The Directors note the substantially higher proportion of proxy votes received against Resolution 5 as compared with each of the other Resolutions. The Board believes that these votes against were based on guidance released by various voting bodies. Notwithstanding this, the Company will engage with shareholders to discuss the reasons for the votes against this resolution.

The passing of the Resolutions will, inter alia, enable the Company to proceed with the Placing, Open Offer and Offer for Subscription. The Issue remains conditional upon, amongst other things, Admission of the New Ordinary Shares having occurred not later than 8.00 a.m. on 2 April 2019 (or such later time and date as Peel Hunt may in its discretion determine).

Applications have been made to the London Stock Exchange for New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. The New Ordinary Shares will be issued pursuant to the authorities granted by Resolutions 1 and 2.

It is expected that Admission will take place, and that dealings in the New Ordinary Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 2 April 2019.
