("Goldstone" or the "Company")

Director and Senior Management Fee Conversions and

Issue of Adviser Fee Shares

Further to the Company's announcement released earlier today in respect of the Subscription and Amendment Agreement, the Company announces the proposed conversion by certain directors and a senior manager of the Company of, in aggregate, US$176,125 (approximately £140,900) of outstanding fees into new Ordinary Shares (the "Fee Conversions") at the Subscription Price and an issue of new Ordinary Shares to an adviser to the Company in lieu of outstanding fees on the same terms as the Subscription (the "Adviser Fee Conversion"). Both the Fee Conversions and Adviser Fee Conversion are conditional on approval by shareholders of the Resolutions to be proposed at the AGM.   

Director and Senior Management Fee Conversions

In order to preserve cash within the Company for working capital purposes, certain of the company Directors and a senior manager have agreed to convert, in aggregate, US$176,125 (approximately £140,900), being 50% of their outstanding fees accrued and unpaid for the period from 1 July 2022 to 31 December 2023, into 14,090,000 new Ordinary Shares at the Subscription Price (the "Fee Conversion Shares").

* Angela List's interest includes that of Nguvu Holdings Limited, a company of which she is a director and major shareholder, which is currently holds an interest in 59,600,000 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 11.96% of the Company's current issued share capital.

In addition, and within the Fee Conversions, the Company has issued 4,320,000 new Ordinary Shares to a senior manager of the Company.

Adviser Fee Shares

In addition, the Company has agreed to issue 7,500,000 new Ordinary Shares and 7,500,000 warrants over new Ordinary Shares (on the same terms as the Warrants issued pursuant to the Subscription) to an adviser to the Company in lieu of outstanding fees (the "Adviser Fee Shares").

Related Party Transaction

The issue of the Fee Conversion Shares to certain directors of the Company is a related party transaction under AIM Rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies. Orrie Fenn, an independent director in respect of the Director Fee Conversions, considers, having consulted with the Company's Nominated Adviser, Strand Hanson Limited, that the terms of the Fee Conversions in respect of the Directors listed above are fair and reasonable insofar as the shareholders of the Company are concerned.

Admission and Total Voting Rights

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the Subscription Shares, the Conversion Shares, the Fee Conversion Shares, and the Adviser Fee Shares (together, the "Shares") to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission") at 8.00 a.m. on or around 2 May 2024, subject to the passing of the Resolutions at the AGM. The Shares will be issued as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive dividends and other distributions declared on or after the date on which they are issued.

Upon Admission, the Company's issued ordinary share capital will consist of 803,907,013 Ordinary Shares with one voting right each (the "Enlarged Share Capital"). The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of Ordinary Shares and voting rights in the Company following Admission will be 803,907,013. With effect from Admission, this figure 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 to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
