Resolutions 1 and 3 were proposed as ordinary resolutions and resolutions 2 and 4 were proposed as special resolutions.

*Votes "Withheld" are not votes in law and do not count in the number of votes counted for or against a resolution.

Pursuant to the Conditional Fundraising and Subscription, application has been made for the admission of 1,078,158,001 New Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM. In addition, the Company has become aware that the number ordinary shares of 0.01p each in the Company (the "Ordinary Shares") that are currently in issue exceeds the number of Ordinary Shares for which applications have been made for admission to trading on AIM by one Ordinary Share. As a result, the Company has applied for the additional Ordinary Share to be admitted to trading on AIM at the same time as the admission of the 1,078,158,001 New Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM (together "Admission").

It is expected that Admission will take place at 8.00 a.m. on or around 30 December 2021, subject to the Placing Agreement becoming fully unconditional save only for the condition as to Admission.
