Publication of Prospectus

 

The Company has issued a prospectus dated 9 September 2025 relating to a
proposed offer for subscription for ordinary shares of £0.01 each in the
Company to raise up to £10 million with an over-allotment of up to a further
£10 million (the "Offer"), following approval from the Financial Conduct
Authority.

 

The Offer is now open and is expected to close no later than 2 April 2026 for
shares to be allotted in the 2025/26 tax year and, if the Offer is extended
beyond that date by the directors, no later than 2 September 2026 for shares
to be allotted in the 2026/27 tax year (unless fully subscribed by an earlier
date or previously extended by the directors to no later than 7 September
2025).

 

Pursuant to an offer agreement dated 9 September 2025 relating to the Offer
between, among others, the Company and Puma Investment Management Limited
("PIML"), PIML, as the promoter of the Offer, will receive a promoter fee of
up to 3% of the aggregate amount received by the Company under the Offer.
PIML, as the investment manager of the Company, is a relevant related party of
the Company under Listing Rule 11.5.4R, and the payment of such a fee by the
Company to PIML is a related party transaction of an adequate size under UK
Listing Rule 11.5.4R for UK Listing Rule 8.2.1R to apply. The Board considers
this transaction fair and reasonable as far as the shareholders of the Company
are concerned and have been provided with written confirmation of this by the
Company's sponsor, Howard Kennedy Corporate Services LLP.

 

The board of the Company reserves the right to close the Offer earlier.
