Key Decisions for Investors

• Shareholders must update their total voting rights denominator to 53,890,518 for Income shares and 34,381,161 for Growth shares to ensure compliance with FCA disclosure obligations regarding changes in their shareholdings.
• Monitor the Company's ongoing use of its blocklisting facility, as the remaining capacity for 2,764,510 Income shares and 1,304,550 Growth shares could lead to further dilution or provide capital for future investments.
• Note the issuance price of 115.5p per Income share as a recent reference point for the valuation of these shares, particularly given the extended period until their trading commencement on June 4, 2025.
