have now vested, which will rank pari passu with existing Common Shares, to
trading on AIM ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become
effective, and trading will commence at 8:00 a.m. on 23 May 2022.
Following Admission, the enlarged issued share capital of the Company will be
309,549,605 Common Shares. The above figure may be used by shareholders as the
