Immediate Financing and Working Capital Position Update

As disclosed in the Company's half-yearly results for the six months ended 30 June 2024, announced on 31 December 2024, whilst the Board remains confident of the performance of its portfolio of investments, the Company is currently operating from a severely constrained working capital position, and currently has approximately £20,000 of cash available.

The Company has been notified by its major shareholder, OFX Holdings, LLC (formerly Tennessee Black Gold, LLC) that it will provide a capital commitment of up to £120,000 ("Proposed Financing") which will be provided to the Company in three equal tranches of £40,000 over the subsequent 90 days from the date of this announcement, in order to support the Company with its immediate obligations and short term working capital needs. The Proposed Financing will be structured as a 12 month loan with an interest rate of 9.0% per annum, unless an alternative structure is mutually agreed by the parties, which may include participation in a further capital fundraise.

With the Proposed Financing, and with the ongoing support of creditors, the Board believes that the Company will have sufficient working capital through to 30 June 2025.

The Directors will continue to carefully monitor the working capital position of the Company and will continue to explore financing options.

Related Party Transaction

The provision of the Proposed Financing by OFX Holdings, LLC, being a substantial shareholder in the Company (a shareholder with over 10% of the issued share capital of the Company) and a company owned and controlled by Claudio Coltellini, a Director of the Company as of the date of this announcement, constitutes a related party transaction for the purposes of Rule 13 of the AIM Rules. With the exception of Claudio Coltellini, a director of OXFH and as such is not independent of the Proposed Financing, the Directors of the Company, Dr Stefan Liebing and Lord Henry Bellingham consider, having consulted with its nominated adviser, Cairn Financial Advisers LLP, that the terms of the Proposed Financing are fair and reasonable insofar as its shareholders are concerned.
