The shares were issued under the Company's Employee Benefit Trust scheme.

Martin Whitaker and Richard Bungay have informed the Company that they intend to sell sufficient shares to pay all or part of their personal tax liability arising from the vesting of their deferred bonus awards once the New Ordinary Shares have been admitted for trading on AIM and will retain the balance of shares. These transactions will be subject to a further RNS announcement in due course.

Following the issue of shares, the total beneficial interest of Martin Whitaker and his connected parties is 980,053 Ordinary Shares, representing 0.58% of the total voting rights, the total beneficial interest of Richard Bungay is 339,990 Ordinary Shares, representing 0.20% of the total voting rights, and the total beneficial interest of Richard Ross and his connected parties is 2,262,155 Ordinary Shares, representing 1.34% of the total voting rights.

Application has been made for admission of the 973,682 New Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM, which is anticipated to occur at 8:00am on Monday 12 July 2021 ("Admission"). The New Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the existing shares of common stock of the Company. Following Admission, the Company's issued ordinary share capital will consist of 168,903,690 ordinary shares. The Company does not hold any shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of ordinary shares with voting rights in Diurnal following Admission will be 168,903,690.

The above figure of 168,903,690 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.
