This document, which comprises an admission document drawn up in accordance with the AIM Rules for Companies, has been issued in connection with the proposed admission of the issued and to be issued Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM, a market operated by the London Stock Exchange plc (“AIM”). This document does not contain an offer or constitute any part of an offer to the public within the meaning of sections 85 and 102B of FSMA or otherwise. This document is not an approved prospectus for the purposes of section 85 of FSMA and a copy of it has not been, and will not be, delivered to the Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”) in accordance with the Prospectus Regulation Rules or delivered to or approved by any other authority which could be a competent authority for the purposes of the EU Prospectus Regulation.
The Company and the Directors (whose names appear on page [●] of this document) accept responsibility individually and collectively for the information contained in this document including individual and collective responsibility for the Company’s compliance with the AIM Rules. To the best of the knowledge and belief of the Company and the Directors (who have taken all reasonable care to ensure that such is the case) the information contained in this document is in accordance with the facts and contains no omission likely to affect the import of such information. To the extent information has been sourced from a third party, this information has been accurately reproduced and, as far as the Company and the Directors are aware, no facts have been omitted which may render the reproduced information inaccurate or misleading. In connection with this document, no person is authorised to give any information or make any representation other than as contained in this document.
Application will be made for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of the Company to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is emphasised that no application will be made for admission of the entire issued and to be issued share capital of the Company to the Official List of the FCA. The Ordinary Shares are not traded on any recognised investment exchange and no application has been or is intended to be made for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of the Company to be admitted to trading on any such market. It is expected that Admission will become effective and dealings in the Ordinary Shares will commence on AIM on [●] 2022.
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. 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. The London Stock Exchange has not itself examined or approved the contents of this document.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this document does not constitute an offer of Ordinary Shares to any person with a registered address, or who is resident in, the United States, or who is otherwise a "U.S. Person" as defined in Regulation S under the US Securities Act. There will be no public offer of Ordinary Shares in the United States.
