It has come to the Board's attention that the notice published by the Company on 15 October 2021 convening a general meeting of the Company (the "General Meeting") invited shareholders to the General Meeting through an online audio and presentation link (due to the Covid-19 situation) but did not specify a physical location for the General Meeting in accordance with the Company's articles of association and the Companies Act 2006. The Board has been advised that it is necessary to issue a revised notice of General Meeting in substitution of the previous notice of General Meeting.
Consequently, the Company will issue a new notice of General Meeting to rectify the omission.

The revised timetable will be as follows:
· Date of Notice of General Meeting: 28 October 2021
· Date of General Meeting: 15 November 2021
· Expected Date of Admission and Settlement: 16 November 2021
The latest time and date at which Admission can occur remains, as described in the results of capital raise announcement published by the Company on 15 October 2021, as no later than 8.00 a.m. on 18 November 2021.
