·883,527 shares in the Regulation S stock line ISIN number USU8457D1091 (AIM:SPSC); and

In accordance with the provisions of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the FCA ("DTRs"), the issued share capital of Spectra upon Admission is 45,417,766 shares with voting rights attached (one vote per share).
