Further details on the Resolutions, and the remaining conditions to Completion, are contained in the Company's AIM Admission Document published on 30 December 2021 ("Admission Document"), which is available on the Company's website.  

Following allotment of the EBT Shares, which is expected later this week, application will be made for the EBT Shares (which consists of 58,066,951 new Ordinary Shares) to be admitted to trading on AIM, which such admission expected to take place on or around 4 February 2022.

Following admission of the EBT Shares, the Company will have 1,306,098,819 Ordinary Shares in issue. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury and accordingly this will be the total number of voting rights in the Company and may be used by Shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Rules and the Transparency Rules.

Unless otherwise defined, capitalised terms in this announcement have the same meaning ascribed to them in the Company's Admission Document.
