Admission and Total Voting Rights

Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the Salary Shares and the Supplier Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission") and it is expected that such Admission will occur at 8.00 a.m. on 31 March 2026. The Subscription Shares will be issued credited as fully paid and will rank in full for all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after the admission of the Subscription Shares, respectively and will otherwise be identical to and rank on Admission pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary shares.

Following Admission of the Salary Shares and the Supplier Shares , the Company will have 244,490,504 Ordinary Shares in issue, of which none are held in treasury. Accordingly, the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 244,490,504 and shareholders may use this figure 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.
