The employee has exercised options over 135,000 ordinary shares of 4p each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at an exercise price of 4.25p per option. To satisfy the exercise the Company is issuing 135,000 new Ordinary Shares (the "New Ordinary Shares"). Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission") and it is expected that Admission will be effective, and dealings will commence in respect of the New Ordinary Shares at 8.00 a.m. on or around 8 June 2026.

Following Admission, the Company will have 125,156,878 Ordinary Shares in issue.
