As previously stated, the Debt Refinancing is conditional on receipt of the proceeds of the Placing and Subscription.
The Enlarged Share Capital of the Company following Admission will be 165,767,728 Ordinary Shares in aggregate.

This figure may be used by Shareholders (and others with notification obligations) as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
Capitalised terms not otherwise defined in the text of this announcement have the meanings given in the Company's announcement of 21 May 2021.
