Issue of Equity and Total Voting Rights
Application has been made for the admission to AIM ("Admission") of 1,500,000 new Ordinary Shares, being the total number of shares issued following the conversion of the Restricted Preference Shares.
The new Ordinary Shares rank pari passu with the Company's existing issued Ordinary Shares, and dealing is expected to commence on 27 December 2018.
Following Admission, the Company's enlarged issued share capital will be 15,791,777 Ordinary Shares. This figure of 15,791,777 Ordinary Shares may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
