On 30 November 2022 Somerston subscribed to new bonds in an aggregate principal amount of £2,425,000. The new bonds were issued with new warrants in respect of 29,696,761 shares representing 5.08% of the Company's ordinary share capital.

The new warrants specified in Box 8.B.2 have not been exercised in whole or in part. Accordingly, the "Total number of voting rights of issuer" in Box 7 do not account for any issuance of the new voting shares arising from the exercise of the new warrants. Once the new warrants are exercised in full, assuming no other changes in the interests or number of voting shares in the meantime, the total ownership of ordinary shares (including arising from the exercised warrants) would represent 52.84%.
