Both Blocklisting 1 and Blocklisting 2 are expected to become effective at 8:00 am on 20 March 2025.

The Ordinary Shares admitted under Blocklisting 1 and Blocklisting 2 will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares of the Company. 

At the time of this announcement, MAB has 57,956,789 Ordinary Shares in issue. This figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
