Issue of Equity and Admission

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the admission of the 100,000 new Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM ("New Ordinary Shares"). Admission is expected to take place at 8.00 a.m. on 9 February 2022.

Total voting rights

Following the issue and allotment of the above New Ordinary Shares, the Company's issued share capital comprises 22,289,856 Ordinary Shares. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore the total number of voting rights in the Company is 22,289,856.

The figure of 22,289,856 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 of their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
