The Company announces that the Retail Offer closed at 12.00 p.m. on 18 July 2025 and that 107,720 new Ordinary Shares (the "Retail Offer Shares") had been applied for at the Issue Price of £0.975 per Retail Offer Share pursuant to the Retail Offer, raising approximately £105,000 (before expenses) for the Company.
As set out in the circular published on 14 July 2025, the issue of the Retail Offer Shares is conditional on the approval by the shareholders of the Company ("Shareholders") of certain resolutions to be proposed at the general meeting of the Company (the "General Meeting") to be held at the Company's offices at 30 Kensington Church Street, London W8 4HA at 11:30 a.m. on 30 July 2025 and on the Retail Offer Shares being admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission").
