Total Voting Rights

LONDON, UK (April 16, 2021) - Helium One Global Ltd ("Helium One", "we", "us" or the "Company") (LSE: HE1) is pleased to announce that it has raised gross proceeds of GBP10 million through a subscription and placing (the "Placing" and "Subscription" together the "Fundraise") by the issue of 100,000,000 Ordinary Shares (the "Fundraise Shares") at 10p per Fundraise Share ("Issue Price") with institutional and other investors.

Highlights

-- Significiantly oversubscribed Placing and Subscription raising GBP10 million at 10p per share

-- Funds will be used to continue the fast-track development programme of the Company's Rukwa project in Tanzania

-- Proceeds will enable the Company to save significant time and costs by keeping drilling equipment in the field to carry out appraisal work immediately following intended exploration success

-- Proceeds will also allow contracting of 3D seismic over any discovery, maximising resource to reserve conversion and allowing completion of the majority of the field appraisal programme before the end of 2021

   --      Company's directors intend to participate in the Subscription 

David Minchin, CEO of Helium One, commented:

"We are delighted to be able to continue the fast-track development of our Rukwa project in Tanzania. The response that we have seen during this oversubscribed fundraise endorses the confidence that we feel in our assets and planned exploration drilling campaign, as well as giving financial support necessary to contract all appraisal work to avoid downtime between any discovery and economic evaluation.

"The fundraise has seen broad support from a number of institutional and other investors, who support our aggressive exploration and appraisal strategy, as well as the quality and scale of our assets.

"Helium remains a vital resource, essential and irreplaceable, and which is a crucial component of growing next-generation technology focussed business. We believe our Rukwa Helium Project is well placed to become a strategic asset in supplying anticipated zero-carbon primary helium into this demand. Whilst we are fully funded for our three well exploration programme, this fundraise will enable us to aggressively carry out our appraisal drilling and 3D seismic programme immediately following any discovery.

"We look forward to welcoming our new shareholders on board at this exciting time for the Company as we prepare to commence our maiden drilling."

Background to the Placing and Subscription and Use of Proceeds

Since its admission to trading on AIM in December 2020, the Company has progressed an aggressive exploration programme in Tanzania with the commencement of the seismic programme in February 2021 and award of the drilling contract in March 2021. A three exploration well drilling programme is targeted to commence in mid-May 2021 upon receipt of environmental and social impact assessment ("ESIA") approvals and data processing from the ongoing infill seismic campaign.

Whilst the three well exploration programme remains fully funded from the Company's existing cash resources, additional funds raised at this time will now enable the Company to contract the drill rig to allow appraisal drilling to take place immediately following the anticipated exploration success. Contracting the rig now will keep the rig on site and save an anticipated c.4 months or more of drilling downtime and c.US$500k in rig mobilisation and demobilisation costs. The proceeds will also allow for the mobilisation of a 3D seismic programme to maximise anticipated reserve to resource conversion andwill fund the costs of a feasibility study as well as working capital and licence fees.

   --      Appraisal well drilling: GBP2.4 million 
   --      Enhanced well completion: GBP0.5 million 
   --      3D seismic programme: GBP3.8 million 
   --      Feasibility Studies and licence fees: GBP1.2 million 
   --      Additional operational contingencies, working capital and expenses: GBP2.1 million

Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation, forecasts, estimates, expectations and objectives for future operations that are subject to assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and are generally, but not always, identified by the words "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "believes", "intends", "estimates", "projects", "potential" and similar expressions, or are events or conditions that "will", "would", "may", "could" or "should" occur or be achieved.

Information to Distributors

Solely for the purposes of Article 9(8) of Commission Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the "Delegated Directive") regarding the responsibilities of manufacturers under the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II"); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the "MiFID II Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Placing Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that such Placing Shares are: (i) compatible with the target market for the Placing of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all eligible distribution channels for dissemination of the Placing Shares, each as set out in this announcement, as are permitted by MiFID II (the "Target Market Assessment").

Accordingly, the Placing Shares may not (unless an exemption under the relevant securities laws is applicable) be offered, sold, resold or delivered, directly or indirectly, in or into Australia, Canada, Japan, the Republic of South Africa or any other jurisdiction in which such offer, sale, resale or delivery would be unlawful.

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II"), including its enactment under UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA ("UK MiFID II"); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II and UK MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the "MiFID II Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Placing Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that the Placing Shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of: (a) retail investors, (b) investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and (c) eligible counterparties (each as defined in MiFID II); and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II (the "Target Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the Placing Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the Placing Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the Placing Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Placing.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II or UK MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the Placing Shares.

Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Placing Shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.

Persons (including, without limitation, nominees and trustees) who have a contractual right or other legal obligation to forward a copy of this document should seek appropriate advice before taking any action.

The terms and conditions set out in this document apply to persons making an offer to acquire Placing Shares through Canaccord Genuity as agent of the Company. Each Placee hereby agrees with Canaccord Genuity and the Company to be bound by the terms and conditions set out in this document as being the terms and conditions upon which Placing Shares will be issued. A Placee shall, without limitation, become so bound if Canaccord Genuity confirms to such Placee its allocation of Placing Shares. Each Placee will be deemed to have read and understood this document in its entirety, to be participating, making an offer and acquiring Placing Shares on the terms and conditions contained herein and to be providing the representations, warranties, indemnities, acknowledgements and undertakings contained in this document. Members of the public are not eligible to take part in the Placing and no public offering of Placing Shares is being or will be made.

This document may contain, or may be deemed to contain, "forward-looking statements" with respect to certain of the Company's plans and its current goals and expectations relating to its future financial condition, performance, strategic initiatives, objectives and results. Forward-looking statements sometimes use words such as "aim", "anticipate", "target", "expect", "estimate", "intend", "plan", "goal", "believe", "seek", "may", "could", "outlook" or other words of similar meaning. By their nature, all forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and circumstances which are beyond the control of the Company, including amongst other things, United Kingdom domestic and global economic business conditions, market-related risks such as fluctuations in interest rates and exchange rates, the policies and actions of governmental and regulatory authorities, the effect of competition, inflation, deflation, the timing effect and other uncertainties of future acquisitions or combinations within relevant industries, the effect of tax and other legislation and other regulations in the jurisdictions in which the Company and its affiliates operate, the effect of volatility in the equity, capital and credit markets on the Company's profitability and ability to access capital and credit, a decline in the Company's credit ratings, the effect of operational risks, and the loss of key personnel. As a result, the actual future financial condition, performance and results of the Company may differ materially from the plans, goals and expectations set forth in any forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements made in this document by or on behalf of the Company speak only as of the date they are made. Except as required by applicable law or regulation, the Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to publish any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained in this document to reflect any changes in the Company's expectations with regard thereto or any changes in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

No representation or warranty, express or implied, is or will be made as to, or in relation to, and no responsibility or liability is or will be accepted by Canaccord Genuity or any of its respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers, consultants, partners or employees as to, or in relation to, the accuracy or completeness of this document or any other written or oral information made available to or publicly available to any interested party or its advisers, and any liability therefor is expressly disclaimed.

In this document, unless the context otherwise requires, "Placee" means a Relevant Person (including individuals, funds or others) who has been invited to participate in the Placing by Canaccord Genuity and on whose behalf a commitment to subscribe for Placing Shares has been given.

In particular, each such Placee represents, warrants, undertakes, agrees and acknowledges (amongst other things) that:

1. it is a Relevant Person and undertakes that it will acquire, hold, manage or dispose of any Placing Shares that are allocated to it for the purposes of its business;

2. in the case of a Relevant Person in the UK who acquires any Placing Shares pursuant to the Placing:

2.1 it is a Qualified Investor within the meaning of Article 2(e) of the UK Prospectus Regulation;

2.2 it is a person: (i) having professional experience in matters relating to investments who fall within the definition of "investment professionals" in Article 19(5) of the FPO; or who falls within the definition of "high net worth companies, unincorporated associations etc" in Article 49(2)(a) to (d) of the FPO;

3. in the case of a Relevant Person in a member state of the EEA which has implemented the Prospectus Regulation (each, a "Relevant Member State") who acquires any Placing Shares pursuant to the Placing:

3.1 it is a Qualified Investor within the meaning of Article 2(e) of the Prospectus Regulation;

3.2 in the case of any Placing Shares acquired by it as a financial intermediary, as that term is used in Article 5(1) of the Prospectus Regulation:

3.2.1 the Placing Shares acquired by it in the Placing have not been acquired on behalf of, nor have they been acquired with a view to their offer or resale to, persons in any Relevant Member State other than Qualified Investors or in circumstances in which the prior consent of Canaccord Genuity has been given to the offer or resale; or

3.2.2 where Placing Shares have been acquired by it on behalf of persons in any member state of the EEA other than Qualified Investors, the offer of those Placing Shares to it is not treated under the Prospectus Regulation as having been made to such persons;

4. it is acquiring the Placing Shares for its own account or is acquiring the Placing Shares for an account with respect to which it exercises sole investment discretion and has the authority to make and does make the representations, warranties, indemnities, acknowledgements, undertakings and agreements contained in this document;

5. it understands (or if acting for the account of another person, such person has confirmed that such person understands) the resale and transfer restrictions set out in this document;

6. it will be bound by these terms and conditions as being the terms and conditions upon which Placing Shares will be issued or acquired; and

7. except as otherwise permitted by the Company and subject to any available exemptions from applicable securities laws, it (and any account referred to in paragraph 4 above) is outside the United States acquiring the Placing Shares in offshore transactions as defined in and in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.

No prospectus

No prospectus or other offering document has been or will be submitted to be approved by the FCA in relation to the Placing or the Placing Shares and Placees' commitments will be made solely on the basis of the information contained in this document and any information publicly announced through a Regulatory Information Service by or on behalf of the Company on or prior to the date on which this document is received by the Placee (the "Publicly Available Information") and subject to any further terms set forth in the trade confirmation or contract note to be sent to individual Placees.

Each Placee, by participating in the Placing, agrees that the content of this document is exclusively the responsibility of the Company and confirms that it has neither received nor relied on any information (other than the Publicly Available Information), representation, warranty or statement made by or on behalf of Canaccord Genuity, the Company or any other person and none of Canaccord Genuity or the Company or any other person acting on such person's behalf nor any of their respective affiliates has or shall have any liability for any Placee's decision to participate in the Placing based on any other information, representation, warranty or statement. Each Placee acknowledges and agrees that it has relied on its own investigation of the business, financial or other position of the Company in accepting a participation in the Placing. Nothing in this paragraph shall exclude the liability of any person for fraudulent misrepresentation.

Details of the Placing Agreement and the Placing Shares

Canaccord Genuity (acting as bookrunner to the Company) will enter into the Placing Agreement with the Company under which, on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the Placing Agreement, Canaccord Genuity as agent for and on behalf of the Company will agree to use its reasonable endeavours to procure Placees for the Placing Shares at the Placing Price. The Placing is not being underwritten by Canaccord Genuity or any other person.

The Placing Shares will, when issued or transferred, be subject to the Articles and credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the Existing Ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid in respect of such Ordinary Shares after the date of issue of the Placing Shares.

Application for admission to trading

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for admission of the Placing Shares to trading on AIM.

It is expected that Admission will take place at 8:00 a.m. on or around 22 April 2021 and that dealings in the Placing Shares on AIM will commence, and settlement of the Placing Shares will occur, at the same time.

Principal terms of the Placing

Canaccord Genuity is acting as bookrunner to the Placing, as agent for and on behalf of the Company. Canaccord Genuity is a member of the London Stock Exchange and is authorised and regulated in the United Kingdom by the FCA and is acting exclusively for the Company and no one else (including the recipient of this document) in connection with the matters referred to in this document and will not be responsible to anyone other than the Company for providing the protections afforded to the customers of Canaccord Genuity or for providing advice in relation to the matters described in this document.

Participation in the Placing will only be available to persons who may lawfully be, and are, invited by Canaccord Genuity to participate. Canaccord Genuity and any of its respective affiliates are entitled to participate in the Placing as principal.

The final number of Placing Shares to be placed and the price at which each Placing Share is to be placed will be agreed by Canaccord Genuity and the Company (the "Placing Price"). The Placing Price is payable to Canaccord Genuity by all Placees (as agent of the Company).

Each Placee's allocation of Placing Shares will be determined by Canaccord Genuity in its discretion and will be confirmed orally or in writing (which can include email) by Canaccord Genuity. That oral or written confirmation will give rise to an irrevocable, legally binding commitment by that person (who at that point becomes a Placee), in favour of the Company and Canaccord Genuity, under which it agrees to acquire the number of Placing Shares allocated to the Placee at the Placing Price and otherwise on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in this document and in accordance with the Articles. Except with Canaccord Genuity's written consent, such commitment will not be capable of variation or revocation at the time at which it is submitted.

Each Placee's allocation and commitment will be evidenced by a trade confirmation or contract note issued to such Placee by Canaccord Genuity. The terms of this document will be deemed incorporated in that trade confirmation or contract note.

Each Placee will have an immediate, separate, irrevocable and binding obligation, owed to Canaccord Genuity (as agent for the Company), to pay to it (or as it may direct) in cleared funds an amount equal to the product of the Placing Price and the number of Placing Shares such Placee has agreed to acquire and the Company has agreed to allot and issue to that Placee.

Irrespective of the time at which a Placee's allocation(s) pursuant to the Placing is/are confirmed, settlement for all Placing Shares to be acquired pursuant to the Placing will be required to be made at the same time, on the basis explained below under "Registration and Settlement".

All obligations of Canaccord Genuity under the Placing will be subject to fulfilment of the conditions referred to below under "Conditions of the Placing" and to the Placing not being terminated on the basis referred to below under "Termination of the Placing".

By participating in the Placing, each Placee will agree that its rights and obligations in respect of the Placing will terminate only in the circumstances described below and will not be capable of rescission or termination by the Placee.

To the fullest extent permissible by law and applicable FCA rules, none of (a) Canaccord Genuity, (b) any of Canaccord Genuity's affiliates, agents, directors, officers, consultants, (c) to the extent not contained within (a) and (b), any person connected with Canaccord Genuity as defined in FSMA ((b) and (c) being together "affiliates" and individually an "affiliate" of Canaccord Genuity), (d) any person acting on behalf of Canaccord Genuity, shall have any liability (including to the extent permissible by law, any fiduciary duties) to Placees or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise. In particular, neither Canaccord Genuity nor any of its affiliates shall have any liability (including, to the extent permissible by law, any fiduciary duties) in respect of their conduct of the Placing or of such alternative method of effecting the Placing as Canaccord Genuity and the Company may agree.

Depositary Interests

The Company has entered into depositary arrangements to enable investors to settle and pay for interests in the Ordinary Shares through the CREST System. Pursuant to arrangements put in place by the Company, the Depositary will hold the Ordinary Shares on trust for the Shareholders and issue dematerialised Depositary Interests to individual Shareholders' CREST accounts representing the underlying Ordinary Shares. The Depositary Interests will be independent securities constituted under English law which may be held and transferred through the CREST system.

In relation to Ordinary Shares held by Shareholders in uncertificated form, although the Company's register shows the custodian as the legal holder of the Ordinary Shares, the beneficial interest in the Ordinary Shares remains with the holder of Depositary Interests, who has the benefit of all the rights attaching to the Ordinary Shares as if the holder of Depositary Interests were named on the certificated Ordinary Share register itself.

Each Depositary Interest will be represented as one Ordinary Share, for the purposes of determining, for example, eligibility for any dividends. The Depositary Interests will have the same ISIN number as the underlying Ordinary Shares. The Depositary Interests can then be traded and settlement will be within the CREST system in the same way as any other CREST securities.

Registration and settlement

If Placees are allocated any Placing Shares in the Placing they will be sent a trade confirmation or contract note by Canaccord Genuity, which will confirm the number of Placing Shares allocated to them, the Placing Price, the aggregate amount owed by them to Canaccord Genuity (as agent of the Company) and settlement instructions.

Each Placee will be deemed to agree that it will do all things necessary to ensure that delivery and payment is completed as directed by Canaccord Genuity in accordance with either the standing CREST or certificated settlement instructions which they have in place with Canaccord Genuity.

Settlement of transactions in the Placing Shares (ISIN: VGG4392T1075) will take place through Depositary Interests within the CREST system, subject to certain exceptions.

Settlement through CREST is expected to take place in respect of Depositary Interests representing the Placing Shares on or around 22 April 2021 unless otherwise notified by Canaccord Genuity and Admission of the Placing Shares is expected to occur at 8:00 a.m. on or around 22 April 2021, unless otherwise notified by Canaccord Genuity.

Settlement will be on a delivery versus payment basis. However, in the event of any difficulties or delays in the admission of the Placing Shares to CREST or the use of CREST in relation to the Placing, the Company and Canaccord Genuity may agree that the Placing Shares should be issued in certificated form. Canaccord Genuity reserves the right to require settlement for the Placing Shares, and to deliver the Placing Shares to Placees, by such other means as they deem necessary if delivery or settlement to Placees is not practicable within the CREST system or would not be consistent with regulatory requirements in a Placee's jurisdiction.

Interest is chargeable daily on payments not received from Placees on the due date in accordance with the arrangements set out above, in respect of either Depositary Interests representing Placing Shares in CREST or certificated deliveries of Placing Shares, at the rate of 2 percentage points above prevailing LIBOR as determined by Canaccord Genuity.

Each Placee agrees that, if it does not comply with these obligations Canaccord Genuity may sell, charge by way of security (to any funder of Canaccord Genuity) or otherwise deal with any or all of their Placing Shares on their behalf and retain from the proceeds, for Canaccord Genuity's own account and benefit, an amount equal to the aggregate amount owed by the Placee plus any interest due and any costs and expenses properly incurred by Canaccord Genuity as a result of the Placee's failure to comply with its obligations. The relevant Placee will, however, remain liable for any shortfall below the amount owed by it and for any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax (together with any interest or penalties) which may arise upon the sale of their Placing Shares on their behalf. Legal and/or beneficial title in and to any Placing Shares shall not pass to the relevant Placee until such time as it has fully complied with its obligations hereunder.

If Placing Shares are to be delivered to a custodian or settlement agent, Placees must ensure that, upon receipt, the conditional trade confirmation or contract note is copied and delivered immediately to the relevant person within that organisation.

Insofar as Placing Shares are registered in a Placee's name or that of its nominee or in the name of any person for whom a Placee is contracting as agent or that of a nominee for such person, such Placing Shares should, subject as provided below, be so registered free from any liability to United Kingdom stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. Placees will not be entitled to receive any fee or commission in connection with the Placing.

Conditions of the Placing

The Placing is conditional upon the Placing Agreement becoming unconditional and not having been terminated in accordance with its terms.

The obligations of Canaccord Genuity under the Placing Agreement are, and the Placing is, conditional upon, inter alia:

-- none of the warranties contained in the Placing Agreement being untrue or inaccurate as at, and no breach of any warranty having occurred prior to Admission and at all times after the date of the Placing agreement but before Admission;

-- the Company having complied with its obligations under the Placing Agreement which fall to be performed prior to Admission;

-- the Placing Agreement not having been terminated in accordance with its terms; and

-- Admission having become effective at or before 8.00 a.m. on 22 April 2021 (or such later date as the Company and Canaccord Genuity may agree, in any event being not later than the Long Stop Date),

(all conditions to the obligations of Canaccord Genuity included in the Placing Agreement being together, the "conditions").

If any of the conditions set out in the Placing Agreement are not fulfilled or, where permitted, waived in accordance with the Placing Agreement within the stated time periods or the Placing Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the Placing will lapse and the Placee's rights and obligations shall cease and terminate at such time and each Placee agrees that no claim can be made by or on behalf of the Placee (or any person on whose behalf the Placee is acting) in respect thereof.

By participating in the Placing, each Placee agrees that its rights and obligations cease and terminate only in the circumstances described above and under "Termination of the Placing" below and will not be capable of rescission or termination by it.

Certain conditions may be waived in whole or in part by Canaccord Genuity, in its absolute discretion. Any such extension or waiver will not affect Placees' commitments.

Canaccord Genuity may terminate the Placing Agreement in certain circumstances, details of which are set out below.

None of Canaccord Genuity or the Company or any of their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers or employees shall have any liability to any Placee (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise) in respect of any decision any of them may make as to whether or not to waive or to extend the time and/or date for the satisfaction of any condition to the Placing nor for any decision any of them may make as to the satisfaction of any condition or in respect of the Placing generally and by participating in the Placing each Placee agrees that any such decision is within the absolute discretion of Canaccord Genuity.

On the assumption that the conditions set out in the Placing Agreement are satisfied (or waived) and that the Placing Agreement does not lapse and is not terminated in accordance with its terms, each Placee will be required to pay to Canaccord Genuity, on the Company's behalf, the Placing Price for each Placing Share agreed to be acquired by it under the Placing in accordance with the terms set out herein.

Each Placee's obligation to acquire and pay for Placing Shares under the Placing will be owed to the Company and Canaccord Genuity. Each Placee has an immediate, separate, irrevocable and binding obligation, owed to Canaccord Genuity, to pay to it (or as it may direct) in cleared funds an amount equal to the product of the Placing Price and the number of Placing Shares that such Placee has agreed to subscribe and/or purchase.

Termination of the Placing

Canaccord Genuity may terminate the Placing Agreement, in accordance with its terms, at any time prior to Admission if, inter alia:

-- there is a breach of any of the warranties or any of the other obligations on the part of the Company under the Placing Agreement or an event or circumstance has taken place or arisen which renders any of the Warranties untrue, inaccurate or misleading, which in either case is material in the context of the Placing; or

-- the Company fails to comply with its obligations under the Placing Agreement or the terms of the Placing, which Canaccord Genuity considers (acting reasonably) to be material in the context of the Placing; or

-- any statement contained in the Placing Documents is discovered to be untrue, incorrect or misleading; or

-- any other occurrence of any kind which (by itself or together with any other such occurrence) is, in the opinion of Canaccord Genuity, likely to materially and adversely affect the market's perception of the Company or the financial position or trading position or prospects of the Company; or

-- any other crisis of international or national effect including, without limitation, in relation to the spread of Covid-19 in the UK, the British Virgin Islands or any other territory in which the Company has assets or operations and/or the material worsening of economic conditions in the UK, the British Virgin Islands or any other territory in which the Company has assets or operations as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, which, in any case, in the opinion of Canaccord (acting in good faith) is materially adverse to the Placing or Admission and is likely to render the Placing or Admission, temporarily or permanently, impracticable or inadvisable.

If the Placing Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the rights and obligations of each Placee in respect of the Placing as described in this document shall cease and terminate at such time and no claim can be made by any Placee in respect thereof.

By participating in the Placing, each Placee agrees with the Company and Canaccord Genuity that the exercise by the Company or Canaccord Genuity of any right of termination or any other right or other discretion under the Placing Agreement shall be within the absolute discretion of the Company or Canaccord Genuity and that neither the Company nor Canaccord Genuity need make any reference to such Placee and that none of Canaccord Genuity or the Company, or any of their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers or employees shall have any liability to such Placee (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise) whatsoever in connection with any such exercise.

By participating in the Placing, each Placee agrees that its rights and obligations terminate only in the circumstances described above and under the "Conditions of the Placing" section above and will not be capable of rescission or termination by it.

Pending the provision to Canaccord Genuity or the Company's registrars, as applicable, of evidence of identity, definitive certificates in respect of the Placing Shares may be retained at Canaccord Genuity's absolute discretion or, where appropriate, delivery to it of Depositary Interests representing the Placing Shares in uncertificated form may be delayed at Canaccord Genuity's or the Company's registrars', as the case may be, absolute discretion.

50. these terms and conditions in this document and all documents into which this document is incorporated by reference or otherwise validly forms a part and/or any agreements entered into pursuant to these terms and conditions and all agreements to acquire shares pursuant to the Placing will be governed by and construed in accordance with English law and it submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts in relation to any claim, dispute or matter arising out of any such contract, except that enforcement proceedings in respect of the obligation to make payment for the Placing Shares (together with any interest chargeable thereon) may be taken by the Company or Canaccord Genuity in any jurisdiction in which the relevant Placee is incorporated or in which any of its securities have a quotation on a recognised stock exchange.

By participating in the Placing, each Placee (and any person acting on such Placee's behalf) agrees to indemnify and hold the Company, Canaccord Genuity and each of their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers and employees harmless from any and all costs, claims, liabilities and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) arising out of or in connection with any breach of the representations, warranties, acknowledgements, agreements and undertakings given by the Placee (and any person acting on such Placee's behalf) in this document or incurred by Canaccord Genuity or the Company or each of their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers or employees arising from the performance of the Placee's obligations as set out in this document, and further agrees that the provisions of this document shall survive after the completion of the Placing.

The agreement to allot and issue Placing Shares to Placees (or the persons for whom Placees are contracting as agent) free of stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax in the United Kingdom relates only to the allotment and issue of Placing Shares to Placees, or such persons as they nominate as their agents, direct by the Company. Such agreement assumes that the Placing Shares are not being acquired in connection with arrangements to issue depositary receipts or to transfer the Placing Shares into a clearance service. If there are any such arrangements, or the settlement related to any other dealings in the Placing Shares, stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax may be payable. In that event, the Placee agrees that it shall be responsible for such stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax and neither the Company nor Canaccord Genuity shall be responsible for such stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. If this is the case, each Placee should seek its own advice and they should notify Canaccord Genuity accordingly. In addition, Placees should note that they will be liable for any capital duty, stamp duty and all other stamp, issue, securities, transfer, registration, documentary or other duties or taxes (including any interest, fines or penalties relating thereto) payable outside the United Kingdom by them or any other person on the acquisition by them of any Placing Shares or the agreement by them to acquire any Placing Shares and each Placee, or the Placee's nominee, in respect of whom (or in respect of the person for whom it is participating in the Placing as an agent or nominee) the allocation, allotment, issue, transfer or delivery of Placing Shares has given rise to such non-United Kingdom stamp, registration, documentary, transfer or similar taxes or duties undertakes to pay such taxes and duties, including any interest and penalties (if applicable), forthwith and to indemnify on an after-tax basis and to hold harmless the Company and Canaccord Genuity in the event that either the Company and/or Canaccord Genuity has incurred any such liability to such taxes or duties.

The representations, warranties, acknowledgements and undertakings contained in this document are given to Canaccord Genuity for itself and on behalf of the Company in Canaccord Genuity's capacity as agent for it and are irrevocable.

Each Placee and any person acting on behalf of the Placee acknowledges that Canaccord Genuity does not owe any fiduciary or other duties to any Placee in respect of any representations, warranties, undertakings, acknowledgements, agreements or indemnities in the Placing Agreement.

Each Placee and any person acting on behalf of the Placee acknowledges and agrees that Canaccord Genuity may (in its absolute discretion) satisfy its obligations to procure Placees by itself agreeing to become a Placee in respect of some or all of the Placing Shares or by nominating any connected or associated person to do so.

When a Placee or any person acting on behalf of the Placee is dealing with Canaccord Genuity, any money held in an account with Canaccord Genuity on behalf of the Placee and/or any person acting on behalf of the Placee will not be treated as client money within the meaning of the relevant rules and regulations of the FCA made under FSMA. Each Placee acknowledges that the money will not be subject to the protections conferred by the client money rules: as a consequence this money will not be segregated from Canaccord Genuity's money in accordance with the client money rules and will be held by it under a banking relationship and not as trustee.

All times and dates in this document may be subject to amendment.

The price of shares and any income expected from them may go down as well as up and investors may not get back the full amount invested upon disposal of the shares. Past performance is no guide to future performance, and persons needing advice should consult an independent financial adviser.

The Placing Shares to be issued or sold pursuant to the Placing will not be admitted to trading on any market, stock exchange or other facility other than AIM.

The rights and remedies of Canaccord Genuity and the Company under these terms and conditions are in addition to any rights and remedies which would otherwise be available to each of them and the exercise or partial exercise or partial exercise of one will not prevent the exercise of others.
