Application has been made for the 13,440,514 Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and dealings are expected to commence on or around 8.00 a.m. on 13 June 2025 ("Admission").

The new Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the existing shares of the Group. Following Admission, the Group's issued share capital will consist of 654,986,840 Ordinary Shares, none of which are held in treasury. Accordingly, the figure of 654,986,840 may be used by shareholders 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 Group under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
