all such authorities and powers necessary to carry out any such sale and agrees to ratify and confirm all actions which the Bookrunner lawfully takes in pursuance of such sale.

If Placing Shares are to be delivered to a custodian or settlement agent, Placees should ensure that the trade confirmation or contract note 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 stamp duty reserve tax or securities transfer tax.

It has relied upon its own examination and due diligence of the Company and its associates taken as a whole, and the terms of the Placing, including the merits and risks involved;
40.	acknowledges that its commitment to subscribe for Placing Shares on the terms set out herein and in the trade confirmation or contract note will continue notwithstanding any amendment that may in future be made to the terms of the Placing and that Placees will have no right to be consulted or require that their consent be obtained with respect to the Company's conduct of the Placing;

43.	to the fullest extent permitted by law, it acknowledges and agrees to the disclaimers contained in the Announcement including these Appendices.

The representations, warranties, acknowledgments and undertakings contained in this Appendix are given to the Bookrunner and the Company and are irrevocable and shall not be capable of termination in any circumstances.

The agreement to settle a Placee's subscription (and/or the subscription of a person for whom such Placee is contracting as agent) free of stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax depends on the settlement relating only to a subscription by it and/or such person direct from the Company for the Placing Shares in question. Such agreement assumes that the Placing Shares are not being subscribed for in connection with arrangements to issue depositary receipts or to transfer the Placing Shares into a clearance service. If there are any such arrangements, or the settlement relates to any other subsequent dealing in the Placing Shares, stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax may be payable, for which neither the Company or the Bookrunner will be responsible, and the 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 UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax undertakes to pay such UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax forthwith and to indemnify on an after-tax basis and to hold harmless the Company and the Bookrunner in the event that any of the Company or the Bookrunner has incurred any such liability to UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. If this is the case, each Placee should seek its own advice and notify the Bookrunner accordingly.

In addition, Placees should note that they will be liable for any stamp duty and all other stamp, issue, securities, transfer, registration, documentary or other duties or taxes (including any interest, fines or penalties relating thereto) payable outside the UK by them or any other person on the subscription by them of any Placing Shares or the agreement by them to subscribe for any Placing Shares.

Each Placee, and any person acting on behalf of the Placee, acknowledges that the Bookrunner does not owe any fiduciary or other duties to any Placee in respect of any representations, warranties, undertakings or indemnities in the Placing Agreement.

When a Placee or person acting on behalf of the Placee is dealing with the Bookrunner, any money held in an account with the 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 Bookrunner's money in accordance with the client money rules and will be used by the Bookrunner in the course of its own business and the Placee will rank only as a general creditor of the Bookrunner.

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

Past performance is no guide to future performance and persons needing advice should consult an independent financial adviser.
