The person responsible for arranging the release of this Announcement on behalf of the Company is Peter Dixon-Clarke, a director of the Company.

Enquiries:

This Announcement should be read in its entirety. In particular, you should read and understand the information provided in the "Important Notices" section of this Announcement.

Background to and reasons for the Placing and Open Offer

Since its formation in April 2020, Invinity has focused on developing and selling energy storage products to assist in the global energy transition from majority fossil fuel to majority renewable sources such as wind, solar, and tide.  The need for energy storage is clear: renewable energy is fundamentally intermittent, yet the future energy infrastructure must be robust and reliable.  Energy storage in many forms is required to bridge the gaps across periods of darkness for solar, calm for wind turbines, and slack tide for tidal power.

To date, the only battery energy storage technology widely deployed to meet the need for stationary energy storage uses lithium-ion cells. While very energy dense and highly efficient, and therefore quite appropriate for mobile and personal applications, lithium-based batteries have characteristics making them less than ideal for stationary energy storage: they are prone to thermal runaway and they degrade with use. Purchasers of stationary energy storage, however, have had few alternatives to lithium-based batteries until the Company's offering.

The Invinity VS3, the Company's energy storage product, now shipping into multiple sites, uses vanadium flow technology that has been under development for over 14 years utilising over £60 million of investment. Over 25 MWh of VS3 batteries or its predecessors have been deployed into or contracted for customer projects at more than 40 sites in 15 different countries on five continents.   

What makes the VS3 particularly well-suited to storing and dispatching energy on demand from renewable generation is that it is true "utility grade" energy storage. The table below lists the four key characteristics of utility-grade energy storage and highlights the main differences between Invinity's VS3 and lithium-ion batteries. Note that Invinity's products can either complement or replace systems using lithium-ion technology:

This association between renewable energy and energy storage has led Barclays Capital to declare that "total global storage spending is likely to approach the trillions by 2050" in an October 2021 report.

Scaling the Invinity business to address this global opportunity for stationary energy storage has been management's primary focus. The Group deployed capital raised in December 2020 to complete development of the VS3, grow manufacturing and supply chain capability, increase commercial engagement and add employees in product development, project management, quality systems, supply chain, manufacturing operations, customer solutions, and logistics.

During 2021, Invinity built inventory that will convert to revenue on product delivery, as is now in progress across a number of key projects for both 2021 and 2022 including but not limited to Energy Superhub Oxford, Scottish Water, EMEC and Yadlamalka. The Company's pipeline of commercial interest is strong, comprising more than 260 MWh of deals that equate to more than 1,000 Invinity VS3s.

As set out below, 2021 has seen significant developments for the Company including shipping of the VS3 as a standardized factory-built product, the delivery and initial energising of the Energy Superhub Oxford project and the announcement of a Joint Development and Commercialisation Agreement ("JDCA") with Gamesa Electric and Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy ("SGRE"). The JDCA has led to an ongoing process to co-develop a new generation of vanadium flow batteries able to address projects at grid-scale.

The Directors intend to use the net proceeds of the Fundraising to address three primary areas:

·       Growing the market share of the VS3, Invinity's current product

·       Development of the Company's grid-scale product in conjunction with SGRE

·       Maintaining the current corporate growth trajectory

The Market Opportunity

The Directors believe that the timing is right to make Invinity's utility-grade energy storage available to the global market. In many of today's largest energy markets, renewable penetration is currently constrained by the inability to use all the renewable energy produced when it is available, coupled with shortages when it is not.

The environment for stationary energy storage continues to improve. The demand for lithium-ion batteries needed to support the electrification of transport is already impacting global supplies and increased the price of lithium itself significantly, driving demand for non-lithium energy storage alternatives such as Invinity's products.

Invinity has made the transition from a company with a product under development to a company shipping a commercial product. Although this transition was delayed by the impacts of the COVID pandemic, now that it has occurred, the opportunity to showcase commercial VS3 product deployments as reference sites should help to accelerate commercial traction for Invinity's products.

Industry analysts continue to forecast dramatic growth in the global energy storage sector. According to a recent report published by Barclays Capital Inc. "Storage is critical to integrating variable renewable energies ("VREs") such as solar and wind" because "VREs are subject to hourly, daily and seasonal variations that often do not align with peak power demand… storage can smooth out VRE fluctuations, mitigate VRE curtailments, firm up VRE supply into dispatchable power and alleviate grid congestion without expensive transmission upgrades".

In a recent report, leading independent think tank RethinkX, said "it is both physically possible and economically affordable to meet 100% of electricity demand with the combination of solar, wind, and batteries by 2030 across the entire continental United States as well as the overwhelming majority of other populated regions of the world".  The inevitable shift towards renewable energy will produce large amounts of surplus power output with near-zero marginal cost of production, making storage vital to ensure this power is stored and made available when the demand is there.  This systemic change to world electricity markets will create opportunities for new business models and products within the energy storage space. On this basis, the Company is confident that vanadium flow batteries will play a significant role in the world's low-carbon energy future.

The Barclays Capital Inc report goes on to say that "Lithium-ion will only get us so far, raising urgency for long-duration technologies". This positive sentiment is supported by various intergovernmental organisations including the World Energy Council who view energy storage as "instrumental in the grand energy transition" in a recent report.

Invinity's goal remains simple: to capture 10 per cent. of the global energy storage market by 2030. The Directors believe that shipping VS3 to multiple sites and signing the JDCA with Gamesa Electric are significant advances for the Company toward this ambitious target.

Current Trading and Prospects

During 2021, Invinity successfully deployed capital raised in the December 2020 Placing and Open Offer to scale up its production capabilities in line with growing demand for its utility grade energy storage products. This activity has resulted in the following:

·      Stack manufacturing capacity has more than doubled (vs. December 2020) across the Company's facilities in Vancouver, Canada and Bathgate, UK, plus process improvements and efficiency increases resulting from economies of scale;

·      Inventory that will convert to revenue on product delivery of key projects for both 2021 and 2022;

·    Organisational capabilities have been significantly enhanced, notably including the creation of a specific customer operations department.

The new generation of VS3 batteries was also launched in 2021 and is now shipping as factory-built standardized products. Between 28 September and 15 November, the Company successfully shipped 5.9 MWh of Invinity VS3 batteries to clients in spite of the ongoing supply chain issues and inflationary pressures being felt across the entire transitional energy sector (as referenced in the Company's Operational Update announcement of 8th November).

Furthermore, progress is continuing across all of Invinity's key customer projects.  The current status of product delivery and commissioning of these key projects is summarised below:

Energy Superhub Oxford (ESO) - 5 MWh

·       Cluster 1 on site, energised and currently in trial operation ahead of final commissioning.

·       Cluster 2 is on site and being installed ahead of energising in the coming weeks.

·      Cluster 3 has been delivered from Invinity's Bathgate facility and is currently being installed at site, completing physical delivery of Invinity's product to ESO

·       Energising of the full system anticipated by end of year, with customer handover expected to occur in early 2022.

Scottish Water - 0.8 MWh

·     The system was delivered on 19 October 2021. Installation processes are currently underway prior to batteries being energised later this year.

Other UK and USA projects - 2.8 MWh

·     Three additional projects have been announced in the UK and USA: EMEC (UK), Webcor and Soboba (USA). These remain on track for their scheduled deliveries before the end of 2021, though any further supply chain challenges could delay one or more of those deliveries, deferring revenue recognition from 2021 to 2022.

Yadlamalka Energy - 8 MWh

·       As announced on 8 November 2021, the Company is pleased to report that the project developer has made progress, taking appropriate steps for the project to resume construction in H1 2022.

Commercial Pipeline

The Company's latest commercial opportunity pipeline as at 2 November 2021, is summarised below. The Company has further refined its categorisation of the deal stages, which are explained in detail below.

In addition to the deal pipeline disclosed above, the Company also separately tracks large potential deals that are on long development lead times. Generally, these opportunities are larger than 40MWh in size, with a delivery timescale beyond 12 months. These deals are reported separately to avoid distorting the nearer-term pipeline.  As at 2 November 2021, Invinity was tracking potential prospective deals totalling 2,904MWh or the equivalent of 12,907 VS3s.

Further details on the commercial pipeline category definitions are set out below.

As discussed in the Company's previously published documents, only projects that, in the Company's opinion, meet the following criteria are included in the quoted pipeline figures:

1.      There is an economic case to be made for energy storage;

2.      The potential customer can reasonably be expected to have the capability and funding to execute the project; and

3.      There is a reason why Invinity's products enjoy material advantages over competitive offerings for the particular project or application.

Having met the above criteria, Invinity's commercial team formally starts to track, and report on, those opportunities. As projects mature, they evolve through the various stages of the commercial process:

·    "Base" opportunities are those in the final contracting stage, and for which Invinity has allocated resources for completion - including working capital, manufacturing capacity and personnel to assist with commissioning - in the immediate term;

·      "Advanced" opportunities are those where Invinity has been selected as the preferred supplier for the project, funds are allocated, and Invinity management estimates that there is a strong chance of closure in the near term; and

·       "Qualified" opportunities are those that have passed the qualification thresholds noted above.

Use of Proceeds

The gross proceeds conditionally receivable by the Company pursuant to Placing will be £25.0 million, before expenses. The maximum gross proceeds receivable by the Company pursuant to the Open Offer (assuming take-up in full of the Open Offer by Qualifying Shareholders) will be approximately £4.0 million, before expenses (being, together with the open offer made to shareholders on 3 December 2020, less than the €8 million maximum amount permitted in a year without requiring the publication by the Company of a prospectus under the Prospectus Rules).

The Company will issue Warrants to those participating in the Placing or the Open Offer that enable the purchase of additional shares in the Company at a premium to the Issue Price. The Company will use any additional capital received from any Warrant exercise to invest further in the three key areas listed below, enabling Invinity to advance toward its goals more aggressively, on a shorter timescale, and with greater certainty.

Warrants are only likely to be exercised once the Company's share price has increased substantially from the Issue Price, so the Shareholder will see appreciation in the value of the new Ordinary Shares they received from the Placing if Warrants are exercised.

The Company intends to invest funds raised in the Fundraising (and from Warrant exercise, should that occur) in three key areas:

1.      Growing the market share of the VS3, Invinity's current product

This will require investment into both working capital and the departments that directly support VS3 sales and delivery.

In terms of working capital, whilst sales contracts include a deposit on signing, they currently become cash negative during the procurement and manufacturing lifecycle. This means that each increase in output requires a commensurate increase in the funding required, albeit offset to a degree as gross margins and supplier terms improve with scale.

The Company's customer-facing departments, Commercial, Solutions Engineering and Customer Operations, will each need additional headcount to respond to the growing pipeline of inbound business, accelerate the rate of conversion of initial inquiries through the entire process to closed contracts, and service the growing customer base.  The Company's Operations Department will require additional headcount primarily in the areas of stack manufacture and quality control.

2.      Development of the Company's grid-scale product in conjunction with SGRE

Development of the Company's grid-scale vanadium flow battery product under the auspices of the Joint Development & Commercialisation agreement with Gamesa Electric (announced 11 May 2021) will require increased resource (outside the areas being reimbursed by Gamesa Electric) with each stage of development. This includes, for example, provision for product prototypes and test rigs along with increasing input by Invinity's Product Development and Technology departments.

3.      Maintaining the current corporate growth trajectory

Invinity's continued growth will require further investment in corporate capability including the implementation of scalable systems and processes, and the staff to support them.

Should the Resolutions at the General Meeting not be passed and the Conditional Placing not complete, the above mentioned use of proceeds would not be achievable and the Company would have to explore other funding alternatives to support its working capital requirements.

Details of the Placing and the Open Offer

The Placing

The Company has conditionally raised approximately £25.0 million (before expenses) through the issue of the Placing Units at the Issue Price, which represents a discount of 0.5 per cent. to the closing middle market price of 100.5 pence per Ordinary Share on 17 November 2021, being the last practicable date prior to this Announcement.

Each Placing Unit consists of one new Ordinary Share and, for every two Ordinary Shares subscribed for, one warrant at an exercise price of 150 pence with an expiry date of 15 September 2022 ("Short-Term Warrant") and one warrant at an exercise price of 225 pence with an expiry date of 16 December 2024 ("Long-Term Warrant").

8,685,276 Initial Placing Units have been placed with investors. The placing of the Initial Placing Shares is being made pursuant to existing authorities to allot shares non-pre-emptively under the Company's articles of association, which were granted to the Directors at the Annual General Meeting of the Company held on 27 October 2021.  Accordingly, allotment of the Initial Placing Shares is due to take place on First Admission, which is expected to occur at 8.00 a.m. on 23 November 2021. The placing of the Initial Placing Shares is conditional upon inter alia the Placing Agreement not having been terminated and First Admission occurring on or before 8.00 a.m. on 23 November 2021 (or such later date as Canaccord Genuity, VSA Capital and the Company may agree, being not later than 8.00 a.m. on 31 January 2022).

The issue of the Initial Placing Warrants remains conditional inter alia upon shareholders approving certain resolutions at the General Meeting the Placing Agreement not having been terminated and Second Admission occurring.  The Initial Placing Warrants are currently intended to be issued after Second Admission, shortly after the General Meeting. Further details of the timetable for the issue will be set out in the Circular.

16,314,724 Conditional Placing Units have been placed conditionally. The Conditional Placing is conditional upon Shareholders approving certain resolutions at the General Meeting that will inter alia grant to the Directors the authority to allot new Ordinary Shares for cash on a non-pre-emptive basis and increase the authorised share capital of the Company.

The issue of 6,000,000 Placing Units to Schroder Investment Management, a substantial shareholder of the Company, constitutes a related party transaction under the AIM Rules. The Directors consider, having consulted with Canaccord Genuity, acting in its capacity as the Company's Nominated Adviser, that the terms of such placing are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.

Directors' Participation

Larry Zulch and Peter Dixon-Clarke, both directors of the Company have indicated that they intend to participate in the Placing for 12,000 Placing Units each. Larry Zulch and Peter Dixon-Clarke have provided non-binding indications and a further announcement will be made in due course once such dealings have occurred.

Details of the Open Offer

The Company considers it important that Qualifying Shareholders have an opportunity (where it is practicable for them to do so) to participate in the Fundraising and accordingly the Company is making the Open Offer to Qualifying Shareholders. The Company is proposing to raise up to approximately £4.0 million (before expenses) (assuming full take up of the Open Offer but being less than the €8 million maximum annual amount permitted without requiring the publication by the Company of a prospectus under the Prospectus Rules) through the issue of up to 4,008,588 Open Offer Units. The Open Offer is conditional upon, inter alia, the passing of the certain resolutions at the General Meeting.

The Open Offer Units will be available to Qualifying Shareholders pursuant to the Open Offer at the Issue Price of 100 p.  Each Open Offer Unit comprises one new Ordinary Share and, for every two Ordinary Shares applied for, one warrant at an exercise price of 150 pence with an expiry date of 15 September 2022 ("Short-Term Warrant") and one warrant at an exercise price of 225 pence with an expiry date of 16 December 2024 ("Long-Term Warrant").

Open Offer Units applied for pursuant to the Open Offer are payable in full on acceptance. Any Open Offer Units not subscribed for by Qualifying Shareholders will be available to Qualifying Shareholders under the Excess Application Facility. Qualifying Shareholders may apply for Open Offer Shares under the Open Offer at the Issue Price on the following basis:

3 Units for every 65 Existing Ordinary Shares held by the Shareholder 

Further details of the Open Offer and the terms and conditions on which it is being made, including the procedure for application and payment, are to be contained in the Circular to be published shortly.

No fractional Units will be issued.  Each Qualifying Shareholder's Open Offer Entitlement will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Units.  Furthermore, no fractional Warrants will be issued.  If the number of Units due to be issued to a Qualifying Shareholder pursuant to the Open Offer and, if appropriate, the Excess Application Facility is an odd number, then the number of Short-Term Warrants and the number of Long-Term Warrants issued will both be rounded down to the nearest whole number. 

Application will be made for the Open Offer Entitlements to be admitted to CREST.  It is expected that Open Offer Entitlements will be credited to CREST shortly after the publication of the Circular, which will contain details of how Shareholders may apply for Open Offer Units through CREST.  

Qualifying Shareholders should note that the Open Offer is not a rights issue and therefore the Open Offer Units which are not applied for by Qualifying Shareholders will not be sold in the market for the benefit of the Qualifying Shareholders who do not apply under the Open Offer.

The Open Offer is conditional on, inter alia, shareholder approval to enable the issue of the Open Offer Shares and the exercise of the Short-Term Warrants and the Long-Term Warrants, which will be sought at the General Meeting and the Initial Placing becoming or being declared unconditional in all respects and not being terminated before First Admission.

The Open Offer Shares and any new Ordinary Shares issued upon exercise of the Short-Term Warrants and the Long-Term Warrants will be issued free of all liens, charges and encumbrances and will, when issued and fully paid, rank pari passu in all respects with the Existing Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after the date of their issue.

The expenses of the Placing and Open Offer are expected to be approximately £1.5 million.

Details of the Warrants

The Company will enter into deed poll instruments (the "Warrant Instruments") under which the Company will agree to issue up to 14,504,294 Short-Term Warrants and 14,504,294 Long-Term Warrants in connection with the Fundraising pursuant to the Placing and the Open Offer.

Each Short-Term Warrant confers the right to subscribe for one new Ordinary Share and is exercisable for cash at a price of 150 pence per Short-Term Warrant (being a 50 per cent. premium to the Issue Price) subject to the terms and conditions described in the Warrant Instrument during the period commencing on Second Admission and ending on the Short-Term Warrant Expiry Date.

Each Long-Term Warrant confers the right to subscribe for one new Ordinary Share and is exercisable for cash at a price of 225 pence per Short-Term Warrant (being a 125 per cent. premium to the Issue Price) subject to the terms and conditions described in the Warrant Instrument during the period commencing on Second Admission and ending on the Long-Term Warrant Expiry Date.

The Warrants shall be freely transferable.  Warrants issued in certificated form are exercised by completing the Notice of Exercise in the form set out in the relevant Warrant Instrument and returning it along with the relevant Warrant Certificates and the relevant cheque payment (payable to Computershare Investor Services). Warrants held in uncertificated form are exercised by submission of the usual USE/AUSN message and delivery to Computershare Investor Services CREST details Participant ID 3RA06, Member Account ID INVWAR together with remittance in cleared funds of the subscription price in respect of each Warrant being exercised..

Any Warrants remaining unexercised after the end of the relevant subscription period shall automatically expire without compensation. Upon exercise of the Warrants, the underlying Ordinary Shares will be issued within fourteen days.

The Warrant Instruments contain customary provisions for adjustments to the relevant exercise price in certain circumstances, including if, prior to the end of the Long-Term Warrant Expiry Date, there shall occur any reorganisation, recapitalisation, consolidation or subdivision, involving the Company.

Settlement and dealings

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the Placing Shares and the Open Offer Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that First Admission will become effective at 8.00 a.m. on 23 November 2021.

Notwithstanding the EEA Target Market Assessment, Distributors should note that: the price of the Placing Units may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the Placing Units offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the Placing Units is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or fully predictable return profile, who are not looking for full capital protection or full repayment of the amount invested, 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. In addition, the value from time to time of the Warrants is linked to the price of an Ordinary Share and may be zero. The EEA Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Placing. Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the EEA Target Market Assessment, CGL and VSA will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties.

For the avoidance of doubt, the EEA Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) 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 Units.

Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Placing Units and determining appropriate distribution channels.

UK product governance

For the avoidance of doubt, the UK Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of Chapter 9A or 10A respectively of the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook; or (b) 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 Units.

1.   there has been a breach of any Warranty, and where a materiality threshold is not specified in such Warranty such breach is material;

2.     any Warranty would be untrue, inaccurate (in each case where a materiality threshold is not specified in such Warranty, in any material respect) or misleading if it were to be repeated at any time prior to First Admission or Second Admission (as the case may be);

3.    any statement in the Placing Documents has become, or an omission in the Placing Documents results in them being, untrue, inaccurate in any material respect or misleading;

4.     either Application is withdrawn or refused by the London Stock Exchange;

7.     there has occurred:

7.1.   any material adverse change in financial markets in the United States, the United Kingdom or in any member or associate member of the European Union or the international financial markets, any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, war, act of terrorism, declaration of emergency or martial law or other calamity or crisis or event or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial, economic, monetary or market conditions or currency exchange rates or controls; or

The rights and obligations of the Placees will not be subject to termination by the Placees or any prospective Placees at any time or in any circumstances, other than set out in the section entitled "Conditions of the Placing" above.

No Admission Document or Prospectus

The Placing Units are being offered to a limited number of specifically invited persons only and have not been nor will be offered in such a way as to require the publication of an admission document or prospectus in the United Kingdom or any equivalent document in any other jurisdiction other than a prospectus required in Jersey and prepared pursuant to the Companies (General Provisions) (Jersey) Order 2002 ("Jersey Prospectus").

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. Neither the Company nor the Brokers are making any undertaking or warranty to any Placee regarding the legality of an investment in the Placing Units by such Placee under any legal, investment or similar laws or regulations. Each Placee should not consider any information in this Announcement to be legal, tax or business advice. Each Placee should consult its own solicitor, tax adviser and financial adviser for independent legal, tax and financial advice regarding an investment in the Placing Units. Nothing in this paragraph shall exclude the liability of any person for fraudulent misrepresentation.

Registration and Settlement

The ISINs of the Warrants are JE00BN33L817 (Short Term Warrants) and JE00BN33L924 (Long Term Warrants). The Brokers reserve the right to require settlement for and delivery of the Placing Units to Placees by such other means that they deem necessary, if delivery or settlement is not possible or practicable within the CREST system within the timetable set out in this Announcement or would not be consistent with the regulatory requirements in the Placee's jurisdiction. Warrants will be capable of settlement and transfer in certificated form.

Neither the Short-Term Warrants nor the Long term Warrants will be admitted to trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange or on any other stock exchange.

All payments by Placees in respect to the Placings Units shall be made to CGL only.

Interest is chargeable daily on payments not received from Placees on the due date in accordance with the arrangements set out above at the rate of two percentage points above the base rate of Barclays Bank Plc.

Each Placee is deemed to agree that if it does not comply with these obligations: (i) the Company may release itself (if it decides in its absolute discretion to do so) and will be released from all obligations it may have to issue any such Placing Units to such Placee or at its direction which are then unissued; (ii) the Company may exercise all rights of lien, forfeiture and set-off over and in respect of any such Placing Units to the fullest extent permitted under its articles of association or otherwise by law and to the extent that such Placee then has any interest in or rights in respect of any such Placing Units; (iii) the Company or the Brokers may sell (and each of them is irrevocably authorised by such Placee to do so) all or any of such Placing Units on such Placee's behalf and then retain from the proceeds, for the account and benefit of the Company or, where applicable, the Brokers (a) any amount up to the total amount due to it as, or in respect of, subscription monies, or as interest on such monies, for any Placing Units, (b) any amount required to cover any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax (together with any interest or penalties) arising on the sale of such Placing Units on such Placee's behalf, and (c) any amount required to cover dealing costs and/or commissions necessarily or reasonably incurred by it in respect of such sale; and (iv) such Placee shall remain liable to the Company and to the Brokers (as applicable) for the full amount of any losses and of any costs which it may suffer or incur as a result of it (a) not receiving payment in full for such Placing Units by the required time, and/or (b) the sale of any such Placing Units to any other person at whatever price and on whatever terms are actually obtained for such sale by or for it.

If Placing Units are to be delivered to a custodian or settlement agent, the Placee should ensure that the Contract Note is copied and delivered immediately to the relevant person within that organisation.

Insofar as Placing Units are registered in the Placee's name or that of its nominee or in the name of any person for whom the Placee is contracting as agent or that of a nominee for such person, such Placing Units will, subject as provided below, be so registered free from any liability to stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. If there are any circumstances in which any other stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax is payable in respect of the issue of the Placing Units, neither the Brokers nor the Company shall be responsible for the payment thereof. Placees will not be entitled to receive any fee or commission in connection with the Placing.

Subject to the conditions set out above, payment in respect of the Placees' allocation is due as set out below. Each Placee should provide its settlement details in order to enable instructions to be successfully matched in CREST. The relevant settlement details for the Initial Placing Units are as follows:
