Details of the Placing Agreement and the Placing Shares

Cavendish will shortly enter into a placing agreement (the "Placing Agreement") with the Company under which, on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the Placing Agreement, Cavendish, as agent for and on behalf of the Company, will agree to use its reasonable endeavours to procure Placees for the Placing Shares.

The Placing Shares will, when issued, be subject to the memorandum and articles of association of the Company be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing issued ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each ("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 Admission.

Lock-up

As part of the Placing, the Company has agreed that it will not for a period of two months after (but including) Admission, directly or indirectly, issue, offer, sell, lend, pledge, contract to sell or issue, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise dispose of any Ordinary Shares (or any interest therein or in respect thereof) or other securities of the Company exchangeable for, convertible into or representing the right to receive Ordinary Shares or any substantially similar securities or otherwise enter into any transaction (including derivative transaction) directly or indirectly, permanently or temporarily, to dispose of any Ordinary Shares or undertake any other transaction with the same economic effect as any of the foregoing or announce an offering of Ordinary Shares or any interest therein or to announce publicly any intention to enter into any transaction described above.  This agreement is subject to certain customary exceptions and does not prevent (i) the grant or exercise of options or awards under any of the Company's existing share incentives and share option schemes, or (ii) following Admission the issue by the Company of any Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of any right or option or the conversion of a security already in existence, or (iii)  the issue by the Company of any Ordinary Shares in relation to the Fundraising.

Applications for admission to trading

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

Subject to, amongst other things, the Placing Resolutions being passed by the requisite majorities at the General Meeting, it is expected that settlement of the Placing Shares and Admission will become effective on or around 8.00 a.m. on 3 December 2024 and that dealings in the Placing Shares on AIM will commence at that time or such later time and/or dates as the Company and Cavendish may agree (being in any event no later than 8.00 a.m. on 31 December2024).

The Bookbuilding Process

This Appendix IV gives details of the terms and conditions of, and the mechanics of participation in, the Placing.  No commissions will be paid to Placees or by Placees in respect of any Placing Shares.

Cavendish and the Company shall be entitled to effect the Placing by such alternative method to the Bookbuilding Process as they may, in their sole discretion, determine.

Principal terms of the Bookbuilding Process and Placing

1.         Cavendish is arranging the Placing as broker and placing agent of the Company.

2.         Participation in the Placing will only be available to persons who may lawfully be, and are, invited by Cavendish to participate.  Cavendish and any of its affiliates are entitled to enter bids in the Bookbuilding Process.

3.         The price per Placing Share (the "Issue Price") is fixed at 35 pence.

4.         Each Placee's allocation will be determined by Cavendish in its discretion following consultation with the Company and will be confirmed to Placees either orally or by email by Cavendish.  Cavendish may choose to accept bids, either in whole or in part, on the basis of allocations determined at its absolute discretion, in consultation with the Company, and may scale down any bids for this purpose on the basis referred to in paragraph 6 below. 

5.         Each Placee's allocation and commitment will be evidenced by a contract note, electronic trade confirmation or other (oral or written) confirmation issued to such Placee by Cavendish.  The terms of this Appendix will be deemed incorporated in that contract note, electronic trade confirmation or other (oral or written) confirmation.

6.         Subject to paragraphs 4 and 5 above, Cavendish may choose to accept bids, either in whole or in part, on the basis of allocations determined at its discretion and may scale down any bids for this purpose on such basis as it may determine or be directed.  Cavendish may also, notwithstanding paragraphs 4 and 5 above, subject to the prior consent of the Company:

(a)        allocate Placing Shares after the time of any initial allocation to any person submitting a bid after that time; and

(b)        allocate Placing Shares after the Bookbuilding Process has closed to any person submitting a bid after that time.

7.         Each Placee's allocation and commitment to acquire Placing Shares will be made on the terms and subject to the conditions in this Appendix and will be legally binding on the Placee on behalf of which it is made and except with Cavendish's consent will not be capable of variation or revocation after the time at which it is submitted.  Following Cavendish's oral or written confirmation of each Placee's allocation and commitment to acquire Placing Shares, each Placee will have an immediate, separate, irrevocable and binding obligation, owed to Cavendish (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 Issue 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.

8.         Except as required by law or regulation, no press release or other announcement will be made by Cavendish or the Company using the name of any Placee (or its agent), in its capacity as Placee (or agent), other than with such Placee's prior written consent.

9.         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".

10.        All obligations under the Bookbuilding Process and 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".

11.        By participating in the Bookbuilding Process, 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.

12.        To the fullest extent permissible by law and applicable FCA rules and regulations, none of:

(a)        Cavendish;

(b)        any of its Representatives; or

(c)        to the extent not contained within (a) or (b), any person connected with Cavendish as defined in the FSMA ((b) and (c) being together "affiliates" and individually an "affiliate" of Cavendish);

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 Cavendish nor any of its affiliates shall have any liability (including, to the extent permissible by law, any fiduciary duties) in respect of Cavendish's conduct of the Bookbuilding Process or of such alternative method of effecting the Placing as Cavendish and the Company may agree.

Registration and Settlement

If Placees are allocated any Placing Shares in the Placing they will be sent a contract note or electronic trade confirmation or other (oral or written) confirmation which will confirm the number of Placing Shares allocated to them, the Issue Price and the aggregate amount owed by them to Cavendish.

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 Cavendish in accordance with either the standing CREST or certificated settlement instructions which they have in place with Cavendish.

Settlement of transactions in the Placing Shares (ISIN: GB00B0M8KM36) following Admission will take place within the CREST system, subject to certain exceptions.  Settlement through CREST is expected to occur (subject to the Placing Resolutions having been duly passed at the General Meeting), on 3 December 2024 (each a "Settlement Date"), in accordance with the contract notes or electronic trade confirmation or other (oral or written) confirmation.  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 Cavendish may agree that the Placing Shares should be issued in certificated form.  Cavendish 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 the jurisdiction in which a Placee is located.

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 CREST or certificated deliveries, at the rate of 2 percentage points above the prevailing base rate of Barclays Bank plc as determined by Cavendish.

Each Placee is deemed to agree that, if it does not comply with these obligations, Cavendish may sell any or all of the Placing Shares allocated to that Placee on their behalf and retain from the proceeds, for Cavendish's own account and benefit, an amount equal to the aggregate amount owed by the Placee plus any interest due.  The relevant Placee will, however, remain liable for any shortfall below the Issue Price and for any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax (together with any interest or penalties) imposed in any jurisdiction which may arise upon the sale of such Placing Shares on its behalf.  By communicating a bid for Placing Shares, such Placee confers on Cavendish all such authorities and powers necessary to carry out such sale and agrees to ratify and confirm all actions which Cavendish lawfully takes in pursuance of such sale.

If Placing Shares are to be delivered to a custodian or settlement agent, Placees must ensure that, upon receipt, the conditional contract note or the electronic trade confirmation or other (oral or written) confirmation 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.  If there are any circumstances in which any United Kingdom stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax or other similar taxes or duties (including any interest and penalties relating thereto) is payable in respect of the allocation, allotment, issue, sale, transfer or delivery of the Placing Shares (or, for the avoidance of doubt, if any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax is payable in connection with any subsequent transfer or agreement to transfer Placing Shares), the Company shall not be responsible for payment thereof.  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 in all respects and not having been terminated in accordance with its terms prior to Admission. Cavendish's obligations under the Placing Agreement are conditional on customary conditions including (amongst others) (the "Conditions") set out below:

1.         the Company having complied, in the opinion of Cavendish (acting in good faith), with all of its obligations under the Placing Agreement (to the extent that such obligations fall to be performed before Admission and there having occurred no material default or breach by the Company of its terms at any time immediately prior to Admission);

2.         in the opinion of Cavendish (acting in good faith), each of the warranties contained in the Placing Agreement being true and accurate and not misleading on and as of the date of the Placing Agreement and the date of Admission as though they had been given and made on such dates by reference to the facts and circumstances at the relevant time;

3.         the General Meeting having taken place on the date set out in the Notice of General Meeting, no adjournment of the General Meeting having occurred without the prior written consent of Cavendish and each of the Placing Resolutions having been passed thereat by the requisite majority without amendment;

4.         completion of the Subscription (save for the condition relating to Admission); and

5.         Admission occurring no later than 8.00 a.m. on 3 December2024 (or such later time and/or date, not being later than 5.00 p.m. on 31 December 2024, as Cavendish may otherwise agree with the Company provided that each of the parties shall perform its obligations under the Placing Agreement until such time (if any) as any of the conditions under the Placing Agreement shall have been incapable of being satisfied and have not been waived).

Cavendish may, at its discretion and upon such terms as it thinks fit, waive compliance by the Company with the whole or any part of certain of the Company's obligations in relation to the conditions in the Placing Agreement or extend the time or date provided for fulfilment of certain such conditions in respect of all or any part of the performance thereof.

The conditions in the Placing Agreement relating to (amongst other things) Admission taking place may not be waived. Any such extension or waiver will not affect Placees' commitments as set out in this Appendix.

If: (i) any of the conditions are not fulfilled or (where permitted) waived by Cavendish by the relevant time or date specified (or such later time or date as the Company and Cavendish may agree); or (ii) the Placing Agreement is terminated in the circumstances specified below under 'Right to terminate under the Placing Agreement', the Placing will not proceed and the Placees' rights and obligations hereunder in relation to the Placing Shares shall cease and terminate at such time and each Placee agrees that no claim can be made by it or on its behalf (or any person on whose behalf the Placee is acting) in respect thereof.

None of Cavendish, 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 they 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 they 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 Cavendish.

Termination of the Placing

Cavendish is entitled, at any time on or before Admission, to terminate its obligations under the Placing Agreement in accordance with its terms in certain circumstances, including, inter alia:

1.         the Company fails to comply with its obligations under the Placing Agreement or under the terms of the Placing which, in any such case, Cavendish (acting in good faith) considers to be material; or

2.         any of the warranties or undertakings contained in the Placing Agreement is untrue or inaccurate by reference to the facts or circumstances subsisting at the time or a matter has arisen that might reasonably be expected to give rise to a claim under the indemnity contained in the Placing Agreement, in each case in any respect which Cavendish (acting in good faith) considered to be material; or

3.         it comes to the notice of Cavendish that any statement contained in, amongst other things, the Announcement or the Circular was or has become untrue, incorrect or misleading in any respect which Cavendish (acting in good faith) considers to be material or that any matter which Cavendish (acting in good faith) considers to be material has arisen which would if the Placing were made at that time, constitute a material omission therefrom; or

4.         the occurrence of certain force majeure events, the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of Cavendish (acting in good faith), impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the Placing in the manner contemplated in the Placing Agreement or which may materially and adversely affect the success of the Placing or dealings in the Placing Shares.

Upon termination, Cavendish shall be released and discharged (except for any liability arising before or in relation to such termination) from its obligations under or pursuant to the Placing Agreement, subject to certain exceptions. If Cavendish exercises its right to terminate the Placing Agreement before Admission, then the Placing Agreement shall cease and terminate and the Placing will not proceed.

By participating in the Placing, each Placee agrees that (i) the exercise by Cavendish of any right of termination or of any other discretion under the Placing Agreement shall be within the absolute discretion of Cavendish and that it need not make any reference to, or consult with, Placees and that it shall have no liability to Placees whatsoever in connection with any such exercise or failure to so exercise and (ii) its rights and obligations terminate only in the circumstances described above under the heading 'Right to terminate under the Placing Agreement' and the heading 'Conditions of the Placing', and its participation will not be capable of rescission or termination by it after oral confirmation by Cavendish of the allocation and commitments following the close of the Bookbuild.

(together with the Money Laundering Regulations, the "Regulations") and if making payment on behalf of a third party, that satisfactory evidence has been obtained and recorded by it to verify the identity of the third party as required by the Regulations and has obtained all governmental and other consents (if any) which may be required for the purpose of, or as a consequence of, such purchase, and it will provide promptly to Cavendish such evidence, if any, as to the identity or location or legal status of any person which they may request from it in connection with the Placing (for the purpose of complying with the Regulations or ascertaining the nationality of any person or the jurisdiction(s) to which any person is subject or otherwise) in the form and manner requested by Cavendish on the basis that any failure by it to do so may result in the number of Placing Shares that are to be acquired by it or at its direction pursuant to the Placing being reduced to such number, or to nil, as Cavendish may decide at its sole discretion;

34.        in order to ensure compliance with the Regulations, Cavendish (for itself and as agent on behalf of the Company) or the Company's registrars may, in their absolute discretion, require verification of its identity.  Pending the provision to Cavendish or the Company's registrars, as applicable, of evidence of identity, definitive certificates in respect of the Placing Shares may be retained at Cavendish's absolute discretion or, where appropriate, delivery of the Placing Shares to it in uncertificated form may be delayed at Cavendish's or the Company's registrars', as the case may be, absolute discretion.  If within a reasonable time after a request for verification of identity Cavendish (for itself and as agent on behalf of the Company) or the Company's registrars have not received evidence satisfactory to them, either Cavendish and/or the Company may, at its absolute discretion, terminate its commitment in respect of the Placing, in which event the monies payable on acceptance of allotment will, if already paid, be returned without interest to the account of the drawee's bank from which they were originally debited;

35.        its participation in the Placing would not give rise to an offer being required to be made by it, or any person with whom it is acting in concert, pursuant to Rule 9 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers;

36.        any money held in an account with Cavendish 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 the FSMA. The 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 Cavendish 's money in accordance with the client money rules and will be used by Cavendish in the course of its business; and the Placee will rank only as a general creditor of Cavendish's;

39.        it acknowledges that its commitment to acquire Placing Shares on the terms set out in the Announcement and in the contract note, through the electronic trade confirmation or other (oral or written) confirmation will continue notwithstanding any amendment that may in future be made to the terms and conditions of the Placing and that Placees will have no right to be consulted or require that their consent be obtained with respect to the Company's or Cavendish's conduct of the Placing;

40.        it has knowledge and experience in financial, business and international investment matters as is required to evaluate the merits and risks of acquiring the Placing Shares.  It further acknowledges that it is experienced in investing in securities of this nature and is aware that it may be required to bear, and is able to bear, the economic risk of, and is able to sustain, a complete loss in connection with the Placing.  It has relied upon its own examination and due diligence of the Company and its affiliates taken as a whole, and the terms of the Placing, including the merits and risks involved;

41.        it irrevocably appoints any duly authorised officer of Cavendish as its agent for the purpose of executing and delivering to the Company and/or its registrars any documents on its behalf necessary to enable it to be registered as the holder of any of the Placing Shares for which it agrees to acquire upon the terms of the Announcement;

42.        the Company, Cavendish and others (including each of their respective Representatives) will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing representations, warranties, acknowledgements and agreements, which are given to Cavendish on its own behalf and on behalf of the Company and are irrevocable;

43.        it is acting as principal only in respect of the Placing or, if it is acquiring the Placing Shares as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, it:

(a)        is duly authorised to do so and it has full power and authority to make, and does make, the foregoing representations, warranties, acknowledgements, agreements and undertakings on behalf of each such accounts; and

(b)        will remain liable to the Company and Cavendish for the performance of all its obligations as a Placee in respect of the Placing (regardless of the fact that it is acting for another person);

44.        time is of the essence as regards its obligations under this Appendix;

45.        any document that is to be sent to it in connection with the Placing will be sent at its risk and may be sent to it at any address provided by it to Cavendish;

46.        the Placing Shares will be issued subject to the terms and conditions of this Appendix; and

By participating in the Placing, each Placee (and any person acting on such Placee's behalf) agrees to indemnify and hold the Company, Cavendish and each of their respective Representatives 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 Appendix or incurred by Cavendish, the Company or each of their respective Representatives arising from the performance of the Placee's obligations as set out in the Announcement, and further agrees that the provisions of this Appendix shall survive after the completion of the Placing.

The rights and remedies of Cavendish 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.

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 their allotment and issue 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 Cavendish 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 Cavendish 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 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 Cavendish in the event that either the Company and/or Cavendish have incurred any such liability to such taxes or duties.

The representations, warranties, acknowledgements and undertakings contained in this Appendix are given to Cavendish for itself and on behalf of the Company and are irrevocable.

Cavendish is authorised and regulated by the FCA in the United Kingdom and is acting exclusively for the Company and no one else in connection with the Bookbuilding Process and the Placing or any other matter referred to in the Announcement, and Cavendish will not be responsible to anyone (including any Placees) other than the Company for providing the protections afforded to its clients or for providing advice in relation to the Bookbuilding Process or the Fundraising or any other matters referred to in the Announcement.

Each Placee and any person acting on behalf of the Placee acknowledges that Cavendish 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 Cavendish may (at 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 Cavendish, any money held in an account with Cavendish 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 the 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 the Cavendish's money in accordance with the client money rules and will be held by it under a banking relationship and not as trustee.
