Admission, Settlement and Total Voting Rights

An application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the 395,897,277 Fundraise Shares and 124,267,747 Orion Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that Admission will become effective and dealings in the Fundraise Shares and Orion Shares to be issued pursuant to the Fundraise will commence on or around 28 December 2023.

Following Admission, there will be a total of 2,311,213,138 Ordinary Shares in issue, 670,000 of which are held in treasury. Shareholders should use the figure of 2,310,543,138 as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in the Company, under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

The new Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the PrimaryBid Offer will be issued free of all liens, charges and encumbrances and will, on Admission, rank pari passu in all respects with the new Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Placing, the Subscription and the Company's existing Ordinary Shares.

Furthermore, as announced on 5 December 2023, Acacia Resources Limited subscribed for 92,592,592 new ordinary shares of 1 pence each in the Company, which will be settled on or before 28 February 2024.
