Mike Houston and David Facey, as directors of the Company, and Gus Simbanegavi, as a director of the Company's subsidiary, are considered to be "related parties" as defined under the AIM Rules and accordingly, their participation in the Fundraising and issue of share options constitutes a related party transaction for the purposes of Rule 13 of the AIM Rules.

Paul Beck, as a former director of BlueRock within the last 12 months, is also considered to be a "related party" as defined under the AIM Rules and accordingly, Paul's participation in the Fundraising also constitutes a related party transaction for the purposes of Rule 13 of the AIM Rules.
