Transactions in the Ordinary Shares prior to and post Cancellation

Prior to Cancellation

Shareholders should note that they are able to continue trading in the Ordinary Shares on AIM prior to Cancellation.

Dealing and settlement arrangements Post Cancellation

The Directors are aware that Shareholders may wish to acquire or dispose of Ordinary Shares in the Company following Cancellation. The Company has appointed Asset Match ( www.assetmatch.com ) to facilitate trading in the Ordinary Shares on a matched bargain basis following Cancellation ("Matched Bargain Facility"). Asset Match, a firm authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, will operate an electronic off-market dealing facility for the Ordinary Shares. This facility will allow existing shareholders of the Company and new investors to trade Ordinary Shares by matching buyers and sellers through periodic auctions. Investors can register their interest for further information on the Asset Match auction process by emailing dealing@assetmatch.com .

The Asset Match trading facility operates under its own code of practice, which governs the behaviour of participants and the running of the periodic auctions. Asset Match operates an open auction system where volumes of bids and offers at different prices are displayed on its website together with the closing date of the auction. At the end of each auction period, Asset Match pass this information through a non-discretionary algorithm that determines a "market-derived" share price based on supply and demand and allocates transactions accordingly. Bids and offers may be made and withdrawn at any time before the closing date of each auction.

Shareholders will continue to be able to hold their shares in uncertificated form (i.e. in CREST) and should check with their existing stockbroker whether they are willing or able to trade in unquoted shares. Shareholders wishing to trade shares through Asset Match must do so through a stockbroker. A comprehensive list of stockbrokers who have signed up to access the Asset Match platform is available on request.

Full details have been made available to Shareholders on the Company's website at www.morsesclubplc.com and directly by letter or e-mail (where appropriate). Shareholders may contact Asset Match in relation to any queries regarding trading via the secondary market trading facility by emailing dealing@assetmatch.com .

The Matched Bargain Facility will operate for a minimum of twelve months after Cancellation. The Directors' current intention is that it will continue beyond that time but Shareholders should note that it could be withdrawn. Further details will be communicated to Shareholders at the relevant time.

If Shareholders wish to buy or sell Ordinary Shares on AIM, they must do so prior to the Cancellation becoming effective. As noted above, it is anticipated that the last day of dealings in the Ordinary Shares on AIM will be 10 February 2023 and that the effective date of the Cancellation will be 13 February 2023.
