PDMR Dealing
As set out in the announcement published on 12 December 2024 and in the Circular, Graham Marin, the Company's Chairman, participated in the Fundraising and accordingly, as from the Second Admission he will be interested in 24,089,730 ordinary shares representing 1.3 per cent. of the Company's enlarged issued share capital following Second Admission.
Board Change
As announced on 11 December 2024, following conclusion of the Company's GM Graham Martin has stepped down from the Board of United. The Company extends its gratitude to Graham for his valuable contributions and leadership during his tenure. The Company is actively looking for a suitable candidate to fill the Chairman position and will update the market on progress in due course. In the interim, the CEO will fulfil the role of Chair until a suitable candidate is found.

The Company's total issued share capital immediately following Second Admission will be 1,856,353,969 ordinary shares of £0.00001 each carrying the right to one vote. There are no shares currently held in treasury. Accordingly, from the Second Admission the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 1,856,353,969 and this figure may then be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's DTRs.
Unless otherwise defined therein, the capitalised terms in this announcement have the same meaning as in the "Results of the Fundraising and TVR" announcement published on 12 December 2024 and in the Company's Circular dated 12 December 2024.
