Share Consolidation

The passing of Resolution 9 (above) authorises the Directors to consolidate the shares of the Company.

Following the approval of Resolution 9, the Consolidation Resolution, every 50 ordinary shares of £0.001 each (the "Existing Shares") that are in issue as at 6.00 p.m. (BST) on 14 June 2024 will be consolidated into one new ordinary share of £0.05 (5 pence) (the "New Ordinary Shares").  To effect the consolidation, it is necessary to issue 21 new Existing Shares to SP Angel Corporate Finance LLP (the Company's joint broker) so that, immediately prior to the consolidation, the Company's issued share capital will be exactly divisible by 50.

Other than the change in nominal value, the New Ordinary Shares arising on implementation of the Share Consolidation will have the same rights as the Existing Ordinary Shares, including voting and other rights.

The New Ordinary Shares will be admitted to trading on AIM from 8.00 a.m. (BST) on 17 June 2024 ("Admission") with ISIN GB00BQ1LGQ19 and SEDOL code BQ1LGQ1.

Total Voting Rights

Following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will comprise 38,844,790 New Ordinary Shares with voting rights. This figure of 38,844,790 New Ordinary Shares may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company.
