The Company has also agreed to settle GBP20,000 owed to a corporate creditor through the issue of a further 619,195 new Ordinary Shares at an issue price of 3.23p per new Ordinary Share ("Creditor Settlement Shares").

Application will be made for admission of the Settlement Shares and the Creditor Settlement Shares (together the "New Shares"), in aggregate amounting to 5,981,424 New Shares representing 0.70% of the current issued share capital, to trading on AIM ("Admission") and Admission is expected to occur on or about 10 November 2022. The New Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing issued ordinary shares.

Total Voting Rights

On Admission, the Company's issued share capital consists of 856,375,115 ordinary shares of 0.02p each with voting rights ("Ordinary Shares"). The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in Treasury. Therefore, the total number of Ordinary Shares in the Company with voting rights is 856,375,115. The above figure of 856,375,115 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 Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
