Following Shareholders' approval, the Company will proceed to acquire the Business from S-Ventures. S-Ventures shareholders have also voted in favor of the Acquisition and accordingly all required consents have been received. Completion and Admission are now expected to take place on 29 May 2025. Accordingly, as from Admission, the Company will become an operating company in the health and wellness sector.

 

In connection with the Acquisition, the Company has issued 466,666,666 Consideration Shares, 356,335,200 Loan Conversion Shares and 13,274,213 Fee Shares at the issue price of 0.75 pence.

Admission of Enlarged Share Capital to AIM

 

The Company has applied for a total of 1,678,346,930 ordinary shares of 0.01 pence each (the "Ordinary Shares") to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). Admission is expected to take place at 08.00 on 29 May 2025 to enable completion to take place. The 902,942,743 new ordinary shares with nominal value of 0.01 pence each issued as Consideration Shares, Loan Conversion Shares and Fee Shares will rank pari passu with the 775,404,187 existing ordinary shares.

In addition, Scott Livingston will receive an option award to acquire up to 149,856,544 New Ordinary Shares. The maximum potential holding of the members of the Concert Party, if Scott Livingston exercised all of his options and no other options or warrants were exercised, would be 739,616,810 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 40.46 per cent. of the diluted enlarged voting rights of the Company.
