Following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will consist of 17,500,000 ordinary shares, each carrying one voting right. The Company holds no shares in treasury. Accordingly, following Admission, the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 17,500,000.

The above figure of 17,500,000 may be used by shareholders, following Admission, as the denominator for the calculation by which they can determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
