Application has been made for the Option Shares to be admitted to trading on the London Stock AIM (the "Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective on or around 18th November 2022.
Following the issue of the Option Shares, which on Admission will rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares, the total number of ordinary shares in issue with voting rights in the Company will be 150,692,328. There are no shares held in treasury.
The above figure of 150,692,328 may therefore be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they may determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
