Pre-AGM Fundraising Update

The Company notes that, ahead of the AGM to be held on 21 August 2026 at 10.00 am, the Fundraising of £500,000 will now comprise: (i) £353,800 raised via a combination of the Placing and Subscription, in consideration for the issue of new Ordinary Shares at an issue price of £0.00117 per share; and (ii) £146,200 raised in consideration for the issue of convertible loan notes ("CLNs"), convertible into Ordinary Shares, at a conversion price of £0.00117 per share.  The CLNs will be convertible at the option of the noteholders, subject to customary conditions, prior to the maturity date of 24 months from the date of the CLN instrument. The CLNs will not attract interest and will be unsecured.

Accordingly, it is proposed that the chairman of the AGM, in accordance with the Company's articles of association, will, at the AGM, propose an amendment to Ordinary Resolution 5 of the Notice of AGM so that Resolution 5(a) reads: "up to a maximum aggregate nominal amount of £42,735.05 representing, post Sub-division, 302,393,162 Fundraising Shares and 124,957,265 Ordinary Shares to be issued on conversion of convertible loan notes."

The AGM Circular disclosed that Ruskin Capital Limited ("Ruskin Capital") was due to subscribe for £155,000 in the Fundraising but now will be replaced by Albany Capital Limited ("Albany Capital"), a Guernsey company ultimately controlled by David Rowland. Albany Capital has agreed to subscribe for (i) £80,000 in consideration for the issue of 68,376,068 Fundraising Shares; and (ii) £75,000 in consideration for the issue of £75,000 in principal value of CLNs. Following the issue of the Fundraising Shares and conversion of the CLNs to be issued to Albany Capital, together Ruskin Capital and Albany Capital will hold the following number of Ordinary Shares in the share capital of the Company:

Event	Total number of Ordinary Shares	% of the existing share capital of the Company	% of the enlarged share capital of the Company upon completion of the admission of all of the Fundraising Shares	% of the enlarged share capital of the Company post CLN conversion (assuming all CLNs are converted)
Ordinary Shares currently held	7,926,655	7.38%	1.93%	1.67%
Upon completion of the admission of all of the Fundraising Shares	76,302,723		18.62%	16.10
