Of the GBP2.5 million fundraising, GBP1.85 million was raised through a firm placing of 105,714,281 Ordinary Shares at 1.75p per share (the "Issue Price") and these shares were admitted to trading, and dealings in such shares commenced, on 6 December 2022. A further GBP0.3 million has been raised through a conditional placing of 17,142,857 Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price and GBP0.35 million has been raised through a conditional subscription, direct with the Company by Harry Dobson, the Company's Non-Executive Chairman, of 20,000,000 Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price. Both the conditional placing and the conditional subscription are subject to the passing of resolutions at the General Meeting and these resolutions are outlined in the Circular. Shareholders are strongly encouraged to vote in favour of the resolutions.
