Further Placing to Raise GBP104,000

Further to the placings announced by the Company on 11 June 2020 and 6 July 2020, Gunsynd (AIM: GUN, AQSE: GUN) announces that, in order to satisfy excess investor demand, it has placed a further 16,000,000 new ordinary shares to raise gross proceeds of approximately GBP104,000 (the "Placing"). The new ordinary shares have also been placed at a price of 0.65 pence per share (the "Placing Price").

In line with the placings announced on 11 June and 6 July, the places ("Placees") will also receive one warrant for every three ordinary shares subscribed for, exercisable at 1.3 pence (the "Placing Warrants") and expiring on the one-year anniversary of the date of issue. In aggregate, 5,333,334 Placing Warrants will be issued.

The net proceeds of the Placing will provide the Company with additional funding to progress its activities and make investments in line with its stated investing policy.

Peter Ruse and Donald Strang, Directors of the Company, have, on the same terms as the Placees above, subscribed for GBP31,000 in aggregate, being 4,769,231 new ordinary shares in the placing representing 30% of the total Placing ("Director Participation"). Further, as participants in the Placing on the same terms as the Placees above, Peter Ruse and Donald Strang will each receive Placing Warrants, on the basis of one warrant for every three ordinary shares subscribed for, on the same terms as the Placees.

The subscriptions described above, including the issue of the Placing Warrants, are deemed to be related party transactions for the purposes of Rule 13 of the AIM Rules. Hamish Harris, being the sole independent director of the Company for the purposes of this subscriptions, considers, having consulted with the Company's Nominated Adviser, that the terms of the subscriptions and the issue of the Placing Warrants are fair and reasonable insofar as shareholders are concerned.

The Placing Shares will rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares and an application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for admission of the 16,000,000 Placing shares to trading on AIM ("Admission"). Admission is expected to occur at 8.00 a.m. on or around 13 July 2020.

Total voting rights
