Update

The Company's board of directors notes an article published on the ShareProphets website on the evening of 7 November 2022 regarding a possible equity raise.

The Board has previously outlined its plans to raise further equity in order to fund the Company's operations and the continued development of the business.

The Company has spent recent weeks investigating the feasibility of an equity raise with institutional and other investors and this process is now complete. Having regard to the unfavourable conditions in small-cap equity markets, the Board has concluded that it will not be possible at the current time to complete an equity raise. Whilst the Board is pleased with the start that the Company has made to its new financial year, the Company requires additional funding to extend its cash runway beyond 31 January 2023, which as previously disclosed is the date on which the board expects that the Company's current financial resources will be fully depleted.

The Board will provide further updates to shareholders as appropriate.
