Notes:

Note 1 The financial information relating to Anemoi International Ltd for the 6 months period ended 30 June 2021 has been extracted from the unaudited financial information as at 30 June 2021 set out in Part X (A) (Historical Financial Information on the Group) of this Prospectus. Note 2 The financial information relating to the Former id4 for the 6 months period ended 30 June 2021 has been extracted from the unaudited financial information as at 30 June 2021 set out in Part X (C) (Unaudited Interim Financial Information of the Former id4) of this Prospectus. Note 3 The financial information relating to Apeiron Holdings AG for the 6 months period ended 30 June 2021 has been extracted from the unaudited financial information as at 30 June 2021 set out in Part X (E) Historical Financial Information of Apeiron Holdings AG of this Prospectus. Note 4 On 14 September 2021, the Former id4 and Apeiron Holdings AG merged and Apeiron Holdings AG changed its name to id4 AG (“id4”) (the “merger”). On 29 September 2021, Thalassa contributed and assigned to Apeiron Holdings (BVI) Ltd its shareholder loan receivables from id4. These loans were originally due from the Former id4 and Apeiron Holdings AG prior to the merger. As at 30 June 2021, the amount due from the Former id4 was CHF900,000 (£704,575) and Apeiron Holdings AG was CHF1,231,446 (£964,052).

Note 5 On 30 September 2021 Apeiron Holdings (BVI) Ltd subsequently contributed and assigned to id4 its shareholder loan receivables (which comprise the loans per Note 4 and CHF53,320 from Apeiron Holdings (BVI) Ltd to Apeiron Holdings AG prior to the merger with the Former id4) to id4. As at 30 June 2021, the total amount due under these loans was CHF2,184,766. Upon receipt of the contribution, id4 became both the creditor and debtor of the shareholder loans from Apeiron (BVI) Limited which were then extinguished. Note 6 Assumes the issue by the Company of the 66,666,666 Initial Consideration Shares to the shareholders of id4 in exchange for the total share capital of id4 on Completion. Note 7 The gross placing receipts of £2,175,000 are conditional on Admission. The cash expenses of the Placing and Admission payable by the Company are expected to total £410,148. Note 8 The consolidation of the Company and its subsidiaries will result in the elimination of the Company’s investment in id4, and the recognition of Goodwill.

What are the key risks that are specifc to the issuer? What are the key risks that are specifc to the issuer?
Brief description of the
most material risk factors
specifc to the issuer
contained in the Prospectus
1. Keyman risk– id4 is heavily dependent on its two founders, Sebastien Lalande and Emmanuel Nay. Mr Lalande is principally
responsible for overseeing the technical development of id4’s products. Mr Nay is responsible for overseeing the sales and the delivery
and implementation of those products within client organisations. If either or both of Mr Lalande and Mr Nay were to leave id4, there is
a material risk that the business would be adversely impacted.
2. Employee attraction, retention and succession- id4’s continued success is dependent upon its ability to attract and retain
skilled and qualifed personnel, in particular, members of the senior executive team, software engineers, and sales teams with the relevant
expertise. There is a risk that id4 may not be able to attract and retain adequately skilled and experienced employees or be able to fnd
effective replacements for individuals who leave.
3. Supplier risk
- Appway - Appway provides underlying platform and technology to id4 and is recognized as one of the best workfow CLM technology
providers for Wealth Managers. Appway’s core strategy is to sell its services to Tier 1 and Tier 2 banks and to provide consulting services
to develop and implement tailored and large scale ad-hoc CLM solutions. There is a risk that Appway becomes a direct competitor of id4
and seeks to target the same type of clients as id4, small and medium sized fnancial institutions.
- Reliance on other technology partners - In addition to Appway, id4 relies on a number of other technology partners to enhance its
solution offering by, for example, offering electronic signature, and customer screening. Despite the fact that id4 is systematically selecting
the best technology partners, and it is consistently expanding its partnerships with other solution providers, there is a risk that some of
these partners cease to collaborate with id4 or cease doing business.
4. Technology risk
- Data breaches and unauthorised access to customer data (cyber security) - id4’s applications involve the processing and the cloud hosting
and storage of customers’ information, including confdential and personal information of individuals. There is a risk, particularly in relation
to cloud-based applications, that security breaches and incidents could result in potential enforcement action and monetary fnes from data
protection authorities, litigation by customers, termination of customer contracts, potential indemnity obligations and potential remediation
costs, which could materially impact id4’s fnancial and operating performance and fnancial condition.
- Risks associated with failure of information technology (“IT”) systems - As a Software as a Service provider, id4 is dependent on
technology to create a reputation for serving its customer-base. As a result, any weakness in id4’s IT systems, including online platforms, or
other operational processes, could have an adverse effect on its ability to operate its businesses and meet customer needs. Although id4
maintains disaster recovery and business continuity contingency plans in relation to its business, incidents resulting in interruptions, delays,
the loss or corruption of data or the cessation of systems can still occur.

Rights attached to the
securities
The Company may issue shares with such rights or restrictions as may be determined by the Board, including, subject to the requirements of the
BVI Companies Act, shares which are to be redeemed, or are liable to be redeemed at the option of the Company or the holder of such shares.
Shareholders will have the right to receive notice of and to attend and vote at any meetings of Shareholders. The number of votes each
Shareholder has at a general meeting will be determined by the number of Ordinary Shares held by such Shareholder. Each Ordinary Share
carries the right to one (1) vote at a meeting of the members of the Company. There are no restrictions on voting rights. All Ordinary
Shares carry the same voting rights.
The Company shall hold an AGM each year in addition to any general meeting held in the year. The Directors can call a general meeting
at any time in accordance with the Articles. All members who are entitled to receive notice under the Articles must be given notice.
The Directors are generally empowered to allot shares for such consideration as they think ft, upon such terms and conditions as the
Directors may determine.
Subject to the provisions of the BVI Companies Act, the Directors may, by resolution, authorise a distribution by the Company at a time,
and of an amount, and to any members they think ft.
If the Company is wound up, the Shareholders may, subject to the Articles and any other sanctions required by the BVI Companies Act,

any part of the assets of the Company and, for that purpose, value any assets and determine how the division should be carried out as
between the Shareholders or different classes of Shareholder; and/or (ii) vest the whole or any part of the assets in trustees upon such
trusts for the beneft of the members and those liable to contribute to the winding up. No member shall be compelled to accept any
assets upon which there is a liability.
Restrictions on
transferability
Not applicable. The Ordinary Shares are freely transferable and tradeable and there are no restrictions on transfer. Each Shareholder may
transfer all or any of their Ordinary Shares which are in certifed form by means of an instrument of transfer in any usual form or in any
other form which the Directors may approve. Each Shareholder may transfer all or any of their Ordinary Shares which are in uncertifed

Securities Regulations 2001 (SI 2001 No. 3755) (the “Regulations”).
Dividend policy The Directors do not intend that the Company will declare a dividend in the near term, but instead apply the available cash resources
of the Enlarged Group into funding its expansion. Thereafter, the Board intends to commence the payment of dividends only when
it becomes commercially prudent to do so, having regard to the availability of distributable profts and the funds required to fnance
continuing future growth. The Company will only pay dividends to the extent that to do so is in accordance with the BVI Companies Act
and all other applicable laws.
Where will the securities be traded?
Application for admission
to trading on a regulated
market
The Existing Ordinary Shares are currently (and it is expected that the New Ordinary Shares will be) admitted to the standard segment of
the Offcial List and to trading on the Main Market. As the Acquisition constitutes a Reverse Takeover, upon Completion, the listing of the
Ordinary Shares on the standard segment of the Offcial List will be cancelled. Further applications will be made to the FCA and to the
London Stock Exchange for the Ordinary Shares (at such time comprising the Existing Ordinary Shares and New Ordinary Shares) to be
re-admitted to the standard segment of the Offcial List. Completion of the Acquisition and the Placing will both be subject to Admission
occurring. Completion will become effective at Admission which is currently expected to take place at 8.00 a.m. on 17 December 2021
(whereupon an announcement will be made by the Company to a Regulatory Information Service).
Identity of other markets
where the securities are to
be traded
Not applicable. There is currently no other market for the Ordinary Shares and the Company does not intend to seek admission to trading
of the Ordinary Shares on any market other than the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange.

SECTION F- KEY RISKS SPECIFIC TO THE SECURITIES

SECTION F- KEY RISKS SPECIFIC TO THE SECURITIES SECTION F- KEY RISKS SPECIFIC TO THE SECURITIES
What are the key risks that are specifc to the securities?
Brief description of the
most material risk factors
to the securities contained
in the Prospectus
1. A Standard Listing affords Shareholders less regulatory protection than a Premium Listing, which may have an adverse effect on the
valuation of the Ordinary Shares.
2. Any issue of Ordinary Shares in the future may dilute the interests of Shareholders and could impact upon the price of the Ordinary
Shares. The Company has previously issue a number of warrants and options, details of which are set out in this Document. The exercise
of the warrants and/or the options could result in a dilution of Shareholders’ interests if the prevailing share price per Ordinary Shares
exceeds the subscription price payable on the exercise of a warrant or option at the relevant time.
3. Prior to Suspension, there was a limited market for the Ordinary Shares. The price of the Ordinary Shares after Admission may also
vary due to a number of factors, including but not limited to, general economic conditions and forecasts, the Enlarged Group’s general
business condition and the release of its fnancial reports. Although the Company’s current intention is that its securities should continue
to trade on the London Stock Exchange, it cannot assure investors that it will always do so. In addition, an active trading market for the
Ordinary Shares may not develop or, if developed, may not be maintained. Investors may be unable to sell their Ordinary Shares unless a
market can be established and maintained, and if the Company subsequently on an exchange in addition to, or in lieu of, the London Stock
Exchange, the level of liquidity of the Ordinary Shares may decline.
4. The ability of the Enlarged Group to pay dividends is a function of its proftability and the extent to which, as a matter of law, it will have
available to it suffcient distributable reserves out of which any proposed dividend may be paid. The Company can give no assurances that
it will be able to pay a dividend going forward.
SECTION G - KEY INFORMATION ON THE OFFER OF SECURITIES TO THE PUBLIC AND/OR THE ADMISSION TO TRADING ON A

approximately 18.86% of the gross proceeds of the Placing of approximately £2,175,000. The total Net Placing Proceeds on this basis are
approximately £1,764,852.
Why is this Prospectus being produced?
Reasons for the offer or for
the admission to trading on
a regulated market
The Company is making the Acquisition, which constitutes a Reverse Takeover, and therefore requires the publication of this Document.
At the same time, the Company is conducting the Placing to raise funds to fulfl its objectives and strategy. The Enlarged Group’s intention
is to grow through a combination of organic growth and, where possible, selective acquisitions.
Use and estimated net
amount of the proceeds
The placing proceeds of £2,175,000 million together with the cash held by the Company at 10 December 2021 of £1,033,000 is intended
to be used in the following ways and in the following planned amounts:
• Increase the number of employees in sales, customer relationship management, product development and fnance and admin functions
(planned amount: £1.6m)
• Strengthen id4’s profle by increasing marketing spend (planned amount: £0.6m)
Indication of whether
the offer is subject to an
underwriting agreement
The Placing is not being underwritten. Peterhouse, as the Company’s broker and placing agent, has procured irrevocable commitments to
subscribe for the full amount of Placing Shares from subscribers in the Placing, and there are no conditions attached to such irrevocable
commitments other than Admission.
Indication of the most
material conficts of
interests relating to the
offer or admission to
trading
Mr. Duncan Soukup is currently a director and (indirectly) a shareholder of both the Company and id4. In light of the confict of interest
which the cross-directorships and shareholdings represent, an independent committee of the board of Directors has been constituted to
consider all matters in relation to the Proposed Transaction, its members being Mr. Gareth Edwards and Mr. Luca Tomasi (“Independent
Directors”).

PART II - RISK FACTORS

Any investment in the Ordinary Shares is subject to a number of risks. Prospective investors should note that the risks relating to the Enlarged Group, its markets and the Ordinary Shares summarised in Part I – (Summary) of this Document are the risks which the Directors believe to be the most essential to an assessment by a prospective investor of whether to consider an investment in the Ordinary Shares. However, as the risks which the Enlarged Group faces relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future, prospective investors should consider not only the information on the key risks summarised in Part I – (Summary) but also the risks set out below, together with all other information contained in this Document. Some of these risk factors apply to the conduct of business generally in the markets in which the Enlarged Group operates, whilst others are specific to the Enlarged Group. The categories below are not set out in any order of priority.

Additional risks and uncertainties currently unknown to the Company, or that it currently believes to be immaterial for taking investment decisions, may also have an adverse (or materially adverse) effect on the Enlarged Group’s business. If any combination of the following risk factors materialises, the Enlarged Group’s business, financial condition and/or operational performance could be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of the Ordinary Shares may decline and potential investors may lose all or part of their investment. An investment in Ordinary Shares is only suitable for investors capable of evaluating the risks and merits of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to bear any loss which may result from the investment. Accordingly, prospective investors are recommended to obtain independent financial advice from an adviser authorised under FSMA (or another appropriately authorised independent professional adviser) who specialises in advising upon investments. Investors should consider carefully whether an investment in the Ordinary Shares is suitable for them in light of the information in this Document and their personal circumstances.

RISKS RELATING TO THE ENLARGED GROUP’S BUSINESS

People risk

Keyman risk

id4 is heavily dependent on its two founders, Sebastien Lalande and Emmanuel Nay. Mr Lalande is principally responsible for overseeing the technical development of id4’s products. Mr Nay is responsible for overseeing the sales and the delivery and implementation of those products within client organisations. If either or both of Mr Lalande and Mr Nay were to leave id4, there is a material risk that the business would not be able to either (a) continue to develop its products to keep up with the changing regulatory landscape and/or id4 would need to outsource the product development and engineering to third party developers which would introduce additional cost to the business; or (b) provide a high level of client after-sales support in embedding id4’s products within client organisations and quality assurance.

Employee attraction, retention and succession

id4’s continued success is dependent upon its ability to attract and retain skilled and qualified personnel, in particular, members of the senior executive team, software engineers, and sales teams with the relevant expertise. id4 is headquartered in the Canton of Lucerne, Switzerland in a competitive and specialised industry as a software business where talent can be difficult to identify and retain. There is a risk that id4 may not be able to attract and retain adequately skilled and experienced employees or be able to find effective replacements for individuals who leave.

Where talent markets are tight, this may result in longer recruitment processes and increased cost of hiring. The market for highly skilled technology staff can be competitive, and that does create additional risks if there is a prolonged period for an open vacancy. Since id4 relies on the technological expertise of its employees to maintain and to develop the solutions, the loss of key personnel may lead to a loss of operational knowledge, technology capabilities, key partner and customer relationships, as well as delays in the development, launch and commercialisation of new solutions.

10

Supplier risk

Appway

Appway provides underlying technology to id4 and is recognized as one of the best workflow technology providers for Wealth Managers. Appway’s core strategy is to sell its services to Tier 1 and Tier 2 banks and to provide consulting services to develop and implement tailored and large scale CLM solutions. There is a risk that Appway becomes a direct competitor of id4 and seeks to target the same type of clients as id4, small and medium sized financial institutions. Appway has recently completed a VC fundraising round which may make it more likely that it seeks to expand its product offering such that it competes directly with id4. There is a risk that in becoming a competitor, Appway may decide not to provide a licence to id4 in respect of key elements of id4’s platform and technology which id4 would find challenging to replace, at least in the short term.

Reliance on other technology partners

In addition to Appway, id4 relies on a number of other technology partners to enhance its solution offering by, for example, offering electronic signature, and customer screening. Despite the fact that id4 is systematically selecting the best technology partners, and it is consistently expanding its partnerships with other solution providers, there is a risk that some of these partners cease to collaborate with id4 or cease doing business. There is also a risk id4 does not select, maintain and manage strong relationships with its partners. These factors may result in lower new sales volumes or customer upsell which may have an adverse impact on id4’s operating and financial performance.

The relationship with id4 partners is governed by robust SLAs however there is still a risk these partners may provide poor support or ancillary services to end customers, which may negatively impact id4’s reputation and have an adverse impact on the financial performance of id4.

Technology risk

Data breaches and unauthorized access to customer data (cybersecurity)

id4’s applications involve the processing and the cloud hosting and storage of customers’ information, including confidential and personal information of individuals. There is a risk, particularly in relation to cloud-based applications, that security breaches and incidents could result in potential enforcement action and monetary fines from data protection authorities, litigation by customers, termination of customer contracts, potential indemnity obligations and potential remediation costs, which could materially impact id4’s financial and operating performance and financial condition. The occurrence of such security breaches or incidents, or the perception that one has occurred, could also result in a loss of customer confidence in the security of id4’s solutions.

There is no guarantee that id4 will be able to prevent or rectify any such security breaches or incidents that may occur, or that insurance will be adequate to cover potential financial exposures for one or more of these circumstances, or that the successful assertion of one or more large claims against such cover could compromise the availability and cost of such cover in the future

Risks associated with failure of information technology (“IT”) systems

As a Software as a Service provider, id4 is dependent on technology to create a reputation for serving its customer-base. As a result, any weakness in id4’s IT systems, including online platforms, or other operational processes, could have an adverse effect on its ability to operate its businesses and meet customer needs. Although id4 maintains disaster recovery and business continuity contingency plans in relation to its business, incidents resulting in interruptions, delays, the loss or corruption of data or the cessation of systems can still occur. id4 may periodically upgrade its existing IT systems, and problems implementing any such upgrades may lead to delays or loss of service to its customers, as well as an interruption to its business, which could expose id4 to potential liability, which could impair id4’s financial position. If not promptly resolved, a technology failure could also impair id4’s reputation, business, and results of its operations.

Business risk

Strategic risk

id4 operates in a sector that has attracted vast sums of investment over the past few years and it is therefore competing against a number of emerging SaaS providers across multiple solutions and markets. New competitors may develop in the future, or existing competitors may enhance their ability to compete with id4, including for example, by improving their ability to develop true nocode development solutions. Many of id4’s competitors will have significantly more financial and operational resources than id4 and currently have, or may develop, broader distribution relationships with sales partners and customers. The markets in which id4 operates are evolving and fragmented across specific use cases or applications and may become increasingly competitive, in particular:

  • competitors could increase their market share through aggressive marketing campaigns, product research and development, strategic alliances with industry bodies, favourable distribution partnerships, price discounting or acquisitions;

11

  • id4 may fail to anticipate and respond to changing opportunities, technology, standards or customer requirements as quickly as id4’s competitors;

  • competitors may develop new solutions to improve their competitive positioning relative to id4 by increasing the number of products or applications they offer. This could also mean that other software providers could expand their focus to target the same customers that id4 currently targets.

Operational risk

id4’s ability to retain existing customers and acquire new customers, as well as expand its customers’ level of usage of id4 solutions, depends on many factors including each customer’s perception of the functionality, reliability, cost-effectiveness, pricing, customer support and value compared to competing solutions. This may also be the result of id4 failing to maintain its current service culture, for example, by failing to listen to its customers, and not developing applications or providing software solutions that satisfy customer requirements.

id4’s ability to retain customers and attract new customers depends on ongoing growth in demand from target segments (such as Brokers, Independent Financial Advisers and Banks) and, in part, on the creation, implementation of new solutions that are appropriate for id4’s business model and that become profitable. id4’s ability to develop, implement and realise the benefit of new solutions is subject to uncertainties and risks, including ensuring id4 has adequate business and systems processes, determining appropriate pricing, assessing opportunity costs and planning for internal staffing and infrastructure needs.

FX risk

The functional currency of the Company is Sterling, as the currency which most affects the Enlarged Group’s revenue and costs. However, due to the geographic area of operations where the Enlarged Group is and intends to be present, foreign currency transactions are and will be present. id4 trades in both Euros and Swiss Francs in relation to its European customers and suppliers. The Company reports its results in Sterling. Consequently, the presentation of the financial statements may be materially affected by movements in foreign exchange rates, particularly the Sterling cross rates. At the Enlarged Group’s stage of development, the Company believes the cost of hedging such risks outweighs the benefits of the hedges. The Company may seek to alter this strategy in the future, but it may not be able to put such hedges in place to prevent the Enlarged Group suffering losses due to foreign exchange movements.

Compliance risk

Data breach

The Enlarged Group’s business is subject to regulation and legislation in the countries in which it operates including, but not limited to data protection. Inadvertent or deliberate breaches of these rules by the Enlarged Group could result in legal or regulatory action being taken against it. The Enlarged Group must ensure on-going compliance with various data protection laws, including the UK’s Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 and the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) (“ GDPR ”). The Enlarged Group is under an obligation to keep securely the private and personal data that it holds, including that of its employees and data from marketing campaigns. There is an inherent risk such data could be processed in a manner which is in direct breach of the relevant data protection legislation, the consequence of which may not only be a potentially significant fine and litigation but may also result in damage to the Enlarged Group’s reputation further impacting the Enlarged Group’s revenue and prospects.

Compliance to law and regulations

Whilst the Enlarged Group has policies and procedures in place, including vetting procedures and technology to enable compliance with laws and regulations, there is no guarantee that the Enlarged Group will be able to fully comply with the laws and regulations in each country it operates in or with its contractual obligations. Failure by the Enlarged Group to adhere to rules and regulations could result in legal or regulatory action and/or result in a claim being made against the Enlarged Group by various customers or impacted data subjects, which alone or in combination could have a significant adverse impact on the Enlarged Group and its reputation and/or prospects.

Compliance costs of Listing

The costs to the Company of complying with the continuing obligations under the Listing Rules, Prospectus Regulation Rules and Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules often prove financially significant for companies of the Enlarged Group’s size. The Company’s listing might be cancelled if the Company fails to comply with its continuing obligations under the Listing Rules.

Risks associated with the Company being incorporated in the British Virgin Islands

British Virgin Islands Company Law

The Company is incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. As a result, the rights of the Shareholders will be governed by the laws of the British Virgin Islands and the Memorandum and Articles. The laws of the British Virgin Islands relating to the protection of the

12

interests of minority shareholders differ in some respects from those established under statutes or judicial precedent in existence in England. Such differences may mean that the Company’s minority shareholders may have less protection than they would have under English law.

Set out below is a description of the principal relevant differences between companies incorporated in England and the British Virgin Islands:

  • Pre-emptive rights: Shareholders do not have statutory pre-emption rights under the BVI Companies Act over further issues of shares of the Company. Certain restrictions on the ability of the Directors to allot Ordinary Shares are contained in the Articles, which may be amended by resolution of the Directors or the Shareholders.

  • Takeovers: the BVI Companies Act does not contain provisions similar to those in the City Code which, inter alia, oblige a person or persons acquiring at least 30 per cent of voting rights in a company to which the City Code applies to make an offer to acquire the remainder of the shares in such company. The Articles incorporate provisions similar to those contained in Rule 9 of the City Code, but may be amended by resolution of the Directors or the Shareholders

Shareholder Rights under British Virgin Islands law than under United Kingdom law

The Company’s corporate affairs are governed by the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the BVI Companies Act and the common law of the British Virgin Islands. The rights of Shareholders to take action against the Directors, the rights of Shareholders to institute actions and the fiduciary responsibilities of Directors under British Virgin Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the British Virgin Islands. The common law of the British Virgin Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the British Virgin Islands as well as from English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the British Virgin Islands. The rights of Shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of Directors under British Virgin Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions. In particular, the British Virgin Islands has a less developed body of corporate laws than the United Kingdom. The Company is organised under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. As a result, a Shareholder may not be able to enforce a judgment against the Company or some or all of the Directors and executive officers outside the British Virgin Islands. It may not be possible for a Shareholder to effect service of process upon the Directors and executive officers within the Shareholder’s country of residence or to enforce against the Directors and executive officers judgments of courts of the Shareholder’s country of residence based on civil liabilities under that country’s securities laws. There can be no assurance that a Shareholder will be able to enforce any judgments in civil and commercial matters against the Directors or executive officers who are residents of countries other than those in which judgment is made.

Tax risk

Changes in tax law and practice may reduce any net returns for investors

The tax treatment of Shareholders, any special purpose vehicle that the Company may establish and any company which the Company may acquire are all subject to changes in tax laws or practices in the British Virgin Islands or any other relevant jurisdiction. Any change may reduce any net return derived by investors from a shareholding in the Company.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to make returns for Shareholders in a tax-efficient manner

It is intended that the Company, including following the Acquisition, will operate with a view to maximise returns for Shareholders in as fiscally efficient a manner as is practicable. The Company has made certain assumptions regarding taxation. However, if these assumptions are not correct, taxes may be imposed with respect to the Company’s assets, or the Company may be subject to tax on its income, profits, gains or distributions (either on a liquidation and dissolution or otherwise) in a particular jurisdiction or jurisdictions in excess of taxes that were anticipated. This could alter the post-tax returns for Shareholders (or Shareholders in certain jurisdictions). The level of return for Shareholders may also be adversely affected. Any change in laws or tax authority practices could also adversely affect any post-tax returns of capital to Shareholders or payments of dividends (if any, which the Company does not envisage the payment of, at least in the short to medium term). In addition, the Company may incur costs in taking steps to mitigate any such adverse effect on the post-tax returns for Shareholders.

RISKS RELATING TO THE ORDINARY SHARES

The Standard Listing of the Ordinary Shares will afford investors a lower level of regulatory protection than a Premium Listing

Application will be made for the Ordinary Shares to be admitted to a standard listing segment on the Official List.

A Standard Listing affords shareholders in the Company a lower level of regulatory protection than that afforded to investors in a company with a Premium Listing, which is subject to additional obligations under the Listing Rules. A Standard Listing will not permit the Company to gain a FTSE indexation, which may impact the valuation of the Ordinary Shares.

13

Future issues of Ordinary Shares could be dilutive

Any issue of Ordinary Shares in the future may dilute the interests of Shareholders and could impact upon the price of the Ordinary Shares.

The Company has previously issued a number of warrants and options and intends to issue further warrants in connection with the Placing. The exercise of the warrants and or options would result in a dilution of Shareholders’ interests if the prevailing share price per Ordinary Share exceeds the subscription price payable on the exercise of a warrant or option at the relevant time.

Market for the Ordinary Shares

Prior to Suspension, there was a limited market for the Ordinary Shares. The price of the Ordinary Shares after Admission may also vary due to a number of factors, including but not limited to, general economic conditions and forecasts, the Enlarged Group’s general business condition and the release of its financial reports. Although the Company’s current intention is that its securities should continue to trade on the London Stock Exchange, it cannot assure investors that it will always do so. In addition, an active trading market for the Ordinary Shares may not develop or, if developed, may not be maintained. Investors may be unable to sell their Ordinary Shares unless a market can be established and maintained, and if the Company subsequently obtains a listing on an exchange in addition to, or in lieu of, the London Stock Exchange, the level of liquidity of the Ordinary Shares may decline.

The Company may not pay dividends

Dividend payments on the Ordinary Shares are not guaranteed and the Company does not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. To the extent the Company intends to pay dividends on the Ordinary Shares, it will pay such dividends at such times (if any) and in such amounts (if any) as the Board determines appropriate and in accordance with applicable law. Payments of such dividends will be dependent on performance of the Company’s business. The Company can therefore give no assurance that it will be able to pay dividends going forward or as to the amount of such dividends, if any. The Company does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

Fluctuations and volatility in the price of Ordinary Shares

Stock markets have from time to time experienced severe price and volume fluctuations, a recurrence of which could adversely affect the market price for the Ordinary Shares. The market price of the Ordinary Shares may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to many factors, some specific to the Company and some which affect listed companies generally, including variations in the operating results of the Company, divergence in financial results from analysts’ expectations, changes in earnings estimates by stock market analysts, general economic, political or regulatory conditions, overall market or sector sentiment, legislative changes in the Company’s sector and other events and factors outside of the Company’s control.

Investors may not be able to realise returns on their investment in Ordinary Shares within a period that they would consider to be reasonable

Investments in Ordinary Shares may be relatively illiquid. There may be a limited number of Shareholders and this factor may contribute both to infrequent trading in the Ordinary Shares on the London Stock Exchange and to volatile Ordinary Share price movements. Investors should not expect that they will necessarily be able to realise their investment in Ordinary Shares within a period that they would regard as reasonable. Accordingly, the Ordinary Shares may not be suitable for short-term investment. Admission should not be taken as implying that there will be an active trading market for the Ordinary Shares. Even if an active trading market develops, the market price for the Ordinary Shares may fall below the issue price.

Information to Distributors

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements of Chapter 3 of the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the “ UK Product Governance Requirements ”), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any “manufacturer” (for the purposes of the UK Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Placing Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that the Placing Shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each defined in the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all permitted distribution channels (the “ Target Market Assessment ”). Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, “distributors” (for the purposes of the UK Product Governance Requirements) should note that: the price of the Placing Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the Placing Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the Placing Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Offer. Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, Peterhouse will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of Chapters 9A or 10A respectively of the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the Ordinary Shares.

Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own Target Market Assessment in respect of the Ordinary Shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.

Selling Restrictions

No action has been or will be taken in any jurisdiction that would permit a public offering of the Ordinary Shares, or possession or distribution of this Document or any other offering material in any country or jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required. Accordingly, the Ordinary Shares may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, and neither this Document nor any other offering material or advertisement in connection with the Ordinary Shares may be distributed or published in or from any country or jurisdiction except in circumstances that will result in compliance with any and all applicable rules and regulations of any such country or jurisdiction. Persons into whose possession this Document comes should inform themselves about and observe any restrictions on the distribution of this Document and the offer of Ordinary Shares contained in this Document. Any failure to comply with these restrictions may constitute a violation of securities laws of any such jurisdiction. This Document does not constitute an offer to subscribe for or purchase any of the Ordinary Shares to any person in any jurisdiction to whom it is unlawful to make such offer of solicitation in such jurisdiction.

United States

Subject to certain exceptions, the Ordinary Shares may not be offered, sold, resold, transferred or distributed, directly or indirectly, within, into or in the United States or to or for the account or benefit of persons in the United States.

The Ordinary Shares may not be taken up, offered, sold, resold, transferred, or distributed, directly or indirectly within, into or in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction that is not subject to, the registration requirements of the US Securities Act. There will be no public offer in the United States.

16

The Ordinary Shares have not been approved or disapproved by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, any State securities commission in the United States or another US regulatory authority, nor have any of the foregoing authorities passed comment upon or endorsed the merits of the Placing or adequacy of this Document. Any representations to the contrary is a criminal offence in the United States.

United Kingdom

This Document comprises a prospectus relating to the Company prepared in accordance with the Prospectus Regulation Rules and approved by the FCA under section 87A of FSMA. This Document has been filed with the FCA and made available to the public in accordance with Rule 3.2 of the Prospectus Regulation Rules.

European Economic Area

Pursuant to the EU Prospectus Regulation, an offer to the public of the Ordinary Shares may only be made once the prospectus has been approved by a competent authority in an EEA Member State in accordance with the EU Prospectus Regulation.

For any EEA Member State an offer to the public in that EEA Member State of any Ordinary Shares may only be made at any time under the following exemptions under the EU Prospectus Regulation, if they have been implemented in that EEA Member State:

  • to any legal entity which is a Qualified Investor, within the meaning of Article 2 (e) of the EU Prospectus Regulation;

  • to fewer than 150 natural or legal persons (other than Qualified Investors, within the meaning of Article 2 (e) of the EU Prospectus Regulation) in such EEA Member State subject to obtaining prior consent of the Company for any such offer; or

  • in any other circumstances falling within Article 1(4) of the EU Prospectus Regulation,

provided that no such offer of Ordinary Shares shall result in a requirement of for the publication by the Company of a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the EU Prospectus Regulation in any EEA Member State and each person who initially acquires Ordinary Shares or to whom any offer is made will be deemed to have represented, warranted and agreed with Peterhouse and the Company that it is a “Qualified Investor” within the meaning of Article 2(e) of the EU Prospectus Regulation.

For the purposes of this provision, the expression an “offer to the public” in relation to any offer of Ordinary Shares in any EEA Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and any Ordinary Shares to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for the Ordinary Shares.

This Document may not be used for, or in connection with, and does not constitute, any offer of Ordinary Shares or an invitation to purchase or subscribe for Ordinary Shares in any EEA Member State in which such offer or invitation would be unlawful.

Forward Looking Statements

This Document includes statements that are, or may be deemed to be, ‘forward looking statements’. In some cases, these forwardlooking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms ‘targets’, ‘believes’, ‘estimates’, ‘anticipates’, ‘expects’, ‘intends’, ‘may’, ‘will’, ‘should’, or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. They appear in a number of places throughout this Document and include statements regarding the intentions, beliefs or current expectations of the Company and the Board concerning, inter alia: (i) the Company’s objective, financing and business strategies, results of operations, financial condition, capital resources, prospects, capital appreciation of the Ordinary Shares and dividends; and (ii) future deal flow and implementation of active management strategies. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. Forwardlooking statements are not guarantees of future performance. The Company’s actual performance, results of operations, financial condition and the development of its financing strategies may differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this Document. In addition, even if the Company’s actual performance, results of operations, financial condition, distributions to Shareholders and the development of its financing strategies are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Document, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods.

17

Prospective investors should carefully review Part II (Risk Factors) of this Document for a discussion of additional factors that could cause the Enlarged Group’s actual results to differ materially, before making an investment decision. For the avoidance of doubt, any explanatory wording contained in the Document which refers to forward looking statements does not in any way qualify the working capital statement set out in paragraph 19 of Part XIV (Additional Information) of this Document.

Forward-looking statements contained in this Document apply only as at the date of this Document. Subject to any obligations under the Listing Rules, the Market Abuse Regulation, the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules and the Prospectus Regulation Rules, the Company undertakes no obligation publicly to update, or review any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

PART IV - SUMMARY OF BVI LAW

The Company was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands as a company limited by shares on 6 May 2020 subject to the BVI Business Companies Act (“ BVI Companies Act ”). Certain provisions of the BVI Companies Act are set out below but this section does not purport to contain all applicable qualifications and exceptions or to be a complete review of all matters of the BVI Companies Act and taxation, which may differ from equivalent provisions in jurisdictions with which interested parties may be more familiar.

A summary of the memorandum and articles of association of the Company is out at paragraph 6 of Part XIV of this Document.

(a) Company operations

The Company is a legal entity in its own right separate from its Shareholders and continues in existence until it is dissolved. The Company has, irrespective of corporate benefit, full capacity to carry on or undertake any business or activity, do any act or enter into any transaction, and for these purposes, full rights, powers and privileges. The Company has the power to carry on business, whether inside or outside of the BVI. The Company has the requisite licences to carry on business.

(b) Share Capital

A BVI company is authorised to issue such number of shares as is specified in its memorandum of association. The shares of a BVI company may be issued with or without par value and a share with par value may be issued in any currency. The par value of a par value share may be a fraction of the smallest denomination of the currency in which it was issued. A share in a BVI company is personal property. A BVI company may issue fractional shares, and a fractional share in a BVI company has the corresponding fractional rights, obligations and liabilities of a whole share of the same class. A BVI company may divide its shares, including issued shares, into a larger number of shares, or combine its shares, including issued shares, into a smaller number of shares provided that a company may not divide its shares if it would cause the maximum number of shares that the company is authorised to issue by its memorandum of association to be exceeded. Where par value shares are divided or combined, the aggregate par value of the new shares must be equal to the aggregate par value of the original shares.

The entry of the name of a person in the register of members of a BVI company as a holder of a share in the company is prima facie evidence that legal title in the share vests in that person. The company may treat the holder of a registered share as the only person entitled to exercise any voting rights attached to the share, receive notices, receive a distribution in respect of the share, and exercise other rights and powers attaching to the share.

The Company is authorised to issue an unlimited number of shares with a par value of $0.001 each.

Each Ordinary Share confers on the holder:

  • i. the right to one (1) vote at a meeting of the members of the Company or on any resolution of the members of the Company;

  • ii. the right to an equal share in any dividend paid by the Company in accordance with the BVI Companies Act; and

  • iii. the right to an equal share in the distribution of the surplus assets of the Company

(c) Purchase of shares and warrants by a company and its subsidiaries

Provided the directors are satisfied, on reasonable grounds, that the Company will, immediately after the purchase of shares, satisfy the solvency test (the “ Solvency Test ”), the directors may, on behalf of the Company purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any of the Company’s own shares for such consideration as they consider fit, and either cancel or hold such shares as treasury shares. For these purposes, the Company satisfies the Solvency Test if (i) the value of the Company’s assets exceeds its liabilities, and (ii) the Company is able to pay its debts as they fall due. The BVI Companies Act does not limit the circumstances in the Company can purchase its warrants or shares of its subsidiaries.

(d) Dividends and distributions

The directors of the Company may, by resolution, authorise a dividend or a distribution by the Company to its shareholders at such time and of such amount, as they think fit if they are satisfied, on reasonable grounds, that the Company will, immediately after the dividend or distribution, satisfy the Solvency Test.

(e) Protection of minorities and shareholders’ suits

British Virgin Islands law permits derivative and representative actions by shareholders. It also permits minority protections such as restraining/compliance orders and oppression, unfair discrimination and unfair prejudice actions.

British Virgin Islands law permits shareholders to bring personal actions against a BVI company.

In addition, a British Virgin Islands court, may, on the application of a shareholder, grant leave to that shareholder to bring proceedings in the name and on behalf of a BVI company, or intervene in proceedings to which the company is a party for the purpose of continuing, defending or discontinuing the proceedings on behalf of the company (a derivative action). In determining whether to grant leave, the BVI court must take the following matters into account:

  • i. whether the shareholder is acting in good faith;

  • ii. whether the derivative action is in the interest of the company taking account of the views of the company’s directors on commercial matters;

  • iii. whether the proceeding are likely to succeed;

  • iv. the costs of the proceedings in relation to the relief likely to be obtained; and

  • v. whether an alternative remedy to the derivative claim is available.

In addition, where a shareholder brings proceedings against a BVI company and other shareholders have the same or substantially the same interest in relation to the proceedings, a British Virgin Islands court may appoint that shareholder to represent all or some of the shareholders having the same interest and may, for that purpose, make such order as it thinks fit, including an order: i. as to the control and conduct of the proceedings; ii. as to the costs of the proceedings; and iii. directing a distribution of any amount ordered to be paid by a defendant in the proceedings among the shareholders represented.

(f) Disposal of assets

Any sale, transfer, lease, exchange or other disposition, other than a mortgage, charge or other encumbrance or the enforcement thereof, of more than 50 per cent in value of the assets of the Company, other than a transfer pursuant to the power described in section 28(3) of the BVI Companies Act, if not made in the usual or regular course of the business carried on by the Company, shall be approved by the directors and authorised by a resolution of the shareholders.

(g) Accounting and auditing requirements

Under the BVI Companies Act, the Company is obliged to keep records and underlying documentation that (i) are sufficient to show and explain the Company’s transactions and (ii) will, at any time, enable the financial position of the Company to be determined with reasonable accuracy. There is no statutory requirement to audit or file annual accounts.

(h) Exchange controls

There is no exchange control legislation under British Virgin Islands law.

(i) Taxation

The Company and all dividends, interest, rents, royalties, compensations and other amounts paid by the Company to persons who are not persons resident in the British Virgin Islands are exempt from the provisions of the Income Tax Act in the British Virgin Islands, and any capital gains realised by persons who are not persons resident in the British Virgin Islands with respect of any shares, debt obligations, or other securities of the Company are exempt from taxation in the British Virgin Islands. No estate, inheritance, succession or gift tax, rate, duty, levy or other charge is payable by persons who are not persons resident in the BVI with respect to any shares, debt obligations or other securities of a BVI business company. There are currently no withholding taxes or exchange control regulations in the British Virgin Islands applicable to the Company or its members.

Shareholders who are not tax resident in the British Virgin Islands will not be subject to any income, withholding or capital gains taxes in the British Virgin Islands, with respect to the shares of the Company owned by them and dividends received on such shares, nor will they be subject to any estate or inheritance taxes in the British Virgin Islands. The Company is required to pay an annual government fee which is determined by reference to the number of shares the Company is authorised to issue. The government fee is currently $1,200 per annum.

(j) Stamp duty on transfers

Provided the Company does not directly or indirectly own, hold or have any interest in land situate in the British Virgin Islands, all instruments relating to transfers of property to or by the Company, all instruments relating to transactions in respect of the shares, debt obligations or other securities of the Company, and all instruments relating to other transactions relating to the business of the Company are exempt from the payment of stamp duty in the British Virgin Islands.

(k) Loans to directors

The BVI Companies Act does not limit the circumstances in which the Company can makes loans to a director of the Company.

21

(l) Inspection of corporate records

Pursuant to the BVI Companies Act, a shareholder of the Company is entitled, on giving written notice to the Company, to inspect the memorandum of association and articles of association of the Company, the register of members, the register of directors and minutes of meetings and resolutions of shareholders, and to make copies of or extracts from such documents and records. The directors may, if they are satisfied that it would be contrary to the company’s interests to allow a shareholder to inspect any document, or part of a document, refuse to permit the shareholder to inspect the document or limit the inspection of the document, including limiting the making of copies or the taking of extracts from the records. The directors shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, notify a shareholder of any exercise of these powers. Where a company fails or refuses to permit a shareholder to inspect a document or permits a shareholder to inspect a document subject to limitations, that shareholder may apply to the British Virgin Islands Court for an order that he should be permitted to inspect the document or to inspect the document without limitation. On an application, the British Virgin Islands Court may make such order as it considers just.

(m) Register of members

The Company is required to maintain a register of members. The entry of the name of a person in the register of members as a holder of a share in the Company is prime facie evidence that legal title in the share vests in that person.

(n) Register directors and officers

The Company is required to maintain a register of directors. The register of directors is prima facie evidence of any matters directed or authorised by the BVI Companies Act to be contained therein.

(o) Winding up

On liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether voluntary or involuntary, or any other distribution of the assets of the Company among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, the holders of shares will be entitled to receive the property of the Company remaining after payment of all outstanding debts on a pro rata basis.

(p) Take-overs

The BVI Companies Act does not contain provisions similar to those in the City Code which, inter alia, oblige a person or persons acquiring at least 30 per cent of voting rights in a company to which the City Code applies to make an offer to acquire the remainder of the shares in such company. The Articles incorporate provisions similar to those contained in Rule 9 of the City Code, but may be amended by a special resolution of the Shareholders.

(q) Merger and consolidation

The BVI has a statutory merger and consolidation regime as set out in the BVI Companies Act. Generally, the merger or consolidation of a BVI company requires approval by both its shareholders and its board of directors. However, a BVI parent company may merge with one or more BVI subsidiaries without shareholder approval. Shareholders dissenting from a merger are entitled to payment of the fair value of their shares unless the BVI company is the surviving company and the shareholders continue to hold the same or similar shares in the surviving company. BVI law permits BVI companies to merge with companies incorporated outside the BVI, provided the merger is lawful under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the non-BVI company is incorporated.

Under BVI law, a merger or consolidation may take the form of one or more companies merging into, and being subsumed by, another company (being the surviving company) or the consolidation of two or more companies into, and being subsumed by, a new company. In either case, with effect from the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the surviving company or the new consolidated company assumes all of the assets and liabilities of the other entity or entities by operation of law and the other constituent entities cease to exist.

Under BVI law, a merger can result in the compulsory cancellation of a shareholder’s shares, although in such circumstances a shareholder will have the right to dissent and demand fair value for its shares in cash. In the event that a shareholder dissents and the company and shareholder are unable to agree on the price to be paid for the shares, the BVI Companies Act sets out a mechanism whereby the shareholder and the BVI company may each appoint an appraiser, who will together appoint a third appraiser and all three appraisers have the power to determine the fair value of the shares owned by the dissenting shareholder. Pursuant to the BVI Companies Act, the determination of the three appraisers shall be binding on the BVI company and the dissenting shareholder for all purposes.

(r) Redemption of minority shares

The BVI Companies Act provides that, subject to its memorandum and articles of association, shareholders holding 90% or more of all the voting shares in a BVI company may instruct the BVI company to redeem the shares of the remaining shareholders. The BVI company is then required to redeem the shares of the minority shareholders, whether or not the shares are by their terms redeemable. The BVI company must notify the minority shareholders in writing of the redemption price to be paid for the shares and the manner in which the redemption is to be effected. In the event that a shareholder whose shares are being redeemed

22

objects to the redemption price to be paid and the company and shareholder are unable to agree the redemption amount payable, the BVI Companies Act sets out a mechanism whereby the shareholder and the BVI company may each appoint an appraiser, who will together appoint a third appraiser, and all three appraisers will have the power to determine the fair value of the shares to be compulsorily redeemed. Pursuant to the BVI Companies Act, the determination of the three appraisers shall be binding on the BVI company and the shareholder for all purposes.

(s) Indemnification

The Company’s memorandum and articles of association provide that the Company may indemnify against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings any person who (a) is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director of the Company, or (b) is or was, at the request of the Company, serving as a director of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another company or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, provided that the person acted honestly and in good faith and in what he believed to be in the best interests of the Company and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

PART VIII - LETTER FROM INDEPENDENT NONEXECUTIVE DIRECTORS

To the holders of Existing Ordinary Shares

13 December 2021

Dear Shareholder,

Acquisition of the entire issued share capital of id4

1. INTRODUCTION

The Company has conditionally agreed to acquire the entire issued share capital of id4, to be satisfied by the issue and allotment to the Sellers of the Consideration Shares. The issue of Initial Consideration Shares to the Sellers will represent 42.45 per cent. of the Enlarged Share Capital at Admission. The Acquisition constitutes a Reverse Takeover under the Listing Rules as it will result in a fundamental change in the business of the Company. In accordance with Listing Rule 5.6.19G, the FCA is expected to cancel the listing of the Existing Ordinary Shares immediately before 8.00 a.m. (London time) on 17 December 2021. Applications will be made for the Existing Ordinary Shares to be re-admitted and the Initial Consideration Shares to be admitted to the standard listing segment of the Official List in accordance with Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and to trading on the Main Market. The Acquisition is conditional upon Re-admission. Subject to the Acquisition Agreement becoming unconditional (save as to Admission), it is expected that Re-Admission will become effective at 8.00 a.m. (London time) on 17 December 2021. Following Admission, the Enlarged Group will comprise the Company and id4 as described at paragraph 6 of this Part VIII of the Document.

In addition, the Company is undertaking a cash placing to raise £2,175,000 by the issue of the Placing Shares in order to enable the Enlarged Group to fulfil its objectives and strategy, including amongst other things, recruitment of staff in sales, customer relationship management, product development, finance and administrative roles. The net proceeds are intended to be used to accelerate sales growth and expand geographic coverage. Peterhouse will undertake the Placing pursuant to the Broker Agreement and the Placing Letters. The Placing Shares subscribed for in the Placing at the Placing Price will represent approximately 34.62 per cent. of the Enlarged Issued Share Capital. The Placing is conditional, inter alia, on the Acquisition Agreement becoming unconditional (save as to Admission).

The purpose of this Document is to explain the background to and reasons for the Acquisition and to demonstrate how it aligns with the Company’s strategy and why the Directors believe that the Acquisition and Placing are in the best interests of the Company and its Existing Shareholders.

2. OVERVIEW AND REASONS FOR THE ACQUISITION

The Company was incorporated as a company limited by shares under the laws of the British Virgin Islands on 6 May 2020 under the BVI Companies Act with the name Anemoi International Ltd. The Company’s registered number is 2035767. The Company was formed as a special purpose acquisition company to identify and complete an acquisition of a company or target business.

The Company was admitted to the standard listing segment of the Official List in accordance with Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and to trading on the Main Market on 26 October 2020. The Company raised a total of US$1,195,000 (net of expenses) in conjunction with the Listing and the formation of the Company.

3. ACQUISITION STRUCTURE AND RELATIONSHIP OF THE TARGET AND THE COMPANY WITH THALASSA

As at the date of this Prospectus, Thalassa has a 5.5% shareholding in the Company. Thalassa was also issued with Convertible Loan Notes in the sum of US$350,000 pursuant to the Convertible Loan Note Instrument. Conditional on Admission, Thalassa and the Company have agreed that the amount drawn down on this note plus accrued interest at Admission, being the sum of $334,956 will be converted into 334,956 Class A Preference Shares in the share capital of the Company with the balance of the Convertible Loan Notes being retired. Certain financial, legal and compliance services are provided by employees of Thalassa to the Company pursuant to the Thalassa Services Agreement, which will be terminated on Admission. Mr Duncan Soukup is the Executive Chairman of each of the Company and Thalassa and, immediately prior to Admission, is beneficially interested in 19.51% of the issued share capital of the Company (excluding his indirect interest through his shareholding in Thalassa) and 30.20% of the issued share capital of Thalassa.

id4 is an 84% owned subsidiary of Apeiron Holdings (BVI) Ltd, with the remaining 16% being owned by Sebastien Lalande and Emmanuel Nay, the founders of id4, in equal proportions. Apeiron Holdings (BVI) Ltd is a company registered in the British Virgin Island which in turn is a wholly owned subsidiary of Thalassa.

28

Please refer to the paragraph headed “Conflicts of Interest” at paragraph 11 of this Part VIII of the Document for further detail on the relationship between Thalassa and the Company. Please refer to paragraph 11.4 of Part XIV of the Document in relation to the Convertible Loan Instrument and paragraph 20.4 of Part XIV of the Document in relation to the Thalassa Services Agreement.

Following Admission, the Enlarged Group will comprise the Company and id4. The Company will act as the holding company of the Enlarged Group. The Enlarged Group’s business will focus on the fulfilment of the strategy detailed in the section headed ‘Strategy and Business Model of id4’ at paragraph 8 of this Part VIII of this Prospectus.

4. THE ACQUISITION AGREEMENT

The Company has conditionally agreed to acquire the entire issued share capital of id4 in exchange for the issue of the Consideration Shares to the Sellers. Further terms of the proposed Acquisition are set out in paragraph 20.5 of Part XIV of this Prospectus. Save for the proposed Acquisition, there are no investments in progress and there are no further investments on which the Directors have already made firm commitments which are significant to the Company. The proposed acquisition constitutes a Reverse Takeover under the Listing Rules since, inter alia, in substance it results in a fundamental change in the business of the Company. In accordance with Listing Rule 5.6.19G, the FCA is expected to cancel the listing of the Existing Ordinary Shares immediately before 8.00 a.m. (London time) on 17 December 2021. Applications will be made for the Existing Ordinary Shares to be re-admitted and the Initial Consideration Shares to be admitted to the standard listing segment of the Official List in accordance with Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and to trading on the Main Market. It is expected that Re-Admission will become effective at 8.00 a.m. (London time) on 17 December 2021. On Completion, id4 will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

6. GROUP STRUCTURE

Following Admission, id4 will become the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and id4 itself has no subsidiaries.

7. HISTORY OF id4

The entity which is being acquired by the Company was formed as part of the merger of id4 AG (“Former id4”) with and into its parent, Apeiron Holdings AG, on 14 September 2021. Former id4 was incorporated and registered in the Canton of Lucerne in Switzerland in April 2019 whilst Apeiron Holdings AG was incorporated and registered in December 2018. Following the merger, Apeiron Holdings AG was renamed id4 AG.

In June 2019, the Former id4 contracted its first client, Lemania Pension Hub, to deliver a bespoke end-to-end client onboarding solution on their CLM4Pension platform. The Former id4 successfully integrated the API with their screening partner, Polixis, and also completed the integration of a cross-border solution with their new technology partner, Indigita.

In December 2019, the Former id4 successfully completed its seed funding round and was acquired by Thalassa. In November 2019, the Former id4 released the CLM4Pension v1.0 static solution, the integration of the API with Telesign and went live with their first customer, Lemania Pension Hub.

In January 2020, the Former id4 released CLM platform v1.0 for dynamic screens and launched its first trial with a Swiss Private Bank on CLM platform.

In February 2020, the Former id4 won the Best Compliance Solution Award at the WealthBriefing Swiss Awards and was referenced in the RegTech 100 company directory worldwide. The Former id4 successfully integrated the API of Onfido, its technology partner for online identification and online document verification.

In July 2020, the Former id4 launched its new modular strategy for the CLM platform with the introduction of new off-theshelf solutions including Identification & Verification (ID&V), Client Due Diligence (CDD), Client Space, and Customer Lifecycle Management full suite.

8. STRATEGY AND BUSINESS MODEL OF id4

Strategy overview

id4 aims to create a community of financial institutions which are enabled to manage regulations as a utility and harvest clientrelated data for business growth. id4 seeks to create a solution as a service, with a continuously updated set of rules and a marketplace, offering in one solution, Client Data Management and Client Lifecycle Management without the usual hurdles of IT development, regression, and testing.

id4 believes its solutions can be differentiated because its software is:-

  • Off-the-shelf

  • Fully customisable without programming

  • Modular

  • Pre-configured with tax and client lifecycle rules

  • Ready-to-use with no IT development and testing.

The key assumptions on which id4’s strategic objectives and business plan are based are: (a) that id4 is able to address the market needs which its management team have assessed as being the current and future AML/KYC regulatory environment requiring small and medium sized financial institutions to find innovative and cost effective solutions to meet ever-increasing regulatory requirements; and (b) that id4’s off-the-shelf solution in the view of id4’s management team is innovative, cost-effective and will be attractive to that small and medium sized market. Id4’s management believe that the key sensitivity in the business plan is the assumed level of take up by customers of id4’s products and the pace at which take up occurs. id4 is a founder-led business and therefore is dependent on the continued involvement of the senior management team of Sebastien Lalande, Emmanuel Nay and Rémy Schimmel. As at the date of this Prospectus, id4 is not dependent on any assets which it does not own in order to pursue its business plan and strategic objectives, but relies on a number of technology partners as set out below under “Key Suppliers and technology partners”.

In the two years following Admission:

  • id4 expects its sales focus to be to actively target customers in its core target markets of Switzerland and the United Kingdom and to passively target other European countries, for example Luxembourg and Germany on an opportunistic basis; and

  • id4 does not expect to launch any new products, rather its strategy is to focus on improving its current solution and ensure that it keeps up with the pace of regulatory change in the AML and KYC compliance sector. id4 will also seek to develop and expand its partner network to reduce dependency on existing partners.

id4’s market

In 2020, financial institutions and individuals were in receipt of financial penalties and enforcement actions totalling $10.6 billion as a result of compliance failure. Penalties related to anti-money laundering (AML) alone made up 99% of this total, at $10.5 billion (Fenergo 2020 Global Fines Report).

Since the financial crisis in 2008, an estimated $46.6 billion in enforcement actions has been levied against financial institutions and individuals for non-compliance with AML, sanctions, data privacy and MiFID obligations (Fenergo 2020 Global Fines Report).

The projected total cost for financial crime compliance in 2020 is expected to reach $39.9 billion in the UK alone and $213.9 billion globally, of which 40% of the costs are attributed to technology (Lexis Nexis 2021 True Cost of FCC Survey Report). On average, financial institutions are expecting compliance operation costs to increase by single-to-low double-digits over the next year (Lexis Nexis 2021 True Cost of FCC Survey Report).

Covid-19 has permanently changed the way Wealth Managers deliver advice and serve their clients. According to a recent report, to drive outperformance over the next 5 years, firms will need to increase spending on technology investments, strategically cut costs, build differentiated product offerings and consider inorganic opportunities (Morgan Stanley & Oliver Wyman, Wealth Management Global, Blue Paper, 2020).

30

In 2020, the financial crime compliance key challenges remain UBO and PEP identification, customer risk profiling and KYC for onboarding (Lexis Nexis 2021 True Cost of FCC Survey Report).

69% of the firms in the UK expect cost of time and resource devoted to conduct risk to increase in the next 12 months, of which 25% expect this to increase significantly (Cost of Compliance 2020 Survey Thomson Reuters).

Corporates doubling down on FinTech and RegTech investment due to Covid-19

Given the challenges associated with COVID-19, financial services companies globally are facing increasing pressure to reduce costs. At the same time, many are embracing digital business models and digital solutions in order to service their customers remotely, solutions that present new risks that companies must manage. This is driving increasing interest in regtech as financial institutions look to enhance their ability to manage regulatory compliance without increasing their structural costs. (KPMG Pulse of FinTech H1 2020).

The financial services technology industry is expected to grow rapidly in 2021, as financial institutions focus on digital transformation and boost their approach to both compliance obligations and effectively addressing financial crime risk. In response to the pandemic and the resulting social distancing measures introduced across the globe, many regulators including the FCA in the UK, the HKMA, MAS and AUSTRAC have endorsed the use of technology solutions to ensure business continuity throughout the pandemic (Fenergo 2020 Global Fines Report).

In 2021, it is expected that the financial services technology industry will continue to grow rapidly, as financial institutions focus on digital transformation and boost their approach to both compliance obligations and effectively addressing financial crime risk (Cost of Compliance 2020 Survey Thomson Reuters).

id4’s target customers

id4 plans to target small and medium-size Private Banks (PBs), External Asset Managers (EAMs), Insurance companies and new entrants (e.g. challenger banks, technology disruptors) in Switzerland and in the United Kingdom (UK) in the first instance, through direct and indirect distribution channels.

Other opportunities coming from strategic partners and stakeholders might be considered on an opportunistic basis with prior Board approval.

id4’s target jurisdictions

Switzerland

External Asset Managers (EAMs) - there are approximately 2,500 EAMs in Switzerland with an estimated £280bn AuM mainly concentrated in Geneva (ranked 8th worldwide) and Zurich (ranked 4th worldwide). Small and medium sized EAMs account for more 95% of the total number of EAMs.

Private Banks (PBs) - there are circa 96 PBs in Switzerland with an estimated CHF 2tn AuM of which small and medium sized PBs account for 82% of the market.

United Kingdom

There are circa 5,500 Financial Advisors (FAs) in the UK with a combined estimated £400-500bn AuM of which the small and medium size segment account for more than 90% of the total number of FAs.

Competitive landscape

CLM is a competitive and developing industry. Typically, there are three types of market players. There are “pure” CLM solution providers like ITSMF, Appway and Fenergo. There are AML solution providers offering KYC utility such as screening, AML risk assessment (e.g. KYC Spider, Deloitte) and there are “other” vendors from different markets (e.g. CRM, BPM, & Digital platforms) with enriched CLM features like NexJ, WDX and Crealogix.

  • “Pure” and “other” competitors are mainly focused on Tier 1 and Tier 2 banks and consequently their product offering is not adapted to small and medium sized financial institutions due to complexity and cost.

  • AML solution providers are competing with id4 with simple, cost-effective, out-of-the-box tools but the management believes that the limited scope of their solutions is only suitable for clients looking to simplify a part of their KYC processes without seeking end-to-end operational efficiency.

id4’s competitive advantages

  • In today’s market, the features of the software act as key differentiators between the market players. id4’s CLM solution is connected with third party systems (e.g. online identification) and with a completely different implementation model (e.g. off-the-shelf) and maintenance model (e.g. mutualised codes with regular and automatic upgrades).

31

  • id4’s implementation model is unique in the sense that the software is off-the-shelf and pre-parameterized so it can be implemented instantly as a standalone software without any IT development activities. Once implemented, the software is ready to use and can be tailored to the client’s specific requirements. For example, the screens or the onboarding steps and gates can be adapted to the clients’ organisational requirements. Modular by design, id4’s solutions allow activation of additional features when customers need them.

  • “Pure” CLM and “other” vendors. id4 believes that its competitors tend to have standard implementation models via IT programmes which are lengthy, expensive and resource intensive with a high degree of reliance on their IT department leading to higher complexity and resource intensive maintenance activities.

  • Some competitors (e.g. Fenergo and Appian) are introducing a “Low Code” client implementation approach resulting in a reduction to the implementation time, but which can continue to be delivered via a standard IT project governance. The development of “Low Code” is being monitored on an ongoing basis by id4. However, id4’s management does not believe Low Code constitutes a threat to id4 solutions at this point in time.

id4 forecasts the following 3 key competitive trends:

  • “Low code” CLM solutions - “Low code” solutions should continue to simplify further the development and implementation of client solutions but, in the opinion of id4’s management, not enough to compete with the “no code” approach provided by id4.

  • Cloud-based solutions (i.e. SaaS) - increased interest for remote account opening (COVID-19). Due to COVID-19 lockdowns, financial institutions started to consider cloud-based tools to ensure business continuity and to improve efficiency. For instance Fenergo, one of top CLM vendors, reported 70% of its client implementations since January 2020 are cloud-based compared to zero two years ago.

  • Off-the-shelf solutions - a few vendors started to release SaaS off-the-shelf solutions. Despite similar functionalities, these solutions are not modular, not customisable (e.g. Orca AG). id4 expects this trend to continue and is continuously monitoring these developments.

In 2021, id4 expects the above trends to continue with new emerging trends such as:

  • a combination of CRM & CLM (e.g. Appway just released a connector with Salesforce).

  • CLM providers enhancing their service offering by developing transaction monitoring software which complements the CLM modules and is a natural development given the increasing demand for dynamic screening.

Key Supplier and technology partners

Appway provides the underlying platform and technology to id4 and is recognized as one of the leading CLM technology providers for Wealth Managers. Appway’s core strategy is to sell its services to Tier 1 and Tier 2 banks and to provide consulting services to develop and implement ad-hoc CLM solutions.

In general, banks have different requirements in terms of CLM depending on their size and scale which is why id4’s management believes that Appway is not targeting small and medium size private banks. For example, large banks will tend to require tailored solutions adapted to their systems, processes and people whereas smaller banks will tend to prefer solutions which offer a balanced compromise between cost and content. Since mid-2020, Appway has begun to productize its offering. The id4 management’s understanding is that Appway thereby intends to offer preconfigured and interoperable components that allow faster implementation of specialized cloud applications (low code approach).

The first application launched in 2021 is dedicated to the U.S. brokerage market. New applications are expected to follow for other customer segments and regions. id’s management does not expect that Appway’s new approach is expected to compete with id4 in the mid-sized market segment as Appway is increasing its licensing fees to compensate for lower implementation revenues. However, id4’s management believes that there is a risk that Appway will also increase its prices for partners such as id4. This risk is being closely monitored by id4 management and remediation planned in the short to medium term.

id4 relies on various technology partners to enhance its offering and to offer solutions in, for example, online identification, document verification and client screening. Each of id4’s technology partners is carefully selected and id4 intends to integrate more technology providers in order to reduce its dependency on a particular service. For example, id4 is using two technology partners for client screening, Polixis and Worldcheck Refinitiv. The plan is to consistently identify emerging and established technology partners and to integrate them into id4’s solutions via, amongst others, APIs in order to reduce the dependency on one particular partner and to consistently enhance the solution offering and user experience.

Products

id4 has developed a set of generic algorithms which constitute the nucleus of the software. The core software is composed of an adaptive end user interface and features including a complete integrated ecosystem of best-in-class service providers in the field of Client Lifecycle Management.

32

id4’s management believes that the modules of the software can be customized using a set of pre-defined parameters, having the following benefits:

  • reduction in development and maintenance activities;

  • customisation of the modules in line with the clients’ specific requirements; and

  • quick implementation of software updates to reflect strategic or regulatory changes. The change of parameters is actioned within the central console called the SPEC (Solution Parameters Engine and Configurator).

The solution offered to the client is preconfigured with a set of standard parameters. Each client can easily adapt the solution through the SPEC without any code programming. The set of standard parameters is a mix of best practices and experiences developed by the founders over the years in compliance, tax, and regulatory which are regularly reviewed and validated by external subject matter experts.

Key applicable regulation

The principal regulation which the Enlarged Group will have to comply with in conducting its business in the UK is the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (as amended by the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005, the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017, the Terrorism Act 2000 (as amended by the Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001 and the Terrorism Act 2006.

9. CLM

CLM offers a suite of products using the same core solution and the same parameterization principles. Each product is based on the same core with a different pre-configuration done through the parameters.

  • ID&V: Identification and Validation contains everything to capture the client’s identification including online ID and electronic signature: Identification screens and fields, Online Identification, Snapshot, e-sign, upload file, white label/Single-tenant.

  • CDD goes one step further by adding Client Due Diligence information such as KYC profile and Tasks management such as KYC Review.

  • AML Anti-Money Laundering goes one step further with a pre-configuration for various SRO Self-Regulatory Organisations (ie VQF) with AMLA Checklist, AMLA document generation, FCC Risk calculation and integrated Screening capabilities.

  • The Client Space adds further processes for onboarding, KYC review, missing or outdated documents as well as dynamic document and booklet generation customised by parametrization to match those used within the organisation.

  • Trustee Management combines all those features, however with a set of screen, fields, and processes specifically suited for Trustee Management.

  • Full CLM is a complete Client Lifecycle Management product including all features including all ecosystem fully integrated.

CLM4Pension

CLM4Pension is aimed at pension fund providers. Currently it is a fixed solution which evolves into a full parameterizable solution with many API and entry points to open up the platforms to as many as possible pension service providers, fund managers, advisors and B2C clients.

11. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Directors acknowledge the importance of high standards of corporate governance and intend, given the Company’s size and the constitution of the Board, to maintain compliance with the principles set out in the QCA Code. The QCA Code sets out a standard of minimum best practice for small and mid-size quoted companies.

Upon Admission, the Board will comprise 6 Directors, 3 of whom will be Executive Directors and 2 Non-Executive Directors, reflecting a blend of different experiences and backgrounds.

The QCA Code states that a company should have at least two independent non-executive directors. At Admission the Company will have 2 independent non-executive directors being Gareth Edwards and Luca Tomasi. The Board believes that the composition of the Board will continue to bring a desirable range of skills and experience in light of the Company’s challenges and opportunities following Admission, while at the same time ensuring that no individual (or a small group of individuals) can dominate the Board’s decision-making. The Company will appraise the structure of the Board on an ongoing basis.

The Board intends to meet regularly to review, formulate and approve the Enlarged Group’s strategy, budgets, and corporate actions and oversee the Enlarged Group’s progress towards its goals. The Company has established an Audit Committee, a Remuneration Committee and a Nomination Committee, each with formally delegated duties and responsibilities and with written terms of reference.

34

The Company will review its compliance with the recommendations of the QCA Code and, following Admission, report in its annual report and accounts and on its website where it complies and explain where it does not comply.

Conflicts of interest

Mr. Duncan Soukup is currently a director and (indirectly) a shareholder of both the Company and id4. In light of the conflict of interest which the cross-directorships and shareholdings represent, an independent committee of the board of Directors has been constituted to consider all matters in relation to the Proposed Transaction, its members being the Independent Directors. Furthermore, as described in paragraph 3 of this Part VIII, Mr Duncan Soukup is the Executive Chairman of each of the Company and Thalassa and, immediately prior to Admission, is beneficially interested in 19.51% of the issued share capital of the Company (excluding his indirect interest through his shareholding in Thalassa) and 30.02% of the issued share capital of Thalassa. Thalassa has provided certain services to the Company pursuant to the Thalassa Services Agreement, further details of which are set out in paragraph 20.4 of Part XIV of the Document. Although as a result of the Proposed Transaction Mr Soukup will retain a significant shareholding in the Company, as a result of the proposed termination of the Thalassa Services Agreement and the conversion of the amount drawn down and accrued interest on the Convertible Loan Notes into Class A Preference Shares in the capital of the Company, the Independent Directors are satisfied that there will be no conflicts of interest between Mr Soukup, Thalassa or the Company following Admission.

Save as disclosed above, in relation to Mr Duncan Soukup, there are no potential conflicts of interest between any duties to the Enlarged Group of any of the Directors or Proposed Directors and their private interests and/or other duties save in respect of their interests and duties as Directors or Proposed Directors of the Company. Any potential conflict of interest that may arise in future will be considered by the non-conflicted Directors.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee will have the primary responsibility of monitoring the quality of internal controls to ensure that the financial performance of the Enlarged Group is properly measured and reported on. It will receive and review reports from the Enlarged Group’s management and external auditors relating to the interim and annual accounts and the accounting and internal control systems in use throughout the Enlarged Group. The Audit Committee will meet not less than three times in each financial year and will have unrestricted access to the Enlarged Group’s external auditors. The members of the Audit Committee shall include two non-executive Directors. The Audit Committee will comprise Luca Tomasi (as chairman) and Gareth Edwards.

Remuneration Committee

The Remuneration Committee will review the performance of the Executive Directors, chairman of the Board and senior management of the Enlarged Group and make recommendations to the Board on matters relating to their remuneration and terms of service. The Remuneration Committee will also make recommendations to the Board on proposals for the granting of share options and other equity incentives pursuant to any employee share option scheme or equity incentive plans in operation from time to time. The Remuneration Committee will meet as and when necessary, but at least twice each year. In exercising this role, the Directors shall have regard to the recommendations put forward in the QCA Code and, where appropriate, the QCA Remuneration Committee Guide and associated guidance. The members of the Remuneration Committee shall include two NonExecutive Directors. The Remuneration Committee will comprise Gareth Edwards (as chairman) and Luca Tomasi.

Nomination Committee

The Nomination Committee will lead the process for board appointments and make recommendations to the Board. The Nomination Committee shall evaluate the balance of skills, experience, independence and knowledge on the board and, in the light of this evaluation, prepare a description of the role and capabilities required for a particular appointment. The Nomination Committee will meet as and when necessary, but at least twice each year. The Nomination Committee will comprise Gareth Edwards (as chairman) and Luca Tomasi.

12. SHARE DEALING POLICY

The Company adopted a share dealing policy at the date of Company Admission, in conformity with the requirements of the Listing Rules and the Market Abuse Regulation, regulating trading and confidentiality of inside information for persons discharging managerial responsibility (“ PDMRs ”) and persons closely associated with them, which contains provisions appropriate for a company whose shares are admitted to trading on the Official List. The Company takes all reasonable steps to ensure compliance by PDMRs and any relevant employees with the terms of its share dealing policy.

13. DIVIDEND POLICY

The primary purpose of seeking the Admission of the Enlarged Group to trading on the London Stock Exchange is to provide growth capital with which it is intended to fund and accelerate the continued expansion and development of the business. Accordingly, the Directors do not intend that the Company will declare a dividend in the near term, but instead channel the available cash resources of the Enlarged Group into funding its expansion. Thereafter, the Board intends to commence the payment

35

of dividends only when it becomes commercially prudent to do so, having regard to the availability of distributable profits and the funds required to finance continuing future growth.

PART B - OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL REVIEW OF THE FORMER id4

Operating and Financial Review of the Former id4

Overview

id4 was formed as part of the merger of the former id4 AG (“ Former id4 ”) with and into its parent, Apeiron Holdings AG on 14 September 2021. Former id4 was incorporated and registered in the Canton of Lucerne in Switzerland in April 2019 whilst Apeiron Holdings AG was incorporated and registered in December 2018. Following the merger, Apeiron Holdings AG was renamed id4 AG. The registered office address of id4 is St. Niklausenstrasse 63, 6047 Kastanienbaum Switzerland.

The Former id4 is a Swiss Regulatory Technology (RegTech) company that provides digital solutions to small and medium size Financial Institutions (FIs) to support their digital transformation and regulatory compliance requirements for Anti Money Laundering (AML), Know Your Customer (KYC) and tax regulations.

The Former id4’s mission is to automate workflows across people, systems and data and to enhance user experience. The Former id4’s solutions help institutions to onboard clients digitally in an increasingly complex regulatory environment, whilst aiming to deliver a client user-friendly experience. The Former id4’s key services are Client Data Management (e.g. CRM and eKYC) and Client Lifecycle Management (e.g. Client On Boarding and on-going KYC review) solutions with a broad ecosystem of third-party providers in the field of cross-border, screening, digital signature and online identification.

The Former id4 has developed a set of algorithms which is central to its proprietary software. The software is composed of an adaptive end user interface and features including a complete integrated ecosystem of service providers in the field of Client Lifecycle Management.

The solution offered to the client is preconfigured with a set of standard parameters. Each client can easily adapt the solution through a console without any code programming. The set of standard parameters is a mix of best practices and experiences developed by the founders over the years in compliance, tax, and regulatory which are regularly reviewed and validated by external subject matter experts.

Currently, the Former id4 has developed two distinct platforms: CLM4Pension and CLM.

  • The first platform, CLM4Pension, is aimed at pension fund providers. Currently it is a fixed solution which evolves into a full parameterizable solution with many APIs and entry points to open the platforms to as many as possible pension service providers, fund managers, advisors and B2C clients. After having successfully completed the development of the core solution CLM4Pension, the Former id4 onboarded its first client, Lemania Pension Hub, in November 2019. Since then, the Former id4 has accompanied further Lemania Pension Hub commercial development and successfully developed new functionalities and APIs with Lemania Pension Hub’s partners leading to a substantial increase in ARR (currently contracted at CHF 43’000 min for 2021).

  • The second platform, CLM, offers a suite of products using the same core solution and the same parameterization principles. Each product is based on the same core with a different pre-configuration done through the parameters. Currently, there are five modular solutions including ID&V, CDD, AML, Client Space and Full CLM. Full CLM is a complete Client Lifecycle Management product including all features and a fully integrated ecosystem. The core development of ID&V, CDD and the Client Space basic solutions was finalised at the end of July 2021 whilst the core development of the Full CLM solution is expected to be completed by September 2021. Following the successful development of core CLM solutions on time and to budget, the Former id4 successfully signed three 2-year contracts in 2021 with prestigious clients in Switzerland to deliver Client Space solutions.

Building on those successes and track records, the Former id4 is now looking to secure funding to accelerate its product development plans and its sales development plans both in Switzerland and in the UK.

Comprehensive Income Statement Commentary

Key definitions

Revenue

The Former id4 has four types of revenue streams: one-off set-up revenue, recurring annual fee, change request and add-ons revenue.

  • One-off set-up revenues are single transactions linked to the implementation of a solution for a client.

  • Recurring annual fees are fees generated after the implementation of a solution for a client. The fees tend to be fixed in most cases and depend on the solution, the functionality and number of users. Typically, the contract duration for the Former id4 solutions vary between two and three years and renew annually thereafter. Recurring annual fees are expected to grow over time at client level as clients tend to add more functionalities (upscale) over time in line with their digitalisation agenda. Recurring annual fees constitute the mainstream of the revenue strategy of the Former id4 which are typical for software-asa-service businesses.

  • Change Request (CR) revenues are single transactions linked to a clients’ specific requirements which cannot be delivered off-the-shelf.

  • Add-on’s revenues are revenues generated via the Former id4 partners for extra functionality such as electronic signatures, document verification, PEP REP screening etc.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales are costs associated with the development of the Former id4 solutions and platforms. To-date, 100% of the costs of sales costs are external costs since the core development of the platforms is outsourced to Isobar / Merkle in Portugal. They are time and material costs.

42

The Former id4 took the strategic decision to outsource the core development of the solutions to optimise the cost base and to remain flexible. Over time, it is the intention to have a mix of both internal and external resources to develop the solution as the Former id4 expands and to internalise the software knowledge and de-risk the development activities.

Administrative expenses

13 December 2021

The Directors Anemoi International Ltd Folio Chambers, P.O. Box 800, Road Town, Tortola, BVI

Dear Sirs

Acquisition of id4 AG by Anemoi International Ltd (“Anemoi” or the “Company”) and subsequent placing of 54,375,000 shares at £0.04 (the “Placing”)

Introduction

We report on the historical financial information for the period from incorporation on 25 April 2019 to 31 December 2019 and the year ended 31 December 2020 of the Former id4 set out in this Part X on pages 52 to 63.

Opinion

In our opinion, the historical financial information gives, for the purposes of the Prospectus, a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Former id4 as at 31 December 2019 and 2020 and of their results, cash flows and changes in equity for the period from incorporation on 25 April 2019 to 31 December 2019 and the year ended 31 December 2020 in accordance with International Financial reporting Standard as adopted by the European Union.

Responsibilities

The Directors of the Company (the “Directors”) are responsible for preparing the historical financial information on the basis of accounting set out in note 1 to the historical financial information and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (“IFRS”).

It is our responsibility to form an opinion on the historical financial information and to report our opinion to you.

Save for any responsibility arising under Prospectus Regulation Rule 5.3.2R (2)(f) to any person as and to the extent there provided, to the fullest extent permitted by law we do not assume any responsibility and will not accept any liability to any other person for any loss suffered by any such other person as a result of, arising out of, or in connection with this report or our statement, required by and given solely for the purposes of complying with Item 1.3 of Annex 1 of the UK version of Commission delegated regulation (EU) No 2019/980 supplementing the Prospectus Regulation which is part of UK law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the “Prospectus Delegated Regulation”), consenting to its inclusion in the Prospectus.

Basis of preparation

This historical financial information has been prepared for inclusion in the Prospectus on the basis of the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the historical financial information.

This report is required by Item 18.3.1 of Annex 1 of the Prospectus Delegated Regulation and is given for the purpose of complying with that requirement and for no other purpose.

==> picture [504 x 65] intentionally omitted <==

50

Basis of opinion

We conducted our work in accordance with the Standards for Investment Reporting issued by the Financial Reporting Council (“FRC”) in the United Kingdom. We are independent of Former id4 in accordance with the FRC’s Ethical Standard as applied to Investment Circular Reporting Engagements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

Our work included an assessment of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the historical financial information. It also included an assessment of the significant estimates and judgments made by those responsible for the preparation of the historical financial information and whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the Company’s circumstances, consistently applied and adequately disclosed.

We planned and performed our work so as to obtain all the information and explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the historical financial information is free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or other irregularity or error.

Our work has not been carried out in accordance with auditing or other standards and practices generally accepted in jurisdictions outside the United Kingdom, including the United States of America, and accordingly should not be relied upon as if it had been carried out in accordance with those standards and practices.

Conclusions Relating to Going Concern

We are responsible for concluding on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on Former id4’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our report.

We have not identified a material uncertainty related to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast doubt on the ability of id4 to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the historical financial information as at 31 December 2020. We therefore conclude that the Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the historical financial information is appropriate.

Declaration

For the purposes of Prospectus Regulation Rule 5.3.2R (2)(f) we are responsible for this report as part of the prospectus and declare that we have taken all reasonable care to ensure that the information contained in this report is, to the best of our knowledge, in accordance with the facts and contains no omission likely to affect its import. This declaration is included in the prospectus in compliance with Item 1.2 of Annex 1 of the Prospectus Delegated Regulation and for no other purpose.

Yours faithfully

This financial information has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), including IFRIC interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as adopted by the European Union. The financial information has been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied.

The preparation of financial information in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the id4’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 5. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Although these estimates are based on management’s experience and knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may ultimately differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Going concern

This financial information has been prepared on the assumption that the Former id4 is a going concern. When assessing the foreseeable future, the Directors have looked at a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of this report and the working capital requirements of the Former id4.

After making enquiries, the Directors firmly believe that with their, and the continuning support of the parent company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial information.

New and amended standards adopted by the Former id4

The Former id4 has applied any applicable new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations that are mandatory for the financial year beginning on or after 1 January 2020.

There are no IFRS or IFRIC interpretations that are effective for the first time in this financial year that would be expected to have a material impact on the Former id4.

Standards, interpretations, and amendments to published standards that are not yet effective

Several new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations to existing standards have been published that are mandatory for the Former id4’s accounting periods beginning after 1 January 2021, or later periods, where the Former id4 intends to adopt these standards, if applicable, when they become effective. The Former id4 has disclosed below those standards that are likely to be applicable to the Former id4 and is currently assessing the impact of these standards.

52

Classification of liabilities – Amendments to IAS 1 Effective 1 January 2021 IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts Effective 1 January 2022

Management has not yet fully assessed the impact of these standards but does not believe they will have a material impact on the financial statements.

Segmental Reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the directors. In the opinion of the directors, the Former id4 has one class of business, being that of a regulatory technology company. The Former id4’s primary reporting format is determined by the geographical segment according to the location of its establishments. There is currently only one geographic reporting segment, which is Switzerland. All revenue and costs are derived from the single segment.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised in according with the requirements of IFRS 15 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’. The Former id4 recognises revenue to depict the transfer of services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those services. This core principle is delivered in a five-step model framework:

  • Identify the contract(s) with the customer;

  • Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

  • Determine the transaction price;

  • Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

  • Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

Revenue is recognised on service contracts at the point at which the service has been completed, or for a contract covering a period, monthly over the period of the contract. Revenues exclude intra-group sales and value added taxes and represent net invoice value less estimated rebates, returns and settlement discounts. The net invoice value is measured by reference to the fair value of consideration received or receivable by the Former id4 for services supplied.

Financial assets and liabilities

Recognition and initial measurement

The Former id4 initially recognises loans and advances, trade and other receivables/payables, and borrowings plus or minus transactions costs when and only when the Former id4 becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Financial assets at amortised cost

The Former id4’s financial assets at amortised cost comprise trade and other receivables. These represent debt instruments with fixed or determinable payments that represent principal or interest and where the intention is to hold to collect these contractual cash flows.

They are initially recognised at fair value, included in current and non-current assets, depending on the nature of the transaction, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less any provision for impairment

Financial liabilities at amortised cost

Financial liabilities at amortised cost comprise trade and other payables. They are classified as current and non-current liabilities depending on the nature of the transaction and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Financial assets

The Former id4 derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Former id4 neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.

On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount of the asset (or the carrying amount allocated to the portion of the asset derecognised) and the sum of (i) the consideration received (including any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) and (ii) any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in OCI is recognised in profit or loss.

53

Financial liabilities

The Former id4 derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire.

Research and development

Management judgement is required to determine whether any of the Former id4’s individual research and development projects reached the development stage during the year in accordance with IAS 38 and whether any amounts should be capitalized as intangible assets based on management’s assessment of the technical, commercial, and financial viability of the individual projects.

Cash and cash equivalents

In the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks.

Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Intangible assets

An intangible asset, which is an identifiable non-monetary asset without physical substance, is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the expected future economic benefits attributable to the asset will flow to the Company and that its cost can be measured reliably. Such intangible assets are carried at cost less amortisation. Amortisation is charged to ‘Administrative expenses’ in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over the intangible assets’ useful economic life. The amortisation is based on a straight-line method typically over a period of 1-10 years depending on the life of the related asset.

Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

Development costs are capitalised as an intangible asset only if the following conditions are met:

  • an asset is created that can be identified;

  • it is probable that the asset created will generate future economic benefit;

  • the development cost of the asset can be measured reliably;

  • it meets the Company’s criteria for technical and commercial feasibility; and sufficient resources are available to meet the development costs to either sell or use as an asset.

Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

There is no tax currently payable based on the Former id4 making a loss for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because it excludes items of income and expense that are taxable or deductible in other years, and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible.

Current or deferred tax for the year is recognised in profit or loss, except when it relates to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the current and deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The Former id4 makes certain judgements and estimates which affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities. Critical judgements and the assumptions used in calculating estimates are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

In the process of applying the Former id4’s accounting policies, which are described above, the Directors do not believe that they have had to make any assumptions or judgements that would have a material effect on the amounts recognised in the financial information.

6. Notes to the Financial Information

6.1 Financial Risk Management

The Former id4’s activities may expose it to some financial risks. The Former id4’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Former id4’s financial performance.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Former id4 will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The responsibility for liquidity risks management rest with the Board of Directors, which has established appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Former id4 ’s short term and long-term funding risks management requirements.

During the period under review, the Former id4 has utilised the loan facilities held by the former parent, Apeiron Holdings AG (now a merged entity), Apeiron Holdings (BVI) Ltd and the ultimate parent, Thalassa Holdings Ltd. The parent companies have both committed their continuing support. The Former id4 manages liquidity risks by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

Capital risk

The Former id4 takes great care to protect its capital investments. Significant due diligence is undertaken prior to making any investment. The investment is closely monitored.

Fair value hierarchy

All the financial assets and financial liabilities recognised in the financial statements which are short-term in nature are shown at the carrying value which also approximates the fair values of those financial instruments. Therefore, no separate disclosure for fair value hierarchy is required.

The Former id4’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, mainly credit risk and liquidity risk.

Market risk

  • Market risk is defined as the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The Former id4’s market risks arise from open positions in (a) interest bearing assets and liabilities, and (b) foreign currencies; to the extent that these are exposed to general and specific market movements (see details below).

  • Interest rate risk – the Former id4’s interest-bearing assets comprise of only cash and cash equivalents. As the Former id4’s interest-bearing assets do not generate significant amounts of interest; changes in market interest rates do not have any significant direct effect on its income.

  • Credit risk - Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Former id4 . Credit risk arises from cash balances (including bank deposits, cash and cash equivalents) and credit exposures to trade receivables. The Former id4’s maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and other receivables.

  • Liquidity risk: Trade and other payables are monitored as part of normal management routine. Borrowings and other liabilities mature according to the following schedule:

6.6 Capital risk management

The Directors’ objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Former id4’s ability to develop the software and continue as a going concern to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. At the date of this financial information, the Former id4 had been financed by the introduction of debt from the parent company. In the future, the capital structure of the Former id4 is expected to consist of borrowings and equity attributable to equity holders of the Former id4.

==> picture [131 x 138] intentionally omitted <==

13 December 2021

The Directors Anemoi International Ltd Folio Chambers, P.O. Box 800, Road Town, Tortola, BVI

Dear Sirs

Acquisition of id4 AG by Anemoi International Ltd (“Anemoi” or the “Company”) and subsequent placing of 54,375,000 shares at £0.04 (the “Placing”)

Introduction

We report on the historical financial information for Apeiron Holdings AG for the period from incorporation on 7 December 2018 to 31 December 2019 and the year ended 31 December 2020 set out in this Part X on pages 71 to 80.

We have not audited or reviewed the historical financial information for the 6 months period ended 30 June 2021 and 6 months period ended 30 June 2020 which have been included for comparative purposes only, and accordingly do not express an opinion thereon.

Opinion

In our opinion, the historical financial information gives, for the purposes of the Prospectus, a true and fair view of the state of affairs of Apeiron Holdings AG as at 31 December 2019 and 31 December 2020 and of their results, cash flows and changes in equity for the period from incorporation on 7 December 2018 to 31 December 2019 and the year ended 31 December 2020 in accordance with International Financial reporting Standard as adopted by the European Union.

Responsibilities

The Directors of the Company (the “Directors”) are responsible for preparing the historical financial information in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (“IFRS”).

It is our responsibility to form an opinion on the historical financial information and to report our opinion to you.

Save for any responsibility arising under Prospectus Regulation Rule 5.3.2R (2)(f) to any person as and to the extent there provided, to the fullest extent permitted by law we do not assume any responsibility and will not accept any liability to any other person for any loss suffered by any such other person as a result of, arising out of, or in connection with this report or our statement, required by and given solely for the purposes of complying with Item 1.3 of Annex 1 of the of the UK version of Commission delegated regulation (EU) No 2019/980 supplementing the Prospectus Regulation which is part of UK law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the “Prospectus Delegated Regulation”), consenting to its inclusion in the Prospectus.

Basis of preparation

This historical financial information has been prepared for inclusion in the Prospectus on the basis of the accounting policies set out in note 5 to the historical financial information.

This report is required by Item 18.3.1 of Annex 1 of the Prospectus Delegated Regulation and is given for the purpose of complying with that requirement and for no other purpose.

==> picture [503 x 75] intentionally omitted <==

69

Basis of opinion

We conducted our work in accordance with the Standards for Investment Reporting issued by the Financial Reporting Council (“FRC”) in the United Kingdom. We are independent of Apeiron Holdings AG in accordance with the FRC’s Ethical Standard as applied to Investment Circular Reporting Engagements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

Our work included an assessment of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the historical financial information. It also included an assessment of the significant estimates and judgments made by those responsible for the preparation of the historical financial information and whether the accounting policies are appropriate to Apeiron Holdings AG’s circumstances, consistently applied and adequately disclosed.

We planned and performed our work so as to obtain all the information and explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the historical financial information is free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or other irregularity or error.

Our work has not been carried out in accordance with auditing or other standards and practices generally accepted in jurisdictions outside the United Kingdom, including the United States of America, and accordingly should not be relied upon as if it had been carried out in accordance with those standards and practices.

Conclusions Relating to Going Concern

We are responsible for concluding on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on Apeiron Holding AG’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our report.

We have not identified a material uncertainty related to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast doubt on the ability of Apeiron Holding AG to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the historical financial information as at 31 December 2020. We therefore conclude that the Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the historical financial information is appropriate.

Declaration

For the purposes of Prospectus Regulation Rule 5.3.2R (2)(f) we are responsible for this report as part of the prospectus and declare that we have taken all reasonable care to ensure that the information contained in this report is, to the best of our knowledge, in accordance with the facts and contains no omission likely to affect its import. This declaration is included in the prospectus in compliance with Item 1.2 of Annex 1 of the Prospectus Delegated Regulation and for no other purpose.

Yours faithfully

Average Rate 1.241 1.256 1.204 1.258

5.2 Accounting policies

5.2.1 Basis of Accounting

Statement of compliance

This financial information has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), including IFRIC interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as adopted by the European Union and with those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The financial information has been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

74

These policies have been consistently applied.

The preparation of financial information in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Apeiron Holdings AG’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 5. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Although these estimates are based on management’s experience and knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may ultimately differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

5.2.1.1 Going concern

This financial information has been prepared on the assumption that Apeiron Holdings AG is a going concern. When assessing the foreseeable future, the Directors have looked at a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of this report and the working capital requirements of Apeiron Holdings AG.

After making enquiries, the Directors firmly believe that with their, and the continuning support of the ultimate parent has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial information.

5.2.1.2 New and amended standards adopted by Apeiron Holdings AG

Apeiron Holdings AG has applied any applicable new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations that are mandatory for the financial year beginning on or after 1 January 2020.

There are no IFRS or IFRIC interpretations that are effective for the first time in this financial year that would be expected to have a material impact on Apeiron Holdings AG.

5.2.1.3 Standards, interpretations, and amendments to published standards that are not yet effective

Several new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations to existing standards have been published that are mandatory for Apeiron Holdings AG’s accounting periods beginning after 1 January 2021, or later periods, where Apeiron Holdings AG intends to adopt these standards, if applicable, when they become effective. Apeiron Holdings AG has disclosed below those standards that are likely to be applicable to Apeiron Holdings AG and is currently assessing the impact of these standards.

Classification of liabilities – Amendments to IAS 1

IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts

Effective 1 January 2021 Effective 1 January 2022

Management has not yet fully assessed the impact of these standards but does not believe they will have a material impact on the financial statements.

5.2.2 Segmental Reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decisionmaker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the directors. In the opinion of the directors, Apeiron Holdings AG has one class of business, being that of holding company. Apeiron Holdings AG’s primary reporting format is determined by the geographical segment according to the location of its establishments. There is currently only one geographic reporting segment, which is Switzerland. All revenue and costs are derived from the single segment.

5.2.3 Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised in according with the requirements of IFRS 15 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’. Apeiron Holdings recognises revenue to depict the transfer of services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those services. This core principle is delivered in a five-step model framework:

  • Identify the contract(s) with the customer;

  • Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

  • Determine the transaction price;

  • Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

  • Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

75

Revenue relates to management fee charged to the Former id4, £112,229 (June 2020: £119,395, Dec 2020: £231,357, Dec 2019: Nil)

Interest income of £28,945 in 2020 relates to loan advanced in 2020 to Tappit Technologies (UK) Limited which was repaid in the same year.

5.2.4 Financial assets and liabilities

5.2.4.1 Recognition and initial measurement

Apeiron Holdings AG initially recognises loans and advances, trade and other receivables/payables, and borrowings plus or minus transactions costs when and only when Apeiron Holdings AG becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

5.2.4.2 Financial assets at amortised cost

Apeiron Holdings AG’s financial assets at amortised cost comprise trade and other receivables. These represent debt instruments with fixed or determinable payments that represent principal or interest and where the intention is to hold to collect these contractual cash flows.

They are initially recognised at fair value, included in current and non-current assets, depending on the nature of the transaction, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less any provision for impairment

5.2.4.3 Financial liabilities at amortised cost

Financial liabilities at amortised cost comprise trade and other payables. They are classified as current and non-current liabilities depending on the nature of the transaction and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

5.2.4.4 Financial assets

Apeiron Holdings AG derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which Apeiron Holdings AG neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.

On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount of the asset (or the carrying amount allocated to the portion of the asset derecognised) and the sum of (i) the consideration received (including any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) and (ii) any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in OCI is recognised in profit or loss.

5.2.4.5 Financial liabilities

Apeiron Holdings AG derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire.

5.2.4.6 Research and development

Management judgement is required to determine whether any of the Company’s individual research and development projects reached the development stage during the year in accordance with IAS 38 and whether any amounts should be capitalized as intangible assets based on management’s assessment of the technical, commercial, and financial viability of the individual projects.

5.2.5 Cash and cash equivalents

In the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks.

5.2.6 Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

5.2.7 Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

There is no tax currently payable based on Apeiron Holdings AG making a loss for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because it excludes items of income and expense that are taxable or deductible in other years, and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible.

Current or deferred tax for the year is recognised in profit or loss, except when it relates to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the current and deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

76

5.2.8 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

Apeiron Holdings AG makes certain judgements and estimates which affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities. Critical judgements and the assumptions used in calculating estimates are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

In the process of applying Apeiron Holdings AG’s accounting policies, which are described above, the Directors do not believe that they have had to make any assumptions or judgements that would have a material effect on the amounts recognised in the financial information.

5.2.9 Financial Risk Management

Apeiron Holdings AG’s activities may expose it to some financial risks. Apeiron Holdings AG’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on Apeiron Holdings AG’s financial performance.

5.2.10 Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that Apeiron Holdings AG will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The responsibility for liquidity risks management rest with the Board of Directors, which has established appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of Apeiron Holdings AG’s short term and long-term funding risks management requirements.

During the period under review, Apeiron Holdings AG has utilised the loan facilities held by the parent, Apeiron Holdings (BVI) Ltd and ultimate parent, Thalassa Holdings Ltd. The parent companies have both committed their continuing support. Apeiron Holdings AG manages liquidity risks by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

5.2.10.1 Capital risk

Apeiron Holdings AG takes great care to protect its capital investments. Significant due diligence is undertaken prior to making any investment. The investment is closely monitored.

5.2.10.2 Fair value hierarchy

All the financial assets and financial liabilities recognised in the financial statements which are short-term in nature are shown at the carrying value which also approximates the fair values of those financial instruments. Therefore, no separate disclosure for fair value hierarchy is required.

Apeiron Holdings AG’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, mainly credit risk and liquidity risk.

77

5.2.10.3 Market risk

  • Market risk is defined as the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Apeiron Holdings AG’s market risks arise from open positions in (a) interest bearing assets and liabilities, and (b) foreign currencies; to the extent that these are exposed to general and specific market movements (see details below).

  • Interest rate risk - Apeiron Holdings AG’s interest-bearing assets comprise of only cash and cash equivalents. As Apeiron Holdings AG’s interest-bearing assets do not generate significant amounts of interest; changes in market interest rates do not have any significant direct effect on its income.

  • Credit risk - Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to Apeiron Holdings AG. Credit risk arises from cash balances (including bank deposits, cash and cash equivalents) and credit exposures to trade receivables. Apeiron Holdings AG’s maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and other receivables.

  • Liquidity risk: Trade and other payables are monitored as part of normal management routine. Borrowings and other liabilities mature according to the schedule defined under Capital risk.

The average number of employees (including directors) during the period was 1 (2019:1).

  • (b) such basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Group.

Declaration

For the purposes of Prospectus Regulations Rule 5.3.2R (2)(f) we are responsible for this report as part of the Prospectus and declare that we have taken all reasonable care to ensure that the information contained in this report is, to the best of our knowledge, in accordance with the facts and contains no omission likely to affect its import.

PART XII - TAXATION

British Virgin Islands taxation

The Company and all dividends, interest, rents, royalties, compensations and other amounts paid by the Company are exempt from the provisions of the Income Tax Act in the British Virgin Islands, and any capital gains realised with respect to any shares, debt obligations, or other securities of the Company are exempt from the provisions of the Income Tax Act in the British Virgin Islands. No estate, inheritance, succession or gift tax is payable with respect to any shares, debt obligations or other securities of a BVI business company. There are no withholding taxes or exchange control regulations in the British Virgin Islands applicable to the Company or its shareholders. Shareholders will not be subject to any income, withholding or capital gains taxes in the British Virgin Islands, with respect to the shares of the Company owned by them and dividends received on such shares, nor will they be subject to any estate, inheritance, succession or gift tax in the British Virgin Islands.

THE FOLLOWING SECTION IS A SUMMARY GUIDE ONLY TO CERTAIN ASPECTS OF TAX IN THE UK. THIS IS NOT A COMPLETE ANALYSIS OF ALL THE POTENTIAL TAX EFFECTS OF ACQUIRING, HOLDING AND DISPOSING OF ORDINARY SHARES IN THE COMPANY, NOR WILL IT RELATE TO THE SPECIFIC TAX POSITION OF ALL SHAREHOLDERS IN ALL JURISDICTIONS. THIS SUMMARY IS NOT A LEGAL OPINION. SHAREHOLDERS ARE ADVISED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISERS.

It is intended as a general guide only to the United Kingdom tax position of Shareholders who are the beneficial owners of Ordinary Shares in the Company who are United Kingdom tax resident and, in the case of individuals, domiciled in the United Kingdom for tax purposes and who hold their shares as investments (otherwise than under an individual savings account (ISA)) only and not as securities to be realised in the course of a trade. It relates only to certain limited aspects of UK tax consequences of holding and disposing of Ordinary Shares in the Company. It is based on current UK tax law and the current practice of HMRC, both of which are subject to change, possibly with retrospective effect.

Any person who is in any doubt as to his or her tax position, or who is resident or otherwise subject to taxation in a jurisdiction outside the UK, should consult his or her tax advisers immediately.

Taxation of dividends

United Kingdom resident individuals

Dividend income is subject to income tax as the top slice of the individual’s income. Each individual will have an annual Dividend Allowance of £2,000, which means that they will not have to pay tax on the first £2,000 of all dividend income they receive. Dividends in excess of the Dividend Allowance will be taxed at the individual’s marginal rate of tax, with dividends falling within the basic rate band taxable at 7.5% (the “ dividend ordinary rate ”), those within the higher rate band taxable at 32.5% (the “dividend upper rate”) and those within the additional rate band taxable at 38.1% (the “ dividend additional rate ”). It has been proposed that from 6th April 2022 there will be an increase in the above dividend rates by 1.25 per cent.

United Kingdom discretionary trustees

The annual Dividend Allowance available to individuals will not be available to United Kingdom resident trustees of a discretionary trust. United Kingdom resident trustees of a discretionary trust in receipt of dividends are liable to income tax at a rate of 38.1%, which mirrors the dividend additional rate.

United Kingdom resident companies

Shareholders that are bodies corporate resident in the United Kingdom for tax purposes, may (subject to anti-avoidance rules) be able to rely on Part 9A of the Corporation Tax Act 2009 to exempt dividends paid by the Company from being chargeable to United Kingdom corporation tax. Such shareholders should seek independent advice with respect to their tax position. United Kingdom pension funds and charities are generally exempt from tax on dividends that they receive.

90

Taxation of chargeable gains

The following paragraphs summarise the tax position in respect to a disposal of Ordinary Shares by a Shareholder resident for tax purposes in the United Kingdom.

A disposal of Ordinary Shares by a Shareholder who is resident in the United Kingdom for United Kingdom tax purposes or who is not so resident but carries on business in the United Kingdom through a branch, agency or permanent establishment with which their investment in the Company is connected may give rise to a chargeable gain or an allowable loss for the purposes of United Kingdom taxation of chargeable gains, depending on the Shareholder’s circumstances and subject to any available exemption or relief.

For individual Shareholders who are United Kingdom tax resident or only temporarily non-United Kingdom tax resident, capital gains tax at the rate of 10% for basic rate taxpayers or 20% for higher or additional rate taxpayers may be payable on any gain (after any available exemptions, reliefs or losses). For Shareholders that are bodies corporate any gain may be within the charge to corporation tax. Individuals may benefit from certain reliefs and allowances (including a personal annual exemption allowance) depending on their circumstances.

For trustee Shareholders of a discretionary trust who are United Kingdom tax resident, capital gains tax at the rate of tax of 20% may be payable on any gain (after any available exemptions, reliefs or losses).

Inheritance tax

Individuals and trustees may be subject to inheritance tax in relation to a shareholding in the Company subject to any inheritance tax reliefs that may be available.

This summary of UK taxation issues can only provide a general overview of these areas and it is not a description of all the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to invest in the Company. The summary of certain UK tax issues is based on the laws and regulations in force as of the date of this Document and may be subject to any changes in UK law occurring after such date. Legal advice should be taken with regard to individual circumstances. Any person who is in any doubt as to his tax position or where he is resident, or otherwise subject to taxation, in a jurisdiction other than the UK, should consult his professional adviser.

91

PART XIII - CONSEQUENCES OF A STANDARD LISTING

As the Acquisition is classified as a Reverse Takeover, upon completion of the Acquisition, the Standard Listing of the Ordinary Shares will be cancelled and further applications will be made to the FCA for the immediate re-admission of the Ordinary Shares (at such time comprising the Existing Ordinary Shares and the New Ordinary Shares) to Standard Listing (pursuant to Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules) and to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange. Listing Principles 1 and 2 as set out in Listing Rule 7.2.1 of the Listing Rules also apply to the Company, and the Company must comply with such Listing Principles. Premium Listing Principles 1 to 6 as set out in Listing Rule 7.2.1AR of the Listing Rules do not apply to the Company.

As a consequence of the changes to the Listing Rules which came into effect on 3 December 2021 and the Company being classified as a shell company with its shares already listed on 2 December 2021, the Company will apply to the FCA for the re-admission of the Ordinary Shares (at such time comprising the Existing Ordinary Shares and the New Ordinary Shares) to Standard Listing (pursuant to Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules) based on having a minimum market capitalisation (“ MMC ”) on Admission of £700,000.

In the event that the Company decided to undertake any further acquisition in the future which required it to apply for re-admission to Standard Listing, it would need to satisfy the revised MMC threshold of £30,000,000 upon such re-admission becoming effective.

However, while the Company has a Standard Listing, it is not required to comply with the provisions of inter alia:

  • Chapter 8 of the Listing Rules regarding the appointment of a sponsor to guide the Company in understanding and meeting its responsibilities under the Listing Rules in connection with certain matters. The Company has not and does not intend to appoint such a sponsor in connection with the Placing and Admission.

  • Chapter 9 of the Listing Rules relating to the ongoing obligations for companies admitted to the Premium List, which therefore does not apply to the Company.

  • Chapter 10 of the Listing Rules relating to significant transactions. It should be noted therefore that the Acquisition did not require Shareholder consent;

  • Chapter 11 of the Listing Rules regarding related party transactions. Nevertheless, the Company will not enter into any transaction which would constitute a ‘related party transaction’ as defined in Chapter 11 of the Listing Rules without specific prior approval of the Independent Directors;

  • Chapter 12 of the Listing Rules regarding purchases by the Company of its Ordinary Shares. In particular, the Company has not adopted a policy consistent with the provisions of Listing Rules 12.4.1 and 12.4.2; and

  • Chapter 13 of the Listing Rules regarding the form and content of circulars to be sent to Shareholders.

It should be noted that the FCA will not have authority to (and will not) monitor the Company’s compliance with any of the Listing Rules which the Company has indicated herein that it intends to comply with on a voluntary basis, nor to impose sanctions in respect of any failure by the Company so to comply. However, the FCA would be able to impose sanctions for non-compliance where the statements regarding compliance in this Prospectus are themselves false, misleading or deceptive.

  • 6.4 The Articles contain, inter alia, provisions to the following effect:

6.4.1 Rights attaching to shares

Subject to any special rights or restrictions as to voting upon which any shares may for the time being be held, at any meeting of members whether on a show of hands or on a poll every holder of a voting share present in person or by proxy shall have such number of votes as is attached to the share of which he is a holder. Each ordinary share in the

94

Company confers on the holder the right to one (1) vote at a meeting of the members of the Company or on any resolution of the members of the Company. Subject to the provisions of the BVI Companies Act, shares may be issued on the terms that they are redeemable, or at the option of the Company be liable to be redeemed on such terms and in such manner as the Directors before or at the time of the issue of such shares may determine.

6.4.2 Variation of class rights

Whenever the shares which the Company is authorised to issue are divided into different classes of shares the rights attached to any class may be varied or abrogated either with the consent in writing of the holders of three-fourths of the issued shares of that class and the holders of not less than three-fourths of the issued shares of any other class of shares which may be affected by such variation.

6.4.3 Transfer of shares

Shares in the Company are transferable subject to the provisions contained in the Articles and there are no restrictions on transfer.

Shares in the Company shall be transferred by a written instrument of transfer signed by the transferor and containing the name and address of the transferee. The instrument of transfer shall also be signed by the transferee if registration as a holder of the shares imposes a liability to the Company on the transferee. The instrument of transfer of a registered share shall be sent to the Company for registration.

If the Directors are satisfied that an instrument of transfer relating to shares has been signed but that the instrument has been lost or destroyed, subject to article 3 they may resolve by resolution of directors: (i) to accept such evidence of the transfer of shares as they consider appropriate; and (ii) that the transferee’s name should be entered in the register of members notwithstanding the absence of the instrument of transfer.

In the case of uncertificated shares, and subject to the BVI Companies Act, a shareholder is entitled to transfer his shares and other securities by means of a relevant system and the operator of the relevant system shall act as agent of the shareholders for the purposes of the transfer of shares or other securities. If the Directors believe that any shares are or may be held by a Prohibited Person (as defined below), then the Directors may serve a notice on the registered holder of such shares requiring him within 10 days (or such extended time as the Directors consider reasonable) to transfer (and/ or procure the disposal of interests in) such share to another person who, in the sole and exclusive determination of the Directors, is not a Prohibited Person. From the date of such notice until registration of such a transfer or a transfer arranged 65 by the Directors as referred to below, the rights and privileges attaching to such shares will be suspended and not capable of exercise. If the notice is not complied with within 10 days (or such extended time as in the circumstances the Directors consider reasonable) to the satisfaction of the Directors, the Directors shall arrange for the Company to sell the shares at the best price reasonably obtainable to any other person who is not a Prohibited person. The net proceeds of sale (after payment of the Company’s costs of the sale) shall be paid over by the Company to the former holder. For the purposes of this paragraph, a “Prohibited Person” means (a) any person that is an employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA (the United States’ Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or other plan subject to Section 4975 of the US Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), and in the opinion of the Directors the assets of the Company may be considered “plan assets” within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA; or (b) any person to whom a transfer of shares or whose ownership or holding of any shares might in the opinion of the Directors require registration of the Company as an investment company under the US Investment Company Act; or (c) any “United States person” (as defined in Section 957(c) of the US Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) and such person’s shareholding amounts to ten per cent. or more of the shares, unless otherwise approved by the Directors.

6.4.4 Distributions

Subject to the provisions of the BVI Companies Act, the Directors may, by resolution, authorise a distribution by the Company at a time, and of an amount they think fit if they are satisfied, on reasonable grounds, that the Company will, immediately after the distribution, satisfy the solvency test as stipulated in section 56 of the BVI Companies Act.

All distributions shall be declared and paid pro rata, excluding those shares which are held by the Company as treasury shares at the date of declaration of the distribution.

The Directors may, before recommending any distribution, set aside out of the profits of the Company such sums as they think proper as a reserve or reserves which shall, at their discretion, either be employed in the business of the Company or be invested in such investments as the directors may from time to time think fit.

If several persons are registered as joint holders of any share, any of them may give effectual receipt for any distribution or other monies payable on or in respect of the share.

95

Notice of any distribution that may have been declared shall be given to each member in manner hereinafter mentioned and all distributions unclaimed for three years after having been declared may be forfeited by the directors for the benefit of the Company.

No distribution shall bear interest against the Company.

Each Ordinary Share confers on the holder: he right to an equal share in the distribution of the surplus assets of the Company.

6.4.5 General meetings

The Company is required to hold an AGM in each year (other than the year of the Company’s incorporation). The Directors may convene meetings of the Shareholders of the Company at such times and in such manner and places within or outside the British Virgin Islands as the Directors consider necessary or desirable. Upon the written request of Shareholders holding 10 per cent. or more of the outstanding voting rights of the matter for which the meeting is being requested, the Directors shall convene a meeting of Shareholders.

The Director shall give not less than 14 clear days’ notice of meetings of Shareholders to those persons whose names on the date the notice is given appear as Shareholders in the share register of the Company and are entitled to vote at the meeting.

A meeting of Shareholders is duly constituted if, at the commencement of the meeting, there are present in person or by proxy no less than 2 Shareholders entitled to vote on resolutions of Shareholder to be considered at the meeting (or, if at that time, the Company shall have only one Shareholder, one Shareholder present in person or by proxy, shall form a quorum).

If within thirty minutes (or such longer time not exceeding one hour as the chairman of the meeting may determine to wait) from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present, the meeting, if convened upon the requisition of Shareholders, shall be dissolved; in any other case it shall stand adjourned to the same day in the next week at the same time and place or to such other time and place as the Directors may determine, and if at the adjourned meeting a quorum is not present within thirty minutes from the time appointed for the meeting, the meeting shall be dissolved. The chairman, may, with the consent of the meeting, adjourn any meeting from time to time, and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business which might lawfully have been transacted at the meeting had the adjournment not taken place.

An action that may be taken by the Shareholders at a meeting may also be taken by a resolution of Shareholders consented to in writing or by telex, telegram, cable, or other written electronic communications, without the need for any notice.

6.4.6 Directors

The Directors may, by resolution of the Directors, appoint officers of the Company at such times as shall be considered necessary or expedient.

The business and affairs of the Company shall be managed by the Directors who may exercise all such powers of the Company as are not by the BVI Companies Act or by the Memorandum of Association or the Articles of Association required to be exercised by the Shareholders of the Company, subject to any delegation of such powers as may be authorised by the Articles of Association and permitted by the Act and to such requirements as may be prescribed by a resolution of Shareholders.

The Directors or any committee thereof may meet at such times and in such manner and places as the Directors may determine to be appropriate. Questions arising at any meeting shall be decided by a majority of votes. In case of an equality of votes the chairman at the meeting shall have a second or casting vote.

A resolution approved by a majority of the Directors for the time being entitled to receive notice of a meeting of the Directors or of a committee of the Directors and taking the form of one or more documents in writing or by telefax or other written or electronic communication shall be as valid and effectual as if it had been passed at a meeting of the Directors or of such committee duly convened and held, without the need for any notice.

6.4.7 The Takeover Code

  • a) The summary provisions of the Articles relating to takeover situations shall apply to the Company unless the Takeover Panel (or a financial adviser to the Company) has advised the Company that it is subject to the Takeover Code.

  • b) Subject to the remainder of the Articles summarised below, except with the consent of a resolution of the Board, when:

96

  • any member (or person acting in concert with such member) acquires, whether in a single transaction or by a series of transactions over a period of time, an interest in shares which (taken together with shares in which such member or persons acting in concert with such member are interested) carry 20% or more of the voting rights of the Company; or

  • any member, together with persons acting in concert with such member, is interested in shares which in the aggregate carry not less than 20% of the voting rights of the Company but does not hold shares carrying more than 50% of such voting rights and such member, or any person acting in concert with such member, acquires an interest in any other shares which increases the percentage of shares carrying voting rights in which he is interested,

such member (the “ Offeror ”) shall extend an offer, on the basis set out in paragraphs (c) to (e) below, to the holders of all the issued (and to be issued) shares in the Company. An offer will not be required under this paragraph where control of the Company is acquired as a result of a voluntary offer made materially in accordance with the provisions of the Takeover Code (as if the Takeover Code applied to the Company) to all holders of shares. For the purposes of this paragraph, “Group” in relation to a corporate entity means that corporate entity’s subsidiaries, its holding company and any subsidiaries of such holding company.

  • c) An offer made pursuant to paragraph (b) above must be conditional only upon the Offeror having received acceptances in respect of shares which, together with shares acquired or agreed to be acquired before or during the offer, will result in the Offeror and any person acting in concert with it holding shares carrying more than 50% of the voting rights of the Company.

  • d) An offer made pursuant to paragraph (b) must be in cash or be accompanied by a cash alternative at not less than the highest price paid by the Offeror or any person acting in concert with it for any interest in shares during the 12 months prior to the date upon which an announcement of that offer would have been required had the Takeover Code applied to the Company. If, after the obligation to make an offer pursuant to paragraph (b) arises and before the offer closes for acceptance, the Offeror or any person acting in concert with it acquires any interest in shares at above the offer price, it shall increase its offer to not less than the highest price paid for the interest in shares so acquired. The cash offer or the cash alternative must remain open after the offer has become or been declared unconditional as to acceptances for not less than fourteen (14) days after the date on which it would otherwise have expired.

  • e) When an offer is made pursuant to paragraph (b) and the Company has convertible securities outstanding, the Offeror must make an appropriate offer or proposal, on terms equivalent to the offer made for shares, to the holders of such convertible securities to ensure that their interests are safeguarded.

  • f) Any offer required to be made pursuant to paragraph (b) shall be made on terms that would be required by the then current Takeover Code, save to the extent that the Board otherwise determines. In relation to any offer required to be made pursuant to paragraph (b), any matter which under the Takeover Code would fall to be determined by the Takeover Panel shall be determined by the Board in its absolute discretion or by such person appointed by the Board to make such determination.

  • g) No acquisition of any interest in shares which would give rise to a requirement for an offer pursuant to paragraph (b) may be made (and the directors shall be entitled to refuse to register any transfer of shares effecting such acquisition) if the making or implementation of such offer would or might be dependent on the passing of a resolution at any meeting of shareholders of the Offeror or upon any other conditions, consents or arrangements.

  • h) No nominee of an Offeror or persons acting in concert with it may be appointed as a director, nor may an Offeror or any persons acting in concert with it exercise the votes attaching to any shares until the relevant offer document has been posted.

  • i) Except with the consent of a resolution of the Board, members shall comply with the requirements of the Takeover Code (as if the Takeover Code applied to the Company) in relation to any dealings in any shares and in relation to their dealings with the Company in relation to all matters. Any matter which under the Takeover Code would fall to be determined by the Takeover Panel shall be determined by the Board in its absolute discretion or by such person appointed by the Board to make such determination. Any notice which under the Takeover Code is required to be given to the Takeover Panel shall be given to the Company at its registered office.

  • j) Without limitation to the requirements of paragraph (i) above, at all times when the Company is in an offer period each member shall comply with the disclosure obligations set out in Rule 8 of the Takeover Code as if the Takeover Code applied to the Company.

97

  • k) If at any time any member has incurred an obligation under paragraph (b) to extend an offer to the holders of all the issued shares (and any convertible securities of the Company), and shall have failed so to do, or that any member is in default of any other obligation imposed upon members pursuant to this paragraph “The Takeover Code”, then the Board shall as soon as practicable by notice (a “Direction Notice”) to such member and any other member acting in concert with such member (together the “Defaulters”) direct that:

  • in respect of the shares held by the Defaulters (the “Default Shares”) the Defaulters shall not be entitled to vote at a general meeting either personally or by proxy or to exercise any other right conferred by membership in relation to meetings of the Company;

  • except in a liquidation of the Company, no payment shall be made of any sums due from the Company on the Default Shares, whether in respect of capital or dividend or otherwise, and the Company shall not meet any liability to pay interest on any such payment when it is finally paid to the member; and no other distribution shall be made on the Default Shares.

  • l) The Company shall be entitled, without the requirement to obtain the consent of any member, to make all such announcements as would be required or permitted under the Takeover Code (if the Takeover Code applied to the Company), notwithstanding that such announcements may make reference to, or contain information about, members or persons acting in concert with members.

  • k) Where shares or other securities of the Company are charged as security for a loan and, as a result of enforcement of such security, the lender incurs an obligation to make an offer under paragraph (b), no such offer will be required if sufficient interests in shares are disposed of within a period of fourteen (14) days to persons unconnected with 68 the lender, so that the percentage of shares carrying voting rights in which the lender, together with persons acting in concert with it, is interested is reduced to below 20% in a manner satisfactory to the Board (in its absolute discretion). In any case where arrangements are to be made involving a transfer of voting rights to the lender, but which do not amount to enforcement of security, no offer under paragraph (b) will be required if the lender satisfies the Board (in the Board’s absolute discretion) that such arrangements are necessary to preserve the lender’s security and that the security was not given at a time when the lender had reason to believe that enforcement was likely. A receiver, liquidator or administrator of a company, or any other insolvency or bankruptcy official, is not required to make an offer under paragraph (b) when he acquires an interest in shares carrying 20% or more of the voting rights in the Company in his capacity as such, but paragraph (b) shall for the avoidance of doubt apply to a purchaser from such a person.

  • n) Where in the opinion of the Board the Company is in such a serious financial position that the only way it can be saved is by an urgent rescue operation which involves the issue of new shares to, or the acquisition of existing shares by, the rescuer, without approval by a resolution of The Board of Directors, and which would otherwise require the rescuer to make an offer pursuant to paragraph (b), the Board may waive the requirements of paragraph (b) in such circumstances provided that either:

  • approval for the rescue operation by a resolution of The Board of Directors on a poll is obtained as soon as possible after the rescue operation is carried out; or

  • some other protection for The Board is provided which the Board considers satisfactory in the circumstances.

If, due to a bona fide inadvertent mistake, a person incurs an obligation to make an offer under paragraph (b), the Board may waive the requirement to make such an offer if sufficient interests in shares are disposed of within a limited period (being a maximum of fourteen (14) days) to persons unconnected with such person so that the percentage of shares carrying voting rights in which the person, together with persons acting in concert with him, is interested is reduced to below 20% in a manner satisfactory to the Board.

In construing this paragraph “ The Takeover Code ”:

  • any decision to be made, or discretion to be exercised, by the Board shall be made or exercised by the Board excluding any director who is (or may be) obliged to make an offer pursuant to paragraph (b) or who is acting in concert with any person who is (or may be) obliged to make such an offer.

20. Related Party Transactions

Save as set out below, from 6 May 2020 (being the Company’s date of incorporation) up to and including the date of this Document, the Company has not entered into any related party transactions.

  • 20.1 Thalassa Subscription, Thalassa Distribution and Convertible Loan Note Instrument

  • a) On incorporation of the Company, Thalassa subscribed for 50,000 ordinary shares of $1 each. On 30 June 2020 the Company cancelled these shares and immediately reissued them to Thalassa as 50,000 Ordinary Shares of no par value. Thalassa subsequently subscribed for 29,950,000 Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Thalassa Subscription Agreement. Immediately following the Thalassa Subscription, Thalassa held 30,000,000 Ordinary Shares.

  • b) Immediately following and as a result of the Thalassa Distribution, Thalassa held 1,973,966 Ordinary Shares.

  • c) Pursuant to the Convertible Loan Note Instrument (further details of which are set out in paragraph 11.4 of this Part XIV, Thalassa made available $350,000 to the Company on the date of the Company’s Admission. Conditional on Admission, Thalassa and the Company have agreed that the amount outstanding and due to Thalassa pursuant to the Convertible Loan Note Instrument will be converted into 334,956 Class A Preference Shares in the share capital of the Company.

20.2 Thalassa Option

  • a) In recognition of the early commitment of Thalassa, and effective on the Company’s Admission, the Company granted Thalassa an option entitling it to subscribe at par value for 5 per cent. of the issued shares of the Company (immediately following the Company Admission and after the exercise of the options, which assumed no other issues of Ordinary Shares) and such further Ordinary Shares as may be issued by the Company in any equity financing transaction (or series of related equity financing transactions) after the Company’s Admission until the 3 year anniversary of the Company’s Admission such that the percentage of the issued shares of the Company (as enlarged by new Ordinary Shares issued) subject to such options being maintained at not less than 5 per cent (the “ Thalassa Option ”). The Thalassa Option was granted for consideration of £1 and the exercise price for the options is US$0.04 per Ordinary Share. The exercise period for the Thalassa Option is 5 years from the date of the Company’s Admission. By written resolutions of the Board dated 15 October 2020, the Board resolved to approve any subscription for shares in the

107

Company pursuant to the exercise of the Thalassa Option granted to Thalassa in accordance with article 142.2 of the Articles. Any such subscription had therefore not triggered an obligation for Thalassa to make a general offer for the entire issued share capital of the Company as might otherwise be the case.

  • b) Thalassa has agreed to waive its entitlement to the Thalassa Option described in paragraph 20.2 (a) above, conditional on Admission, pursuant to the Thalassa Option Waiver.

20.3 Thalassa Warrants

  • a) In recognition of Thalassa’s upfront capital commitment by way of the Thalassa Subscription, the Company executed the Thalassa Warrant Instrument on 15 October 2020 and, which effective on the Company Admission, issued to Thalassa one share warrant for every Ordinary Share Thalassa subscribed for pursuant to the Thalassa Subscription, being 29,950,000 warrants (“ Thalassa Warrants ”). The exercise period for the warrants is 5 years from the date of the Company’s Admission and the exercise price for the warrants is US$0.04 per Ordinary Share. The warrants vested immediately on grant. Pursuant to the terms of the warrants, Thalassa is only permitted to exercise all or any of the warrants, to the extent that, upon any such exercise, at least 25% of the Ordinary Shares will remain in public hands (as defined in the Listing Rules). By written resolutions of the Board dated 15 October 2020, the Board resolved to approve any subscription for shares in the Company pursuant to the exercise of the warrants granted to Thalassa in accordance with article 142.2 of the Articles. Any such subscription had not therefore triggered an obligation for Thalassa to make a general offer for the entire issued share capital of the Company as might otherwise be the case.

  • b) Thalassa has entered into a deed of transfer on 10 December 2021, pursuant to which, conditional on Admission, Thalassa will transfer all of the Thalassa Warrants to the Anemoi Discretionary Trust for aggregate consideration of $345,000 payable to Thalassa on a deferred basis by the Anemoi Discretionary Trust (the “ Warrant Consideration ”). The Thalassa Warrants will be held on trust for the benefit of certain individuals connected to the Company, including the id4 management team (in each case a “ Warrant Allocation ” and each a “ Beneficial Warrantholder ”). Of the 29,950,000 Thalassa Warrants, 23,498,250 are the subject of a Warrant Allocation, with 6,451,750 remaining unallocated.

Each Warrant Allocation vests in a Beneficial Warrantholder as to 50% on Admission and the remaining 50% over up to a 5 year period, subject to id4 meeting the revenue targets set out in the Acquisition Agreement in order to trigger payment of the Deferred Consideration. In the event any Beneficial Warrantholder who is an employee of id4 leaves his employment in the 12 month period following Admission, he shall forfeit any unvested, or vested but unexercised, Thalassa Warrants.

Once vested, each Beneficial Warrantholder is entitled to notify the Anemoi Discretionary Trust that he wishes the trust to exercise the beneficially held Thalassa Warrants which they have been allocated on his behalf, subject to paying the Anemoi Discretionary Trust an exercise price of £0.0415 per Thalassa Warrant (the “ Exercise Price ”). Upon receipt of the Exercise Price, the Anemoi Discretionary Trust shall use £0.03 to fund the exercise price payable to the Company pursuant to the terms of the Thalassa Warrant Instrument and the remaining £0.015 in settlement of the Warrant Consideration. The Exercise Notice shall include the Beneficial Warrantholder’s election as to whether they wish to have the resulting Ordinary Shares issued to him or for the Anemoi Discretionary Trust to sell the resulting Ordinary Shares in the market or receive cash. If the Beneficial Warrantholder elects to receive cash, the transaction shall be carried out on a “cashless exercise” basis and the relevant warrantholder will receive the net proceeds of the sale of the resulting Ordinary Shares, the Anemoi Discretionary Trust having deducted the aggregate Exercise Price. No exercise shall be permissible unless at least 10% of the Ordinary Shares will remain in public hands (as defined in the Listing Rules).

20.4 Thalassa Services Agreement

Thalassa and the Company entered into a services agreement on 27 February 2021 (the “ Thalassa Services Agreement ”) pursuant to which Thalassa agreed to provide, or procure the provision of, certain administrative services to the Company, including accounting services, legal advisory services, regulatory compliance services and certain IT services. The agreement is for no fixed term and is terminable by either party on 12 months’ written notice. The fee for the provision of the services is £10,000 per month, as may be varied from time to time in writing between the parties. Thalassa and the Company have agreed to terminate the Thalassa Services Agreement on Admission.

20.5 Acquisition Agreement

The Company, Apeiron Holdings (BVI) Ltd, Sebastien Lalande, Emmanuel Nay (the “ Sellers ”) entered into the Acquisition Agreement on 10 December 2021, whereby the Company agreed to conditionally purchase the entire issued share capital of id4. The consideration payable by the Company for the Acquisition is £5,333,333 to be fully settled by the issue and

108

allotment of the Consideration Shares to the Sellers. The Consideration shall be payable as to 50% at Completion by the allotment and issue of the Initial Consideration Shares to the Sellers and 50% on a deferred basis by the allotment of the Deferred Consideration Shares (the “ Deferred Consideration ”). Payment of the Deferred Consideration is triggered by id4 achieving aggregate revenue for the financial year ending 31 December 2022 and the immediately following 4 full financial years immediately following Admission (“ Aggregate 5Y Revenue ”) (“ Deferred Consideration Period ”) of £5,321,735 the “ Minimum Revenue Target ”).

If the Aggregate 5Y Revenue is:

  • a) equal to the Minimum Revenue Target, the Sellers will receive £1,333,333 of Deferred Consideration;

  • b) equal to or exceeds £7,095,647 (“ Maximum Revenue Target ”), then the Sellers will receive £2,666,666 of Deferred Consideration; or

  • c) in excess of the Minimum Revenue Target but less than the Maximum Revenue Target, then the amount of Deferred Consideration payable shall be equal to £1,333,333 plus £1,333,333 x ((Aggregate 5Y Revenue - £5,321,734) / (£7,095,647 - £5,321,734)).

Unless the Maximum Revenue Target is achieved during the Deferred Consideration Period, in which case the resulting Deferred Consideration shall be due and payable within 5 Business Days of the Company announcing its results for the relevant financial year in which such target is met, any Deferred Consideration shall be paid within 5 Business Days of the end of the financial year ending 31 December 2026.

The number of Deferred Consideration Shares to be issued in any case shall be calculated by reference to the amount of Deferred Consideration due and payable under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement divided by £0.04.

No Deferred Consideration Shares shall be issued to the Sellers if and to the extent that any such issuance would cause the Company to be in breach of Listing Rule 14.3.2(1) (“ Free Float Ceiling ”). In the event of such a situation arising, the Company has undertaken to do all things necessary to provide a non-voting unquoted convertible preference instrument (“ Preference Shares ”) to be issued to the Sellers on a one-for-one basis in respect of the Deferred Consideration Shares which they would have otherwise received pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement had the Free Float Ceiling not been reached. The terms of such Preference Shares shall be that the Sellers shall be entitled to convert them into Ordinary Shares when:

  • a) they are otherwise able to trade in the Company’s share pursuant to all applicable law and regulation; and

  • b) the Sellers are all able to agree on a number of Preference Shares they individually wish to convert such that they are all able to do so without the Free Float Ceiling being exceeded.

The Company undertakes to do all things reasonably necessary to enable the issuance of Ordinary Shares to take place as soon as reasonably practicable after the Sellers notify it of the number of Preference Shares they have agreed to convert.

Completion of the Acquisition is subject to certain customary conditions for a transaction of this nature being satisfied, including, inter alia, Admission of the Placing Shares and Initial Consideration Shares.

The Warrantors gave certain warranties (including tax warranties) in favour of the Company in relation to, inter alia, its status and capacity to enter into the Acquisition.

The Acquisition Agreement is subject to reciprocal rights of termination of the parties, permitting both the Sellers representative and the Buyer to terminate on certain customary events, including, inter alia, where the other party becomes aware of a material breach of the warranties after the signing date of the Acquisition Agreement, or, where the parties at any time before the Long Stop Date are of the reasonable opinion that the conditions are unlikely to be satisfied.

As described in Part I of this Document, Mr Duncan Soukup is currently a director and (indirectly) a shareholder of both the Company and id4, which as a result, classes the Acquisition as a related party transaction for the purposes of the Shareholder Rights Directive (as amended from time to time). An independent committee of the board of Directors has been constituted to consider all matters in relation to the Proposed Transaction, its members being the Independent Directors.
