Investors in the Fundraise will receive one warrant per Ordinary Share. The warrants have an exercise price of 7 pence and will expire 2 years after the date of admission of the New Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM.
The Company's joint broker, SP Angel Corporate Finance LLP, will be issued warrants over 364,705 new ordinary shares in the Company. The warrants will be exercisable for a period of 3 years from the date of Admission with an exercise price of 4.25p per new ordinary share ("Broker Warrants").

Immediately following Admission, the Company will have 195,440,406 Ordinary Shares in issue. Accordingly, the total number of Ordinary Shares in the Company with voting rights will be 195,440,406. This figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as denominator for the calculations by which they may 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.
