Admission and Total Voting Rights

Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the Salary Shares  
        and the Supplier Shares           to be admitted to trading on AIM
("Admission") and it is expected that such Admission will occur at 8.00 a.m.
on 31 March 2026. The Subscription Shares will be issued credited as fully
paid and will rank in full for all dividends and other distributions declared,
made or paid after the admission of the Subscription Shares, respectively and
will otherwise be identical to and rank on Admission pari passu in all
respects with the existing Ordinary shares.

Following Admission of the Salary Shares           and the Supplier Shares    
     , the Company will have 244,490,504 Ordinary Shares in issue, of which
none are held in treasury. Accordingly, the total number of voting rights in
the Company will be 244,490,504 and shareholders may use this figure 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.
