Post period end

Convertible Loan Update

As announced on 30 September 2022, the Company entered into an agreement for a convertible loan facility for up to GBP250,000 ("Convertible Loan") with Sanderson Capital Partners Limited ("Sanderson Capital"), which consists of an initial drawdown of GBP125,000 followed by a further drawdown expected three months thereafter.

As at 30 June 2023, an advance of GBP30,000 had been received against the GBP125,000 and no shares or warrants issued. As at 28 September 2023, a total advance of GBP61,000 had been received against the GBP125,000 and no shares or warrants have been issued.

At each GBP125,000 drawdown, the Company will issue new ordinary shares to Sanderson Capital equal to 10 percent of the drawdown value at an issue price of the 10-day volume weighted average price prior to the date of drawdown. A further announcement will be made on the date of each drawdown event.

Sanderson Capital will be able to convert part or all of the Convertible Loan facility in minimum increments of GBP5,000, with the conversion price being fixed at the lower of i) 0.25p; or ii) 90% of the 5-day volume weighted average price from the first day of dealings of the Company's restoration to trading on AIM. The Convertible Loan facility is interest-free.

As part of the Convertible Loan facility agreement, Sanderson Capital will be issued new ordinary shares and a warrant over new ordinary shares in the Company, of which the issue price and exercise price is 0.25 pence per share, being the closing mid-price of the Company's ordinary shares on 30 September 2022, the first day of dealings following the release of the Company's final results for the year ended 30 September 2021, and the interim results for the period ended 31 March 2022 which enabled the lifting of the suspension and restoration to trading of the Company's ordinary shares on AIM.

The new ordinary shares and warrants over new ordinary shares will be issued after the next general meeting of the Company and a further announcement setting out the details will be made at the time of issue.
