The Company is pleased to announce that at its General Meeting held earlier today, all of the Resolutions set out in the circular published on 23 June 2023 were duly passed.
Further to this, the Company can now confirm that it will issue, pursuant to the Placing and Open Offer, in aggregate, 11,653,744 New Ordinary Shares at 65 pence per New Ordinary Share, raising approximately £7.6 million. The issue of New Ordinary Shares will be split as follows:

· 884,514 New Ordinary Shares taken up under the Open Offer, raising gross proceeds of approximately £0.6 million. Valid acceptances were received from Qualifying Shareholders in respect of 649,820 Open Offer Shares under their Basic Entitlements, and for 234,694 Open Offer Shares under the Excess Application Facility.
