This document is an admission document in relation to AIM. It has been drawn up in accordance with the AIM Rules published by London Stock Exchange and has been issued in connection with the proposed admission to trading on AIM of the Ordinary Shares. This document does not constitute a prospectus for the purposes of the Prospectus Rules and has not been approved by or filed with the Financial Conduct Authority.

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 United Kingdom Listing Authority. 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. Each AIM company is required pursuant to the AIM Rules for Companies to have a nominated adviser. The nominated adviser is required to make a declaration to the London Stock Exchange on admission in the form set out in Schedule Two to the AIM Rules for Nominated Advisers. London Stock Exchange has not itself examined or approved the contents of this document. The AIM Rules are less demanding than those of the Official List.
