AIM Cancellation
Following approval by Shareholders at the General Meeting, the admission of the Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM will be cancelled. The Cancellation is expected to take place at 7:00 a.m. on 8 August 2025 and, accordingly, the last day of dealings in Ordinary Shares on AIM is expected to be 7 August 2025.
The Ordinary Shares are currently suspended from trading on AIM as the Company has not been able to publish its report & accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024 by 30 June 2025. It is not expected that the Company will be able to publish its report & accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024 by 7 August 2025 and as such the suspension from trading on AIM is not expected to be lifted prior to Cancellation.
Re-registration as a private company
In accordance with the passing of Resolution 3, the Company will re-register as a private limited company and adopt new articles of association, which is expected to take place by 15 August 2025.
Matched Bargain Facility
The Company has made arrangements for the Matched Bargain Facility to assist Shareholders to trade in the Ordinary Shares from the date of Cancellation, if the Cancellation Resolution is passed. The Matched Bargain Facility will be provided by J P Jenkins, which is an appointed representative of Prosper Capital LLP, which is authorised and regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority. Under the Matched Bargain Facility, Shareholders or persons wishing to acquire or dispose of Ordinary Shares will be able to leave an indication with J P Jenkins, through their stockbroker, of the number of Ordinary Shares that they are prepared to buy or sell and the price at which they are prepared to do so. In the event that J P Jenkins is able to match that order with an opposite sell or buy instruction, it would contact both parties and then effect the bargain (trade). Should the Cancellation become effective, the Matched Bargain Facility will commence, and details will be made available to Shareholders on the Company's website. It should be noted, however, that there is no guarantee as to the liquidity such a facility would afford the Ordinary Shares post Cancellation.
Capitalised terms used but not defined in this announcement shall have the same meaning given to such terms in the Circular and the announcement dated 2 July 2025.
