Admission to Trading on AIM
On 12th October 2020 admission and dealings commenced in the Ordinary Shares on AIM by way of a placing of 50,000,000 Ordinary Shares of 0.1 pence each at 90 pence per share.
Reasons for the admission
The Directors believe that Admission will be beneficial to the Company for the following reasons:
- Raising the profile of the Company;
- Positioning the Company such that it can attract, recruit and retain key employees who may be further incentivised through the Share Option Schemes;

- Providing the Company with more flexibility to fund growth; and
