Related Party Transaction
The issue of the Settlement Shares constitutes a related party transaction under AIM Rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies. Alex Penha, as the independent director of the Company for the purposes of this transaction, considers, having consulted with the Company's Nominated Adviser, that the terms of the issue of the Settlement Shares are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.
Application to trading on AIM
The Equity Issue is conditional on Admission. Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the 114,000,000 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that Admission will become effective and that dealings in the new Ordinary Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 4 July 2025 ("Admission").
Total Voting Rights
Following the Equity Issue, the total issued share capital of the Company will consist of 503,169,217 Ordinary Shares with voting rights. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury and accordingly there are no voting rights in respect of any treasury shares.
On Admission, the abovementioned figure of 503,169,217 Ordinary Shares 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 to their interest in, Harvest under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
