The Options have a term of five years and any unexercised options will expire at midnight 3 November 2025 and in aggregate represent approximately 2.89% of the Company's issued share capital.

The Options announced today will result in a net increase of 23,600,000 options held by Directors, officers, and employees of the Company. Subsequent to this grant, a total of 68,400,000 share options are held by the Company's current Directors, officers and employees representing approximately 8.37% of the share capital outstanding Ordinary Shares). All outstanding options held by current Directors, officers, and employees, other than those included in this grant, have exercise prices ranging between 1.45 and 1.85 pence per share.

The Board approved the issuance of the Options to incentivise and retain key Directors, officers and employees critical to enhancing the future market value of the Company and notes the significant premium of the respective exercise prices relative to the current share price.
