assets of approximately £3.48 million, representing approximately

issue.

additional working capital and funding for investment and

connection with its activity for corporate clients
Total Voting Rights
Following Admission, the Company’s enlarged share capital will
comprise 105,941,247 ordinary shares. No shares are held in
