Issue of Equity

Total Voting Rights

The Company confirms today that it has issued ordinary shares in the Company
to certain existing and previous Non-Executive Directors of the Company
pursuant to the NED Share Scheme.

As announced on 11 March 2021 and 26 July 2021, Philip Shelley, Simon Lough
and Helen Sinclair have agreed to receive ordinary shares in the Company in
lieu of 25 per cent of the fees that would otherwise be due to be paid to them
by the Company in respect of the 12 month period commencing on 1 December 2020
and ending on 30 November 2021. The ordinary shares for the period ending 30
November 2021, being the second tranche have been issued today at a price of
50.7p (being the 30 day VWAP ending 30 November 2021). The number of shares
issued are calculated after the deduction of relevant tax.

 Name of PDMR    Number of new shares  Total shares now held  Percentage of issued share capital now held
 Philip Shelley  13,552                1,594,150              2.57%
 Simon Lough     7,760                 479,544                0.77%
 Helen Sinclair  6,125                 7,017                  0.01%

 

In addition, 6,460 ordinary shares were issued to non-executive directors who
have subsequently left the firm, in lieu of 25% of their salary accrued up to
the date of their departure.

Accordingly, the Company has issued 33,897 Ordinary Shares today (the "New
Shares"). Application has been made to admit the New Shares to trading on AIM
("Admission"). Admission is expected to become effective on 11 February 2022
and the New Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's
existing ordinary shares in issues.

For the purposes of the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and
Transparency Rules ("DTRs"), the issued ordinary share capital of the Company
following Admission will consist of 62,086,027 ordinary shares with voting
rights attached (one vote per ordinary share). There are no ordinary shares
held in treasury. This total voting rights figure may be used by shareholders
as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine whether
they are required to notify their interests in, or a change to their interest
in, the Company.
