Further to the announcement made by the Company earlier today, the Company has successfully raised gross proceeds of c.£52.9 million through the issue of in aggregate 47,614,000 Ordinary Shares at a price of 111 pence per Ordinary Share pursuant to the Initial Issue.

 

Applications have been made to the FCA and the London Stock Exchange for 47,614,000 Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the Initial Issue to be admitted to the premium segment of the Official List and to trading on the premium segment of the London Stock Exchange's main market. Admission is expected to occur on 27 June 2022.

 

Following completion of the Initial Issue, the Company's issued share capital will comprise 184,622,487  Ordinary Shares. This figure may be used by Shareholders 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 share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

The Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the Initial Issue will, following Initial Admission, rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares and will carry the right to receive all dividends and distributions declared, made or paid on or in respect of the Ordinary Shares by reference to a record date after Initial Admission.

 

Unless otherwise defined, the terms used in this announcement shall have the same meaning as set out in the prospectus of the Company dated 7 June 2022.
