Results of General Meeting

Further to the announcement on 29 March 2021 regarding the conditional Subscription and Placing to raise £11 million (before expenses) at a price of 14 pence per share, the Company announces that all Resolutions put to Shareholders at today's General Meeting were duly passed.

An application has been made for the 53,800,345 Second Placing Shares and Second Subscription Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM, which is expected to take place at 8.00 a.m. on 15 April 2021.

Following Second Admission, the Company's issued share capital will comprise 326,282,261 ordinary shares, of which none are held in treasury. The above figure of 326,282,261 may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the voting rights of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
