The Company today announces it is proposing to raise up to approximately £10
million, before expenses, by way of a Placing to raise £8.0 million (the
"Placing") and an Open Offer to raise up to approximately £2.0 million (the
"Open Offer", together with the Placing, the "Share Issue") at a price of 75
pence per share (the "Issue Price").

The Placing is being conducted through an accelerated bookbuild process (the
"Bookbuild"), which will be launched immediately following this Announcement.

Liberum Capital Limited ("Liberum") is acting as sole bookrunner in relation
to the Placing.

Trading Update

Satago

Satago has been working closely with Lloyds Bank ("Lloyds") on a partnership
to deliver Satago's technology solution to Lloyds and Lloyds' SME customers. A
commercial pilot of Satago's technology was launched on 11 December 2020. On 9
March 2022, TruFin announced the conclusion of the commercial pilot and a
competitive tender process, and that Lloyds had confirmed its intention to
enter into a commercial agreement to license Satago's software platform for
its Single Invoice Finance and whole of book Invoice Factoring
customers. Satago and Lloyds are working towards finalising this commercial
agreement in the coming months. TruFin also announced on 9 March 2022 that
Lloyds Banking Group had completed an investment of £5 million of new
equity capital into Satago, at a pre-money valuation of £20 million.

 

The Board of TruFin views this as a landmark transaction, with Satago securing
one of the largest banks in the UK as a strategic, commercial and financial
partner. This partnership validates Satago's technology, personnel and
strategy toward addressing the invoice finance market with its LaaS (lending
as a service) solution.

 

Having secured Lloyds as a partner, Satago is in conversations with several
blue-chip organisations across the UK and Europe to offer all or part of its
technology solution suite.

 

The significant progress with Lloyds accelerates and grows Satago's
opportunity set and Satago is expected to remain loss making in the short
term. Satago will continue to convert its pipeline, fund technology
development and recruit key employees and the Board is excited by its growth
trajectory and its potential for significant value creation.

 

Oxygen

 

Oxygen recorded its first year of positive EBITDA for the year ended 31
December 2021 and also recorded its first cash flow positive month in December
2021. During the year, Oxygen signed 28 new clients (taking the total to 120
as at 31 December 2022) and processed its millionth rebate. Client retention
stood at 98 per cent. - two clients were lost, both in the data insights
division, but it is a testament to the strength of Oxygen's product that one
of those clients later re-subscribed for Oxygen's data insights product in
early 2022.

 

Oxygen expects to deliver revenue growth in excess of 20 per cent. per annum
over the coming years, which, given the operational gearing in the business,
is expected to translate to increasing profits. Approximately 90 per cent. of
revenue over the next four years is expected to be contributed by existing
clients. Oxygen is fully funded for this organic growth, requiring no further
financial support from TruFin.

 

Vertus

Vertus had a strong 2021, recording its first year of profit, writing £8.4
million of facilities and making a £2 million advance, its largest to date.
Its existing book remains resilient - it is yet to experience a default - and
its pipeline is strong. Vertus' loan book stood at £18.0 million as at 28
February 2022, with £2.8 million of facilities written in 2022 year-to-date,
and it currently has a pipeline of £24.4 million. Vertus has a medium-term
loan book target of £50 million and it will be investing in
technology-enabled lending solutions during 2022 to satisfy the growing
pipeline.

 

Playstack

 

Within games publishing, Playstack continues to expand the impact of the
Mortal Shell IP, whilst also having secured publishing rights for three new
games to be released within the next 12 months, each with the expectation of
high user appeal and strong marketability. Playstack is also working to expand
its internal games development capability through recruitment or acquisition
such that it can increase its core games portfolio and increase reach in all
key markets.

 

The beta launch of the brand technology platform 'Interact' occurred in late
November 2021 and is now in the test phase with several external developers
who have access to over 500,000 users. Interact has been developed to allow
tailored bespoke campaigns, programmatic advertising and full sponsorship
solutions across a suite of games on mobile - with a flexible tool for precise
audience reach and targeting. Interact is forecast by management to be revenue
generating within 2022, but is expected to remain loss making in the medium
term.

 

Unaudited Financial Information & Cash Position

 

The Group expects to publish its audited results for the year ended 31
December 2021 (FY21) in April 2022. The Group reports unaudited financial
results for FY21 as follows:

 

·      Revenue - £13.1 million (2020: £14.8 million), driven by
reduced revenue at Satago as they focussed on the Lloyds partnership and lower
revenue at Playstack following a particularly strong performance in 2020
resulting from the release of Mortal Shell

·      Loss before tax - £8.2 million (2020: £8.9 million), as a
result of cost reductions at head office and at Playstack

·      Cash - £7.6 million (includes cash of £4.7 million in Satago
and £0.7 million in Vertus which cannot be accessed at a Group level) (2020:
£17.7 million)

·      Net assets - £32.3 million, of which £16.3 million represents
goodwill (2020: £39.7 million)

The Group recorded revenue of more than £1.6 million for the calendar year to
28 February 2022, which represents revenue growth of 9 per cent. over the
equivalent period in 2021 and growth of 35 per cent. in February 2022 compared
to February 2021.

 

During 2021, TruFin loaned Satago £3 million to provide working capital as
Satago continued its commercial pilot with Lloyds. This loan was originally
due to be repaid to TruFin, but as announced on 9 March 2022, as part of the
investment by Lloyds Banking Group, TruFin agreed to vary the terms of the
loan. The loan is now convertible into equity capital in Satago at the same
valuation as the investment made by Lloyds Banking Group at TruFin's election
for six months from the date of the variation or, if a further funding round
takes place after such six month period, automatically at the valuation
implied by the funding round. As a result, these funds are no longer available
to TruFin.

 

The Group's unrestricted cash position as at 28 February 2022 was £2.8
million. Following the announcement of Lloyds' intention to enter into a
commercial agreement with Satago, the Group will accelerate its investment in
this substantial opportunity.  Without the funds to be raised under the Share
Issue, the Directors forecast that the Group has sufficient working capital to
maintain its current business plan until August 2022.

Reasons for the Share Issue and Use of Proceeds

With two of the Group's subsidiaries reaching breakeven, and Satago securing a
partner in Lloyds, 2021 and 2022 to date have been transformational for the
Group. The Board continues to see significant value across each of the
portfolio companies and, in order to fund Satago and Playstack to
profitability, and to provide working capital, the Company is proposing to
raise gross proceeds of up to approximately £10.0 million through a placing
of £8.0 million and an open offer of up to approximately a further £2.0
million.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds as follows:

•              c.£2 million intended to be invested in Satago,
which together with the £5 million invested by Lloyds Banking Group and the
£3 million already invested by TruFin, will be used to fund technology
development and recruit key employees, which is expected to fund Satago to
profitability

•              c.£4 million for growth opportunities in
Playstack and to fund it to profitability

•              c.£1.5-3.5 million for Group working capital
(replacing TruFin's loan, provided to Satago converting into Satago equity)

Following completion of the Placing and the Open Offer, the Group is expected
to have sufficient working capital and cash headroom to execute on its
ambitious growth strategy through to a position of being cash generative.

Notice 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
(together, the "MiFID II Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming
all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which
any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the MiFID II 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
such securities 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
Placing. Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the Target Market
Assessment, Liberum are only procuring 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 of appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID
II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group 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.

FURTHER DETAILS OF THE PROPOSED PLACING AND OPEN OFFER

1.     Introduction

million (before expenses) through the issue of 10,666,666 Placing Shares in

additional Open Offer Shares through the Excess Application Facility.

The Placing and the Open Offer, and the issue of the New Ordinary Shares are
conditional upon, inter alia, the approval by the Shareholders of the
Resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting of the Company. The
Resolutions must be passed by Shareholders at the General Meeting in order for
the Share Issue to proceed.

2.     Background to TruFin

TruFin is the holding company of an operating group comprising four
growth-focused technology businesses operating in niche markets: early payment
provision, invoice finance, IFA (Independent Financial Advisor) finance and
mobile games publishing. The Group's portfolio companies have performed
impressively during 2021 and 2022 to date.

TruFin's portfolio at IPO was focussed on speciality lending businesses and
its revenue was derived predominately from interest income. Alongside Satago
Financial Solutions Limited ("Satago"), which at the time was focussed on the
provision of finance rather than technology, TruFin's portfolio also consisted
of two lending companies applying for bank licences, which were divested from
the Group. Today, TruFin's portfolio companies are predominately technology
focussed and, in the year ended 31 December 2021, the Group derived 87 per
cent. of its revenue from recurring software fees and licencing fees.

Satago

Satago is focussed on the provision of technology solutions for the invoice
finance market. TruFin owns 64.0 per cent. of Satago (on a fully diluted
basis). 1  (#_ftn1)

Satago has been working closely with Lloyds on a partnership to deliver
Satago's technology solution to Lloyds and Lloyds' SME customers. A commercial
pilot of Satago's technology was launched on 11 December 2020. On 9 March
2022, TruFin announced the conclusion of the commercial pilot and a
competitive tender process, and that Lloyds had confirmed its intention to
enter into a commercial agreement to license Satago's software platform for
its Single Invoice Finance and whole of book Invoice Factoring customers.
Satago and Lloyds are working towards finalising this commercial agreement in
the coming months. TruFin also announced on 9 March 2022 that Lloyds Banking
Group had completed an investment of £5 million of new equity capital into
Satago, at a pre-money valuation of £20 million.

The Board of TruFin views this as a landmark transaction, with Satago securing
one of the largest banks in the UK as a strategic, commercial and financial
partner. This partnership validates Satago's technology, personnel and
strategy toward addressing the invoice finance market with its LaaS (lending
as a service) solution.

Having secured Lloyds as a partner, Satago is in conversations with several
blue-chip organisations across the UK and Europe to offer all or part of its
technology solution suite.

This significant progress with Lloyds accelerates and grows Satago's
opportunity set and Satago is expected to remain loss making in the short
term. Satago will continue to convert its pipeline and fund technology
development and recruit key employees and the Board is excited by its growth
trajectory and its potential for significant value creation.

Oxygen

Oxygen Finance ("Oxygen") is a provider of early payment solutions and data
insight services to the public and private sector. TruFin owns 87.5 per cent.
of Oxygen (on a fully diluted basis).

Oxygen recorded its first year of positive EBITDA for the year ended 31
December 2021 and also recorded its first cash flow positive month in December
2021. During the year, Oxygen signed 28 new clients (taking the total to 120
as at 31 December 2021) and processed its millionth rebate. Client retention
stood at 98 per cent. - two clients were lost, both in the data insights
division, but it is a testament to the strength of Oxygen's product that one
of those clients later re-subscribed for Oxygen's data insights product in
early 2022.

Oxygen expects to deliver revenue growth in excess of 20 per cent. per annum
over the coming years, which, given the operational gearing in the business,
is expected to translate to increasing profits. Approximately 90 per cent. of
revenue over the next four years is expected to be contributed by existing
clients. Oxygen is fully funded for this organic growth, requiring no further
financial support from TruFin.

Vertus

Vertus Capital ("Vertus") is a provider of finance to independent financial
advisors. TruFin owns 53.8 per cent. of Vertus (on a fully diluted basis).

Vertus had a strong 2021, recording its first year of profit, writing £8.4
million of facilities and making a £2 million advance, its largest to date.
Its existing book remains resilient - it is yet to experience a default - and
its pipeline is strong. Vertus' loan book stood at £18.0 million as at 28
February 2022, with £2.8 million of facilities written in 2022 year-to-date,
and it currently has a pipeline of £24.4 million. Vertus has a medium-term
loan book target of £50 million and it will be investing in
technology-enabled lending solutions during 2022 to satisfy the growing
pipeline.

Playstack

Playstack Limited ("Playstack") has two linked business offerings - a games
publishing service and Interact, a platform to allow advertisers to integrate
promotions within game. TruFin owns 99.9% per cent. of Playstack (on a fully
diluted basis).

Within games publishing, Playstack continues to expand the impact of the
Mortal Shell IP, whilst also having secured publishing rights for three new
games to be released within the next 12 months, each with the expectation of
high user appeal and strong marketability. Playstack is also working to expand
its internal games development capability through recruitment or acquisition
such that it can increase its core games portfolio and increase reach in all
key markets.

The beta launch of the brand technology platform 'Interact' occurred in late
November 2021 and is now in the test phase with several external developers
who have access to over 500,000 users. Interact has been developed to allow
tailored bespoke campaigns, programmatic advertising and full sponsorship
solutions across a suite of games on mobile - with a flexible tool for precise
audience reach and targeting. Interact is forecast by management to be revenue
generating within 2022, but is expected to remain loss making in the medium
term.

3.     Current trading

The Group expects to publish its audited results for the year ended 31
December 2021 (FY21) in April 2022. The Group reports unaudited financial
results for FY21 as follows:

•              Revenue - £13.1 million (2020: £14.8 million),
driven by reduced revenue at Satago as it focussed on the Lloyds partnership
and lower revenue at Playstack following a particularly strong performance in
2020 resulting from the release of Mortal Shell

•              Loss before tax - £8.2 million (2020: £8.9
million), as a result of cost reductions at head office and at Playstack

•              Cash - £7.6 million (includes cash of £4.7
million in Satago and £0.7 million in Vertus which cannot be accessed at a
Group level) (2020: £17.7 million)

•              Net assets - £32.3 million, of which £16.3
million represents goodwill (2020: £39.7 million)

The Group recorded revenue of more than £1.6 million for the calendar year to
28 February 2022, which represents revenue growth of 9 per cent. over the
equivalent period in 2021 and growth of 35 per cent. in February 2022 compared
to February 2021.

During 2021, TruFin loaned Satago £3 million to provide working capital as
Satago continued its commercial pilot with Lloyds. This loan was originally
due to be repaid to TruFin, but as announced on 9 March 2022, as part of the
investment by Lloyds Banking Group, TruFin has agreed to vary the terms of the
loan. The loan is now convertible into equity capital in Satago at the same
valuation as the investment made by Lloyds Banking Group at TruFin's election
for six months from the date of the variation or, if a further funding round
takes place after such six month period, automatically at the valuation
implied by the funding round). As a result these funds are no longer available
to TruFin.

The Group's unrestricted cash position as at 28 February 2022 was £2.8
million. Following the announcement of Lloyds' intention to enter into a
commercial agreement with Satago, the Group will accelerate its investment in
this substantial opportunity.  Without the funds to be raised under the Share
Issue, the Directors forecast that the Group has sufficient working capital to
maintain its current business plan until August 2022.

4.     Reasons for the share issue and Use of Proceeds

With two of the Group's subsidiaries reaching breakeven, and Satago securing a
partner in Lloyds, 2021 and 2022 to date have been transformational for the
Group. The Board continue to see significant value across each of the
portfolio companies and, in order to fund Satago and Playstack to
profitability, and to provide working capital, the Company is proposing to
raise gross proceeds of up to approximately £10.0 million through the Placing
of £8.0 million and an Open Offer of up to approximately a further £2.0
million.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds as follows:

•              c.£2 million intended to be invested in Satago,
which together with the £5 million invested by Lloyds Banking Group and the
£3 million already invested by TruFin, will be used to fund technology
development and recruit key employees, which is expected to fund Satago to
profitability

•              c.£4 million for growth opportunities in
Playstack and to fund it to profitability

•              c.£1.5-3.5 million for Group working capital
(replacing TruFin's loan, provided to Satago converting into Satago equity)

Following completion of the Placing and the Open Offer, the Group is expected
to have sufficient working capital and cash headroom to execute on its
ambitious growth strategy through to a position of being cash generative.

 

5.     Principal terms of the Share Issue

The Company proposes to raise gross proceeds of £8.0 million (approximately
£7.5 million net of expenses) through the issue of 10,666,666 New Ordinary
Shares by way of a Placing at the Issue Price of 75 pence per New Ordinary
Share. The Issue Price represents a discount of 9.09 per cent. to the closing
middle market price of 82.5 pence per Existing Ordinary Share on 22 March 2022
(being the last business day prior to the announcement of the Share Issue). In
addition, the Company proposes to raise gross proceeds of up to approximately
£2.0 million (before expenses) through the issue of up to 2,694,073 New
Ordinary Shares by way of an Open Offer at the Issue Price.

The Placing

Liberum, as agent for the Company, has agreed to procure Placees by way of an
accelerated bookbuild process on the terms of the Placing Agreement. Placees
will apply to subscribe for the Placing Shares on the basis of the Terms and
Conditions of the Placing set out in the Appendix to this Announcement.  The
Placing is not being underwritten. The Placing Shares are not subject to
clawback and are not part of the Open Offer.

The Board believes that raising equity finance using the flexibility provided
by a non-pre-emptive placing is the most appropriate and optimal structure for
the Company at this time. This allows certain existing institutional holders
and new institutional investors the opportunity to participate in the Placing.

The Placing Agreement contains customary warranties and an indemnity from the
Company in favour of Liberum, together with provisions which enable Liberum to
terminate the Placing Agreement in certain circumstances, including where
there is a material adverse change affecting the Company or the Group prior to
Admission.

The obligations of Liberum under the Placing Agreement are conditional, inter
alia, upon Resolutions 1 and 2 being passed at the General Meeting, and
Admission of the Placing Shares occurring on or before 8.00 a.m. on 12 April
2022 (or such later date and/or time as the Company and Liberum may agree,
being no later than 30 April 2022).

The Placing Agreement provides for payment by the Company to Liberum of
customary commissions and expenses.

Open Offer

The Directors consider it important that Qualifying Shareholders have the
opportunity to participate in the fundraising, and the Directors have
concluded that the Open Offer is the most suitable option available to the
Company and its Shareholders.

Subject to the fulfilment of the conditions set out below, Qualifying
Shareholders will be able to subscribe for Open Offer Shares in proportion to
their holding of Existing Ordinary Shares held on the Record Date.
Shareholders subscribing for their full entitlement under the Open Offer may
also request additional Open Offer Shares as an Excess Entitlement, up to the
total number of Open Offer Shares available to Qualifying Shareholders under
the Open Offer. The Open Offer is not underwritten.

The Open Offer will be conditional, inter alia, on the following:

i)          the passing (without amendment) at the General Meeting of
the Resolutions and the Resolutions becoming unconditional;

ii)          the Placing Agreement not being terminated prior to
Admission of the Placing Shares and having become unconditional in all
respects;

iii)         Admission of the Placing Shares becoming effective on or
before 8.00 a.m. on 12 April 2022 (or such later date and/or time as the
Company and Liberum may agree, being no later than 30 April 2022); and

iv)         Admission of the Open Offer Shares becoming effective on
or before 8.00 a.m. on 12 April 2022 (or such later date and/or time as the
Company and Liberum may agree, being no later than 30 April 2022).

The allotment and issue of the Open Offer Shares is conditional on Admission
of the Placing Shares but the Placing is not conditional on Admission of the
Open Offer Shares; if the Placing does not complete, then the Open Offer will
lapse. However, if the Open Offer does not complete, then this will not
prevent the Placing from completing.

If these and the other conditions to the Open Offer are not satisfied or
waived (where capable of waiver), the Open Offer will lapse and will not
proceed and any applications made by Qualifying Shareholders will be rejected.
In these circumstances, application monies received by the Receiving Agent in
respect of Open Offer Shares will be returned (at the Applicant's sole risk),
without payment of interest, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.
Lapsing of the Open Offer cannot occur after dealings in the Open Offer Shares
have begun.

Basic Entitlement

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Open Offer, the Company will invite
Qualifying Shareholders to apply for their Basic Entitlement of Open Offer
Shares at the Issue Price. Each Qualifying Shareholder's Basic Entitlement has
been calculated on the following basis:

1 Open Offer Share for every 30 Existing Ordinary Shares held at the Record
Date

Basic Entitlements will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of
Ordinary Shares and any fractional entitlements to Open Offer Shares will be
aggregated and made available under the Excess Application Facility.

Excess Entitlement

Qualifying Shareholders will also be invited to apply for additional Open
Offer Shares (up to the total number of Open Offer Shares available to
Qualifying Shareholders under the Open Offer) as an Excess Entitlement. Any
Open Offer Shares not issued to a Qualifying Shareholder pursuant to their
Basic Entitlement will be apportioned between those Qualifying Shareholders
who have applied for an Excess Entitlement at the sole and absolute discretion
of the Company, provided that no Qualifying Shareholder shall be required to
subscribe for more Open Offer Shares than he or she has specified on the
Application Form or through CREST.

The Open Offer Shares will, when issued and fully paid, rank pari passu in all
respects with the Ordinary Shares in issue at that time, including the right
to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after
the date of Admission of the Open Offer Shares. The Open Offer is not being
underwritten.

Qualifying Shareholders should note that the Open Offer is not a "rights
issue". Invitations to apply under the Open Offer are not transferable unless
to satisfy bona fide market claims. Qualifying non-CREST Shareholders should
be aware that the Application Form is not a negotiable document and cannot be
traded. Qualifying Shareholders should also be aware that in the Open Offer,
unlike in a rights issue, any Open Offer Shares not applied for pursuant to
the Open Offer (including under the Excess Application Facility) will not be
sold in the market nor will they be placed for the benefit of Qualifying
Shareholders who do not apply for Open Offer Shares under the Open Offer
(including under the Excess Application Facility). The Company reserves the
right to place, with other third party investors at the Issue Price, any Open
Offer Shares that are not taken up by Qualifying Shareholders pursuant to the
Open Offer.

Overseas Shareholders

Subject to certain exceptions, the Open Offer Shares will not be and are not
intended to be registered or qualified for sale in any jurisdiction other than
the United Kingdom. Accordingly, unless otherwise determined by the Company
and effected by the Company in a lawful manner, the Application Form will not
be sent to Shareholders with registered addresses in, or who are resident or
located in the United States or any other Open Offer Restricted Jurisdiction
since to do so would require compliance with the relevant securities laws of
that jurisdiction. The Company reserves the right to treat as invalid any
application or purported application for Open Offer Shares which appears to
the Company or its agents or professional advisers to have been executed,
effected or despatched in a manner which may involve a breach of the laws or
regulations of any jurisdiction or if the Company or its agents or
professional advisers believe that the same may violate applicable legal or
regulatory requirements or if it provides an address for delivery of share
certificates for Open Offer Shares outside the UK, or in the case of a credit
of Open Offer Shares in CREST, to a CREST member whose registered address
would not be in the UK.

Notwithstanding the foregoing and any other provision of the Circular or the
Application Form, the Company reserves the right to permit any Qualifying
Shareholder to apply for Open Offer Shares if the Company, in its sole and
absolute discretion, is satisfied that the transaction in question is exempt
from, or not subject to, the legislation or regulations giving rise to the
restrictions in question.

General

The New Ordinary Shares will represent approximately 14.2 per cent. of the
Company's issued share capital as enlarged by the New Ordinary Shares (the
"Enlarged Share Capital") following Admission (assuming full subscription
under the Open Offer and no further issues of Ordinary Shares prior to the
issue of the New Ordinary Shares). The New Ordinary Shares will be issued
credited as fully paid and will be identical to and rank pari passu in all
respects with the Existing Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive all
future distributions, declared, paid or made in respect of the Ordinary Shares
following the date of Admission.

Application will be made for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading
on AIM subject to the passing of the Resolutions at the General Meeting. It is
expected that Admission will become effective on 12 April 2022 and that
dealings for normal settlement in the New Ordinary Shares will commence at
8.00 a.m. on 12 April 2022.

Persons (including individuals, funds or otherwise) who are invited to and who
have chosen to participate in the Placing (and any person acting on such
person's behalf), by making an oral or written offer to subscribe for Placing
Shares will be deemed to have read and understood this Announcement, including
this Appendix, in its entirety and to be making such offer on the terms and
conditions, and to be providing the representations, warranties,
acknowledgements, and undertakings contained in this Appendix.

In this Appendix, unless the context otherwise requires, "Placee" means a
Relevant Person (including individuals, funds or others) by whom or on whose
behalf a commitment to subscribe for Placing Shares has been given. In
particular, each such Placee represents, warrants and acknowledges that:

1.         it is a Relevant Person (as defined above) and undertakes
that it will acquire, hold, manage or dispose of any Placing Shares that are
allocated to it for the purposes of its business;

2.         in the case of any Placing Shares acquired by it as a
financial intermediary within the United Kingdom, as that term is used in
Article 5(1) of the UK Prospectus Regulation, (i) the Placing Shares acquired
by it in the Placing have not been acquired on behalf of, nor have they been
acquired with a view to their offer or resale to, persons in the United
Kingdom or to which the UK Prospectus Regulation otherwise applies other than
UK Qualified Investors or in circumstances in which the prior consent of
Liberum has been given to the offer or resale; or (ii) where Placing Shares
have been acquired by it on behalf of persons in the United Kingdom other than
UK Qualified Investors, the offer of those Placing Shares to it is not treated
under the UK Prospectus Regulation as having been made to such persons;

3.         in the case of any Placing Shares acquired by it as a
financial intermediary within the EEA, as that term is used in Article 5(1) of
the EU Prospectus Regulation, (i) the Placing Shares acquired by it in the

a view to their offer or resale to, persons in any member state of the
European Economic Area or to which the EU Prospectus Regulation otherwise
applies other than EU Qualified Investors or in circumstances in which the
prior consent of Liberum has been given to the offer or resale; or (ii) where
Placing Shares have been acquired by it on behalf of persons in any member
state of the EEA other than EU Qualified Investors, the offer of those Placing
Shares to it is not treated under the EU Prospectus Regulation as having been
made to such persons;

4.         (i) it and the person(s), if any, for whose account or
benefit it is acquiring the Placing Shares are purchasing the Placing Shares
in an "offshore transaction" as defined in and pursuant to Regulation S under
the Securities Act ("Regulation S"); (ii) it is aware of the restrictions on
the offer and sale of the Placing Shares pursuant to Regulation S; and (iii)
the Placing Shares have not been offered to it by means of any "directed

exercises sole investment discretion and has the authority to make and does
make the representations, warranties, indemnities, acknowledgements and
agreements contained in this Announcement;

person, such person understands) the resale and transfer restrictions set out
in this Appendix;

7.         it acknowledges that the Placing Shares have not been and
will not be registered under the Securities Act or with any securities
regulatory authority of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States
and may not be offered, sold or transferred, directly or indirectly, within
the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction
not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and in
compliance with any applicable securities laws of any state or other
jurisdiction of the United States, and that there will be no public offer of
the Placing Shares in the United States; and

8.         the Company and Liberum will rely upon the truth and
accuracy of the foregoing representations, acknowledgements and agreements.

The Placing Shares have not been approved or disapproved by the US Securities
and Exchange Commission, any state securities commission or other regulatory
authority in the United States, nor have any of the foregoing authorities
passed upon or endorsed the merits of the Placing or the accuracy or adequacy
of this Announcement. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence
in the United States.

Persons (including, without limitation, nominees and trustees) who have a
contractual or other legal obligation to forward a copy of this Appendix (or
the Announcement of which it forms part) should seek appropriate advice before
taking any action.

Details of the Placing

Liberum, acting as Placing Agent, has entered into a placing and open offer
agreement with the Company (the "Placing Agreement") under which, subject to
the conditions set out therein, Liberum has agreed to use its reasonable
endeavours to procure subscribers for the Placing Shares at the Placing Price.

The Placing is conditional upon the Placing Agreement becoming unconditional
in all respects.

The Placing Shares will, when issued, rank pari passu in all respects with the
existing issued Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive dividends and
other distributions declared, made or paid following Admission.

Application for admission to trading

Applications will be made to the London Stock Exchange plc ("LSE") for
admission of the New Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Placing
("Admission") to trading on AIM, a market of that name operated by LSE ("AIM")
in accordance with the AIM Rules for Companies. It is expected that Admission
will become effective and that dealings in the New Ordinary Shares will
commence on AIM at 8.00 a.m. on 12 April 2022, and in any event no later than
30 April 2022.

Bookbuild

Liberum will today commence the bookbuilding process in respect of the Placing
(the "Bookbuild") to determine demand for participation in the Placing by
Placees. This Appendix gives details of the terms and conditions of, and the
mechanics of participation in, the Placing. No commissions will be paid to
Placees or by Placees in respect of any Placing Shares.

Liberum and the Company shall be entitled to effect the Placing by such
alternative method to the Bookbuild as they may, in their sole discretion,
determine.

Participation in, and principal terms of, the Placing

Liberum is arranging the Placing as agent for and on behalf of the Company.
Participation in the Placing will only be available to Placees who may
lawfully be, and are, invited to participate by Liberum. Liberum's agents and
their respective affiliates are each entitled to enter bids in the Bookbuild
as principal.

The number of Placing Shares to be issued will be agreed between Liberum and
the Company following completion of the Bookbuild. The number of Placing
Shares will be announced on a Regulatory Information Service following the
completion of the Bookbuild.

To bid in the Bookbuild, Placees should communicate their bid by telephone or
in writing to their usual sales contact at Liberum. Each bid should state the
number of Placing Shares which the prospective Placee wishes to acquire at the
Placing Price established by the Company and Liberum. Bids may be scaled down
by Liberum on the basis referred to below.

The Bookbuild is expected to close no later than 12 p.m. on 23 March 2022, but
may be closed earlier or later at the absolute discretion of Liberum. Liberum
may, in agreement with the Company, accept bids that are received after the
Bookbuild has closed. The Company reserves the right (upon the agreement of
Liberum) to reduce or seek to increase (subject to the maximum size referred
to in the Announcement) the amount to be raised pursuant to the Placing.

Liberum will determine in its absolute discretion (in consultation with the
Company) the extent of each Placee's participation in the Placing, which will
not necessarily be the same for each Placee and this will be confirmed orally
or in writing by Liberum as agent of the Company ("Confirmation"). No element
of the Placing will be underwritten. The Confirmation will constitute an
irrevocable legally binding commitment upon that person (who will at that
point become a Placee) to subscribe for the number of Placing Shares allocated
to it at the Placing Price on the terms and conditions set out in this
Appendix (a copy of the terms and conditions having been provided to the
Placee prior to or at the same time as such Confirmation) and in accordance
with the Company's articles of association. Each prospective Placee's
allocation and commitment will be evidenced by a contract note or an
electronic trade confirmation issued to such Placee by Liberum. The terms of
this Appendix will be deemed incorporated by reference therein. For the
avoidance of doubt, the Confirmation constitutes each Placee's irrevocable
legally binding agreement, subject to the Placing Agreement not having been
terminated, to pay the aggregate settlement amount for the Placing Shares to
be subscribed for by that Placee regardless of the total number of Placing
Shares (if any) subscribed for by any other investor(s).

Liberum reserves the right to scale back the number of Placing Shares to be
subscribed by any Placee in the event of an oversubscription under the
Placing. Liberum also reserves the right not to accept offers for Placing
Shares or to accept such offers in part rather than in whole.

Each Placee will be required to pay to Liberum, on the Company's behalf, the
Placing Price for each Placing Share agreed to be acquired by it under the
Placing in accordance with the terms set out herein. Each Placee's obligation
to acquire and pay for Placing Shares under the Placing will be owed to
Liberum and the Company. Each Placee has an immediate, separate, irrevocable
and binding obligation, owed to Liberum, to pay to it (or as it may direct) in
cleared funds an amount equal to the product of the Placing Price and the
number of Placing Shares such Placee has agreed to subscribe for. Each Placee
will be deemed to have read and understood this Appendix in its entirety, to
be participating in the Placing upon the terms and conditions contained in
this Appendix, and to be providing the representations, warranties,
agreements, acknowledgements and undertakings, in each case as contained in
this Appendix. To the fullest extent permitted by law and applicable FCA rules
(the "FCA Rules"), neither (i) Liberum, (ii) any of its respective directors,
officers, employees or consultants, or (iii) to the extent not contained
within (i) or (ii), any person connected with Liberum as defined in the FCA
Rules ((i), (ii) and (iii) being together "affiliates" and individually an
"affiliate"), shall have any liability to Placees or to any person other than
the Company in respect of the Placing.

Irrespective of the time at which a Placee's participation in the Placing is
confirmed, settlement for all Placing Shares to be acquired pursuant to the
Placing will be required to be made at the same time, on the basis explained
below under 'Registration and settlement'.

Completion of the Placing will be subject to the fulfilment of the conditions
referred to below under 'Conditions of the Placing' and to the Placing not
being terminated on the basis referred to below under 'Termination of the
Placing Agreement'. In the event that the Placing Agreement does not become
unconditional in any respect or is terminated prior to Admission, the Placing
will not proceed and all funds delivered by the Placee to Liberum in respect
of the Placee's participation will be returned to the Placee at the Placee's
risk without interest.

By participating in the Placing, each Placee agrees that its rights and
obligations in respect of the Placing will terminate only in the circumstances
described below and will not otherwise be capable of rescission or termination
by the Placee.

By participating in the Placing, each Placee is deemed to have read and
understood this Announcement, including the Appendices, in its entirety and to
be making such offer on the terms and conditions, and to be providing the
representations, warranties, acknowledgements, and undertakings contained in
the Appendices.

To the fullest extent permissible by law, neither the Company, nor Liberum nor
any of their affiliates shall have any liability to Placees (or to any other
person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise). In particular,
neither Liberum nor any of its affiliates shall have any liability (including,
to the extent permissible by law, any fiduciary duties) in respect of
Liberum's conduct of the Bookbuild or of such alternative method of effecting
the Placing as Liberum and the Company may agree.

Conditions of the Placing

The obligations of Liberum under the Placing Agreement in respect of the
Placing Shares are conditional on, amongst other things:

(a)        the passing of the Resolutions at the General Meeting or any
adjournment thereof;

(b)        the Company having complied with all of its material
obligations under the Placing Agreement (to the extent that such obligations
fall to be performed prior to Admission); and

(c)        Admission having occurred not later than 8.00 a.m. on 12
April 2022 or such later date as the Company and Liberum may agree, but in any
event not later than 8.00 a.m. on 30 April 2022.

If (i) any of the conditions contained in the Placing Agreement in relation to
the Placing Shares are not fulfilled or waived by Liberum by the respective
time or date where specified, (ii) any of such conditions becomes incapable of
being fulfilled or (iii) the Placing Agreement is terminated in the
circumstances specified below, the Placing will not proceed and the Placee's
rights and obligations hereunder in relation to the Placing Shares shall cease
and terminate at such time and each Placee agrees that no claim can be made by
the Placee in respect thereof.

Liberum, at its discretion and upon such terms as it thinks fit, may waive
(where capable of waiver) compliance by the Company with the whole or any part
of any of the Company's obligations in relation to the conditions in the
Placing Agreement. Any such extension or waiver will not affect Placees'
commitments as set out in this Announcement (including this Appendix).

None of Liberum, the Company or any other person shall have any liability to
any Placee (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or
otherwise) in respect of any decision they may make as to whether or not to
waive or to extend the time and/or the date for the satisfaction of any
condition to the Placing nor for any decision they may make as to the
satisfaction of any condition or in respect of the Placing generally, and by
participating in the Placing each Placee agrees that any such decision is
within the absolute discretion of Liberum.

Termination of the Placing Agreement

Liberum is entitled at any time before Admission, to terminate the Placing
Agreement in relation to its obligations in respect of the Placing Shares by
giving notice to the Company if, amongst other things:

(a)        the Company has failed to comply with any of its obligations
under the Placing Agreement; or

(b)        any statement in this Announcement or any other document or
announcement issued or published by or on behalf of the Company in connection
with the Placing has become or been discovered to be untrue or inaccurate in
any material respect or misleading; or

(c)        any warranty given by the Company in the Placing Agreement
is, or would be if repeated at any time up to Admission (by reference to the
facts and circumstances then existing), untrue or inaccurate in any material
respect or misleading; or

(d)        matters have arisen or have been discovered which would, if
this Announcement, or any other document or announcement issued or published
by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the Placing, were to be
issued at that time, constitute a material inaccuracy or omission therefrom;
or

(e)        there shall have occurred, happened or come into effect (i)
any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, any attack or act of terrorism, any
declaration of a national emergency or war and any other calamity or crisis of
national or international effect; or (ii) any suspension or limitation of
trading generally on the New York Stock Exchange or the LSE, or minimum or
maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices of
securities have been required, by any of said exchanges or by such system or
by order of any governmental authority, or a material disruption has occurred
in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the
United States or the United Kingdom; or (iii) any material adverse change in
national or international financial, monetary, economic, political or market
conditions, which, in each case, in the opinion of Liberum acting in good
faith makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the Placing.

Upon such termination, the parties to the Placing Agreement shall be released
and discharged (except for any liability arising before or in relation to such
termination) from their respective obligations under or pursuant to the
Placing Agreement, subject to certain exceptions.

By participating in the Placing, Placees agree that the exercise by Liberum of
any right of termination or other discretion under the Placing Agreement shall
be within the absolute discretion of Liberum and that they need not make any
reference to Placees and that they shall have no liability to Placees
whatsoever in connection with any such exercise or failure so to exercise.

No prospectus

No offering document, prospectus or admission document has been or will be
submitted to be approved by the FCA, the Jersey Financial Services Commission
(the "JFSC") or submitted to the LSE in relation to the Placing and Placees'
commitments will be made solely on the basis of their own assessment of the
Company, the Placing Shares and the Placing based on the Company's publicly
available information taken together with the information contained in this
Announcement (including this Appendix) released by the Company today and any
information publicly announced to a Regulatory Information Service by or on
behalf of the Company on or prior to the date of this Announcement, and
subject to the further terms set forth in the contract note to be provided to
individual prospective Placees.

Each Placee, by accepting a participation in the Placing, agrees that the
content of this Announcement (including this Appendix) is exclusively the
responsibility of the Company and confirms that it has neither received nor
relied on any other information, representation, warranty, or statement made
by or on behalf of the Company, Liberum or any other person and none of
Liberum nor the Company nor any other person will be liable for any Placee's
decision to participate in the Placing based on any other information,
representation, warranty or statement which the Placees may have obtained or
received. Each Placee acknowledges and agrees that it has relied on its own
investigation of the business, financial or other position of the Company in
accepting a participation in the Placing. No Placee should consider any
information in this Announcement (including this Appendix) to be legal, tax or
business advice. Each Placee should consult its own legal adviser, tax adviser
and/or business adviser for legal, tax and business advice regarding an
investment in the Placing Shares. Nothing in this paragraph shall exclude the
liability of any person for fraudulent misrepresentation.

Registration and settlement

Settlement of transactions in the Placing Shares following Admission will take
place within the system administered by CREST, subject to certain exceptions.
Liberum reserves the right to require settlement for and delivery of the
Placing Shares (or a portion thereof) to Placees by such other means that it
deems necessary, including in certificated form if, in the reasonable opinion
of Liberum, delivery or settlement is not possible or practicable within the
CREST system or would not be consistent with the regulatory requirements in
the Placee's jurisdiction.

Participation in the Placing is only available to persons who are invited to
participate in it by Liberum.

A Placee's commitment to acquire a fixed number of Placing Shares under the
Placing will be agreed orally or in writing with Liberum. Such agreement will
constitute a legally binding commitment on such Placee's part to acquire that
number of Placing Shares at the Placing Price on the terms and conditions set
out or referred to in the Appendices and subject to the Company's articles of
association.

Following the close of the Bookbuild, each Placee allocated Placing Shares in
the Placing will be sent a contract note or electronic trade confirmation in
accordance with the standing arrangements in place with Liberum, stating the
number of Placing Shares allocated to it at the Placing Price, the aggregate
amount owed by such Placee to Liberum and settlement instructions.

Each Placee agrees that it will do all things necessary to ensure that
delivery and payment is completed in accordance with the standing CREST or
certificated settlement instructions that it has in place with Liberum.
Settlement should be through Liberum against CREST ID: 7BUAG. For the
avoidance of doubt, Placing allocations will be booked with a trade date of 24
March 2022 and settlement date of 12 April 2022. Settlement will take place on
a delivery versus payment basis.

The Company will deliver the Placing Shares to the CREST account operated by
Liberum as agent for the Company and Liberum will enter their delivery (DEL)
instruction into the CREST system. The input to CREST by a Placee of a
matching or acceptance instruction will then allow delivery of the relevant
Placing Shares to that Placee against payment.

Interest is chargeable daily on payments not received from Placees on the due
date in accordance with the arrangements set out above at the rate of two
percentage points above the Bank of England's base rate from time to time.

Each Placee is deemed to agree that, if it does not comply with these
obligations, the Company may sell any or all of the Placing Shares allocated
to that Placee on such Placee's behalf and retain from the proceeds, for the
Company's account and benefit, an amount equal to the aggregate amount owed by
the Placee plus any interest due. The relevant Placee will, however, remain
liable for any shortfall below the aggregate amount owed by it and may be
required to bear any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax (together with any
interest or penalties thereon or other similar taxes imposed in any
jurisdiction) which may arise upon the sale of such Placing Shares on such
Placee's behalf. By communicating a bid for Placing Shares, each Placee
confers on Liberum all such authorities and powers necessary to carry out any
such transaction and agrees to ratify and confirm all actions which Liberum
lawfully takes on such Placee's behalf.

If Placing Shares are to be delivered to a custodian or settlement agent,
Placees should ensure that the contract note or electronic trade confirmation
is copied and delivered immediately to the relevant person within that
organisation. Insofar as Placing Shares are registered in a Placee's name or
that of its nominee or in the name of any person for whom a Placee is
contracting as agent or that of a nominee for such person, such Placing Shares
should, subject as provided below, be so registered free from any liability to
UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. If there are any other circumstances
in which any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax (including any interest and
penalties relating thereto) is payable in respect of the allocation,
allotment, issue or delivery of the Placing Shares (or for the avoidance of
doubt if any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax is payable in connection
with any subsequent transfer of or agreement to transfer Placing Shares),
neither Liberum nor the Company shall be responsible for the payment thereof.
Placees will not be entitled to receive any fee or commission in connection
with the Placing.

issue, transfer or other taxes due in connection with its participation in any

not, and at the time the Placing Shares are subscribed will not be, a resident
of, or with an address in, the United States, Australia, Canada, Japan, New
Zealand or the Republic of South Africa and that the Placing Shares have not
been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or with any
securities regulatory authority of any state or jurisdiction of the United
States, or the relevant Australian, Canadian, Japanese, New Zealand or South

exemptions;

21.        it has complied with all relevant laws and regulations of

their respective directors, officers, agents, employees or advisers acting in
breach of the legal or regulatory requirements of any territory in connection
with the Placing;

22.        its purchase of Placing Shares does not trigger, in the
jurisdiction in which it is resident or located: (i) any obligation to prepare

such purchase; (ii) any disclosure or reporting obligation of the Company; or
(iii) any registration or other obligation on the part of the Company;

23.        it (and any person acting on its behalf) will make payment

24.        none of Liberum nor any of its affiliates, nor any person
acting on behalf of any of them, is making any recommendations to it, advising
it regarding the suitability of any transactions it may enter into in
connection with the Placing and that participation in the Placing is on the
basis that it is not and will not be a client of Liberum for the purposes of
the Placing and that Liberum has no duties or responsibilities to it for
providing the protections afforded to its clients or for providing advice in
relation to the Placing nor in respect of any representations, warranties,
undertakings or indemnities contained in the Placing Agreement nor for the
exercise or performance of any of its rights and obligations thereunder
including any rights to waive or vary any conditions or exercise any
termination right;

25.        the person whom it specifies for registration as holder of
the Placing Shares will be (i) itself or (ii) its nominee, as the case may be.
Neither Liberum nor the Company will be responsible for any liability to stamp
duty or stamp duty reserve tax resulting from a failure to observe this
requirement. Each Placee and any person acting on behalf of such Placee agrees
to participate in the Placing and it agrees to indemnify the Company and
Liberum in respect of the same on the basis that the Placing Shares will be
allotted to the CREST stock account of Liberum who will hold them as nominee
on behalf of such Placee until settlement in accordance with its standing

is acting) to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts as regards any
claim, dispute or matter arising out of any such contract, except that

Placing Shares (together with any interest chargeable thereon) may be taken by
the Company or Liberum in any jurisdiction in which the relevant Placee is
incorporated or in which any of its securities have a quotation on a
recognised stock exchange;

27.        the rights and remedies of the Company and Liberum under the
terms and conditions in this Announcement are in addition to any rights and
remedies which would otherwise be available to each of them and the exercise
or partial exercise of one will not prevent the exercise of others;

28.        it agrees to indemnify on an after tax basis and hold the
Company and Liberum and their respective affiliates harmless from any and all
costs, claims, liabilities and expenses (including legal fees and expenses)
arising out of or in connection with any breach of the representations,
warranties, acknowledgements, agreements and undertakings in the Appendices
and further agrees that the provisions of the Appendices shall survive after
completion of the Placing;

29.        it will acquire any Placing Shares subscribed for by it for
its account or for one or more accounts as to each of which it exercises sole
investment discretion and it has full power to make the acknowledgements,
representations and agreements herein on behalf of each such account;

30.        its commitment to subscribe for Placing Shares on the terms
set out herein and in the relevant contract notes will continue
notwithstanding any amendment that may in the future be made to the terms of
the Placing and that Placees will have no right to be consulted or require
that their consent be obtained with respect to the Company's conduct of the
Placing. The foregoing representations, warranties and confirmations are given
for the benefit of the Company and Liberum. The agreement to settle a Placee's
subscription (and/or the subscription of a person for whom such Placee is
contracting as agent) free of stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax depends on
the settlement relating only to the subscription by it and/or such person
direct from the Company for the Placing Shares in question. Such agreement
assumes, and is based on a warranty from each Placee, that neither it, nor the
person specified by it for registration as holder, of Placing Shares is, or is
acting as nominee or agent for, and that the Placing Shares will not be
allotted to, a person who is or may be liable to stamp duty or stamp duty
reserve tax under any of sections 67, 70, 93 and 96 of the Finance Act 1986
(depositary receipts and clearance services). If there are any such
arrangements, or the settlement relates to any other dealing in the Placing
Shares, stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax may be payable. In that event the
Placee agrees that it shall be responsible for such stamp duty or stamp duty
reserve tax, and neither the Company nor Liberum shall be responsible for such
stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. If this is the case, each Placee should
seek its own advice and notify Liberum accordingly;

31.        no action has been or will be taken by any of the Company,
Liberum or any person acting on behalf of the Company or Liberum that would,
or is intended to, permit a public offer of the Placing Shares in any country
or jurisdiction where any such action for that purpose is required;

32.        in making any decision to subscribe for the Placing Shares,
it has knowledge and experience in financial, business and international
investment matters as is required to evaluate the merits and risks of
subscribing for the Placing Shares. It further confirms that it is experienced
in investing in securities of this nature in this sector and is aware that it
may be required to bear, and is able to bear, the economic risk of, and is
able to sustain a complete loss in connection with the Placing. It further
confirms that it relied on its own examination and due diligence of the
Company and its associates taken as a whole, and the terms of the Placing,
including the merits and risks involved;

33.        it has (i) made its own assessment and satisfied itself
concerning legal, regulatory, tax, business and financial considerations in
connection herewith to the extent it deems necessary; (ii) had access to
review publicly available information concerning the Company that it considers
necessary or appropriate and sufficient in making an investment decision;
(iii) reviewed such information as it believes is necessary or appropriate in
connection with its subscription of the Placing Shares; and (iv) made its
investment decision based upon its own judgment, due diligence and analysis
and not upon any view expressed or information provided by or on behalf of
Liberum;

34.        it may not rely on any investigation that Liberum or any
person acting on its behalf may or may not have conducted with respect to the
Company or the Placing and Liberum has not made any representation to it,
express or implied, with respect to the merits of the Placing, the
subscription for the Placing Shares, or as to the condition, financial or
otherwise, of the Company, or as to any other matter relating thereto, and
nothing herein shall be construed as a recommendation to it to subscribe for
the Placing Shares. It acknowledges and agrees that no information has been
prepared by Liberum or the Company for the purposes of this Placing;

35.        it will not hold Liberum or any of its affiliates or any
person acting on their behalf responsible or liable for any misstatements in
or omission from any publicly available information relating to the Company or
information made available (whether in written or oral form) in presentations
or as part of roadshow discussions with investors relating to the Company (the
"Information") and that neither Liberum nor any person acting on behalf of
Liberum makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the
truth, accuracy or completeness of such Information or accepts any
responsibility for any of such Information;

36.        the Placee is a person located outside the United States and
is subscribing for Placing Shares only in an "offshore transaction" as defined
in and pursuant to Regulation S;

37.        the Placee is not acquiring Placing Shares as a result of
any "directed selling efforts" as defined in Regulation S;

38.        it is not acting on a non-discretionary basis for the account
or benefit of a person located within the United States at the time the
undertaking to subscribe for Placing Shares is given;

39.        it has complied and will comply with all applicable
provisions of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 with respect to anything done by
it in relation to the Placing Shares in, from or otherwise involving, Jersey;
and

40.       the foregoing representations, warranties and confirmations are
given for the benefit of the Company and Liberum and are irrevocable. The
Company, Liberum and their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers
and employees and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the
foregoing acknowledgements, representations, warranties and agreements and it
agrees that if any of the acknowledgements, representations, warranties and
agreements made in connection with its acquiring of Placing Shares is no
longer accurate, it shall promptly notify the Company and Liberum. It
irrevocably authorises Liberum and the Company to produce this Announcement
pursuant to, in connection with, or as may be required by, any applicable law
or regulation, administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with
respect to the matters set out herein.

The agreement to allot and issue Placing Shares to Placees (or the persons for
whom Placees are contracting as nominee or agent) free of stamp duty and stamp
duty reserve tax relates only to their allotment and issue to Placees, or such
persons as they nominate as their agents, direct from the Company for the
Placing Shares in question. Such agreement is subject to the representations,
warranties and further terms above and assumes, and is based on the warranty
from each Placee, that the Placing Shares are not being acquired in connection
with arrangements to issue depositary receipts or to issue or transfer the
Placing Shares into a clearance service. If there are any such arrangements,
or the settlement relates to any other dealing in the Placing Shares, stamp
duty or stamp duty reserve tax or other similar taxes may be payable, for
which neither the Company nor Liberum will be responsible and each Placee
shall indemnify on an after-tax basis and hold harmless the Company, Liberum
and their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers and employees for
any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax paid by them in respect of any such
arrangements or dealings.

In addition, Placees should note that they will be liable for any stamp duty
and all other stamp, issue, securities, transfer, registration, documentary or
other duties or taxes (including any interest, fines or penalties relating
thereto) payable outside the United Kingdom by them or any other person on the
subscription by them of any Placing Shares or the agreement by them to
subscribe for any Placing Shares. Each Placee agrees to indemnify on an
after-tax basis and hold harmless the Company, Liberum and their respective
affiliates, agents, directors, officers and employees from any and all
interest, fines or penalties in relation to any such duties or taxes to the
extent that such interest, fines or penalties arise from the unreasonable
default or delay of that Placee or its agent.

Each Placee should seek its own advice as to whether any of the above tax
liabilities arise and notify Liberum accordingly.

Each Placee and any person acting on behalf of each Placee acknowledges and
agrees that Liberum or any of its affiliates may, at their absolute
discretion, agree to become a Placee in respect of some or all of the Placing
Shares.

When a Placee or person acting on behalf of the Placee is dealing with
Liberum, any money held in an account with Liberum on behalf of the Placee
and/or any person acting on behalf of the Placee will not be treated as client
money within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the FCA made under
the FSMA. The Placee acknowledges that the money will not be subject to the
protections conferred by the client money rules; as a consequence, this money
will not be segregated from Liberum money in accordance with the client money
rules and will be used by Liberum in the course of its own business; and the
Placee will rank only as a general creditor of Liberum.

All times and dates in this Announcement may be subject to amendment. Liberum
shall notify the Placees and any person acting on behalf of the Placees of any
changes.

Past performance is not a guide to future performance and persons needing
advice should consult an independent financial adviser.

Placing Documents.
