RE: SP down 27% in one day5 Feb 2026 00:06
A few points to separate structure from interpretation:
• ATM facility = up to £10m over a minimum 1-year term
• Initial 720,820 shares (2.99%) already issued to Axis at par and will be sold into the market
• Warrants exercised: 631,578 shares @ 10p (~£63k cash)
• CLNs converted: £387,550 @ 10.52p = 3,664,923 shares
• Total new shares in this RNS: 5,017,321
• Total shares post-Admission: 29,124,930
An ATM is a capital supply mechanism, not a timing signal. It exists to be used when liquidity allows, not “after” a value event by design.
While management states an objective of minimising dilution, the capacity itself introduces ongoing supply and price-dependent funding risk. Intent does not remove structure.
If fully drawn at ~10p, £10m implies ~100m additional shares. That possibility is embedded regardless of whether or when it is used.
This RNS improves runway and reduces near-term funding pressure. It does not change UPSA RTO economics, de-risk completion, or alter the contractual ~3% post-RTO position for legacy holders.
ATM facilities are typically used when optionality exists but certainty has not yet been earned.
