The warrants are exercisable at a strike price of 0.018 pence ("Warrants"), which is now in line with the mid-point closing share price on 12 August 2024. The Warrants are exercisable for a period of 5 years from July 1, 2024 and those being issued are detailed below:

As previously announced, the Directors will consider issuing further warrants in lieu of fees for each calendar quarter based on the closing price of the shares and the warrant valuation on the last day of the previous quarter and will make an election and announce the issue of warrants (if so elected) at the earliest opportunity in each calendar quarter. This election will be made by the Board with each Director taking into consideration the working capital position of the Company.
