This document should be read as a whole. Your attention is drawn to the letter from the Chairman of the Company set out in Part I of this Circular explaining the background to, and reasons for, the Fundraising and the Acquisition and the recommendation by the Directors to the Shareholders to vote in favour of the Resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting, referred to below.

The Existing Ordinary Shares are admitted to trading on AIM. AIM is a market designed primarily for emerging or smaller companies to which a higher investment risk tends to be attached than to larger or more established companies. AIM securities are not admitted to the Official List of the FCA. A prospective investor should be aware of the risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after careful consideration and, if appropriate, consultation with an independent financial adviser. Subject to certain conditions being satisfied, application will be made for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM, a market operated by the London Stock Exchange. It is expected that First Admission will become effective and that dealings will commence in the Placing Shares, the Subscription Shares and the Retail Offer Shares on 16 January 2023 and that Second Admission will become effective and that dealings will commence in the Consideration Shares on 18 January 2023. The New Ordinary Shares will be issued free of expenses and will, on issue, rank pari passu in all respects with the Existing Ordinary Shares in issue, including the right to receive all dividends and distributions declared, made or paid after the date of issue.

6.7.8. Tokenhouse Yard, London EC2R 7AS, at 11.00 a.m. on 13 January 2023, is set out at the end of this document.

The New Ordinary Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or with any securities regulatory authority of any state or other jurisdiction of the US and may not be offered or sold within the US or to, or for the account or benefit of, any US Person as that term is defined in Regulation S under the US Securities Act. The Company has not been registered and will not be registered under the United States Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The relevant clearances have not been, and will not be, obtained from the securities commission of any province or territory of Canada and no registration statement has been, or will be, filed with the Japanese Ministry of Finance in relation to the Placing. Accordingly, subject to certain exceptions, the New Ordinary Shares may not, directly or indirectly, be offered or sold in or into the US, Canada, Australia, the Republic of South Africa or Japan or to any resident of Canada, Australia, the Republic of South Africa or Japan. Any prospective purchaser of New Ordinary Shares is recommended to seek their own independent professional advice.

The New Ordinary Shares have not been approved or disapproved by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, any state securities commission in the United States or any other regulatory authority in the United States, nor have any of the foregoing authorities passed on or endorsed the merits of the offering of New Ordinary Shares nor have they approved this document or the accuracy or adequacy of the information contained in this document.

Forward looking statements

This document contains statements about the Company that may be deemed to be "forward-looking statements". All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this document may be forward-looking statements. Without limitation, any statements preceded or followed by, or that include, the words "targets", "plans", "believes", "expects", "aims", "intends", "will", "may", "should", "anticipates", "estimates", "projects", or words or terms of similar substance or the negative thereof, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements relating to future capital expenditures, expenses, revenues, earnings, economic performance, indebtedness, financial condition, dividend policy, losses and future prospects, etc. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual result, performance or achievements of any person, or industry, to be materially different from any results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions regarding the present and future business strategies of such persons and the environment in which each will operate in the future. Investors should not place undue reliance on such forward- looking statements and, save as is required by law or regulation (including to meet the requirements of the AIM Rules, the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers, the Prospectus Regulation Rules and/or FSMA), the Company does not undertake any obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements (including to reflect any change in expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based). All subsequent oral or written forward-looking statements attributed to the Company or any persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statement above. All forward-looking statements contained in this document are based on information available to the Directors at the date of this document, unless some other time is specified in relation to them, and the posting or receipt of this document shall not give rise to any implication that there has been no change in the facts set forth herein since such date.

Information to Distributors

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II"); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures, each as they form part of the law of England

2

and Wales by virtue of EUWA (together, the "Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the New Ordinary Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that the New Ordinary Shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II (the "Target Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the New Ordinary Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the New Ordinary Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the New Ordinary Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Fundraising. Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, Cenkos will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties. For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or Company of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the New Ordinary Shares.

Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the New Ordinary Shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.
