Further to the appointment of Turner Pope Investments Limited ("TPI") as joint broker to the Company, TPI have agreed to accept the issue of new ordinary shares of 0.1p each in the Company (the "Ordinary Shares") in settlement for: a) their brokerage fees; and b) the commissions due to them in connection with the fundraising announced on 17 October 2018. The new Ordinary Shares will be issued at the same price as the recently completed fundraising (i.e. 0.1p per new ordinary share). TPI will receive 40,600,000 new Ordinary Shares, of which 15,600,000 shares are in settlement of their commissions in relation to this placing and 25,000,000 shares are in settlement of TPIs annual retainer for services as Wishbone's Joint broker, for a total value of £40,600 (the "New Ordinary Shares").
Pursuant to the placing agreement entered into by the Company with TPI at the time of the fundraising, the Company will also grant 20,300,000 warrants (exercisable for a period of 2 years from 31 October 2018 at the placing price of 0.1 pence per ordinary share) to TPI.
Application will be made for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and the NEX Exchange Growth Market, and dealings are expected to commence on 2 November 2018 ("Admission").
