The Company confirms that the Tender Price is 615 pence, being the lower of: (i) 615 pence; and (ii) 657.30 pence, being 105 per cent. of the average closing mid-market price per Share as derived from the London Stock Exchange Daily Official List over the five Business Days immediately preceding 14 September 2021 (being the date on which the Shares are to be purchased). The maximum aggregate number of Shares that could have been purchased pursuant to the Tender Offer was 1,263,141 Shares (representing 14.0 per cent. of the Company's issued ordinary share capital).

A total of 1,084,905 Shares (representing 12.0 per cent. of the Company's issued ordinary share capital) were validly tendered by Eligible Shareholders under the Tender Offer. A total of 1,084,905 Shares will therefore be purchased under the Tender Offer (representing 12.0 per cent. of the Company's issued ordinary share capital). The total value of all Shares purchased is £6.7 million.

Under the terms of the Repurchase Agreement, Peel Hunt has a put option exercisable on 14 September 2021 to require the Company to purchase from Peel Hunt the Shares purchased pursuant to the Tender Offer at the Tender Price. The Shares purchased by the Company pursuant to the exercise of the put option will be cancelled (the “Cancellation”).

On completion of the Tender Offer and the Cancellation, the Company's issued ordinary share capital will be 7,937,535 Shares and the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 7,937,535. This figure 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 Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority.
