Accordingly, application has been made for the Second Tranche Consideration Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM, and it is expected that admission will occur at 8.00 a.m. on or around 22 March 2019. Following admission of the Second Tranche Consideration Shares, the Company's issued ordinary share capital will comprise 29,052,855 ordinary shares, none of which are held in treasury. Therefore, the total number of ordinary shares with voting rights in the Company will be 29,052,855, which may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
