To Shareholders

Dear Shareholder,

Firm Placing of 4,730,672 new Ordinary Shares

Proposed Conditional Placing of 4,793,138 new Ordinary Shares

each at a price of 105 pence per new Ordinary Share

and

Notice of General Meeting

1. Introduction

It was announced on 21 January 2021 that the Company had conditionally raised £10.0 million (before expenses) through the placing of 9,523,810 new Ordinary Shares at 105 pence per new Ordinary Share.

The Placing Shares represent approximately 19.98 per cent. of the Existing Ordinary Shares and approximately 16.66 per cent. of the Enlarged Share Capital. The Placing Price represents a 13.9 per cent. discount to the closing mid-market price of 122.0 pence per Ordinary Share on 20 January 2021, being the latest Dealing Day prior to the announcement of the Placing.

The Placing is being conducted in three tranches, the EIS/VCT Placing, the General Placing and the Conditional Placing.

The EIS/VCT Placing and the General Placing (together the Firm Placing) are being made pursuant to existing authorities to allot shares for cash and disapply pre-emption rights under section 551 and section 570, respectively, of the Act, which were granted to the Directors at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 12 March 2020. The Firm Placing is only conditional upon First Admission in respect of the EIS/VCT Placing Shares and Second Admission in respect of the General Placing Shares. Accordingly, it is expected that the EIS/VCT Placing Shares will be admitted to AIM and to commence trading at 8.00 a.m. on 27 January 2021 and the General Placing Shares are expected to be admitted to AIM and to commence trading at 8.00 a.m. on 28 January 2021.

The Company will require further share authorities to allot the Conditional Placing Shares. Accordingly, the Conditional Placing is conditional, inter alia, upon Shareholders approving the Resolutions at the General Meeting and Third Admission. Subject to the passing of the Resolutions, Third Admission is expected to occur at 8.00 a.m. on 9 February 2021 or such later time and/or date as N+1 Singer and the Company may agree, not being later than 8.00 a.m. on 15 February 2021.

The purpose of this document is, amongst other things, to provide you with information about the background to and the reasons for the Placing, to explain why the Board considers the Placing to be in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole and why the Directors unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of the Resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting as they intend to do or procure so in respect of their beneficial holdings and those of their connected persons amounting, in aggregate, to 2,142,124 Existing Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 4.50 per cent. of the existing issued ordinary share capital of the Company, notice of which is set out at the end of this document.

2. Background to and reasons for the Placing

In the first six months of the financial year 2020, the Company completed its pivot from a managed services-led offering to that of professional services. The COVID-19 pandemic initially slowed down the implementation of the professional services offering as it diverted attention of all of the Company's Channel Partners towards implementing business continuity processes, not just for their customers but for their own organisations.

However, as the Channel Partners and their customers have adapted to new ways of conducting their businesses in light of the pandemic, with a shift to remote and home working, the relevance of and opportunity for the Company's offering has increased significantly.

The Company has been working closely with new and existing Channel Partners to support their customers in this new environment and has seen early indications of increasing levels of engagement and shorter sales cycles as a result.

During the period, the Company secured amendments to the framework agreements with two of its existing Channel Partners enabling them to sell the Company's new Human Experience Management ("HXM") offering. A third Channel Partner made no amendments to its agreement as it is already in a position to sell the HXM offering. The introduction of HXM is expected to result in a reduction in sales cycles, as well as facilitating a recurring seat-based revenue model. Since August 2020, the Company's Channel Partners have rapidly established a list of target customers amounting to over 4 million addressable employees or seats and this number continues to grow.

In November 2020, the Company announced it received a Purchase Order from one of its Channel Partners in connection with a major deployment of its HXM offering. This opportunity represented a significant milestone for the Company and will represent the first large-scale deployment of a Business Impact Assessment ("BIA") project. The Company's software will analyse the digital experience of 10,000 home and office-based employees for one month. This confirms the emerging opportunity for the BIA offering to meet the urgent need of its Channel Partners and their enterprise customers as they address the continued challenges of COVID-19-related changes and newly established ways of working across the world.

Most recently, the Company also secured an initial order from Oracle Corporation and signed a three-year framework agreement with an American multinational computer technology company, both for the HXM offering.

The Company believes that it now has a solid operational platform and sales funnel with its Channel Partners to enable it to effect customer deployments more quickly, efficiently and on a larger scale.

3. Use of proceeds

The Directors intend that the net proceeds of the Placing of £9.5 million will be used to:

  • expand the Company's sales and support teams in response to the expanding pipeline of sales prospects, and to enable the Company to have sufficient resources to smoothly on-board the Company's new partners;
  • expand the Company's technology development team to facilitate the development of enhanced cloud efficiency and scalability, as well as increased automation of report generation for professional services engagements;

13

  • strengthen the Company's balance sheet in order to enable to build credibility with larger blue-chip customers; and
  • fund the Company's general working capital requirements.

4. The Placing

The Company proposes to raise approximately £4.47 million (net of expenses) through the issue of the Firm Placing Shares and approximately £5.03 million (net of expenses) through the issue of the Conditional Placing Shares, each at the Placing Price. The Placing Price represents a discount of 13.9 per cent. to the closing middle market price of 122.0 pence per Existing Ordinary Share on 20 January 2021, being the latest Dealing Day prior to the announcement of the Placing. The Placing Shares will represent approximately 16.66 per cent. of the Company's Enlarged Share Capital.

The Placing Agreement

Pursuant to the terms of the Placing Agreement, N+1 Singer, as agent for the Company, has conditionally agreed to use its reasonable endeavours to procure subscribers for the Placing Shares. N+1 Singer has conditionally placed the Placing Shares with certain existing and new institutional and other investors at the Placing Price. The Placing has not been underwritten by N+1 Singer.

5. The General Meeting

Set out at the end of this document is a notice convening the General Meeting to be held virtually, in accordance with the Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020 (as amended), at 11.00 a.m. on 8 February 2021, at which the Resolutions will be proposed for the purposes of implementing the Conditional Placing.

Resolution 1, which will be proposed as an ordinary resolution, is to authorise the Directors to allot the Conditional Placing Shares provided that such authority shall expire on the date falling 18 months after the date of the resolution or on the date of the next annual general meeting of the Company, whichever is the earlier.

Resolution 2, which will be proposed as a special resolution and which is conditional upon the passing of Resolution 1, disapplies Shareholders' statutory pre-emption rights in relation to the issue of the Conditional Placing and in connection with an offer of equity securities to Shareholders but subject to such exclusions or other arrangements, such as fractional entitlements and overseas shareholders as the Director's consider necessary. Resolution 2 grants further authority to allot equity securities for cash on a non-pre-emptive basis up to an aggregate nominal amount of £9,474.00 provided that such authority shall expire on the date falling 18 months after the date of the resolution or on the date of the next annual general meeting of the Company, whichever is the earlier.

Notwithstanding the above, it is important to the Company that Shareholders are able to cast their votes and in order for your vote to be effective at the General Meeting, a proxy vote must be submitted at www.signalshares.com so as to have been received by the Company's registrars. not less than 48 hours (excluding weekends and public holidays) before the time appointed for the meeting or any adjournment of it.

Any power of attorney or other authority under which the proxy is submitted must be returned to the Company's Registrars, Link Group, PXS1, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent, BR3 4ZF. If a paper form of proxy is requested from the registrar, it should be completed and returned to Link Group, PXS1, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent, BR3 4ZF to be received not less than 48 hours before the time of the meeting (excluding any part of a day that is not a working day).

7. Related party transactions

M&G Investment Management Limited ("M&G") and Lombard Odier Asset Management Limited ("Lombard Odier") are substantial shareholders of the Company (the "Substantial Shareholders") and therefore classified as related parties under the AIM Rules.

M&G has participated in the Placing in respect of 857,143 Placing Shares and Lombard Odier has participated in the Placing in respect of 1,000,000 Placing Shares (in each case, such participation being split between Firm Placing Shares and Conditional Placing Shares). The participation of each of M&G and Lombard Odier in the Placing is considered related party transactions under the AIM Rules.

The Directors, having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, N+1 Singer, consider that the terms of the Substantial Shareholders' respective participation in the Placing are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's Shareholders are concerned.

8. Recommendation

The Directors consider the Placing to be in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole and accordingly recommend unanimously Shareholders to vote in favour of the Resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting as they intend to do so or procure in respect of their beneficial holdings and those of their connected persons amounting, in aggregate, to 2,142,124 Existing Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 4.50 per cent. of the existing issued ordinary share capital of the Company.

Yours faithfully

Stephen Davidson

Non-Executive Chairman

  1. CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies for the meeting (or any adjournment of it) through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a voting service provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf.
    In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a "CREST Proxy Instruction") must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited's specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual. The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or is an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy, must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by Link Group (ID RA10) no later than 11.00 a.m. on 4 February 2021 (or, if the meeting is adjourned, no later than 48 hours before the time of any adjourned meeting). For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Applications Host) from which Link Group is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time, any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means.
    CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed a voting service provider(s), to procure that his or her CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. In this connection, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.
    The Company may treat a CREST Proxy Instruction as invalid in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.
  2. A shareholder which is a corporation may authorise one or more persons to act as its representative(s) at the meeting. Each such representative may exercise (on behalf of the corporation) the same powers as the corporation could exercise if it were an individual shareholder, provided that (where there is more than one representative and the vote is otherwise than on a show of hands) they do not do so in relation to the same shares.
  3. As at the date of this Notice of General Meeting, the Company's issues share capital comprised 47,659,007 ordinary shares of 0.2 pence each. Each ordinary share carries one vote.
