Notes:

(1) Resolution 1 was an ordinary resolution, requiring more than 50% of shareholders' votes to be cast in favour of the resolution. Resolution 2 was a special resolution, requiring at least 75% of shareholders' votes to be cast in favour of the resolution.

   (2)   Votes 'For' include those votes giving the Chairman discretion. 

(3) The number of ordinary shares in issue on 15 November 2021 was 550,658,155. Shareholders are entitled to one vote per share.

(4) A "vote withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation proportion of the votes "for" or "against" a resolution.

Accordingly, and as set out in the announcement dated 15 October 2021, the Company now has the requisite authority to complete the Placing and Subscription raising total gross proceeds of approximately GBP250 million.

Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the new ordinary shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will take place at 8.00 a.m. on 16 November 2021.

Following Admission, the total number of ordinary shares in issue in the Company will be 613,158,155. The Company holds no shares in treasury, and therefore the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 613,158,155 following Admission, and this figure 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 to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Capitalised terms used in this announcement have the meanings given to them in the proposed accelerated capital raise announcement published by the Company on 14 October 2021.
