Whilst Resolution 2 in respect of the directors' remuneration report was passed with the necessary majority, the Board also notes the votes against in relation to this Resolution. The Board notes that the contents of the directors' remuneration report are in line with proposals previously implemented by the Company's Remuneration Committee following a remuneration review undertaken by the Company in 2022 which was subject to a consultation process with the Company's largest shareholders at the time. Following the voting at the AGM, where it is able to, the Board will continue to seek to engage with those Shareholders who are understood to have voted against certain of the Resolutions to understand their views and/or any specific concerns.

Admission and Total Voting Rights

Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the 12,374,115 Conditional Fundraising Shares (comprising the 9,647,972 Conditional Placing Shares, the 1,042,857 Subscription Shares and the 1,683,286 Retail Shares) to be admitted to trading on AIM. Second Admission is expected to take place and dealings in the Conditional Fundraising Shares are expected to commence at 8.00 a.m. on 23 December 2024, at which time it is also expected that the Conditional Fundraising Shares will be enabled for settlement in CREST.

Immediately following Second Admission, the issued share capital of the Company will comprise 68,898,207 Ordinary Shares. Each Ordinary Share has one voting right and no Ordinary Shares are held in treasury. Accordingly, immediately following Second Admission, the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 68,898,207. From Second Admission, this figure may be used by Shareholders as the denominator for the calculation 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.
