Appendix

The following information is disclosed in respect of Mr. Robin Stevens pursuant to Schedule Two, paragraph (g) of the AIM Rules for Companies. All information is as at the date of this announcement.

On 26 May 2010, Zokora (No. 2) Limited, a company of which Mr. Stevens was a director at the time, was placed into a creditors' voluntary liquidation. The company was dissolved on 12 May 2018. The liquidator received one claim of £2,247 (compared to one unsecured creditor of £2,246 shown in the company's statement of affairs) and there was a contingent claim of £250,000.

On 26 May 2010, the designated members of MRI Moores Rowland LLP, a partnership of which Robin Stevens was a partner, resolved to voluntarily wind up the partnership. The partnership was dissolved on 15 May 2018. The claims made by creditors to the liquidator were not agreed as there was little likelihood of sufficient funds being available to pay a dividend to said creditors, and the liquidator had insufficient assets to cover its costs and expenses in full.

Mr Stevens has been a Non-executive Director of B Iconic Group Limited since November 2019. The company entered creditors' voluntary liquidation in Ireland in November 2020, which remains ongoing.

At the time of this announcement, Mr. Stevens has no interest in ordinary shares or in options or warrants over ordinary shares in the Company.

Save as set out above, no further information regarding Mr Stevens is required to be disclosed pursuant to the AIM Rules for Companies.
