The Company has issued an aggregate of 147,928 new ordinary shares of 5p each to satisfy subscriptions under the SIP (the "SIP Shares"). The SIP Shares have been issued at 24p per share in accordance with the rules of the SIP, being the market price at the end of the subscription period.

Application for admission to trading on AIM of the 147,928 SIP Shares has been made and admission of the SIP Shares is expected to take place on or around 6 September 2024. The SIP Shares will rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares in issue. The SIP Shares will represent approximately 0.34% of the Company's enlarged issued share capital on admission.

Total Voting Rights

Following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will consist of 43,234,133 ordinary shares.
