The Broker Option has raised GBP100,000.08 at a price of 12p per share through the issue of 833,334 new Ordinary Shares ("Broker Option Shares"), together with associated Warrants.

This brings the total amount raised under the Fundraising and Broker Option to GBP880,000 (before expenses).

Admission

The Broker Option Shares will rank pari passu with the Company's existing Ordinary Shares and application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for admission of the Broker Option Shares to trading on AIM ("Admission"). Admission is expected to occur at 8.00 a.m. on or around 16 July 2020.

Additional broker warrants

Peterhouse has been issued with an additional 36,084 warrants to subscribe for a further new Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price per share. The warrants have a life term of 12 months from the date of Admission.

Total voting rights

The Company holds no Ordinary Shares in Treasury.
