marketing resulting in consistent growth and improvement in the Key Performance 
Indicators.  We believe this is a very exciting time and stage in the Company's 
development as it expands its activities in North America, the world's largest 
market for Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC).  GRC is a large market - 
$14bn in 2022 rising to $27bn in 2027 (MarketsandMarkets)." 
 
Simon Marvell, CEO of ARM said: "Drumz has been a great supporter of Acuity 
since its original investment in September 2020.  Over the intervening period, 
Drumz has helped us to strengthen our commercial team and grow the 
business.   We operate in a large and fast-growing market so we are delighted 
and excited to be proceeding with this transaction which we believe will help 
us to raise our profile as a public company and further accelerate development 
of the business and its expansion in new markets".

                            ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 
 
 1. Introduction 
 
On 5 April 2023, the Company announced that it had conditionally agreed terms 
to acquire Acuity Risk Management Limited ("ARM"), a supplier of Governance, 
Risk, Compliance ("GRC") software and services. Drumz currently owns 25 per 
cent. of the issued share capital of ARM and it is proposing to acquire the 
balance of the issued and to be issued share capital for a total consideration 
of approximately £3.6 million. The Consideration will be satisfied  by the 
payment of £0.5 million in cash and the issue of 45,709,570 New Ordinary Shares 
which at the Closing Price are valued at £3.1 million. In addition, Acquisition 
Options over 2,420,506 New Ordinary Shares may be granted to the Founders in 
the event that the Company's share price does not at any time exceed an average 
of 6.99 pence on any five consecutive trading days during the three months 
immediately following Admission. 
 
The Company also announces that it has conditionally raised £1.45 million 
(before expenses) pursuant to a Placing and Subscription, with certain 
institutions and other investors, through the proposed issue of 32,222,222 New 
Ordinary Shares at a price of 4.5 pence per New Ordinary Share. The Placing and 
Subscription are conditional (amongst other things) upon the passing of certain 
resolutions in order to ensure that the Directors have the necessary 
authorities and powers to allot the New Ordinary Shares. 
 
The Issue Price represents a discount of approximately 33.3 per cent. to the 
Closing Price. 
 
In conjunction with the Acquisition, Placing and Subscription the Existing 
Directors believe it is appropriate to undertake a share reorganisation to 
simplify the number and pricing of the Company's Existing Ordinary Shares. 
Details of the Share Reorganisation which will comprise a consolidation and 
sub-division are set out in paragraph 6 below. 
 
The Directors believe that it is appropriate, should the Acquisition be 
approved by Shareholders at the General Meeting and be completed, that the name 
of the Company be changed to Acuity RM Group plc to reflect the business of the 
Enlarged Group. 
 
The Placing, and Subscription, Acquisition and Change of Name are conditional 
(amongst other things) upon the passing of certain resolutions in order to 
ensure that the Directors have the necessary authorities and powers to allot 
the New Ordinary Shares. As a result, a number of proposals are to be put to 
Shareholders at the General Meeting. 
 
The Acquisition, if completed, will constitute a reverse takeover of the 
Company under Rule 14 of the AIM Rules and is, therefore, subject to the 
approval of Shareholders at the General Meeting. 
 
The Founders are presumed to be acting in concert for the purposes of the 
Takeover Code. On Admission the Concert Party will hold 44,973,171 New Ordinary 
Shares, as a result of the issue of the Concert Party Consideration Shares, 
representing approximately 37.16 per cent. of the Enlarged Ordinary Share 
Capital. In addition if all the Acquisition Options, held by or to be issued to 
the Founders were exercised (and no other Options or Adviser Warrants were 
exercised) the Founders would hold a total of 47,393,677 New Ordinary Shares, 
representing 38.39 per cent. of the Company's then issued  New Ordinary Share 
capital. Under Rule 9 of the Takeover Code, the Concert Party would normally be 
obliged to make an offer as a result of the (1) Concert Party Consideration 
Shares and (2) the exercise of the Acquisition Options, to all Shareholders 
(other than the Concert Party) to acquire their New Ordinary Shares for cash at 
the Closing Price. The Panel has agreed to waive this obligation, subject to 
the approval of the Independent Shareholders on a poll of the Waiver Resolution 
at the General Meeting. 
 
On completion of the Acquisition and readmission to AIM the Company will own 
100 per cent. of the shares of ARM and be treated as a trading company for the 
purposes of the AIM Rules. The Enlarged Group's strategy will be to develop its 
business to deliver long term, sustainable growth in shareholder value. In the 
short to medium term this is expected to come from organic growth and 
thereafter may also come from complementary acquisitions. 
 
2. Background on the Company and reasons for the Acquisition 
 
Drumz was incorporated under the name J. Billam Limited in 1935 and in 1964 it 
became a public company with its shares traded on the London Stock Exchange. In 
June 1995, its name changed to Billam PLC and in 1997 its shares were admitted 
to AIM. In 2000, it became an investing company on AIM. It subsequently changed 
its name to Energiser Investments plc in 2008 and to Drumz in 2020. Drumz is an 
investing company admitted to trading on AIM with an investment policy focused 
principally, but not exclusively, on acquiring investments in technology 
businesses based in Europe. 
 
Drumz currently has two investments, being a 25 per cent. shareholding in ARM 
and a 5.85 per cent. legacy shareholding in KCR. Drumz is proposing to acquire 
the remaining issued shares and to be issued shares in ARM as part of the 
Proposals. Further details on ARM are set out in paragraph 3 below. KCR is an 
AIM listed property business focused on the residential sector and the Existing 
Directors are looking to dispose of this investment, which is outside the 
Company's current investment policy. However, in common with many smaller 
companies, there is limited liquidity in the shares of KCR and therefore the 
Board is not able to give a view on when or if a disposal of this investment 
might be effected. 
 
On 4 September 2020, Drumz acquired a 20 per cent. stake in ARM and Angus 
Forrest was appointed chairman of the board of ARM as a board representative of 
Drumz. On 6 September 2021 Drumz exercised an option to acquire a further five 
per cent., thereby increasing its shareholding to 25 per cent. 
 
Since Drumz's investment, the focus of the ARM Directors has been on increasing 
the commercialisation of ARM. Contract terms have been revised and all sales of 
ARM's risk management software, STREAM®, have been on a SaaS or private cloud 
(on-premise) subscription basis. Sales and marketing activities have been 
revised and strengthened, with a new digital marketing programme and the sales 
team has been strengthened through a combination of recruitment, training and 
management. This has resulted in several new customer wins including a major UK 
broadcaster, a US technology company and a German engineering company. STREAM® 
is currently being used by around 70 organisations, across the UK, Germany, US 
and other territories. 
 
ARM has demonstrated strong growth over the past two years and the Existing 
Directors believe that there continue to be opportunities for rapid organic 
expansion and therefore the Acquisition presents the Company and its 
Shareholders with what the Directors believe is an exciting opportunity. 
 
Accordingly, the Existing Directors propose that, subject to approval of the 
Resolutions by the Shareholders at the General Meeting, the Company should 
acquire the entire issued share capital of ARM not already owned by Drumz. 
 
3. Summary information on ARM 
 
ARM was incorporated on 18 December 2019 as a limited company and commenced 
trading in March 2020 when it acquired the trade and assets of Acuity RM LLP. 
 
ARM is an established provider of risk management services. ARM's award-winning 
STREAM® is a GRC software platform, which collects data about organisations to 
improve business decisions and management. It is used by around 70 
organisations in markets including government, utilities, defence, 
broadcasting, manufacturing and healthcare. Most customers use it for managing 
cybersecurity and IT risks and for compliance with ISO 27001 and other 
standards and regulations. STREAM® is sold on a SaaS or private cloud delivery 
(on-premise) basis, typically with a three year licence, invoiced annually in 
advance. Sales are made directly through the Company's own sales team and via a 
growing network of partners in the UK and the US. 
 
The Directors believe that Acuity is well placed to continue to build market 
share in the growing GRC market which was valued at c.$14.9 billion in 2022 and 
is expected to grow strongly to c.$27.1 billion in 2027, as more organisations 
accept the need and importance to manage the risks affecting them (Source: 
MarketsandMarketsTM). 
 
ARM is headquartered and operates from its office in the UK (London). ARM 
currently employs or contracts with 19 people, all of whom are UK based. 
 
The table below sets out a summary of financial information on ARM, prepared in 
accordance with IFRS, for the periods indicated. As this is only a summary, 
Shareholders are advised to read the Admission Document and not rely solely on 
this summarised information.

The Directors believe that two of the largest drivers of enterprise value for a 
business using a SaaS/ subscriptions model are growth rate and scale. Since 
Drumz invested in ARM, ARM has been focused on building its commercial 
infrastructure to enable it to accelerate its growth and achieve greater scale. 
 
 1. Principal terms of the Acquisition 
 
On 5 April 2023, the Company entered into the Acquisition Agreements with the 
Founders and the Option Holders pursuant to which the Company has conditionally 
agreed to acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of ARM, not 
already owned by Drumz. The Sellers comprise (i) the Founders and (ii) the 
Option Holders (who are certain employees of ARM that have been granted options 
over shares in ARM). 
 
The Company entered into the SPA with the Founders on 5 April 2023. The options 
held by the Option Holders will be exercised and the shares issued as a result 
of that exercise shall be acquired by the Company on Completion pursuant to the 
terms of the Option Holder SPAs, which were entered into by the Company and 
each of the Option Holders on 5 April 2023. 
 
The total consideration for the Acquisition is £3.6 million, to be satisfied as 
to £0.5 million payable in cash and 45,709,570 New Ordinary Shares with a value 
of £3.1 million at the Closing Price. 
 
In addition, Acquisition Options over 2,420,506 New Ordinary Shares have been 
granted to the Founders in the event that the Company's share price does not at 
any time exceed an average of 6.99 pence on any five consecutive trading days 
during the three months immediately following Admission. 
 
The Cash Consideration and 44,973,171 Consideration Shares will be paid/issued 
to the Founders pursuant to the SPA. 736,399 Consideration Shares will be 
issued to the Option Holders pursuant to the Option Holder SPAs. 
 
Completion is conditional, inter alia, on the approval of the Resolutions at 
the General Meeting, Admission and no material adverse change having occurred 
in respect of ARM prior to Completion. 
 
Pursuant to the SPA, the Founders have also agreed to enter into new service 
agreements with the Company and have entered into the Lock-in Deeds. 
 
 1. Change of Name 
 
To reflect the new direction of the Company, the Board is proposing to change 
the name of the Company to: 
 
"Acuity RM Group plc" 
 
The change of name will become effective once the Registrar of Companies has 
issued a new certificate of incorporation on the change of name. This is 
expected to occur on or around 2 May 2023. The tradeable instrument display 
mnemonic ("TIDM") of the Company is expected to change to AIM:ACRM effective 
from 8.00 a.m. on or around 2 May 2023. 
 
 1. Share Reorganisation 
 
The Directors believe that the Company's current capital structure, with 
419,822,048 Existing Ordinary Shares of 0.1p each in issue and a share price at 
a fraction of a penny, is unwieldly in volume for a company of Drumz's market 
capitalisation and should therefore be simplified. The Share Reorganisation 
will, if implemented, result in a smaller number of shares in issue, which the 
Existing Directors believe is more appropriate for a company of Drumz's size, 
and will allow the Company's share price to be traded at a more realistic 
level. 
 
In addition, there are several hundred shareholders with holdings of shares 
which are worth less than £19 and which the Directors believe are simply 
uneconomic and/or unviable for shareholders to trade. Furthermore the cost of 
administering the register of shareholders and circularising them as required 
by law and by the Articles is disproportionately high. 
 
For these reasons the Directors consider it both appropriate and beneficial to 
the Company and to the Shareholders to undertake the Share Reorganisation. 
 
Under the Share Reorganisation, 1,952 new Ordinary Shares will be issued at a 
price of 0.1p per share to ensure that as part of the Share Reorganisation an 
exact whole number of Consolidated Ordinary Shares is issued. Following this, 
the Ordinary Shares in issue at the Record Date will be consolidated into 
Consolidated Ordinary Shares on the basis of one Consolidated Ordinary Share 
for every 2,000 Ordinary Shares. Each Consolidated Ordinary Share will then be 
sub-divided into 200 New Ordinary Shares and 1,800 New Deferred Shares. 
 
Most Shareholders will not, at the Record Date, hold a number of Existing 
Ordinary Shares that is exactly divisible by the consolidation ratio. The 
result of the Consolidation, if approved, will be that such Shareholders will 
be left with a fractional entitlement to a resulting New Ordinary Share. Any 
such fractions as a result of the Consolidation will be aggregated and, 
following the Sub-division, the Directors will (in accordance with the 
Articles) sell the aggregated shares in the market for the benefit of the 
relevant Shareholders. 
 
The proceeds from the sale of the fractional entitlements shall be distributed 
pro rata amongst the relevant Shareholders save that where a Shareholder is 
entitled to an amount which is less than £10 it will (in accordance with the 
Articles) not be distributed to such Shareholder but will be retained for the 
Company's benefit. 
 
The rights attaching to the New Ordinary Shares will be identical in all 
respects to those of the Existing Ordinary Shares. 
 
The New Deferred Shares created as a result of the Sub-division will have the 
same rights and restrictions as the Existing Deferred Shares. These rights are 
minimal, thereby rendering the Deferred Shares effectively valueless. The 
rights attaching to the Deferred Shares can be summarised as follows: 
 
  * they will not entitle holders to receive any dividend or other distribution 
    or to receive notice or speak or vote at general meetings of the Company; 
  * they will have no rights to participate in a return of assets on a winding 
    up; 
  * they will not be freely transferable; 
  * the creation and issue of further shares will rank equally or in priority 
    to the Deferred Shares; 
  * the passing of a resolution of the Company to cancel the Deferred Shares or 
    to effect a reduction of capital shall not constitute a modification or 
    abrogation of their rights; and 
  * the Company shall have the right at any time to purchase all of the 
    Deferred Shares in issue for an aggregate consideration of £1.00. 
 
There are no immediate plans to purchase or to cancel the Deferred Shares, 
although the Directors propose to keep the situation under review. 
 
Shareholders who hold more than 2,000 Existing Ordinary Shares, before the 
Share Reorganisation, will continue to hold approximately the same percentage 
of the Company's ordinary share capital post the Share Reorganisation. However, 
Shareholders will be diluted by the issue of the Consideration Shares, the 
Placing Shares, the Subscription Shares and the Adviser Shares. 
 
Existing share certificates will cease to be valid following the Share 
Reorganisation. New share certificates in respect of the New Ordinary Shares 
will be issued by first class post at the risk of the Shareholder within 10 
business days of Admission. No certificates will be issued in respect of the 
New Deferred Shares, nor will CREST accounts of Shareholders be credited in 
respect of any entitlement to the New Deferred Shares. No application will be 
made for the New Deferred Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM or any other 
investment exchange. 
 
CREST Shareholders will have their CREST accounts credited with their New 
Ordinary Shares following Admission, which is expected to be on 25 April 2023. 
 
 1. Details of the Placing and Subscription 
 
The Company has raised approximately £1.45 million (before expenses) pursuant 
to the Placing, through the proposed issue of 31,000,000 Placing Shares by the 
Company at the Issue Price. The Company has raised a further approximately £ 
55,000 (before expenses) pursuant to the Subscription, through the proposed 
issue of 1,222,222 Subscription Shares by the Company at the Issue Price. The 
Placing and Subscription Shares in aggregate represent approximately 26.6 per 
cent. of the Enlarged Ordinary Share Capital). 
 
After the expenses of the Proposals, estimated to be £0.55 million (excluding 
VAT) in total, of which £50,000 will be settled by the issue of the Adviser 
Shares, the Company is expected to received approximately £0.95 million from 
the Placing. WH Ireland have agreed that part of the fees and commissions 
payable under the Placing Agreement will be satisfied via the issue by the 
Company of the Adviser Shares, treated as fully paid, on Admission. 
 
The Issue Price represents a discount of 33.3 per cent. to the Closing Price . 
 
The Existing Directors (other than Nick Clark) intend to subscribe for up to 
2,000,000 New Ordinary Shares (a total aggregate amount of approximately £ 
90,000 at the Issue Price) as part of the Placing and Subscription. This 
intention is not legally binding and any subscriptions by the Existing 
Directors pursuant to the Placing and Subscription will be announced through 
the Regulatory News Service. 
 
The Placing and Subscription are conditional, among other matters, on the 
passing of the Resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting granting 
authority to the Directors to allot the New Ordinary Shares on a 
non-pre-emptive basis and on Admission. 
 
The Company, the Directors and Joint Bookrunners have entered into the Placing 
Agreement relating to the Placing which contains customary warranties from the 
Company in favour of the Joint Bookrunners in relation to, inter alia, the 
accuracy of the information in the Admission Document and other matters 
relating to the Company, ARM and the Enlarged Group's business. In addition, 
the Company has agreed to indemnify the Joint Bookrunners in relation to 
certain liabilities that they may incur in respect of the Placing. 
 
 1. Use of Placing and Subscription proceeds 
 
The net proceeds of the Placing and Subscription are expected to be 
approximately £0.95 million and are intended to be used for: 
 
  * the Cash Consideration of £0.5 million; 
  * the further expansion of the technical and sales and marketing team and 
    from Q4 2023 investment in STREAM® (particularly the development of its web 
    application) of approximately £0.3 million and; 
  * additional working capital for the Enlarged Group of approximately £0.15 
    million. 
 
As at 28 February 2023, the amounts owed to and from certain ARM Directors will 
be settled in full, resulting in a net outflow of approximately £80,175. 
 
9.  Existing Directors, Proposed Director and corporate governance 
 
The Existing Directors will remain on the Board post Admission and Simon 
Marvell will be appointed to the Board effective from and conditional on 
Admission. 
 
On Admission the Board will comprise: 
 
  * Simon Bennett, Independent Non-Executive Chairman 
  * Angus Forrest, Chief Executive Officer 
  * Simon Marvell, Executive Director 
  * Nick Clark, Non-Executive Director 
  * John Wakefield, Independent Non-Executive Director 
 
It is expected that Simon Marvell will retire as a Director during the course 
of 2023 at which time it is anticipated Kerry Chambers will be appointed to the 
Board. Following his resignation from the Board, it is expected that Simon will 
continue as a non-executive director of ARM and be available to the Enlarged 
Group on a consultancy basis. 
 
10. Current trading 
 
(a)      Drumz plc 
 
On 16 September 2022 the Company announced its interim results for the six 
months ended 30 June 2022. On 4 November 2022 the Company announced it had 
published a circular convening a general meeting for ordinary shareholders in 
order to adopt new articles and amend the class rights of deferred shares and a 
class meeting for holders of deferred shares approving the amendment of the 
class rights of deferred shares. On 22 November 2022 the Company announced that 
the resolution proposed at the general meeting was duly passed and that the 
class meeting was adjourned as it was inquorate. On 29 November 2022 the 
Company announced that the resolution proposed at the adjourned class meeting 
was duly passed. On 5 April 2023, the Company announced the proposed 
Acquisition of ARM, approval of waiver of obligations under Rule 9 of the 
Takeover Code, the conditional Placing and Subscription to raise £1.45 million 
and the proposed Share Reorganisation. 
 
(b)      ARM 
 
The unaudited results of ARM for the six months ended 30 September 2022 show 
revenue of £0.85 million up 16 per cent. on the equivalent period and an 
increased loss before tax of £0.40 million principally as a result of larger 
administrative costs and reflecting the investment in sales and marketing team. 
Since 30 September 2022, ARM has continued to trade in line with the ARM 
Directors' expectations. 
 
The key performance indicators of ARM as sourced from its unaudited management 
information are: 
 
  * monthly recurring revenue: £0.14 million as at 28 February 2023 (30 
    September 2022: £0.13 million, 31 March 2022: £0.10 million) 
  * forward contracted revenue: £2.17 million as at 28 February 2023 (30 
    September 2022: £1.99 million, 31 March 2022: £2.17 million) 
  * renewal rate: 96 per cent. as at 28 February 2023 (30 September 2022: 96 
    per cent., 31 March 2022: 82 per cent.) 
  * sales pipeline: £3.83 million as at 22 March 2023 (30 September 2022: £1.67 
    million, 31 March 2022: £1.36 million). 
 
Progress continues to be made in the development of Acuity's partner channel. 
In addition, the number of consultants at existing partners CGI and PA 
Consulting engaging with Acuity is increasing and two new referral partners 
(Security Scorecard and Mastercard RiskRecon, both from the US) have been taken 
on since 30 September 2022. Furthermore, some potentially significant new 
partner opportunities are emerging both in the UK and US. 
 
The ARM Directors expect that ARM's revenue for the year ending 31 March 2023 
will be second half weighted and believe that ARM is on track for revenue of 
circa £1.75 million for the year. The ARM Directors will be targeting revenue 
of over £3 million for the year ending 31 March 2024. 
 
11. Strategy of the Enlarged Group 
 
On completion of the Acquisition and readmission to AIM the Company will own 
100 per cent. of the shares of ARM and be treated as a trading company for the 
purposes of the AIM Rules. The Enlarged Group's strategy will be to develop its 
business to deliver long term, sustainable growth in shareholder value. In the 
short to medium term this is expected to come from organic growth and 
thereafter may also come from complementary acquisitions. 
 
The Group will be focused on key business objectives including: 
 
  * accelerate revenue growth both organically in existing and other global 
    markets; 
  * further penetrate existing markets by forging stronger customer and partner 
    relationships; 
  * improve productivity; 
  * continue to invest in developing STREAM® to enhance its offering; and 
  * become a profitable and cash generative group. 
 
The Directors believe that Acquisition and Admission will facilitate growth 
opportunities of the Enlarged Group. 
 
The principal place of business of Acuity and the Enlarged Group will move to 
80 Cheapside, London, EC2V 6EE with effect from 1 May 2023. 
 
12. Lock-in and orderly market arrangement 
 
(a) Lock-in 
 
The Company, the Joint Bookrunners and the Founders (who together will hold 
37.16 per cent. of the Enlarged Ordinary Share Capital) have entered into the 
Lock-in Deeds, pursuant to which the Founders have agreed that subject to 
certain customary exceptions, (i) for a period of 12 months from the date of 
Completion, neither they nor their connected persons shall transfer or dispose 
of the Concert Party Consideration Shares or shares which they hold upon 
exercise of any options or warrants over New Ordinary Shares granted to them 
without the prior permission of the Company and the Joint Bookrunners and (ii) 
for a further period of 12 months, the Founders shall, and will use best 
endeavours to procure that their associates shall, only transfer or dispose of 
New Ordinary Shares in which they have a beneficial interest through or with 
the agreement of the Joint Bookrunners (provided that such broker's terms are 
competitive to the terms being offered by other brokers and the sale price is 
at least equivalent to the price that the relevant transferee can obtain 
elsewhere), in order to maintain an orderly market in the New Ordinary Shares. 
 
(b) Orderly market arrangements 
 
The Existing Directors have entered into the Orderly Market Deeds, pursuant to 
which they have agreed that subject to certain customary exceptions, for a 
period of 24 months from the date of Admission, they shall, and will use best 
endeavours to procure that their associates shall, only transfer or dispose of 
New Ordinary Shares in which they have a beneficial interest through or with 
the agreement of the Joint Bookrunners (provided that such broker's terms are 
competitive to the terms being offered by other brokers and the sale price is 
at least equivalent to the price that the relevant transferee can obtain 
elsewhere), in order to maintain an orderly market in the New Ordinary Shares. 
 
13. Admission, settlement, CREST and dealings 
 
Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the Enlarged Ordinary 
Share Capital to be admitted to trading on AIM, conditional on (amongst other 
things) Shareholders' approval at the General Meeting. It is expected that 
Admission will become effective and that dealings in the Enlarged Ordinary 
Share Capital will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 25 April 2023. 
 
Following Admission, share certificates in respect of the New Ordinary Shares 
are expected to be despatched by post to subscribers who wish to receive New 
Ordinary Shares in certificated form by no later than 10 business days 
following Admission. 
 
In respect of subscribers in the Placing who wish to receive Placing Shares in 
uncertificated form, New Ordinary Shares are expected to be credited to their 
CREST stock accounts at 8.00 a.m. on 2 May 2023. The Company reserves the right 
to issue any New Ordinary Shares in certificated form should it consider this 
to be necessary or desirable. 
 
14.  Share options 
 
The Company has share options outstanding over 15 million Existing Ordinary 
Shares. Of the 15 million options, 11 million are exercisable at 0.65 pence per 
share (equivalent to 1.1 million exercisable at 6.5 pence per New Ordinary 
Share, post the Share Reorganisation) and four million are exercisable at an 
exercise price of 0.55 pence per Ordinary Share (equivalent to 0.4 million 
exercisable at 5.5 pence per New Ordinary Share, post the Share 
Reorganisation). 
 
The Directors believe that the success of the Company will depend to a high 
degree on the future performance of key employees in executing the Company's 
growth strategy. Therefore, following Admission, the Company intends to 
establish a share option scheme as an important means of retaining, attracting 
and motivating key employees and contractors, and also for aligning the 
interests of the management team with those of Shareholders. 
 
The Company shall have a pool of shares available for employee and management 
share options equivalent to 10 per cent. of the entire issued share capital of 
the Company from time to time.

The Company has agreed to issue Adviser Warrants on Admission over an aggregate 
of 2,149,999 New Ordinary Shares to Peterhouse and Clear Capital. 
 
16.  Dividend policy 
 
As the Company is in the early stages of executing its growth plan, the 
Directors intend to reinvest any future earnings for the foreseeable future to 
finance the growth of the Enlarged Group and to provide capital growth for 
Shareholders. The Directors will however consider the payment of dividends when 
it becomes commercially prudent to do so in accordance with applicable laws and 
subject always to the Enlarged Group having sufficient cash and distributable 
reserves for this purpose. 
 
17.  General Meeting and Resolutions 
 
The Admission Document will contain a notice convening a General Meeting of the 
Company to be held at 10:00 a.m. on24 April 2023 at the offices of Marriott 
Harrison LLP 80 Cheapside London EC2V 6EE at which resolutions will be proposed

shareholder authorities.

                          FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS 
 
All statements other than statements of historical fact, contained in this 
Announcement constitute "forward-looking statements". In some cases 
forward-looking statements can be identified by terms such as "expects", 
"predicts", "anticipates", "may", "should", "will", "intends", "plans", 
"believes", "targets", "seeks", "estimates", "aims", "projects", "pipeline" and 
variations of such words and similar expressions (including their negative or 
other variations) are intended to identify such forward-looking statements and 
expectations. These statements are not guarantees of future performance or the 
ability to identify and consummate investments and involve certain risks, 
uncertainties, outcomes of negotiations and due diligence and assumptions that 
are difficult to predict, qualify or quantify. These forward-looking statements 
are not based on historical facts but rather on the Directors' expectations 
regarding the Enlarged Group's future growth, results of operations, 
performance, future capital and other expenditures (including the amount, 
nature and sources of funding thereof), competitive advantages, business 
prospects and opportunities. Such forward-looking statements reflect the 
Directors' current beliefs and assumptions and are based on information 
currently available to management. Forward-looking statements involve 
significant known and unknown risks and uncertainties. A number of factors 
could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in 
the forward-looking statements including risks associated with vulnerability to 
general economic and business conditions, competition and other regulatory 
changes, actions by governmental authorities, the availability of capital 
markets, reliance on key personnel and other factors, many of which are beyond 
the control of the Company. These forward-looking statements are subject to, 
among other things, the risk factors described in the Admission Document. 
Although the forward-looking statements contained in this Announcement are 
based upon what the Directors believe to be reasonable assumptions, the Company 
cannot assure investors that actual results will be consistent with these 
forward-looking statements. Potential investors should therefore not place 
undue reliance on forward-looking statements (which speak only as of the date 
of this Announcement). No reliance should be put on any written or oral 
forward-looking statements that the Company, or persons acting on its behalf, 
may issue. Forward-looking statements contained in this Announcement based on 
past trends or activities should not be taken as a representation that such 
trends or activities will continue in the future and no forward-looking 
statement contained in this Announcement is intended to provide any 
representation, assurance or guarantee as to future events or results. The 
Company will comply with its obligations to publish updated information as 
required by FSMA, the Market Abuse Regulation and/or the AIM Rules for 
Companies or otherwise by law and/ or by any regulatory authority but assumes 
no further obligation to publish additional information. Subject to any 
requirement under applicable legislation or regulation, the Company will not 
(and expressly disclaims any undertaking or obligation to) publicly release any 
revisions it may make to any forward-looking statements or other information 
that may occur due to any change in its expectations or to reflect events or 
circumstances after the date of this Announcement.
