FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

30 October 2024

Time Out Group plc

("Time Out" or the "Company")

Launch of Placing

Time Out Group plc (AIM: TMO), the global media and hospitality business,
today announces it is undertaking an equity placing (the "Placing") to raise
gross proceeds (before fees and expenses) of approximately £8 million through
the issue of new ordinary shares of £0.001 each ("Ordinary Shares") (the
"Placing Shares").

The Placing Shares will be issued at a price of 50 pence per share (the "Issue
Price"). The Issue Price represents a premium of approximately 9.9 per cent.
to the Closing Price of 45.5 pence per Existing Ordinary Share on 29 October
2024 (being the latest practicable date prior to the release of this
Announcement). The Placing Shares, based on an £8 million Placing, will
represent approximately 5 per cent. of the existing ordinary share capital of
the Company (the "Existing Ordinary Shares").

The Placing is being conducted through an accelerated bookbuild process (the
"Bookbuild"), which will be launched immediately following the release of this
Announcement, in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in Appendix
2 of this Announcement. Panmure Liberum Limited ("Panmure Liberum") is acting
as Nominated Adviser and Sole Bookrunner in relation to the Placing.

Transaction Highlights

 

·     Placing to raise approximately £8 million, before fees and
expenses, via the issue of Placing Shares at the Issue Price.

·     Net proceeds of the Placing will be utilised to fund capital
investment in connection with opening two new potential markets in London and
New York, and to accelerate Media technology investments.

·     The Placing is to be conducted by way of an accelerated bookbuild
process, which will commence immediately following this Announcement.

·     The Placing Shares will represent approximately 5 per cent. of the
Company's existing issued share capital, based on an £8 million Placing.

·     The Company's two largest Shareholders Oakley Capital Investments
Limited ("OCI") and Lombard Odier Asset Management (Europe) Limited ("Lombard
Odier") have indicated their intention to participate in the Placing.

·     Certain of the Directors, including Chris Ohlund, Matt Pritchard,
Peter Dubens, Alexander Collins and David Till, intend to participate in the
Placing (the "Director Participation"), in an amount which is expected to
comprise up to approximately £0.9 million (in aggregate) through the issue of
Placing Shares.

·     The final number of Placing Shares will be agreed by Panmure Liberum
and the Company at the close of the Bookbuild, and the result will be
announced as soon as practicable thereafter, confirming the final details of
the Placing.

·     The timing for the close of the Bookbuild shall be at the absolute
discretion of Panmure Liberum, in consultation with the Company. The Placing
is not underwritten.

·    The Placing is being conducted using the authorities to issue and
allot new shares granted to the Directors by Shareholders at the Company's
annual general meeting held on 12 December 2023 (the "2023 Annual General
Meeting"). Accordingly, the issue of the Placing Shares is not subject to the
approval of Shareholders.

 

Further details about the background to and reasons for the Placing are set
out below.

This Announcement is released by Time Out Group plc and contains inside
information for the purposes of Article 7 of MAR, and is disclosed in
accordance with the Company's obligations under Article 17 of MAR.

 

Market soundings (as defined in MAR) were taken in respect of the Placing with
the result that certain persons became aware of inside information (as defined
in MAR), as permitted by MAR.  This inside information is set out in this
Announcement. Therefore those persons that received inside information in a
market sounding are no longer in possession of such inside information
relating to the Company and its securities.

 

For the purposes of MAR, this Announcement is being made on behalf of the
Company by Matt Pritchard, Chief Financial Officer.

Background to and reasons for the Placing

The Company continues to pursue its growth strategy as a globally ambitious
brand across digital (Media) and in-real life (Market) channels. Both channels
share an audience and curate the best of the city, offering trusted
recommendations online and bringing the best chefs and cultural experiences
under one roof in a Market. Synergies between the channels are increasingly
important with both contributing to increasing global brand awareness, which
in turn increases traffic to both digital and in-real life channels.

As disclosed in the Company's FY24 preliminary annual results published today,
like-for-like revenue for the 52 weeks ended 30 June 2024 increased by 7 per
cent. compared to FY23. This was supported by an increase in the Company's
global monthly brand audience reach to 150 million.

The Board believes that the Placing, supported by the Company's brand and
historical growth record, will provide the Company the flexibility to invest
in:

·      two potential new owned and operated Markets in London and in New
York; and

·      a doubling of investment in technology to increase audience
reach.

Use of Proceeds

It is expected that the net proceeds of the Placing will be utilised primarily
to support Market expansion via two new owned and operated Markets in top-tier
world cities as well as investing in technology developments. The Company
believes that these investments have the potential to deliver, in aggregate,
over £2 million EBITDA in FY26, with potential for further benefit in FY27 of
over £3 million and FY28 of over £4 million.

Potential London Market

In the city in which Time Out first launched over 50 years ago, the Company is
proposing to open a new Market in excess of 20,000 sq.ft. in an area with high
footfall from both locals and tourists. An initial cash outlay of £2.6
million for the rent deposit (and associated fees) secures a 15-year lease of
the site and anticipated handover is in 2026, with opening expected in 2027.

EBITDA payback is expected in three years post-opening, excluding the
opportunity of a significant potential Media revenue halo and sponsorship
opportunities.

Smaller format, second food hall in New York

Time Out intends to enter into a 10-year (with an option to extend to 20-year)
lease over an c.10,000 sq. ft existing food hall in New York. This site is
targeted to re-open as a Time Out Market in summer 2025. It will cost the
Company c.£2 million to secure the site (a combination of rent deposit, capex
and associated fees). The Company believes that the new Market has the
potential to be EBITDA-generative in FY26, with payback targeted in two years
post-opening, which excludes potential significant revenue synergies with Time
Out New York Media.

The Company has not entered into any legally binding arrangements in relation
to either site, so there can therefore be no certainty that the current
negotiations will result in subsequent openings.

Technology Acceleration

As a globally recognised brand, there is the opportunity for Time Out to
leverage AI to extend its audience reach and the Company intends to make an
investment of approximately £3.4 million in technology developments. It is
anticipated that the technology developments will accelerate innovations by
18-24 months, focusing on personalisation which requires a new Content
Management System, translation of content to grow global audience, app-enabled
consumer engagements in Markets and expand content breadth supported by AI.
These technology investments over a 12-month period are to drive both
incremental and new revenue and EBITDA streams, with a targeted payback of
less than 36 months.

Current Trading and Outlook

The Company has a clear plan to drive like-for-like growth in existing
Markets, whilst continuing to convert the strong pipeline of potential new
Market sites and large media advertising deals and trading for FY25 remains in
line with management expectations.

Having opened seven markets in 10 years, the Company expects to open seven
Markets in the period from November 2023 to November 2025 and reach a minimum
of 16 markets by 2027. When coupled with a continued pipeline of new
opportunities, this growth can rapidly improve the operational gearing of the
Company's fixed cost base, meaning the Company has the potential to continue
to grow profitability at a faster rate than sales. The Company continues to
receive approaches from commercial parties keen to work with the Time Out
brand and is increasingly confident in its global strategy.

Preliminary results for the year ended 30 June 2024

 

The Company today separately announced its audited preliminary results for the
year to 30 June 2024.

 

 

Details of the Placing

The Placing will be conducted by way of a non-pre-emptive share issue. The
Placing is being conducted using the authorities to issue and allot Ordinary
Shares granted to the Directors by Shareholders at the 2023 Annual General
Meeting. Accordingly, the Placing and issue of the Placing Shares are not
subject to the approval of Shareholders. The Placing Shares shall be fully
paid and shall rank pari passu in all respects with all other Ordinary Shares.

Panmure Liberum is acting as Nominated Adviser and Sole Bookrunner in
connection with the Placing. The Placing is conditional, inter alia, upon
Admission and the placing agreement between the Company and Panmure Liberum
(the "Placing Agreement") not being terminated in accordance with its terms.

Pursuant to the Placing Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set out
therein, Panmure Liberum has agreed, as agent for and on behalf of the
Company, to use its reasonable endeavours to procure placees for the Placing
Shares, in such number, if any, to be determined following completion of the
Bookbuild and as may be agreed between the Company and Panmure Liberum and set
out in the executed term sheet (the "Term Sheet").

The Placing Shares are being offered by way of the Bookbuild, which will be
launched immediately following this Announcement in accordance with the terms
and conditions set out in Appendix 2 to this Announcement.

The Bookbuild will determine final demand for and participation in the
Placing. The timing of the closing of the Bookbuild is at the absolute
discretion of Panmure Liberum, in consultation with the Company. The
allocations will be determined by Panmure Liberum in their absolute discretion
(in consultation with the Company) and will be confirmed orally or by email to
Placees following the close of the Bookbuild. A further announcement of the
results of the Placing will be made by the Company following the completion of
the Bookbuild.

Director participations

 

The following Directors have indicated an intention to participate in the
Placing, following this Announcement:

 

 Director           Existing Ordinary Shares  Placing Shares
 Chris Ohlund       -                         200,000
 Matt Pritchard     -                         60,000
 Peter Dubens       8,350,485                 666,666
 Alexander Collins  34,055                    200,000

The participations of OCI and Lombard Odier and the participations of the
Directors in the Placing are expected to constitute related party transactions
pursuant to Rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies. Further information will
be set out in the Result of Placing announcement.

 

Admission and Settlement

 

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the Placing Shares
to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that Admission will be
effective and trading in the Placing Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 4
November 2024.

 

The Articles permit the Company to issue Ordinary Shares in uncertificated
form. CREST is a computerised paperless share transfer and settlement system
which allows shares and other securities to be held in electronic rather than
paper form. The Existing Ordinary Shares are already admitted to CREST and
therefore the Placing Shares will also be eligible for settlement in CREST.
The Placing Shares due to uncertificated holders are expected to be delivered
in CREST on 4 November 2024.

which involve a number of risks and uncertainties.  The Company cautions
readers that no forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance
and that actual results could differ materially from those contained in the

regulatory investigations, the success of future explorations, acquisitions
and other strategic transactions and the impact of competition. A number of
these factors are beyond the Company's control. As a result, the Company's

Information to Distributors

 

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained
within: (a) the UK's implementation of EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in
financial instruments, as amended ("UK MiFID II"); and (b) the UK's
implementation of Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU)
2017/593 supplementing UK MiFID II, and in particular Chapter 3 of the Product
Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook of the FCA (together, the
"MiFID II Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any
liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any
"manufacturer" (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance
Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Placing Shares have
been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that such
Placing Shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail
investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and
eligible counterparties, each as defined in UK MiFID II; and (ii) eligible for
distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by UK MiFID II
(the "Target Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the Target Market
Assessment, distributors (such term to have the same meaning as in the MiFID
II Product Governance Requirements) should note that: the price of the Placing
Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment;
the Placing Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and
an investment in the Placing Shares is compatible only with investors who do
not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in
conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient
resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target
Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual,
legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Placing.
Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment,
Panmure Liberum will only procure investors (pursuant to the Placing) who meet
the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties. For the
avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an
assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of UK MiFID II;
or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or
purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the Placing
Shares. Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market
assessment in respect of the Placing Shares and determining appropriate
distribution channels.

 

Panmure Liberum may, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations,
engage in transactions in relation to the Placing Shares and/or related
instruments for its own account and, except as required by applicable laws or
regulations, does not propose to make any public disclosure in relation to
such transactions.

Shares will be deemed to have read and understood this Announcement, including
this Appendix, in its entirety and to be making such offer on the terms and
conditions, and to be providing the representations, warranties,
acknowledgements, and undertakings contained in this Appendix.

In this Appendix, unless the context otherwise requires, "Placee" means a
Relevant Person (including individuals, funds or others) by whom or on whose
behalf a commitment to subscribe for Placing Shares has been given. In
particular, each such Placee represents, warrants and acknowledges that:

1.          it is a Relevant Person (as defined above) and undertakes
that it will acquire, hold, manage or dispose of any Placing Shares that are
allocated to it for the purposes of its business;

2.          in the case of any Placing Shares acquired by it within the
United Kingdom as a financial intermediary, as that term is used in Article

the Placing have not been acquired on behalf of, nor have they been acquired
with a view to their offer or resale to, persons in the United Kingdom or to
which the UK Prospectus Regulation otherwise applies other than UK Qualified
Investors or in circumstances in which the prior consent of Panmure Liberum
has been given to the offer or resale; or (ii) where Placing Shares have been
acquired by it on behalf of persons in the United Kingdom other than UK
Qualified Investors, the offer of those Placing Shares to it is not treated
under the UK Prospectus Regulation as having been made to such persons;

EEA as a financial intermediary, as that term is used in Article 5(1) of the

to their offer or resale to, persons in any member state of the EEA or to

has been given to the offer or resale; or (ii) where Placing Shares have been
acquired by it on behalf of persons in any member state of the EEA other than

4.          except as otherwise permitted by Panmure Liberum, (i) it

compliance with any applicable securities laws of any state or other
jurisdiction of the United States; and

8.          the Company and Panmure Liberum will rely upon the truth
and accuracy of the foregoing representations, acknowledgements and
agreements.

The Placing Shares have not been approved or disapproved by the US Securities
and Exchange Commission, any state securities commission or other regulatory
authority in the United States, nor have any of the foregoing authorities
passed upon or endorsed the merits of the Placing or the accuracy or adequacy
of this Announcement. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence
in the United States.

contractual or other legal obligation to forward a copy of this Appendix (or

Details of the Placing

Panmure Liberum, acting as Placing Agent, has entered into a placing agreement
with the Company (the "Placing Agreement") under which, subject to the
conditions set out therein, Panmure Liberum has agreed to use its reasonable
endeavours to procure subscribers for the Placing Shares at the Issue Price.

The Placing is conditional upon the Placing Agreement becoming unconditional
in all respects.

The Placing Shares will, when issued, rank pari passu in all respects with the
existing issued Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive dividends and
other distributions declared, made or paid following Admission (as defined
below).

Application for admission to trading

Application will be made to London Stock Exchange plc ("LSE") for admission of
the Placing Shares ("Admission") to trading on AIM, a market of that name
operated by LSE ("AIM") in accordance with the AIM Rules for Companies. It is
expected that Admission will become effective and that dealings in the Placing
Shares will commence on AIM at 8.00 a.m. on 4 November 2024, and in any event
no later than 5.00 p.m. on 18 November 2024.

Bookbuild

Panmure Liberum will today commence the bookbuilding process in respect of the
Placing (the "Bookbuild") to determine demand for participation in the Placing
by Placees. This Appendix gives details of the terms and conditions of, and
the mechanics of participation in, the Placing. No commissions will be paid to
Placees or by Placees in respect of any Placing Shares.

Panmure Liberum and the Company shall be entitled to effect the Placing by
such alternative method to the Bookbuild as they may, in their sole
discretion, determine.

Participation in, and principal terms of, the Placing

Panmure Liberum is arranging the Placing as agent for and on behalf of the
Company. Participation in the Placing will only be available to Placees who
may lawfully be, and are, invited to participate by Panmure Liberum. Panmure
Liberum's agents and their respective affiliates are each entitled to enter
bids in the Bookbuild as principal.

The number of Placing Shares to be issued will be agreed between Panmure
Liberum and the Company following completion of the Bookbuild. The number of
Placing Shares will be announced on a Regulatory Information Service following
the completion of the Bookbuild.

To bid in the Bookbuild, Placees should communicate their bid by telephone or
in writing to their usual sales contact at Panmure Liberum. Each bid should
state the number of Placing Shares which the prospective Placee wishes to
acquire at the Issue Price established by the Company and Panmure Liberum.
Bids may be scaled down by Panmure Liberum on the basis referred to below.

The Bookbuild is expected to close no later than 6.00 p.m. on 30 October 2024,
but may be closed earlier or later at the absolute discretion of Panmure
Liberum. Panmure Liberum may, in agreement with the Company, accept bids that
are received after the Bookbuild has closed. The Company reserves the right
(upon the agreement of Panmure Liberum) to reduce or seek to increase the
amount to be raised pursuant to the Placing.

Panmure Liberum will determine in its absolute discretion (in consultation
with the Company) the extent of each Placee's participation in the Placing,
which will not necessarily be the same for each Placee and this will be
confirmed orally or in writing by Panmure Liberum or one of its subsidiary
undertakings (each a member of the "Panmure Liberum Group") as agent of the
Company ("Confirmation"). No element of the Placing will be underwritten. The
Confirmation will constitute an irrevocable legally binding commitment upon
that person (who will at that point become a Placee) to subscribe for the
number of Placing Shares allocated to it at the Issue Price on the terms and
conditions set out in this Appendix (a copy of the terms and conditions having
been provided to the Placee prior to or at the same time as such oral or
written confirmation) and in accordance with the Company's articles of
association. Each prospective Placee's allocation and commitment will be
evidenced by a contract note or an electronic trade confirmation issued to
such Placee by the Panmure Liberum Group. The terms of this Appendix will be
deemed incorporated by reference therein. For the avoidance of doubt, the
Confirmation constitutes each Placee's irrevocable legally binding agreement,
subject to the Placing Agreement not having been terminated, to pay the
aggregate settlement amount for the Placing Shares to be subscribed for by
that Placee regardless of the total number of Placing Shares (if any)
subscribed for by any other investor(s) and, except with the consent of
Panmure Liberum, the Confirmation will not be capable of variation or
revocation after the time at which it is submitted.

Panmure Liberum reserves the right to scale back the number of Placing Shares
to be subscribed by any Placee in the event of an oversubscription under the
Placing. Panmure Liberum also reserves the right not to accept offers for
Placing Shares or to accept such offers in part rather than in whole.

Each Placee will be required to pay to the Panmure Liberum Group, on the
Company's behalf, the Issue Price for each Placing Share agreed to be acquired
by it under the Placing in accordance with the terms set out herein. Each
Placee's obligation to acquire and pay for Placing Shares under the Placing
will be owed to the Panmure Liberum Group and the Company. Each Placee has an
immediate, separate, irrevocable and binding obligation, owed to the Panmure
Liberum Group, to pay to it (or as it may direct) in cleared funds an amount
equal to the product of the Issue Price and the number of Placing Shares such
Placee has agreed to subscribe for. Each Placee will be deemed to have read
and understood this Appendix in its entirety, to be participating in the
Placing upon the terms and conditions contained in this Appendix, and to be
providing the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgements and
undertakings, in each case as contained in this Appendix. To the fullest
extent permitted by law and applicable FCA rules (the "FCA Rules"), neither
(i) Panmure Liberum, (ii) any of its respective directors, officers, employees
or consultants, or (iii) to the extent not contained within (i) or (ii), any
person connected with Panmure Liberum as defined in the FCA Rules ((i), (ii)
and (iii) being together "affiliates" and individually an "affiliate"), shall
have any liability to Placees or to any person other than the Company in
respect of the Placing.

Irrespective of the time at which a Placee's participation in the Placing is
confirmed, settlement for all Placing Shares to be acquired pursuant to the
Placing will be required to be made at the same time, on the basis explained
below under 'Registration and settlement'.

Completion of the Placing will be subject to the fulfilment of the conditions
referred to below under 'Conditions of the Placing' and to the Placing not
being terminated on the basis referred to below under 'Termination of the
Placing Agreement'. In the event that the Placing Agreement is not entered
into or does not otherwise become unconditional in any respect or, after
having been entered into, is terminated prior to Admission, the Placing will
not proceed and all funds delivered by the Placee to a member of the Panmure
Liberum Group in respect of the Placee's participation will be returned to the
Placee at the Placee's risk without interest.

By participating in the Placing, each Placee agrees that its rights and
obligations in respect of the Placing will terminate only in the circumstances
described below and will not otherwise be capable of rescission or termination
by the Placee.

By participating in the Placing, each Placee is deemed to have read and
understood this Announcement, including this Appendix, in its entirety and to
be making such offer on the terms and conditions, and to be providing the
representations, warranties, acknowledgements, and undertakings contained in
this Appendix.

To the fullest extent permissible by law, neither the Company, nor Panmure
Liberum nor any of their respective affiliates shall have any liability to
Placees (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or
otherwise). In particular, neither Panmure Liberum nor any of its affiliates
shall have any liability (including, to the extent permissible by law, any
fiduciary duties) in respect of Panmure Liberum's conduct of the Bookbuild or
of such alternative method of effecting the Placing as Panmure Liberum and the
Company may agree.

Conditions of the Placing

The obligations of Panmure Liberum under the Placing Agreement in respect of
the Placing Shares are conditional on, amongst other things:

(a)        the Company having complied with all of its material
obligations under the Placing Agreement (to the extent that such obligations
fall to be performed prior to Admission); and

(b)        Admission having occurred not later than 8.00 a.m. on 4
November 2024 or such later date as the Company and Panmure Liberum may agree,
but in any event not later than 5.00 p.m. on 18 November 2024.

If (i) any of the conditions contained in the Placing Agreement in relation to
the Placing Shares are not fulfilled or waived by Panmure Liberum by the
respective time or date where specified, (ii) any of such conditions become
incapable of being fulfilled or (iii) the Placing Agreement is terminated in
the circumstances specified below, the Placing will not proceed and the
Placee's rights and obligations hereunder in relation to the Placing Shares
shall cease and terminate at such time and each Placee agrees that no claim
can be made by the Placee in respect thereof.

Panmure Liberum, at its discretion and upon such terms as it thinks fit, may
waive (where capable of waiver) compliance by the Company with the whole or
any part of any of the Company's obligations in relation to the conditions in
the Placing Agreement. Any such extension or waiver will not affect Placees'
commitments as set out in this Announcement (including this Appendix).

None of Panmure Liberum, the Company or any other person shall have any
liability to any Placee (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a
Placee or otherwise) in respect of any decision they may make as to whether or
not to waive or to extend the time and/or the date for the satisfaction of any
condition to the Placing nor for any decision they may make as to the
satisfaction of any condition or in respect of the Placing generally, and by
participating in the Placing each Placee agrees that any such decision is
within the absolute discretion of Panmure Liberum.

Termination of the Placing Agreement

Panmure Liberum is entitled at any time before Admission, to terminate the
Placing Agreement in relation to its obligations in respect of the Placing
Shares by giving notice to the Company if, amongst other things:

(a)        the Company is in material breach of any of its obligations
under the Placing Agreement; or

(b)        any statement in this Announcement or any other document or
announcement issued or published by or on behalf of the Company in connection
with the Placing has become or been discovered to be untrue or inaccurate in
any material respect or misleading; or

(c)        any warranty given by the Company in the Placing Agreement
is, or would be if repeated at any time up to Admission (by reference to the
facts and circumstances then existing), untrue or inaccurate in any material
respect or misleading; or

(d)        matters have arisen or have been discovered which would, if
this Announcement, or any other document or announcement issued or published
by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the Placing, were to be
issued at that time, constitute a material inaccuracy or omission therefrom;
or

(e)        there shall have occurred, happened or come into effect (i) any
outbreak or escalation of hostilities, any attack or act of terrorism, any
declaration of a national emergency or war and any other calamity or crisis of
national or international effect; or (ii) any suspension or limitation of
trading generally on the New York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ National Market
or the LSE, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or
maximum ranges for prices of securities have been required, by any of said
exchanges or by such system or by order of any governmental authority, or a
material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities
settlement or clearance services in the United States or in Europe (including
the United Kingdom); or (iii) any material adverse change in national or
international financial, monetary, economic, political or market conditions,
which, in each case, in the opinion of Panmure Liberum acting in good faith
makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the Placing.

Upon such termination, the parties to the Placing Agreement shall be released
and discharged (except for any liability arising before or in relation to such
termination) from their respective obligations under or pursuant to the
Placing Agreement, subject to certain exceptions.

By participating in the Placing, Placees agree that the exercise by Panmure
Liberum of any right of termination or other discretion under the Placing
Agreement shall be within the absolute discretion of Panmure Liberum and that
they need not make any reference to Placees and that they shall have no
liability to Placees whatsoever in connection with any such exercise or
failure so to exercise.

No prospectus

No offering document, prospectus or admission document has been or will be
submitted to be approved by the FCA or submitted to the LSE in relation to the
Placing and Placees' commitments will be made solely on the basis of their own
assessment of the Company, the Placing Shares and the Placing based on the
Company's publicly available information taken together with the information
contained in this Announcement (including this Appendix) released by the
Company today and any information publicly announced to a Regulatory
Information Service by or on behalf of the Company on or prior to the date of
this Announcement, and subject to the further terms set forth in the contract
note to be provided to individual prospective Placees.

Each Placee, by accepting a participation in the Placing, agrees that the
content of this Announcement (including this Appendix) is exclusively the
responsibility of the Company and confirms that it has neither received nor
relied on any other information, representation, warranty, or statement made
by or on behalf of the Company, Panmure Liberum or any other person and none
of Panmure Liberum nor the Company nor any other person will be liable for any
Placee's decision to participate in the Placing based on any other
information, representation, warranty or statement which the Placees may have
obtained or received. Each Placee acknowledges and agrees that it has relied
on its own investigation of the business, financial or other position of the
Company in accepting a participation in the Placing. No Placee should consider
any information in this Announcement (including this Appendix) to be legal,
tax or business advice. Each Placee should consult its own legal adviser, tax
adviser and/or business adviser for legal, tax and business advice regarding
an investment in the Placing Shares. Nothing in this paragraph shall exclude
the liability of any person for fraudulent misrepresentation.

Registration and settlement

Settlement of transactions in the Placing Shares following Admission will take
place within the system administered by CREST, subject to certain exceptions.
The Company reserves the right to require settlement for and delivery of the
Placing Shares (or a portion thereof) to Placees by such other means that it
deems necessary, including in certificated form if, in the reasonable opinion
of the Panmure Liberum Group, delivery or settlement is not possible or
practicable within the CREST system or would not be consistent with the
regulatory requirements in the Placee's jurisdiction.

Participation in the Placing is only available to persons who are invited to
participate in it by Panmure Liberum.

A Placee's commitment to acquire a fixed number of Placing Shares under the
Placing will be agreed orally or in writing with the Panmure Liberum Group.
Such agreement will constitute a legally binding commitment on such Placee's
part to acquire that number of Placing Shares at the Issue Price on the terms
and conditions set out or referred to in this Appendix and subject to the
Company's articles of association.

Following the close of the Bookbuild, each Placee allocated Placing Shares in
the Placing will be sent a contract note or electronic trade confirmation in
accordance with the standing arrangements in place with the Panmure Liberum
Group, stating the number of Placing Shares allocated to it at the Issue
Price, the aggregate amount owed by such Placee to Panmure Liberum and
settlement instructions.

Each Placee agrees that it will do all things necessary to ensure that
delivery and payment is completed in accordance with the standing CREST or
certificated settlement instructions that it has in place with the Panmure
Liberum Group. For the avoidance of doubt, Placing allocations will be booked
with a trade date of 31 October 2024 and settlement date of 4 November 2024.
Settlement will take place on a delivery versus payment basis.

Interest is chargeable daily on payments not received from Placees on the due
date in accordance with the arrangements set out above at the rate of two
percentage points above SONIA as determined by Panmure Liberum.

Each Placee is deemed to agree that, if it does not comply with these
obligations, the Company may sell any or all of the Placing Shares allocated
to that Placee on such Placee's behalf and retain from the proceeds, for the
Company's account and benefit, an amount equal to the aggregate amount owed by
the Placee plus any interest due. The relevant Placee will, however, remain
liable for any shortfall below the aggregate amount owed by it and may be
required to bear any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax (together with any
interest or penalties thereon or other similar taxes imposed in any
jurisdiction) which may arise upon the sale of such Placing Shares on such
Placee's behalf. By communicating a bid for Placing Shares, each Placee
confers on the Panmure Liberum Group all such authorities and powers necessary
to carry out any such transaction and agrees to ratify and confirm all actions
which the Panmure Liberum Group lawfully takes on such Placee's behalf.

If Placing Shares are to be delivered to a custodian or settlement agent,
Placees should ensure that the contract note or electronic trade confirmation
is copied and delivered immediately to the relevant person within that
organisation. Insofar as Placing Shares are registered in a Placee's name or
that of its nominee or in the name of any person for whom a Placee is
contracting as agent or that of a nominee for such person, such Placing Shares
should, subject as provided below, be so registered free from any liability to
UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. If there are any other circumstances
in which any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax (including any interest and
penalties relating thereto) is payable in respect of the allocation,
allotment, issue or delivery of the Placing Shares (or for the avoidance of
doubt if any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax is payable in connection
with any subsequent transfer of or agreement to transfer Placing Shares),
neither the Panmure Liberum Group nor the Company shall be responsible for the
payment thereof. Placees will not be entitled to receive any fee or commission
in connection with the Placing.

basis that it is not and will not be a client of Panmure Liberum for the
purposes of the Placing and that Panmure Liberum has no duties or
responsibilities to it for providing the protections afforded to its clients
or for providing advice in relation to the Placing nor in respect of any
representations, warranties, undertakings or indemnities contained in the

the Placing Shares will be (i) itself or (ii) its nominee, as the case may be.

Shares will be allotted to the CREST stock account of Panmure Liberum who will

is acting) to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts as regards any
claim, dispute or matter arising out of any such contract, except that
enforcement proceedings in respect of the obligation to make payment for the

and accuracy of the representations, warranties and acknowledgements set forth

required by, any applicable law or regulation, administrative or legal
proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters set forth herein;

28.        it agrees to indemnify on an after tax basis and hold the

representations, warranties, acknowledgements, agreements and undertakings in
this Appendix and further agrees that the provisions of this Appendix shall
survive after completion of the Placing;

29.        it will acquire any Placing Shares subscribed for by it for
its account or for one or more accounts as to each of which it exercises sole
investment discretion and it has full power to make the acknowledgements,
representations and agreements herein on behalf of each such account;

30.        its commitment to subscribe for Placing Shares on the terms
set out herein and in the relevant contract notes will continue
notwithstanding any amendment that may in the future be made to the terms of
the Placing and that Placees will have no right to be consulted or require
that their consent be obtained with respect to the Company's conduct of the
Placing. The foregoing representations, warranties and confirmations are given
for the benefit of the Company and Panmure Liberum. The agreement to settle a
Placee's subscription (and/or the subscription of a person for whom such
Placee is contracting as agent) free of stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax
depends on the settlement relating only to the subscription by it and/or such
person direct from the Company for the Placing Shares in question. Such
agreement assumes, and is based on a warranty from each Placee, that neither
it, nor the person specified by it for registration as holder, of Placing
Shares is, or is acting as nominee or agent for, and that the Placing Shares
will not be allotted to, a person who is or may be liable to stamp duty or
stamp duty reserve tax under any of sections 67, 70, 93 and 96 of the Finance
Act 1986 (depositary receipts and clearance services). If there are any such
arrangements, or the settlement relates to any other dealing in the Placing
Shares, stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax may be payable. In that event the
Placee agrees that it shall be responsible for such stamp duty or stamp duty
reserve tax, and neither the Company nor Panmure Liberum shall be responsible
for such stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. If this is the case, each
Placee should seek its own advice and notify Panmure Liberum accordingly;

31.        no action has been or will be taken by any of the Company,
Panmure Liberum or any person acting on behalf of the Company or Panmure
Liberum that would, or is intended to, permit a public offer of the Placing
Shares in any country or jurisdiction where any such action for that purpose
is required;

32.        in making any decision to subscribe for the Placing Shares,
it has knowledge and experience in financial, business and international
investment matters as is required to evaluate the merits and risks of
subscribing for the Placing Shares. It further confirms that it is experienced
in investing in securities of this nature in this sector and is aware that it
may be required to bear, and is able to bear, the economic risk of, and is
able to sustain a complete loss in connection with the Placing. It further
confirms that it relied on its own examination and due diligence of the
Company and its associates taken as a whole, and the terms of the Placing,
including the merits and risks involved;

33.        it has (i) made its own assessment and satisfied itself
concerning legal, regulatory, tax, business and financial considerations in
connection herewith to the extent it deems necessary; (ii) had access to
review publicly available information concerning the Company that it considers
necessary or appropriate and sufficient in making an investment decision;
(iii) reviewed such information as it believes is necessary or appropriate in
connection with its subscription of the Placing Shares; and (iv) made its
investment decision based upon its own judgment, due diligence and analysis
and not upon any view expressed or information provided by or on behalf of
Panmure Liberum;

34.        it may not rely on any investigation that Panmure Liberum or
any person acting on its behalf may or may not have conducted with respect to
the Company or the Placing and Panmure Liberum has not made any representation
to it, express or implied, with respect to the merits of the Placing, the
subscription for the Placing Shares, or as to the condition, financial or
otherwise, of the Company, or as to any other matter relating thereto, and
nothing herein shall be construed as a recommendation to it to subscribe for
the Placing Shares. It acknowledges and agrees that no information has been
prepared by Panmure Liberum or the Company for the purposes of this Placing;

35.        it will not hold Panmure Liberum or any of its affiliates or
any person acting on their behalf responsible or liable for any misstatements
in or omission from any publicly available information relating to the Company
or information made available (whether in written or oral form) in
presentations or as part of roadshow discussions with investors relating to
the Company (the "Information") and that neither Panmure Liberum nor any
person acting on behalf of Panmure Liberum makes any representation or
warranty, express or implied, as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of
such Information or accepts any responsibility for any of such Information;

36.        the Placee is a person located outside the United States and
is subscribing for Placing Shares only in an "offshore transaction" as defined
in and pursuant to Regulation S;

37.        the Placee is not acquiring Placing Shares as a result of
any "directed selling efforts" as defined in Regulation S;

38.        it is not acting on a non-discretionary basis for the account
or benefit of a person located within the United States at the time the
undertaking to subscribe for Placing Shares is given; and

39.       the foregoing representations, warranties and confirmations are
given for the benefit of the Company and the Panmure Liberum Group and are
irrevocable. The Company, the Panmure Liberum Group and their respective
affiliates, agents, directors, officers and employees and others will rely
upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing acknowledgements,
representations, warranties and agreements and it agrees that if any of the
acknowledgements, representations, warranties and agreements made in
connection with its acquiring of Placing Shares is no longer accurate, it
shall promptly notify the Company and Panmure Liberum. It irrevocably
authorises Panmure Liberum and the Company to produce this Announcement
pursuant to, in connection with, or as may be required by, any applicable law
or regulation, administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with
respect to the matters set out herein.

The agreement to allot and issue Placing Shares to Placees (or the persons for
whom Placees are contracting as nominee or agent) free of stamp duty and stamp
duty reserve tax relates only to their allotment and issue to Placees, or such
persons as they nominate as their agents, direct from the Company for the
Placing Shares in question. Such agreement is subject to the representations,
warranties and further terms above and assumes, and is based on the warranty
from each Placee, that the Placing Shares are not being acquired in connection
with arrangements to issue depositary receipts or to issue or transfer the
Placing Shares into a clearance service. If there are any such arrangements,
or the settlement relates to any other dealing in the Placing Shares, stamp
duty or stamp duty reserve tax or other similar taxes may be payable, for
which neither the Company nor the Panmure Liberum Group will be responsible
and each Placee shall indemnify on an after-tax basis and hold harmless the
Company, the Panmure Liberum Group and their respective affiliates, agents,
directors, officers and employees for any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax
paid by them in respect of any such arrangements or dealings.

In addition, Placees should note that they will be liable for any stamp duty
and all other stamp, issue, securities, transfer, registration, documentary or
other duties or taxes (including any interest, fines or penalties relating
thereto) payable outside the United Kingdom by them or any other person on the
subscription by them of any Placing Shares or the agreement by them to
subscribe for any Placing Shares. Each Placee agrees to indemnify on an
after-tax basis and hold harmless the Company, the Panmure Liberum Group and
their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers and employees from
any and all interest, fines or penalties in relation to any such duties or
taxes to the extent that such interest, fines or penalties arise from the
unreasonable default or delay of that Placee or its agent.

Each Placee should seek its own advice as to whether any of the above tax
liabilities arise and notify Panmure Liberum accordingly.

Each Placee and any person acting on behalf of each Placee acknowledges and
agrees that Panmure Liberum or any of its affiliates may, at their absolute
discretion, agree to become a Placee in respect of some or all of the Placing
Shares.

When a Placee or person acting on behalf of the Placee is dealing with the
Panmure Liberum Group, any money held in an account with the Panmure Liberum
Group on behalf of the Placee and/or any person acting on behalf of the Placee
will not be treated as client money within the meaning of the rules and
regulations of the FCA made under the FSMA. The Placee acknowledges that the
money will not be subject to the protections conferred by the client money
rules; as a consequence, this money will not be segregated from Panmure
Liberum Group money in accordance with the client money rules and will be used
by the Panmure Liberum Group in the course of its own business; and the Placee
will rank only as a general creditor of the Panmure Liberum Group.

All times and dates in this Announcement may be subject to amendment. A member
of the Panmure Liberum Group shall notify the Placees and any person acting on
behalf of the Placees of any changes.

Past performance is not a guide to future performance and persons needing
advice should consult an independent financial adviser.
