131,658 Ordinary Shares. Application will be made for these new
Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and dealings are
expected to commence on or around 26 September 2024.
The new Ordinary Shares will rank
pari passu with the existing shares of the Company. Following the
exercise of the options, the Company's issued share capital
consists of 58,847,018 Ordinary Shares. Accordingly, the figure of
