·      Proposed Retail Offer to raise up to £0.19 million, via the Bookbuild Platform, for which a separate announcement will be made shortly.

·      The Issue Price represents a discount of approximately 12.2% to the closing mid-market price of an Ordinary Share of 10.25 pence on 16 April 2025 (being the latest practicable date prior to the release of this Announcement).

·      The net proceeds of the Fundraising will be used to advance the Company's strategic partnership with the Max Planck Institute, business development workstreams, establishing corporate collaboration, expansion of the Company's Integration Solutions business and for general working capital purposes.

·      The Fundraising is conditional, inter alia, upon approval of the Resolutions to be proposed to Shareholders at the General            Meeting. The Circular convening the General Meeting will be sent to shareholders in due course.

·     Appointment of Allenby Capital Limited as the Company's Joint Broker, working alongside Oberon Capital, with immediate effect. 

John Wood, CEO of Gelion, said: "We are grateful that the significant progress we have made over recent months has been recognised by new and existing investors willing to support our continued growth. As a team, we are determined to leverage our outstanding technology, excellent people and increasing industry recognition to advance sulfur battery technology as the new global standard in renewable energy storage. Recent testing suggests that, coupled with the Max Planck Institute, our technology can match and exceed the minimum performance required to be compelling for a wide range of important industry applications, particularly given the high-rate charge/discharge and cycle-life performance being achieved. We are encouraged that together we are setting about to overcome historical hurdles and create a lithium-sulfur battery that is capable of broad commercial application. Our next job is to maximise the strong foundation we have created and prove the real-world applicability of our technology while attracting commercial partners who can bring our mission to life."

The Placing 

The Placing will be effected by way of an accelerated bookbuild, which will be launched immediately following this Announcement, in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the Appendix to this Announcement, and will be available to new and existing eligible institutional investors. Members of the public are not eligible to take part in the Placing.

A placing agreement has been entered into between the Company, Oberon and Allenby in connection with the Placing. Further details on the Placing, which is subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Appendix to this Announcement, are set out below.

Whilst the Company has already conducted a focused marketing exercise amongst certain Shareholders and other investors, and the Company is pleased with the level of indicative support received to date, there can be no certainty at this time that the Placing will be successful.

The timing for the close of the accelerated bookbuild and allocation of the Placing Shares shall be at the absolute discretion of Oberon and Allenby, in consultation with the Company. The final number of Placing Shares to be issued pursuant to the Placing will be agreed by Oberon and Allenby and the Company at the close of the accelerated bookbuild. The result of the Placing will be announced as soon as practicable thereafter. The Placing is not being underwritten.

Strand Hanson is acting as nominated adviser in connection with the Placing. Oberon and Allenby are acting as joint bookrunners in connection with the Placing.

Further information on the Fundraising, including the expected timetable of principal events, is set out below. This Announcement should be read in its entirety.

CONTACTS

Background to and reasons for the Fundraising

Over the past 12 months, the Company has advanced its technology platform and refined its business model, with the aim of enhancing its industry relevance and positioning Gelion as a strategic partner for potential supply chain collaborations.  In particular, the Company has made significant advancements since December 2024, the time of its last equity fundraise, including:

·      demonstrating that its proprietary Gen 3 Sulfur Cathode material is viable to be paired with solid state electrolyte material toward full solid-state applications, meaning the Company has a technology with the potential to complement and establish a significant market presence alongside traditional Li-ion cathode chemistries[1];

·      being awarded three patents in the US in relation to the Group's core Lithium-Sulfur technology, alongside the acceptance of one of its recycling patent applications by the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), further strengthening and protecting the Group's intellectual property portfolio[2];

·      an additional 7.6% (£0.5 million) of cost savings building on the c. £1.1 million in savings realised over the last 18 months, bringing the total estimated decrease in costs to 21% from the FY23 costs and securing a further £100,000 grant for Phase 2, plus a £75,000 booster grant for the Recycling business;

·      entering into a strategic partnership with the prestigious Max Planck Institute (MPI), allowing Gelion to leverage the institute's breakthrough in next-generation Sulfur batteries, accelerating Gelion's pathway to commercialisation[3]. As part of these arrangements, the Company has also appointed renowned chemical scientist, Professor Dr. Dr. h.c. Markus Antonietti, as Technology Adviser;

·      successfully integrating MPI's technology into sodium-sulfur coin cells, the industry standard platform for battery testing with exceptional results. These include high power (fast charge - 6-minute charge and 6-minute discharge cycles) and evidence to support MPI testing which achieved over 1,000 charge/discharge cycles with industry-standard capacity retention under one-hour charge and one-hour discharge cycles. These outcomes suggest that the combined Gelion and MPI technology has the potential to overcome the key challenges that have historically hindered the commercialisation of sulfur-based batteries;

·      agreed the terms of a Materials Testing Agreement (MTA) with a tier-one battery manufacturer and expects to announce the execution shortly. This agreement underscores the recognition of Gelion's innovative technology by a leading industry player and represents a crucial step towards large-scale adoption of our sulfur battery solutions; and

·      completing factory acceptance testing for the 4MWh battery energy storage systems provided to Group Energy Pty Ltd (part of the larger Borg Group), allowing for recognition of c. £780,000 of revenue by April/early May 2025, representing 80% of the order value, with the balance to be recognised on successful commissioning expected to occur in June 2025[4].

This latter development, in conjunction with the stringent cost-cutting measures as set out in the announcement of the Company's interim results to 31 December 2024 on 19 March 2025, mean that the Directors expect to report revenue of £2.77 million for the financial year ending 30 June 2025 (a 34.7% increase since FY23 and 39.1% since FY24) and total adjusted operating expenditure⁵ of £6.36 million (a decrease of 20.4% since FY23 and 6.6% since FY24). This is expected to result in a narrowing of the Adjusted EBITDA[5] loss for the financial year ending 30 June 2025 to £4.28 million, an improvement of 27.8% on FY23 and 11.2% on FY24.

All of these achievements sit alongside Gelion's existing base of scientific excellence, which has provided the Company with a solid platform from which to pursue the Lithium-Sulfur and Sodium-Sulfur battery space. Indeed, the Company currently benefits from over 220 global IP protections across the battery technology supply chain, facilities in Australia (National Innovation Centre) and the UK (GSK Carbon Neutral Labs), and a highly experienced and dedicated team.

The Directors therefore believe that the Company is well-positioned to become a solutions provider of significant influence in the Sulfur battery materials space. The Directors believe that Sulfur is the only geographically agnostic battery cathode material combining relatively low cost with natural abundance. Gelion's current technology supports multiple anode chemistries, including lithium-metal, silicon, and solid-state, while the collaboration with MPI further enables compatibility with sodium anodes. Sodium, like sulfur, is also a geographically agnostic, low-cost, and abundant material. Together, these features position the Gelion platform strongly for future scalability. As global demand for energy storage continues to grow, the Board considers that this chemistry has the potential to become the battery technology of choice.

2 - Projected cost at GWh p.a. scale production, Faraday Institution, Faraday Insights - Issue 8, July 2020.

Gelion's technology allows it to position itself at the heart of this growing industry sub-sector. Alongside Sulfur cathodes' natural qualities of being lightweight, low-cost, abundant and environmentally friendly, Gelion's breakthroughs also allow them to have high power (fast charge) and have long-lasting applications (high cycle-life).

5 - See the Company's RNS announcement dated 12 February 2025.

Gelion expects to leverage these advantages by pursuing a capital light commercial model, thereby maximising adoption and net margin. Gelion is not a battery manufacturer; instead, the Company intends to sell materials directly to cell makers, licence its technology to cell manufacturers and toll manufacturing, whilst maintaining the Gelion Integration Solutions business unit to continue to generate revenues and margin (as evidenced above).

These technological and commercial advancements, as well as the business model, have led to a noticeable strengthening of relationships with customers and supply chain partners across Australia, Asia, Europe, the UK and the US.

The Company is encouraged by its ongoing discussions with major industry participants and is seeking to leverage these to secure strategic investment in the medium term. The Board is confident that the net proceeds of the Fundraising will provide sufficient working capital to allow the Company to progress and conclude these strategic investment negotiations satisfactorily within the next six months. However, there can of course be no certainty that such a transaction will materialise, or that it will be offered on terms that are acceptable to the Company.

In the meantime, the Company has agreed terms for a R&D credit facility of approximately £0.7 million, reflecting Gelion's R&D spend between July 2024 and February 2025; however, it has not executed this agreement as at the date of this Announcement.

However, the Board is conscious that its current forecasted costs over the next 12 months are in excess of its cash position as enhanced by the Fundraising. The Board therefore continues to seek additional, alternative funding sources, including proposed strategic investments through equity or debt, including seeking independent investment in incubated business units. Notwithstanding, the Company had cash resources of approximately £1.88 million as at 31 March 2025, which will increase to approximately £3.64 upon receipt of the net proceeds of the Placing and Subscription. It is expected that this latter sum will be sufficient until approximately January 2026.

As set out in the Company's interim report to 31 December 2024, announced on 19 March 2025, the Company has stated a requirement to raise additional funds by June 2025. Accordingly, in the event that the Fundraising does not complete, the Company would need to seek urgent alternative sources of funding. There can be no guarantee that the Company would be able to procure alternative sources of potential funding, which may or may not be on similar commercial terms to the Fundraising, and may not be obtainable on a timely basis, or at all. Should the Fundraising not complete and alternative sources of capital not be obtained, the Directors expect to engage appropriate advisers to assess its financial position with regard to its solvency status. At present, the Directors consider that the Fundraising represents the only viable opportunity to raise the capital required, given the state of the global financial markets and the Company's inability to secure asset-backed lending.

Use of proceeds

The expected application of net funds received by the Company pursuant to the Fundraising is summarised as follows:

·      Scale-up of materials under the Company's strategic partnership with the Max Planck Institute

·      Business development workstreams

·      Establishing corporate collaboration

·      Expansion of the Company's Integration Solutions business

·      General working capital purposes

Admission

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II"); Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the "MiFID II Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Placing Shares have been subject to a product approval process which has determined that the Placing Shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of: (A) retail investors; (B) investors who meet the criteria of professional clients; and (C) eligible counterparties (each as defined in MiFID II); and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II (the "EU Target Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the EU Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the Placing Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the Placing Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the Placing Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The EU Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the offer. Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the EU Target Market Assessment, the Joint Bookrunners will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties. For the avoidance of doubt, the EU Target Market Assessment does not constitute an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II, or a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the Placing Shares. Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Placing Shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.

Persons (including, without limitation, nominees and trustees) who have a contractual right or other legal obligations to forward a copy of the Terms and Conditions (or any part of them) should seek appropriate advice before taking any action.

These Terms and Conditions apply to persons making an offer to acquire Placing Shares under the Placing. Each Placee which confirms its agreement to the relevant Joint Bookrunner to subscribe for Placing Shares under the Placing hereby agrees with the Joint Bookrunners and the Company that it will be bound by these Terms and Conditions and will be deemed to have accepted them.

Each Placee irrevocably represents, warrants, undertakes, agrees and acknowledges (amongst other things) to the Company and the Joint Bookrunners that:

3.         it understands (or if acting for the account of another person, such person has confirmed that such person understands) and agrees to comply with the resale and transfer restrictions set out in these Terms and Conditions; and

4.         except as otherwise permitted by the Company and subject to any available exemptions from applicable securities laws, it (and any account referred to in paragraph 2 above) is outside the United States acquiring the Placing Shares in offshore transactions as defined in and in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.

No prospectus

The Placing Shares are being offered to a limited number of specifically invited persons only and will not be offered in such a way as to require any prospectus or other offering document to be published.  No prospectus or other offering document has been or will be submitted to be approved by (i) the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") or (ii) any competent authority of any Relevant Member State, in relation to the Placing or the Placing Shares and Placees' commitments will be made solely on the basis of the information contained in this Announcement and any information publicly announced through a Regulatory Information Service (as defined in the AIM Rules for Companies (the "AIM Rules")) by or on behalf of the Company on or prior to the date of these Terms and Conditions (the "Publicly Available Information") and subject to any further terms set forth in writing in any contract note sent to an individual Placee.

Each Placee, by participating in the Placing, agrees that the content of this Announcement is exclusively the responsibility of the Company and confirms that it has neither received nor relied on any information (other than the Publicly Available Information), representation, warranty or statement made by or on behalf of the Joint Bookrunners or the Company or any other person and neither of the Joint Bookrunners, the Company nor any other person acting on such person's behalf nor any of their respective affiliates has or shall have any liability for any Placee's decision to participate in the Placing based on any other information, representation, warranty or statement.  Each Placee acknowledges and agrees that it has relied on its own investigation of the business, financial or other position of the Company in accepting a participation in the Placing.  No Placee should consider any information in this Announcement or these Terms and Conditions to be legal, tax, business or other advice.  Nothing in this paragraph shall exclude the liability of any person for fraudulent misrepresentation.

Details of the Placing Agreement and the Placing Shares

The Joint Bookrunners have entered into the Placing Agreement with the Company pursuant to which, on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in such Placing Agreement, each of the Joint Bookrunners as agent for and on behalf of the Company, have agreed severally, and not jointly or jointly and severally, to use their reasonable endeavours to procure Placees for the Placing Shares at the Issue Price. The Placing is not being underwritten by either of the Joint Bookrunners

The Placing Shares will, when issued, be subject to the memorandum and articles of association of the Company and credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing issued Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid in respect of such Ordinary Shares after the date of issue of the Placing Shares.

Application for admission to trading

Application(s) will be made to the London Stock Exchange for admission of the Placing Shares to trading on AIM.

It is expected that Admission will take place on the Admission Date and that dealings in the Placing Shares on AIM will commence at the same time.

Principal terms of the Placing

1.             Allenby is acting as joint broker and joint bookrunner to the Placing, as agent for and on behalf of the Company.

2.             Oberon is acting as joint broker and joint bookrunner to the Placing, as agent for and on behalf of the Company.

3.             Participation in the Placing is by invitation only and will only be available to persons who may lawfully be, and are, invited by a Joint Bookrunner to participate. The Joint Bookrunners and any of their affiliates are entitled to participate in the Placing as principal.

4.             Each Placee's allocation will be confirmed to Placees orally, or in writing (which can include email), by the relevant Joint Bookrunner and a trade confirmation or contract note will be dispatched as soon as possible thereafter. The relevant Joint Bookrunner's oral or written confirmation will give rise to an irrevocable, legally binding commitment by that Placee, in favour of the Joint Bookrunners and the Company, under which it agrees to acquire by subscription the number of Placing Shares allocated to it at the Issue Price and otherwise on these Terms and Conditions.  Except with the consent of the relevant Joint Bookrunner, such commitment will not be capable of variation or revocation.

5.             The Issue Price is payable to the relevant Joint Bookrunner (as agent for the Company) by all Placees.

6.             Each Placee's allocation and whether such Placee participates in the Placing will be determined by the relevant Joint Bookrunner in its reasonable discretion following consultation with the Company and will be confirmed by the relevant Joint Bookrunner.

7.             Each Placee's commitment will be confirmed in and evidenced by a Recorded Commitment. These Terms and Conditions will be deemed incorporated into the contract which is entered into by way of a Recorded Commitment and will be legally binding on the relevant Placee(s) on behalf of whom the commitment is made with effect from the end of the Recorded Commitment and, except with the relevant Joint Bookrunner's prior written consent, will not be capable of variation or revocation after such time. Without prejudice to the foregoing, a contract note recording each Placee's commitment will be sent to them following the Recorded Commitment. These Terms and Conditions shall be deemed incorporated into any such contract note.

8.             Each Placee will confirm the maximum number of Placing Shares it is willing to acquire in a Recorded Commitment. Once they have made a Recorded Commitment, each Placee will have an immediate, separate, irrevocable and binding obligation, owed to the relevant Joint Bookrunner (as agent for the Company), to pay to it (or as it may direct) in cleared funds an amount equal to the product of the Issue Price and the number of Placing Shares such Placee has agreed to acquire.

9.             The Joint Bookrunners reserve the right to scale back the number of Placing Shares to be subscribed by any Placee in the event that the Placing is oversubscribed. The Joint Bookrunners also reserve the right not to accept offers to subscribe for Placing Shares or to accept such offers in part rather than in whole. The acceptance and, if applicable, scaling back of offers shall be at the absolute discretion of the Joint Bookrunners.

10.           Any Placees who are existing shareholders of the Company undertake that they shall vote in favour of each of the Resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting.

11.           Except as required by law or regulation, no press release or other announcement will be made by the Joint Bookrunners or the Company using the name of any Placee (or its agent), in its capacity as Placee (or agent), other than with such Placee's prior written consent.

12.           Irrespective of the time at which a Placee's allocation(s) pursuant to the Placing is/are confirmed, settlement for all Placing Shares to be acquired pursuant to the Placing will be required to be made at the same time, on the basis explained below under "Registration and settlement".

13.           All obligations under the Placing will be subject to fulfilment of the conditions referred to below under "Conditions of the Placing" and to the Placing not being terminated on the basis referred to below under "Termination of the Placing".

14.           By participating in the Placing, each Placee agrees that its rights and obligations in respect of the Placing will terminate only in the circumstances described below and will not be capable of rescission or termination by the Placee.

15.           To the fullest extent permissible by law and applicable FCA rules, neither:

(a)           of the Joint Bookrunners; nor

(b)           any of the Joint Bookrunner's affiliates, agents, advisers, directors, officers, consultants or employees; nor

(c)            to the extent not contained within (a) or (b), any person connected with either of the Joint Bookrunners as defined in the FSMA ((b) and (c) being together "affiliates" and individually an "affiliate" of each of the Joint Bookrunners), 

shall have any liability (including to the extent permissible by law, any fiduciary duties) to Placees or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise.  In particular, neither of the Joint Bookrunners nor any of their respective affiliates shall have any liability (including, to the extent permissible by law, any fiduciary duties) in respect of their conduct of the Placing or of such alternative method of effecting the Placing as the Joint Bookrunners and the Company may agree.

Registration and settlement

By participating in the Placing, each Placee will be deemed to agree that it will do all things necessary to ensure that delivery and payment is completed as directed by the relevant Joint Bookrunner in accordance with either the standing CREST or certificated settlement instructions which they have in place with the relevant Joint Bookrunner.

Settlement of transactions in the Placing Shares following Admission will take place within the CREST system, subject to certain exceptions. Settlement through CREST will be on a delivery versus payment basis ("DVP") unless otherwise notified by the Joint Bookrunners and is expected to occur on the Admission Settlement Date.

However, in the event of any difficulties or delays in the admission of the Placing Shares to CREST or the use of CREST in relation to the Placing, the Company and the Joint Bookrunners may agree that the Placing Shares (or any of them) should be issued in certificated form.  Each of the Joint Bookrunners reserves the right to require settlement for any of the Placing Shares, and to deliver any of the Placing Shares to any Placees, by such other means as they deem necessary if delivery or settlement to any Placee is not practicable within the CREST system or would not be consistent with regulatory requirements in the jurisdiction in which a Placee is located.

Interest is chargeable daily on payments not received from Placees on or before the due date in accordance with the arrangements set out above, in respect of either CREST or certificated deliveries, at the rate of 3 percentage points above prevailing base rate of Barclays Bank plc as determined by the Joint Bookrunners.

Each Placee is deemed to agree that if it does not comply with these obligations, the Joint Bookrunners may sell any or all of their Placing Shares on their behalf and retain from the proceeds, for the Company's own account and benefit, an amount equal to the aggregate amount owed by the Placee plus any interest due. The relevant Placee will, however, remain liable for any shortfall below the Issue Price and for any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax (together with any interest or penalties) which may arise upon the sale of its Placing Shares on its behalf.

If Placing Shares are to be delivered to a custodian or settlement agent, Placees must ensure that, upon receipt, any relevant contract note is copied and delivered immediately to the relevant person within that organisation. Insofar as Placing Shares are registered in a Placee's name or that of its nominee or in the name of any person for whom a Placee is contracting as agent or that of a nominee for such person, such Placing Shares should, subject as provided below, be so registered free from any liability to United Kingdom stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. Placees will not be entitled to receive any fee or commission in connection with the Placing.

Conditions of the Placing

The Placing is conditional upon the Placing Agreement becoming unconditional and not having been terminated in accordance with its terms.

The obligations of the Joint Bookrunners under the Placing Agreement are, and the Placing of the Placing Shares is, conditional upon, inter alia:

(a)           the Resolutions being passed, without amendments, at the General Meeting;

(b)           the warranties and undertakings contained in the Placing Agreement ("Warranties") being, in all material respects, true, accurate and not misleading when made on the date of the Placing Agreement and at Admission by reference to the facts and circumstances subsisting at that time;

(c)            the Joint Bookrunners not having exercised their rights to terminate the Placing Agreement; and

(d)           Admission having occurred on or before 8.00 am on the Admission Date.

All conditions to the obligations of the Joint Bookrunners included in the Placing Agreement are together referred to in these Terms and Conditions as the "conditions".

If any of the conditions is not fulfilled or, where permitted, waived in accordance with the Placing Agreement within the stated time periods (or such later time and/or date as the Company and the Joint Bookrunners may agree), or the Placing Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the Placing (or such part of it as may then remain to be completed) will lapse and the Placee's rights and obligations shall cease and terminate at such time and each Placee agrees that no claim can be made by or on behalf of the Placee (or any person on whose behalf the Placee is acting) in respect thereof.

By participating in the Placing, each Placee agrees that its rights and obligations cease and terminate only in the circumstances described above and under "Termination of the Placing" below and will not be capable of rescission or termination by it.

The Joint Bookrunners may, in their absolute discretion and upon such terms as it thinks fit, waive fulfilment of all or any of the conditions in the Placing Agreement which are capable of waiver, in whole or in part, or extend the time provided for fulfilment of one or more conditions, save that certain conditions (including the condition relating to Admission referred to in paragraph (d) above) may not be waived.  Any such extension or waiver will not affect Placees' commitments as set out in these Terms and Conditions.

The Joint Bookrunners may terminate the Placing Agreement in certain circumstances, details of which are set out below.

Neither of the Joint Bookrunners nor any of their affiliates, agents, advisers, directors, officers or employees nor the Company shall have any liability to any Placee (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise) in respect of any decision any of them may make as to whether or not to waive or to extend the time and/or date for the satisfaction of any condition to the Placing (or any part thereof) nor for any decision any of them may make as to the satisfaction of any condition or in respect of the Placing generally (or any part thereof) and by participating in the Placing each Placee agrees that any such decision is within the absolute discretion of the Joint Bookrunners.

Termination of the Placing

Either of the Joint Bookrunners may, in their absolute discretion, by notice to the Company, terminate the Placing Agreement at any time up to Admission if, inter alia:

(a)           any statement contained in the Announcement, the investor presentation relating to the Fundraising or the Circular (the "Placing Documents") has become or been discovered to be untrue, incorrect or misleading in any material respect, or there is a material mistake or inaccuracy in the Placing Documents, or any matter has arisen which would, if the Placing Documents were issued at that time, constitute a material omission from the Placing Documents or any of them or there arises any material new factor, mistake or inaccuracy relating to the information in the Placing Documents;

(b)           any of the Warranties was untrue, inaccurate or misleading in any material respect when made and/or that any of the Warranties has ceased to be true or accurate or has become misleading in any material respect at any time prior to Admission, in each case by reference to the facts and circumstances subsisting at that time;

(c)            any matter has arisen giving an entitlement on the part of any indemnified person to make a claim under the indemnity contained in the Placing Agreement in any material respect;

(d)           the Company has not complied or cannot comply with any of its obligations under the Placing Agreement or otherwise relating to the Placing (to the extent that such obligations fall due to be undertaken prior to Admission) and which is material in the context of the Company, the Placing Agreement or the Fundraising; or

(e)           there has been a force majeure event which in the opinion of the relevant Joint Bookrunner, is, will or may be materially prejudicial to the Company or to the successful outcome of the Placing.

If the Placing Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the rights and obligations of each Placee in respect of the Placing as described in these Terms and Conditions shall cease and terminate at such time and no claim can be made by any Placee in respect thereof.

By participating in the Placing, each Placee agrees with the Company and the Joint Bookrunners that the exercise by the Company or either of the Joint Bookrunners of any right of termination or any other right or other discretion under the Placing Agreement shall be within the absolute discretion of the Company or the Joint Bookrunners or for agreement between the Company and the Joint Bookrunners (as the case may be) and that neither the Company nor either of the Joint Bookrunners need make any reference to such Placee and that neither of the Company, the Joint Bookrunners nor any of their respective affiliates, agents, advisers, directors, officers or employees shall have any liability to such Placee (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise) whatsoever in connection with any such exercise.

By agreeing with the relevant Joint Bookrunner, as agent of the Company, to subscribe for Placing Shares under the Placing, a Placee (and any person acting on a Placee's behalf) will irrevocably acknowledge and confirm and warrant and undertake to, and agree with, each of the Company and the Joint Bookrunners, in each case as a fundamental term of such Placee's application for Placing Shares and of the Company's obligation to allot and/or issue any Placing Shares to it or at its direction, that its rights and obligations in respect of the Placing (or any part of it) will terminate only in the circumstances described above and under the "Conditions of the Placing" section above and will not be capable of rescission or termination by it in any other circumstances.

38.           in order to ensure compliance with the Regulations, the Joint Bookrunners (each for themselves and as agent on behalf of the Company) or the Company's registrars may, in their absolute discretion, require verification of its identity.  Pending the provision to the Joint Bookrunners or the Company's registrars, as applicable, of evidence of identity, definitive certificates in respect of the Placing Shares may be retained at the Joint Bookrunners' absolute discretion or, where appropriate, delivery of the Placing Shares to it in uncertificated form may be delayed at the Joint Bookrunners' or the Company's registrars', as the case may be, in their absolute discretion. If within a reasonable time after a request for verification of identity the Joint Bookrunners (each for themselves and as agent on behalf of the Company) or the Company's registrars have not received evidence satisfactory to them, either the Joint Bookrunners and/or the Company may, at their absolute discretion, terminate their commitment in respect of the Placing, in which event the monies payable on acceptance of allotment will, if already paid, be returned without interest to the account of the drawee's bank from which they were originally debited;

39.           its commitment to acquire Placing Shares on the Terms and Conditions will continue notwithstanding any amendment that may in future be made to the terms and conditions of the Placing and that Placees will have no right to be consulted or require that their consent be obtained with respect to the Company's or the Joint Bookrunners' conduct of the Placing;

40.           it has knowledge and experience in financial, business and international investment matters as is required to evaluate the merits and risks of acquiring the Placing Shares.  It further acknowledges that it is experienced in investing in securities of this nature and is aware that it may be required to bear, and is able to bear, the economic risk of, and is able to sustain, a complete loss in connection with the Placing.  It has relied upon its own examination and due diligence of the Company and its affiliates taken as a whole, and the terms of the Placing, including the merits and risks involved;

41.           it irrevocably appoints any duly authorised officer of any of the Joint Bookrunners as its agent for the purpose of executing and delivering to the Company and/or its registrars any documents on its behalf necessary to enable it to be registered as the holder of any of the Placing Shares which it agrees to acquire upon the these Terms and Conditions;

42.           the Company, the Joint Bookrunners and others (including each of their respective affiliates, agents, advisers, directors, officers and employees) will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing representations, warranties, acknowledgements and agreements, which are given to the Joint Bookrunners, each on their own behalf and on behalf of the Company and are irrevocable;

43.           it is acting as principal only in respect of the Placing or, if it is acquiring the Placing Shares as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, it is duly authorised to do so and it has full power and authority to make, and does make, the foregoing representations, warranties, acknowledgements, agreements and undertakings on behalf of each such accounts;

By participating in the Placing, each Placee (and any person acting on such Placee's behalf) agrees to indemnify and hold the Company, the Joint Bookrunners and each of their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers and employees harmless from any and all costs, claims, liabilities and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) arising out of or in connection with any breach of the representations, warranties, acknowledgements, agreements and undertakings given by the Placee (and any person acting on such Placee's behalf) in these Terms and Conditions or incurred by the Joint Bookrunners, the Company or any of their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers or employees arising from the performance of the Placee's obligations as set out in these Terms and Conditions, and further agrees that the provisions of these Terms and Conditions shall survive after the completion of the Placing.

The agreement to allot and issue Placing Shares to Placees (or the persons for whom Placees are contracting as agent) free of stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax in the United Kingdom relates only to their allotment and issue to Placees, or such persons as they nominate as their agents, directly by the Company.  Such agreement assumes that the Placing Shares are not being acquired in connection with arrangements to issue depositary receipts or to transfer the Placing Shares into a clearance service.  If there are any such arrangements, or the settlement related to any other dealings in the Placing Shares, stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax may be payable.  In that event, the Placee agrees that it shall be responsible for such stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax and neither the Company nor the Joint Bookrunners shall be responsible for such stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax.  If this is the case, each Placee should seek its own advice and they should notify the Joint Bookrunners accordingly.  In addition, Placees should note that they will be liable for any capital duty, stamp duty and all other stamp, issue, securities, transfer, registration, documentary or other duties or taxes (including any interest, fines or penalties relating thereto) payable outside the United Kingdom by them or any other person on the acquisition by them of any Placing Shares or the agreement by them to acquire any Placing Shares and each Placee, or the Placee's nominee, in respect of whom (or in respect of the person for whom it is participating in the Placing as an agent or nominee) the allocation, allotment, issue or delivery of Placing Shares has given rise to such non-United Kingdom stamp, registration, documentary, transfer or similar taxes or duties undertakes to pay such taxes and duties, including any interest and penalties (if applicable), forthwith and to indemnify on an after-tax basis and to hold harmless the Company and the Joint Bookrunners in the event that either of the Company and/or the Joint Bookrunners have incurred any such liability to such taxes or duties.

The representations, warranties, acknowledgements and undertakings contained in these Terms and Conditions are given to each Joint Bookrunner for itself and on behalf of the Company and are irrevocable.

Allenby is authorised and regulated by the FCA in the United Kingdom and is acting exclusively for the Company and no one else in connection with the Placing, and Allenby will not be responsible to anyone (including any Placees) other than the Company for providing the protections afforded to its clients or for providing advice in relation to the Placing or any other matters referred to in these Terms and Conditions.

Each Placee and any person acting on behalf of the Placee acknowledges that the Joint Bookrunners do not owe any fiduciary or other duties to any Placee in respect of any representations, warranties, undertakings, acknowledgements, agreements or indemnities in the Placing Agreement.

The provisions of these Terms and Conditions may be varied, waived or modified as regards specific Placees or on a general basis by the Joint Bookrunners provided always that such variation, waiver or modification is not materially prejudicial to the interests of the Company.

In these Terms and Conditions any words following the terms "including", "include", "in particular", "for example" or any similar expression shall be construed as illustrative and shall not limit the sense of the words, description, definition, phrase or term preceding those terms.
