Issue of New Shares

Directors of the Company, Ilian Iliev, Ed Hooper, Jonathan Robinson and PDMR, Nick Salisbury, have agreed to receive New Shares (as detailed in the table below) in settlement of amounts owed to them by the Company rather than settlement in cash.

Such amounts owed are in the case of Ilian Iliev and Ed Hooper in respect of a proportion of the annual bonus awarded to them for the year ended 31 December 2024, in the case of Jonathan Robinson in respect of a proportion of outstanding fees and in the case of Nick Salisbury in respect of a proportion of a bonus payment for 2025. The New Shares are being issued at a price of £0.55 per share, being the average of the closing mid-market share price for the Ordinary Shares over the five dealing days prior to the date of this announcement.

Director/PDMR	Number of New Shares issued	Total value
Ilian Iliev	127,273	£70,000.15
Ed Hooper	27,000	£14,850.00
Jonathan Robinson	34,484	£18,966.20
Nick Salisbury	11,384	£6,261.20

Application will be made for the New Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and it is expected that admission will take place on or around 12 December 2025 (Admission). The New Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing ordinary shares.

Total Voting Rights

Upon Admission, the issued share capital of the Company will consist of 27,967,532 Ordinary Shares (Enlarged Issued Share Capital). The Company does not hold any shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company from Admission will be 27,967,532.
