The Conygar Investment Company PLC

("Conygar" or the "Company")

Proposed Equity Raise of c.£10 million

Conygar announces its intention to conduct a placing of c.6.7 million new Ordinary Shares ("Placing Shares") at a price of 150 pence per share (the "Placing Price" and the "Placing"), raising gross proceeds of c.£10 million. 

Highlights

·      Proposed issue of c.6.7 million Placing Shares under the Placing at 150 pence per Placing Share, with the placing of any Placing Shares in excess of 5 million Placing Shares being conditional on certain resolutions being passed at the Company's Annual General Meeting to be held  at 4.00 p.m. on 20 December 2021 (the "2021 AGM").

·      The Placing Price of 150 pence per Placing Share represents:

o  a discount of 7.7 per cent. to the Company's closing share price of 162.5 pence per Ordinary Share on 16 December 2021 (being the last business day prior to this announcement); and

o  a discount of 31.0 per cent.  to the Company's net asset value per Ordinary Share of 217.4 pence per Ordinary Share as at 30 September 2021. 

·      The Company has a number of potential uses for the proceeds from the Issue, all of which will assist with progressing The Island Quarter site in Nottingham. These include funding the completion of the construction for the first phase of the scheme, bringing a new electricity substation to the site, funding the equity component of the student accommodation scheme and potentially progressing the design and planning for an office scheme. More details on these are set out below.

·      It is the intention of the Directors to subscribe for 704,000 Placing Shares at the Placing Price in the Placing.

·      The Placing will be conducted through an accelerated bookbuild, which will be launched immediately following release of this announcement (the "Bookbuild").  Liberum Capital Limited ("Liberum") is acting as sole bookrunner in connection with the Placing (the "Bookrunner").

·      The Placing Shares will represent approximately 12.8 per cent. of the Company's existing issued share capital, assuming 6.7 million Placing Shares are issued in total.

·      Admission of the Placing Shares to trading on AIM is expected to be on or around 22 December 2021.

Robert Ware, CEO of Conygar, commented on the Placing:

"The Placing we are announcing today is to fund part of the next phase of the exciting 36 acre Island Quarter site in Nottingham. There are a number of potential uses for the proceeds, including bringing a new electricity substation to the site, funding the equity component of the student accommodation scheme and potentially progressing the design and planning for an office scheme. Significant progress has already been made on The Island Quarter, with planning permission granted for over two million square feet to include new homes, grade A office space, a creative market, a lifestyle hotel, retail units, student accommodation and associated public realm."

Background

Since acquiring The Island Quarter in 2016, the Company has made significant headway in developing the concept and strategy and over the last year has submitted three detailed planning applications for the early phase developments. Two of these have subsequently been granted with the third, which includes two hotels, residential apartments and co-working space, expected to be considered by the planning committee in early 2022. The detailed applications granted to date have enabled the Company to commence the construction of the first phase, which includes a 21,500 square foot food and beverage-led building, planned for completion by late spring 2022, and to initiate the on-site preliminary groundworks for a c.700-bed student accommodation scheme.

Use of proceeds

The Island Quarter project is advancing quickly and there are a variety of uses for the proceeds from the Placing to assist with progressing the site. The first phase, which is currently under construction, is expected to be completed in late spring 2022. The cost to complete this development is c.£6 million.

The Company is also currently bringing a new electricity substation to the site as there is not enough capacity in the local network for anything beyond the first phase. The anticipated cost to complete this and ensure that the entire site is capable of supporting new buildings is expected to be c.£5 million.

The Company's detailed application for student accommodation has been granted and the Company is expecting to be able to commence that development in 2022. The Company has also received several offers of bank finance for the construction and will determine how much of the placing proceeds to deploy as equity in this scheme next year.

The Company is also in discussions with a number of businesses for office space totalling 250,000 square feet. Should these negotiations progress, it is expected that part of the net proceeds of the Placing will be used to fund the design and planning processes as required.

Any additional cash requirements in connection with the above projects, in excess of the proceeds from the Placing, will be covered by funds from the sale of other assets.

As at 16 December 2021 (the latest practicable date prior to this announcement), the Company had c.£7.0 million of cash and requires further funding for the Island Quarter.

General Nottingham update

Since 30 September 2021, there has been steady progress on The Island Quarter. The construction of the first phase has continued and is still on track to be completed in late spring 2022. Following the granting of the permission for the student accommodation, the Company has focused on finalising the Section 106 Agreement and liaising with contractors to ensure a start on site in 2022. The Company is also in discussions with a number of organisations about taking commercial space on the site, and will look to progress those as soon as possible.

Numerous discussions have occurred, several of which are ongoing and some of which have just commenced, involving potential investors, potential partners and potential occupiers for all or different parts of the development. At present, none of these discussions have reached an advanced stage.

Update on other existing projects

Cross Hands, Carmarthenshire

As announced in the Company's results for the year ended 30 September 2021, the retail park at Cross Hands is fully occupied comprising a strong and diverse tenant base including Lidl, B&M Retail, Costa Coffee, Iceland Foods, Domino's Pizza, Pets at Home, Burger King, Snap Fitness and One Below which produces an annual rent roll of £1.38 million.

As the park is now fully income producing, the Company is considering marketing the park for sale in early 2022.

Holyhead Waterfront, Anglesey

The Company is awaiting the determination of its further detailed design and reserved matters application submitted in October 2021.

Selly Oak, Birmingham

As previously disclosed, contracts have been exchanged for sale to a specialist provider of student accommodation. The local authority issued its agreement to the Section 106 Agreement on these two industrial units and accordingly their planning consent on 12 November 2021. The sale agreement is now unconditional and the Company currently anticipates that the student provider will complete their acquisition by the end of 2021, at a price materially above the Company's current book value for the asset.

Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire

The construction of the 300-metre spine road and associated infrastructure will be completed by the end of 2021. The Company's application to reduce the costs payable under the Section 106 Agreement was approved by the planning committee on 14 December 2021. All section 106 payments are to be removed for the first phase of 115 houses and subsequent phases will be considered in a similar fashion as they come forward. These amendments will be formally documented in due course.

Parc Cybi and Rhosgoch, Anglesey

Nothing new to report. 

Bristol option agreement

The Company has signed an exclusivity agreement to acquire the land at The Wholesale Fruit Centre in Bristol. This is a site of c.15 acres to the east of Temple Meads Station. The transaction is subject to full due diligence and the granting of a suitable planning permission. At present, the Company is only committed to £60,000 in legal costs but assuming the due diligence is successful a planning application will follow which is likely to cost in the region of £1.5m and is expected to take nine months to be submitted.

Further information on the Placing

The Company is proposing to raise gross proceeds of c.£10 million through a placing of c.6.7 million Placing Shares with new and existing investors at the Placing Price of 150 pence per share. 

The Placing Price of 150 pence per Placing Share represents:

·      a discount of 7.7 per cent. to the Company's closing share price of 162.5 pence per Ordinary Share on 16 December 2021 (being the last business day prior to this announcement); and

·      a 31.0 per cent. discount to the Company's net asset value per Ordinary Share of 217.4 pence per Ordinary Share as at 30 September 2021. 

Liberum Capital Limited, as placing agent for the Company ("Liberum"), will use its reasonable endeavours to place the Placing Shares with institutional and other investors at the Placing Price. The Directors reserve the right, in conjunction with Liberum and subject to seeking any necessary shareholder approvals, to increase the size of the Placing.

The Placing will be conducted by way of a bookbuilding process which will be launched immediately following this Announcement, in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in Appendix 1 below, and is expected to close by 5.00 p.m. on 17 December 2021. Liberum, in consultation with the Company, reserves the right to close the bookbuilding process earlier or later at its discretion.

Details of the number of Placing Shares and the approximate gross proceeds of the Placing will be announced as soon as practicable after the closing of the Placing. 

The Placing is not being underwritten.

The placing of up to 5 million Placing Shares pursuant to the Placing will use the existing shareholder authorities available to the Company which were granted by Shareholders at the 2020 AGM and any placing of Placing Shares pursuant to the Placing in excess of 5 million Placing Shares will use the shareholder authorities proposed to be made available to the Company at the 2021 AGM and will therefore be conditional upon the approval of the relevant resolutions by Shareholders at the 2021 AGM. The Placing is conditional upon Admission of the Placing Shares to trading on AIM, which is expected to occur on or around 8.00 a.m. on 22 December 2021.

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

DETAILS OF THE PLACING

Liberum has entered into the Placing Agreement with the Company under which Liberum has, on the terms and subject to the conditions set out therein, undertaken to use its reasonable endeavours to procure, as agent for the Company, subscribers for the Placing Shares at the Placing Price.

The Placing Agreement contains customary warranties given by the Company to Liberum as to matters relating to the Company and its business and a customary indemnity given by the Company to Liberum in respect of liabilities arising out of, or in connection with, the Placing.

Liberum (after consultation with the Company) reserves the right to scale back the number of Placing Shares to be subscribed by any Placee in the event of applications in excess of the target amount under the Placing and/or if applications have been received in excess of 5 million Placing Shares and the requisite resolutions are not passed at the 2021 AGM. In such case individual applications may, at Liberum's discretion, be reduced pro rata on the basis of a total Placing of 5 million Placing Shares. The Company and Liberum also reserves the right not to accept offers to subscribe for Placing Shares or to accept such offer in part rather than in whole. Liberum shall be entitled to effect the Placing by such method as Liberum shall in its sole discretion determine. To the fullest extent permissible by law, neither Liberum nor any holding company of Liberum nor any subsidiary branch or affiliate of Liberum (each an "affiliate") nor any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing shall have any liability to the Placees (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise). In particular, neither Liberum nor any affiliate thereof nor any person acting on its behalf shall have any liability to Placees in respect of its conduct of the Placing.

Each Placee's obligations will be owed to the Company and to Liberum. Following the confirmation referred to below in the paragraph entitled "Participation in, and principal terms of, the Placing", each Placee will also have an immediate, separate, irrevocable and binding obligation, owed to Liberum, to pay to Liberum (or as Liberum may direct) in cleared funds an amount equal to the product of the Placing Price and the number of Placing Shares which such Placees has agreed to acquire.

Each Placee agrees to indemnify on demand and hold each of the Company, Liberum and their respective affiliates harmless from any all costs, claims, liabilities and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) arising out of or in connection with any breach of the acknowledgments, undertakings, representations, warranties and agreements set forth in these terms and conditions and any contract note.

The Placing is also conditional upon the Placing Agreement becoming unconditional and the Placing Agreement not being terminated in accordance with its terms. Further details of conditions in relation to the Placing are set out below in the paragraph entitled "Conditions of the Placing".

A Placee agrees to become a member of the Company and agrees to subscribe for those Placing Shares allocated to it by Liberum at the Placing Price, conditional on: (i) Admission occurring and becoming effective by 8.00 a.m. on 22 December 2021 (or such later time and/or date, not being later than 5.00 p.m. on 14 January 2022, as the Company and Liberum may agree); (ii) the Placing Agreement becoming otherwise unconditional in all respects and not having been terminated in accordance with its terms on or before the date of Admission; and (iii) Liberum confirming to the Placees their allocation of Placing Shares.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Placee acknowledges and agrees that it will not be entitled to exercise any remedy of rescission at any time. This does not affect any other rights the Placee may have. Fractions of Placing Shares will not be issued.

APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION TO TRADING

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for Admission. It is expected that settlement of any such Placing Shares and Admission will become effective on or around 8.00 a.m. on 22 December 2021 and that dealings in the Placing Shares will commence at that time.

PAYMENT FOR SHARES

Each Placee has a separate, irrevocable and binding obligation to pay the Placing Price in cleared funds for the number of Placing Shares duly allocated to the Placee under the Placing in the manner and by the time directed by Liberum. If any Placee fails to pay as so directed and/or by the time directed, the relevant Placee's application for Placing Shares shall at Liberum's discretion either be rejected or accepted in which case the paragraph below entitled "Registration and Settlement" shall apply to such application.

PARTICIPATION IN, AND PRINCIPAL TERMS OF, THE PLACING

Liberum (whether through itself or any of its affiliates) is arranging the Placing as placing agent for the Company for the purpose of using reasonable endeavours to procure Placees at the Placing Price for the Placing Shares.

Participation in the Placing will only be available to persons who may lawfully be, and are, invited to participate by Liberum. Liberum and its affiliates may participate in the Placing as principal.

By participating in the Placing, Placees will be deemed to have read and understood this announcement, including this Appendix, in its entirety and to be participating and making an offer for Placing Shares on the terms and conditions, and to be providing the representations, warranties, acknowledgements, agreements and undertakings contained in this Appendix.

This Appendix 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.

The number of Placing Shares to be issued, and the extent of each Placee's participation in the Placing (which will not necessarily be the same for each Placee), will be agreed by Liberum, (following consultation with the Company) following completion of the bookbuilding process in respect of the Placing (the "Bookbuild"). No element of the Placing will be underwritten. The aggregate number of Placing Shares will be announced on a Regulatory Information Service following completion of the Bookbuild.

A Placee's commitment to acquire a fixed number of Placing Shares under the Placing will be agreed orally with Liberum as agent of the Company. Each Placee's allocation will be confirmed to Placees orally or by email by Liberum, and a form of confirmation or contract note will be dispatched as soon as possible thereafter. The oral or email confirmation to such Placee will constitute an irrevocable legally binding commitment upon such person (who will at that point become a Placee) in favour of Liberum and the Company, under which it agrees to acquire the number of Placing Shares allocated to it at the Placing Price on the terms and conditions set out in this Appendix and in accordance with the articles of incorporation of the Company.

Except as required by law or regulation, no press release or other announcement will be made by Liberum 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.

Irrespective of the time at which a Placee's allocation pursuant to the Placing is 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 the paragraph entitled "Registration and Settlement".

All obligations under the Placing will be subject to fulfilment or (where applicable) waiver of, amongst other things, the conditions referred to below and to the Placing not being terminated on the basis referred to below.

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, none of the Company, Liberum or any of their respective affiliates shall have any liability to Placees (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise under these terms and conditions). In particular, neither the Company, Liberum or any of their respective affiliates shall have any liability (including to the fullest extent permissible by law, any fiduciary duties) in respect of Liberum's conduct of the Placing. Each Placee acknowledges and agrees that the Company is responsible for the issue of the Placing Shares to the Placees and Liberum shall have no liability to the Placees for the failure of the Company to fulfil those obligations.

CONDITIONS OF THE PLACING

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

Liberum's obligations under the Placing Agreement in respect of the Placing Shares are conditional on, inter alia:

1.         the Company allotting, subject only to Admission, the Placing Shares in accordance with the Placing Agreement;

2.         Admission taking place not later than 8.00 a.m. on 22 December 2021 (or such later date as may be agreed in writing between the Company and Liberum); and

3.         in respect of any Placing Shares placed under the Placing in excess of 5 million Placing Shares, the passing of certain required shareholder resolutions to be proposed at the 2021 AGM, or any adjournment thereof.

If (a) any of the conditions contained in the Placing Agreement in relation to the Placing Shares are not fulfilled or waived by Liberum by the respective time or date where specified (or such later time or date as the Company and Liberum may agree not being later than 5.00 p.m. on 14 January 2022 (the "Final Date")); or (b) the Placing Agreement is terminated as described below, the Placing in relation to the Placing Shares will lapse and the Placee's 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 the Placee in respect thereof.

Subject to certain exceptions, Liberum may, at its absolute discretion and upon such terms as it thinks fit, waive, or extend the period (up to the Final Date) for, compliance by the Company with the whole or any part of any of the Company's obligations in relation to the conditions in the Placing Agreement. Any such extension or waiver will not affect Placees' commitments as set out in this announcement.

Neither Liberum nor the Company 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 Liberum.

RIGHT TO TERMINATE UNDER THE PLACING AGREEMENT

Liberum is entitled, at any time before Admission, to terminate the Placing Agreement by giving notice to the Company in certain circumstances, including, inter alia:

1.         the Company has failed to comply with any of its obligations under the Placing Agreement which is material in the context of the Placing and/or Admission; or

2.         any of the warranties given by the Company to Liberum under the Placing Agreement not being true or accurate or being misleading when given or deemed given or repeated or deemed repeated (by reference to the facts and circumstances in each case then existing).

The rights and obligations of the Placees shall terminate only in the circumstances described in these terms and conditions and in the Placing Agreement and will not be subject to termination by the Placee or any prospective Placee at any time or in any circumstances. By participating in the Placing, Placees agree that the exercise by Liberum of any right of termination or other discretion under the Placing Agreement shall be within the absolute discretion of Liberum, and that it need not make any reference to Placees and that it shall have no liability to Placees whatsoever in connection with any such exercise or decision not to exercise. Placees will have no rights against Liberum, the Company or any of their respective directors or employees under the Placing Agreement pursuant to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 (as amended).

NO PROSPECTUS

The Placing Shares are being offered to Relevant Persons only and will not be offered in such a way as to require a prospectus in the United Kingdom or elsewhere. No offering document or prospectus has been or will be submitted to be approved by the FCA in relation to the Placing and Placees' commitments will be made solely on the basis of the information contained in this announcement (including this Appendix) and certain business and financial information the Company is required to publish in accordance with the AIM Rules and the rules and practices of the FCA (collectively "Exchange Information").

Each Placee, by accepting a participation in the Placing, agrees that the content of this announcement, including this Appendix, is exclusively the responsibility of the Company and confirms that it has not relied on any other information (other than the Exchange Information), representation, warranty, or statement made by or on behalf of the Company or Liberum or any other person and neither Liberum nor the Company nor any other person will be liable for any Placee's decision to participate in the Placing based on any other information, representation, warranty or statement which the Placees may have obtained or received. 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.

REGISTRATION AND SETTLEMENT

Settlement of transactions in the Placing Shares (ISIN: GB0033698720) following Admission will take place within the system administered by Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited ("CREST"), subject to certain exceptions. Liberum reserves the right to require settlement for, and delivery of, the Placing Shares (or a portion thereof) to Placees by such other means that Liberum deems necessary if delivery or settlement is not possible or practicable within CREST within the timetable set out in this announcement or would not be consistent with the regulatory requirements in any Placee's jurisdiction.

Each Placee allocated Placing Shares in the Placing will be sent a trade confirmation or contract note stating the number of Placing Shares allocated to it at the Placing Price, the aggregate amount owed by such Placee to Liberum (as agent for the Company) and settlement instructions. Each Placee agrees that it will do all things necessary to ensure that delivery and payment is completed in accordance with either the CREST or certificated settlement instructions that it has in place with Liberum.

It is expected that settlement in respect of the Placing Shares will be on or around 22 December 2021 on a T+2 delivery versus payment basis in accordance with the instructions set out in the trade confirmation. The relevant settlement details for the Placing Shares are as follows:

Interest is chargeable daily on payments not received from Placees on the due date in accordance with the arrangements set out above at the rate of two percentage points above the base rate of Barclays Bank PLC but 2% per year for any period during which that base rate is below zero.

Each Placee is deemed to agree that, if it does not comply with these obligations, Liberum may sell any or all of the Placing Shares allocated to that Placee on such Placee's behalf and retain from the proceeds, for Liberum's account and benefit (as agent for the Company), an amount equal to the aggregate amount owed by the Placee plus any interest due. Any excess proceeds will pass to the relevant Placee at its risk. The relevant Placee will, however, remain liable and shall indemnify Liberum on demand for any shortfall below the aggregate amount owed by it and may be required to bear any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax or securities transfer tax (together with any interest or penalties) which may arise upon the sale of such Placing Shares on such Placee's behalf. By communicating a bid for Placing Shares, each Placee confers on Liberum all such authorities and powers necessary to carry out any such sale and agrees to ratify and confirm all actions which Liberum lawfully takes in pursuance of such sale.

If Placing Shares are to be delivered to a custodian or settlement agent, Placees should ensure that the 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 UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax or securities transfer tax. Placees will not be entitled to receive any fee or commission in connection with the Placing.

REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND FURTHER TERMS

By participating in the Placing, each Placee (and any person acting on such Placee's behalf) makes the following representations, warranties, acknowledgements, agreements and undertakings (as the case may be) to the Company and Liberum, namely that, each Placee (and any person acting on such Placee's behalf):

34.        to the fullest extent permitted by law, it acknowledges and agrees to the disclaimers contained in the announcement, including this Appendix.

The representations, warranties, acknowledgments and undertakings contained in this Appendix are given to Liberum and the Company and are irrevocable and shall not be capable of termination in any circumstances.

The agreement to settle a Placee's subscription (and/or the subscription of a person for whom such Placee is contracting as agent) free of stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax depends on the settlement relating only to a subscription by it and/or such person direct from the Company for the Placing Shares in question. Such agreement assumes that the Placing Shares are not being subscribed for 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 relates to any other subsequent dealing in the Placing Shares, stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax may be payable, for which neither the Company nor Liberum will be responsible, and the Placee to whom (or on behalf of whom, or in respect of the person for whom it is participating in the Placing as an agent or nominee) the allocation, issue or delivery of Placing Shares has given rise to such UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax undertakes to pay such UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax forthwith and to indemnify on an after-tax basis and to hold harmless the Company and Liberum in the event that either the Company and/or Liberum has incurred any such liability to UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. If this is the case, each Placee should seek its own advice and notify Liberum accordingly.

In addition, Placees should note that they will be liable for any 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 UK by them or any other person on the subscription by them of any Placing Shares or the agreement by them to subscribe for any Placing Shares.

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

Each Placee and any person acting on behalf of the Placee acknowledges and agrees that Liberum or any of its affiliates may, at their absolute discretion, agree to become a Placee in respect of some or all of the Placing Shares.

When a Placee or person acting on behalf of the Placee is dealing with Liberum, any money held in an account with Liberum 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 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 Liberum's money in accordance with the client money rules and will be used by Liberum in the course of its own business and the Placee will rank only as a general creditor of Liberum.

All times and dates in this announcement (including this Appendix) may be subject to amendment, and Placees' commitments, representations and warranties are not conditional on any of the expected times and dates in this announcement (including this Appendix) being achieved. Liberum shall notify the Placees and any person acting on behalf of the Placees of any changes.

Past performance is no guide to future performance and persons needing advice should consult an appropriately qualified independent financial adviser.

Liberum is entitled, at its discretion and out of its own resources, at any time to rebate to some or all of its investors, or to other parties (including any of its affiliates), part or all of its fees relating to the Placing.

MISCELLANEOUS

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"); and (b) the UK's implementation of Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II Directive, and in particular Chapter 3 of the PROD Sourcebook (together, the "Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the 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 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 distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II (the "Target Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, Placees 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. Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, Liberum will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties. 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 (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.
