Delay on publication of the annual report and accounts
The Company confirms it will not be in a position to publish its Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2021 ("FY21 Results") by the end of June 2022, as originally intended.
The delay reflects the need for the Company's Auditors, CBW Audit Limited, to have sufficient time to complete their audit reviews after fulfilling their audit requests, meaning that the previously agreed audit timetable cannot be met on or prior to 30th June 2022. The Board has concluded there is now insufficient time in order to meet the current deadline for filing these results under the Listing Rules.
As the end of June is the latest time permitted for publication of the FY21 Results under the Financial Conduct Authority's (the "FCA") Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules and the FCA's Listing Rules, the Company has requested the FCA that the listing of the Company's ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each be temporarily suspended with effect from 7:30am on 1st July 2022.
Further announcements will be made as and when appropriate.
