· It is the intention of the Board that capital will be returned to Shareholders upon the completion of the realisation strategy.

Historic Accounts Update

· The Company expects to publish the outstanding unaudited interim results for the period ended 29 February 2024 and the annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 August 2024 during September 2025, and the unaudited interim accounts for the period ended 28 February 2025 in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Litigation:

· There have been no material changes to the potential shareholder group litigation or the FCA investigation in recent months. Any relevant announcements in this regard will continue to be made to the market at the appropriate time.

· In October 2023, a pre-action letter of claim was received by the Company from Harcus Parker Limited on behalf of a group of current and former shareholders of the Company. No legal proceedings have been issued at this stage.

The Company expects to retain sufficient capital resources to meet its ongoing corporate costs and to provide the Company with sufficient resources to pursue legal action against those it considers responsible for wrongdoing.

· The Company cannot comment any further on these issues at this stage as to do so may prejudice the Company's position in any potential proceedings. Any relevant announcements in this regard will be made at the appropriate time.
