The Subsequent Offering will, if conducted, be subject to, among other things:

including approval by the Board, and the EGM approving the board authorisation
to issue shares in the Subsequent Offering, (iii) the publication of a
prospectus for the Subsequent Offering and the listing of the shares issued as
part of the Private Placement, (iv) registration of the share capital increase
pertaining to the shares issued in the Subsequent Offering, and (v) the
prevailing market conditions.

The Subsequent Offering will be directed towards existing shareholders in the
Company as at 28 April 2026 (as registered with the VPS on 30 April 2026) who
(i) were not allocated shares in the Private Placement, and (ii) are not
resident in a jurisdiction where such offering would be unlawful, or would (in
