The shares being issued are restricted securities as defined in Rule 144 of the US Securities Act of 1933 and have been issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under Rule 701 promulgated under the US Securities Act of 1933.

Accordingly the Company has issued and will apply for 89,969 Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM, which is expected to take place on or around 9 April 2021 ("Admission").

Following Admission the Company's issued share capital will comprise:

· 985,496 shares in the Regulation S stock line ISIN number USU8457D1091 (AIM:SPSC); and

· 44,534,239 shares in the unrestricted line ISIN number US84756T1060 (AIM:SPSY).

In accordance with the provisions of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the FCA ("DTRs"), the issued share capital of Spectra upon Admission is 45,519,735 shares with voting rights attached (one vote per share).
