*Assumes that the Broker Option is exercised in full

Admission and Total Voting Rights

Application will be made to London Stock Exchange for admission of the 10,194,576 Firm Fundraising Shares to trading on AIM. It is expected that settlement of any such shares and First Admission will take place no later than 8.00 a.m. on 1 December 2023 and that dealings in the Firm Fundraising Shares on AIM will commence at that time.

Application will be made to London Stock Exchange for admission to trading of the 29,455,028 Conditional Fundraising Shares on AIM. Subject to the passing of the Fundraising Resolution at the General Meeting, it is expected that settlement of any such shares and Second Admission will take place no later than 8.00 a.m. on 19 December 2023 and that dealings in the Conditional Fundraising Shares will commence at that time.

Following First Admission there will be 113,209,438 Ordinary Shares in issue. This number may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company.

Following Second Admission, and assuming the Broker Option has not been exercised, there will be 142,664,466 Ordinary Shares in issue. This number may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company. If the Broker Option is exercised, the Company will release a further announcement advising shareholders of the revised aggregate number of Ordinary Shares which will be in issue at Second Admission and the total voting rights.

Publication of Circular

A circular, containing further details of the Fundraising and notice of the General Meeting to be held at 10.00 a.m. on 15 December 2023 to, inter alia, approve the resolution required to implement the Fundraising, is expected to be published to Shareholders shortly (the "Circular"). Following its publication, the Circular will be available on the Group's website at:

https://www.saietta.com/investors/reports-presentations/

Shareholders will be asked to vote in favour of the Fundraising Resolution at the General Meeting in order for the Conditional Fundraising to proceed. If the Fundraising Resolution is not passed by Shareholders, the Conditional Fundraising cannot complete, and the Company will not receive the net proceeds of the Conditional Fundraising. The Directors believe that successful completion of the Conditional Fundraising is required to fund the Company's short-term working capital requirements.
