Result of Retail Offer
The Company is pleased to announce that, in connection with the retail offer launched by the Company on 15 July 2026 via Bookbuild (the "Retail Offer") the Company has received total commitments equal to £299,482.88, representing 391,942 new ordinary shares of £0.10 each in the capital of the Company which, following the Company's capital reduction, are expected to have a nominal value of £0.01 each (the "New Ordinary Shares") at an issue price of 76.41 pence per New Ordinary Share (the "Issue Price").
In addition to the Retail Offer and as announced by the Company on 10 July 2026, the Company has also conducted a placing and offer for subscription of New Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price (the "Issue"), raising approximately £7.16 million.
The Retail Offer, together with the Issue, comprise the "Fundraising". A separate announcement was made by the Company on 4 June 2026 regarding the Issue and its terms (the "Issue Announcement"). For the avoidance of doubt, the Retail Offer is not part of the Issue. Further details of the Issue can be found in the Issue Announcement.
The Retail Offer is conditional on the New Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Retail Offer being admitted to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange ("Admission"). Admission of the New Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Retail Offer is expected to take place at 8.00 a.m. on 28 July 2026. Completion of the Retail Offer is also conditional upon the completion of the Issue.
The net proceeds of the Fundraising will be invested in accordance with the Company's proposed new investment objective and policy, as set out in the Issue Announcement.
