The shares will be issued to the principals of the supplier and will be subject to a lock-in agreement with a structured three-year vesting schedule. This combination will allow Forbes Tate Partners to expand its offering and to capture the full revenue and profits associated with the supplier, which provided digital and social media expertise, strategy, media planning and placement in connection with Forbes Tate Partners clients under a professional services agreement.

Application will be made for the new Common Shares, which will rank pari passu with the existing Common Shares in issue, to be admitted to trading on AIM. Dealings are expected to commence on or around 7 November 2022.

Following this issue of shares, the Company's total issued and voting share capital upon admission will consist of 109,425,995 Common Shares. This figure 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, securities of the Company.
