Update on Board Chair

 

On 23 May 2025, it was announced that Roy A Franklin intended to step down as
Chair and as a director of the Company's Board once there was greater clarity
regarding the Company's future direction. It was subsequently disclosed within
the 2024 Annual Report and Financial Statements published on 30 October 2025
that Roy intended to step down from the Company's Board following the General
Meeting at which the 2024 Annual Report and Financial Statements were laid
before shareholders. As announced on 4 December 2025, we have made significant
progress towards satisfaction of Regulatory Conditions in connection with the
acquisition of the Company by Sidara Limited (the "Acquisition"). As a result
of this, the Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the
Company for Roy to continue to serve as Chair until either closing of the
Acquisition or, if earlier, following the conclusion of the next Annual
General Meeting of the Company.
