Description of the nature of any qualifications in the audit report on the historical financial information
The Company's auditors included a material uncertainty relating to going concern in their audit report for the year ended 30 June 2025. The opinion is summarised as follows:
"We draw attention to note 2.4 in the financial statements, which indicates that the group and company are in a net current and net liabilities position and would therefore require to raise additional funds through equity raises during the going concern period in order to fund operations and to meet its liabilities as they fall due. As stated in note 2.4, the Group have successfully raised £900,000 post year end in August 2025. However, any further fund raising is yet to be achieved and it is possible that the Group may not be able to raise such funds. These events or conditions, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter."
Notwithstanding the material uncertainty disclosed above, the Directors have reviewed the working capital position of the Company for the next 12 months and are satisfied that a clean working capital statement is appropriate taking into account the £1.85m raised via a placing announced on 22 January 2026, the proceeds of which have already been received.

RISK FACTORS
Any investment in the Ordinary Shares is subject to a number of risks. Before making any investment decision, prospective investors should carefully consider the factors and risks attaching to an investment in the Ordinary Shares, the Group's business, and the industry in which it operates, together with all other information contained in this Prospectus including, in particular, the risk factors described below. Prospective investors should note that the risks relating to the Company, the Group and its business, regulation, the Group's industry and the Ordinary Shares summarised in the Summary of this Prospectus are the risks that 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 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 the Summary of this Prospectus but also, among other things, the risks and uncertainties described below. The Directors consider the following risks to be material for prospective investors in the Company. However, the following is not an exhaustive list or explanation of all risks that prospective investors may face when making an investment in the Ordinary Shares. These risks and uncertainties are not the only ones facing the Group.
The order in which risks are presented is not necessarily an indication of the likelihood of the risks actually materialising, of the potential significance of the risks or of the scope of any potential harm to the Group's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Group, or that the Group currently deems immaterial, may individually or cumulatively also have a material adverse impact on its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. If any such risk should occur, the price of the Ordinary Shares may decline, and investors could lose all or part of their investment. Investors should consider carefully whether an investment in the Ordinary Shares is suitable for them in light of the information in this Prospectus and their personal circumstances.
RISKS RELATED TO THE GROUP'S BUSINESS AND STRATEGY
The Group is not currently generating positive cashflow revenue and may not do so in the near term
The Group is a natural resource focused explorer and is currently reliant upon the equity capital markets to provide working capital for the Group.
The future capital requirements of the Company will depend on many factors, including the continuation of its current business, and the Company may need to raise additional funds from time to time to finance its ongoing operations.
Should the Company require additional funding, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Any inability to obtain additional financing, if required, would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. In the event the Company is required to raise additional funding through equity raisings, it is likely that Shareholders' interests will be diluted. In the event that further funding is obtained through debt financing, this may be accompanied by restrictive debt covenants and the granting of a security interest over the assets of the Company.
It is not possible to give any assurance that the Group will ever be capable of generating positive cash flow at the current time. This has resulted in the audit opinion for the year ended 30 June 2025 containing a material uncertainty with respect to going concern, however the Directors are satisfied that the Group has sufficient access to working capital for the 12 months from the date of this Prospectus.
There is typically no reliable liquid market available for the purposes of valuing the Group's early-stage unlisted assets
The Group's assets comprise of assets and interests in the natural resource sector, some of which are unlisted. There is typically no reliable liquid market for unlisted early-stage assets in the natural resource sector and the valuation of such investments involves the Board exercising its judgement. There can be no guarantee that the basis of calculation of the value of the Group's assets and
10
interests reflect the true realisable value of those assets and interests. The internal valuation of the Group's unlisted assets and interests and potential acquisition values will be based upon a blended process of geotechnical review and analysis, financial modelling, consultation of technical sector experts and existing market reference points including the potential future value of commodities. The risk to the Group is if it needs to sell unlisted assets, there may not be a readily available market to monetise its early-stage assets and finding a buyer can take time impacting the liquidity of the company. Whilst the Directors are satisfied that the Group has sufficient access to working capital for 12 months from the date of this Prospectus, in the event that the Group tries to dispose of certain unlisted assets but is unable to do so, it may need to seek additional sources of funding after the working capital period covered by this Prospectus.
There is no guarantee that mineralisation discovered will result in reserves or to become an operating mine
The Group's ability to successfully exploit its exploration assets is influenced by a number of global factors, principally supply and demand which in turn is a key driver of global mineral prices; these factors are beyond the control of the Group. Exploration is a high-risk business and there can be no guarantee that any mineralisation discovered will result in proven and probable reserves or go on to be an operating mine. At every stage of the exploration process, the projects in which the Group has in interest are rigorously reviewed to determine if the results justify the next stage of exploration expenditure ensuring that funds are only applied to high priority targets. In the event that exploration on a particular project is unsuccessful, the relevant assets may have a value of zero.
Exploration and development risks
Mineral exploration and development is a high-risk undertaking. Even if an apparently viable resource is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited. Major expenses may be required to establish ore reserves, to develop metallurgical processes and to construct mining and processing facilities at a particular site.
The future activities of the Company may be affected by a range of factors including geological conditions, failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration and mining, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated operational and technical difficulties, unanticipated problems which may affect extraction costs, industrial and environmental accidents, native title process, changing government regulations, industrial disputes and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment and many other factors beyond the control of the Company.
The success of the Company will also depend upon the Company having access to sufficient development capital, being able to maintain title to its Projects and obtaining all required approvals for its activities. In the event that exploration programs are unsuccessful, this could lead to a diminution in the value of its Projects, a reduction in the cash reserves of the Company and possible relinquishment of part or all of its Projects.
Operating risks
In the event that the Company makes a decision to commence mining activities, there are significant risks in operating a mine and there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to achieve profitable production. In addition, the operations of the Company may be affected by various factors, including failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration and mining, operational and technical difficulties encountered in mining, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment. If the Company was to encounter these issues, it would have an adverse impact on the value of licences concerned and on the Group as a whole
11

Metallurgy risks
Metal and/or mineral recoveries are dependent upon the metallurgical process and, by its nature, contain elements of significant risk, such as:
- identifying a metallurgical process through test work to produce a saleable metal and/or concentrate;
- developing an economic process route to produce a metal and/or concentrate; and
- changes in mineralogy in the ore deposit, such as areas of increased oxidation, can result in inconsistent metal recovery.
Failure to address any of these risks would negatively affect the economic viability of a project.
Environmental risk
The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to Australian laws and regulations concerning the environment. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, the Company's activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or field development proceeds. It is the Company's intention to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws.
The existence of environmentally sensitive areas and requirements for the Company to prepare necessary management plans and obtain additional approvals may impact or delay the Company's ability to carry out exploration or mining activities within the affected areas.
The cost and complexity of complying with the applicable environmental laws and regulations may prevent the Company from being able to develop potentially economically viable mineral deposits.
Although the Company believes that it is currently in compliance in all material respects with all applicable environmental laws and regulations, there are certain risks inherent to its activities, such as accidental spills, leakages or other unforeseen circumstances, which could subject the Company to extensive liability.
Government authorities may, from time to time, review the environmental bonds that are placed on permits. The Directors are not in a position to state whether a review is imminent or whether the outcome of such a review would be detrimental to the funding needs of the Company.
Further, the Company may require approval from the relevant authorities before it can undertake activities that are likely to impact the environment. Failure to obtain such approvals will prevent the Company from undertaking its desired activities. The Company is unable to predict the effect of additional environmental laws and regulations, which may be adopted in the future, including whether any such laws or regulations would materially increase the Company's cost of doing business or affect its operations in any area.
There can be no assurances that new environmental laws, regulations or stricter enforcement policies, once implemented, will not oblige the Company to incur significant expenses and undertake significant investments in such respect which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
Minimum expenditure requirements
In order to maintain an interest in its licences, the Company is committed to meet the conditions under which those licences were granted. The obligations of the Company are subject to minimum expenditure commitments required by Australian mining legislation. The extent of work performed on each licences may vary depending upon the results of the exploration program which will determine the prospectivity of the relevant area of interest. The Company is not currently in breach of its minimum expenditure commitments. There is a risk that if the Company fails to satisfy these minimum expenditure commitments in future, the licences may be subject to forfeiture proceedings by the Australian government authorities.
Native title risk
Native title rights and interests may exist or be asserted over areas covered by the Group's exploration licences. While licences validly granted in accordance with the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) generally provide the holder with the right to conduct authorised activities, the existence or
determination of native title may require the Group to enter into agreements with native title holders or claimants. This may result in delays in obtaining access to land, additional compliance or compensation obligations, or restrictions on certain activities. Any such requirements could increase the Group's operating costs, delay exploration or development programmes, or otherwise adversely affect the Group's operations and the value of its projects.
Aboriginal cultural heritage
The Group's exploration licences may contain Aboriginal cultural heritage sites or objects protected under applicable legislation. The identification of such sites may require the Group to conduct heritage surveys, obtain additional approvals, or modify or restrict planned exploration or development activities. While no known heritage sites have currently been identified that materially impact the Group's planned exploration activities, the discovery of such sites may limit operations in certain areas of the Group's projects, result in delays to exploration programmes, and increase compliance costs.
Title and grant risk
Interests in all tenements in Australia are governed by state legislation and are evidenced by the granting of licences or leases. Each licence or lease is for a specific term and carries with it work program, annual expenditure and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions requiring compliance. Consequently, the Company could be exposed to additional costs, have its ability to explore or mine the Projects reduced or lose title to, or its interest in, the Tenements if licence conditions are not met or if sufficient funds are unavailable to meet expenditure commitments.
If in the future the term of any of the Tenements are not renewed or extended, the Company may suffer damage through loss of the opportunity to discover and/or develop any mineral resources on these Tenements. There is a risk that renewals or extensions might not be granted or might be granted on terms and conditions which are unacceptable to the Company.
The Company has a 100% legal and beneficial interest in E 37/1599, E 37/1600 and E 45/6690, which are each an exploration licence application. There is a risk that applications may not be granted in their entirety or only granted on conditions unacceptable to the Company, or that such grant will be delayed. The applications therefore should not be considered as an asset of the Company. Information in respect of the applications is provided in this Prospectus to provide investors with sufficient information about each in the event such applications are granted.
The Group may face competition from other resource companies as well as third party financiers
When suitable acquisitions are identified, the Group is likely to be in competition with other resource companies as well as but not limited to private equity funds, mezzanine funds, investment banks, equity and non-equity based investment funds, and other sources of financing, including the public capital markets. Of the competition faced, it is likely that some of its competitors will have greater levels of financial resources, thus, they may have lower cost of funds and access to alternative funding sources and structures not available to the Group.
In addition, the risk profile of the Group in relation to its choice of assets may not allow the Group to consider as wide a variety of assets as some of the Group's competitors which may have higher risk tolerances or different risk assessments. This might result in competitors establishing relationships and building their market shares to the detriment of the Group. There is no assurance that the competitive pressures that the Group faces will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations. Also, because of this competition, the Group may not be able to take advantage of attractive opportunities and there can be no assurance that it will be able to identify and complete acquisitions that satisfy its business objectives or that will enable it to meet its acquisition and development criteria.
Whilst the Group has raised capital in £ Sterling, it will incur costs in Australian Dollars and other currencies.
The Group will incur certain costs in Australian Dollars and other currencies, but it has raised capital in £ Sterling. Fluctuations in exchange rates of the Australian dollar and other currencies to which it has been exposed against £ Sterling may materially affect the Group's translated results of operations. In addition, given the relatively small size of the Group, it may not be able to effectively hedge against risks associated with currency exchange rates at commercially realistic rates.
13
Accordingly, any significant adverse fluctuations in currency rates could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition and prospects to a much greater extent than might be expected for a larger enterprise.
The Group may fail to complete further suitable acquisitions
The growth of the Group is dependent on its ability to successfully identify and acquire further suitable assets. The availability of potential assets will depend, inter alia, on the state of the global economy, general business conditions, the availability of alternative sources of finance and financial markets generally. The Group may be unable to identify targets at valuations that the Board believes will deliver sufficient returns for Shareholders. Even if the Group successfully identifies targets, the process remains subject to execution risk and there is no guarantee that acquisitions will complete. The Group can offer no assurance that it will be able to identify or complete acquisitions that are consistent with its strategy or that it will be able to fully deploy its available capital. In such circumstances, the Group will not be able to execute its strategy in full which may have an adverse impact on shareholder value.
RISKS RELATED TO THE GROUP'S RELIANCE ON THIRD PARTIES
The Group's assets and interests may not produce anticipated revenues or returns
Numerous factors may affect the financial performance of an asset or interest held by the Group and, in particular, the quantum of any distribution made to shareholders by the Group, or the ability of the Group to meet its business plan, will be subject to any downturn in its industry or negative economic conditions. Deterioration in any of the Group's Partner's financial condition and prospects may also be accompanied by a material reduction in the asset development completed by the Partners.
The success of the Group's assets and interests will, in part, be based on the accuracy of assumptions regarding the estimates of resources and the production estimates of operators or asset counterparties as well as the Group's ability to make accurate assumptions regarding the valuation, timing and amount of revenues to be derived from the Group's assets.
Until resources are produced, the amount and quality of resources must be considered as estimates only and therefore any value formulated by management is an estimate of market value. Any material change in the amount or quality of reserves may affect the economic viability of the Group's assets or interests. Fluctuation in commodity prices, results of drilling and production and the evaluation of development plans subsequent to the date of any estimate may require revisions of such estimates. The quality and volume of resources and production rates may not be the same as anticipated at the time of investment by the Group. Additionally, production estimates are subject to change, and actual production may vary materially from such estimates. No assurance can be given that any estimates of future production and future production costs with respect to any of the fields or assets underpinning the Group's assets or interests will be achieved and this could have a material impact on the Company's financial position
The Group is largely reliant on third parties for operational activity
The Group has no operational workforce and will be reliant on third party providers and suppliers to provide the services and equipment required for some of, if not all the Group's early-stage work programs and there can be no assurance that such third parties will be able to provide such services in the time scale and at the cost anticipated by the Group. Whilst it is not unusual for early-stage exploration companies to subcontract exploration activity to third parties, absent an operational workforce of its own the Group will be dependent and reliant upon such third parties and may be in competition with other parties for those services, which may impact the Group's estimates of timing and planning of its activities and, in turn, may threaten the ability of the Group to meet minimum work requirements which are conditions attached to its resource licences and concessions.
RISKS RELATED TO THE GROUP'S INDUSTRY
Global supply and demand could affect commodity prices
Commodity prices are influenced by global supply and demand dynamics and are subject to significant volatility. Factors such as changes in global economic conditions, industrial demand, production levels, inventory levels, and trading activity by market participants seeking to secure
14
access to commodities or hedge commercial risks may result in substantial fluctuations in commodity prices.
Any sustained decline in commodity prices could reduce the economic viability of the Group's projects, negatively impact the valuation of the Group's mineral assets and royalties, and adversely affect the Group's financial performance and prospects.
Commodity markets may also be affected by broader geopolitical, regulatory or sovereign developments that influence global supply or investor sentiment. While the Group seeks to mitigate such risks by maintaining exposure to multiple assets, commodity price volatility remains outside the Group's control and may materially affect the Group's operations and returns to Shareholders.
Minerals and currency price volatility
The Company's ability to proceed with the development of its mineral projects and benefit from any future mining operations will depend on market factors, some of which may be beyond its control.
Any future earnings are likely to be closely related to the price of precious and base metals and the terms of any off-take agreements that the Company enters into. The world market for minerals is subject to many variables and may fluctuate markedly. These variables include world demand for minerals that may be mined commercially in the future from the Company's project areas, forward selling by producers and production cost levels in major mineral-producing regions. Mineral prices are also affected by macroeconomic factors such as general global economic conditions and expectations regarding inflation and interest rates. These factors may have an adverse effect on the Company's exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities. If the Company achieves success leading to mineral production, the revenue it will derive through the sale of commodities will expose the potential income of the Company to commodity price and exchange rate risks.
Minerals are principally sold throughout the world in US dollars. The income and expenses of the Company will be taken into account in Australian currency. As a result, any significant and/or sustained fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Australian dollar and the US dollar could have a materially adverse effect on the Company's operations, financial position (including revenue and profitability) and performance. The Company may undertake measures, where deemed necessary by the Board, to mitigate such risks.
The Group's Mineral Interests from time to time will be exposed to risks of changes in government regulation and changing political attitudes and stability in the countries in which they are situated
The Group may from time to time own Mineral Interests where the properties' mining, processing, sales, exploration and future development activities are subject to various laws governing prospecting, mining, development, production, royalties and taxes, export licences, import tariffs, labour standards and occupational health, mine safety, toxic substances, land use, water use, land claims of local people and other matters. The Group also may, in the future, own interests in a number of jurisdictions where the government may seek to be a significant owner of the mineral property or may seek to appropriate the property outright without compensation.
Amendments to current laws and regulations governing operations at the mineral properties from time to time or more stringent implementation thereof could have a substantial adverse impact on the Group's mineral properties from time to time and cause increases in exploration expenses, capital expenditures, production costs, tariffs or taxes or reduction in levels of production at producing properties or require abandonment or delays in development of new mining assets. Additionally, from time to time certain of the Group's Mineral Interests could be statutory rather than contractual and to the extent the statutes applicable to such interests are amended, this could impact the level of payments or other amounts received from the relevant Mineral Interest.
Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations, agreements and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions. Parties engaged in mining operations or in the exploration or development of Mineral Interests may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations.
15
Although the Directors intend that all mining activities in connection with its Mineral Interests from time to time are currently carried out in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations, the Directors may not be able to directly influence such matters and therefore no assurance can be given that its mineral properties' activities will be carried out in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations, or that new rules and regulations will not be enacted or that existing rules and regulations will not be applied in a manner which could limit or curtail production or development of the mineral properties which could have a material adverse effect on the Group's Royalty related income, business, results of operations, financial condition and ability to pay a dividend.
The Group's mineral properties, interests and operations from time to time will require various government approvals, licences and permits, and delays or a failure to obtain, maintain or comply with the terms of any such property rights, permits and licences, could result in interruption or closure of operations, exploration or development on the properties. Many of the mineral rights, interests and agreements of the Group and its mineral properties from time to time will be subject to government approvals, licences and permits. Further, such licences and permits are subject to change in various circumstances. In addition, the granting, renewal and continued effectiveness of such approvals, licences and permits are, as a practical matter, subject to the discretion of the applicable governments or governmental officials. No assurance can be given that the Group and its mineral properties will be successful in maintaining any or all of the various approvals, agreements, licences and permits in full force and effect without modification or revocation. To the extent such approvals are required and not obtained, the Group's mineral properties from time to time may be curtailed or prohibited from continuing or proceeding with planned exploration or development of mineral properties, which could have a material adverse effect on the Group's income, business, results of operations, financial condition and ability to pay a dividend.
Safety, health and environmental exposures and related regulations may expose the Group to increased litigation, compliance costs, interruptions to operations, unforeseen environmental remediation expenses and loss of reputation
The natural resources sector involves extractive enterprises. These endeavours often make the sector a hazardous industry. The industry is highly regulated by health, safety, and environmental laws. The Group's operations may be subject to these kinds of governmental regulations in any region in which it operates including laws regulating the removal of natural resources from the ground and the discharge of materials into the environment. These regulations mandate, among other things, the maintenance of air and water quality standards and land reclamation. They also set forth limitations on the generation, transportation, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous waste. Operations are subject to general and specific regulations and restrictions governing drilling and production, mining and processing, land tenure and use, environmental requirements (including site specific environmental licences, permits and remediation requirements), workplace health and safety, social impacts and other laws. The Group's operations may create environmental risks including dust, noise or leakage of polluting substances from its operations. The Group's mineral properties from time to time may need to address contamination at their properties in the future, either for existing environmental conditions, or for leaks or discharges that may arise from its ongoing operations or other contingencies. Contamination from hazardous substances, either at the mineral properties from time to time, or other locations for which the Group's mineral properties may be responsible may subject the operator and others to liability for the investigation and remediation of contamination, as well as for claims seeking to recover for related property damage, personal injury or damage to natural resources. Non-compliance with any environmental laws or regulations could result in the loss of permits or licences necessary for the operation of the mineral properties. Failing to adequately manage environmental risks or to provide safe working environments could cause harm to the Group's employees or the environment surrounding the operations site. Facilities are subject to closure by governmental authorities and the Group may be subject to fines and penalties, liability to employees and third parties for injury, statutory liability for environmental remediation and other financial consequences, which may be significant. The Group may also suffer impairment of reputation, industrial action or difficulty in recruiting and retaining skilled employees. Subsequent changes in regulations, laws or community expectations that govern the Group's operations could result in increased compliance and remediation costs. Any of the foregoing developments could have a materially adverse effect on the Group's results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
16
Environmental legislation is evolving to mandate stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees.
There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect the Group and its Royalty and stream properties' operations from time to time. There is no guarantee that the Group will not become subject to liability for environmental issues as a party with an interest in a mineral property. Environmental hazards, which are unknown at the present time and which have been caused by previous or existing owners or operators of properties, may exist on mineral properties or the properties on which the Group's mineral properties from time to time hold interests, and such hazards may cause the Group's mineral properties' to incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect upon the Group's income, business, results of operations, financial performance and ability to pay a dividend.
The Group's industrial activities involve a number of operating risks and hazards, many of which are outside of the Group's control.
The Group's assets, interests and acquisitions are or will be, subject to numerous operating risks and hazards normally associated with the development and operation of natural resource projects, many of which are beyond the Group's control. These operating risks and hazards include unanticipated variations in grade and other geological problems, seismic activity, climatic conditions such as flooding or drought, metallurgical and other processing problems, technical failures, unavailability of materials and equipment, interruptions to power supplies, industrial actions or disputes, industrial accidents, labour force disruptions, unanticipated logistical and transportation constraints, tribal action or political protests, force majeure factors, environmental hazards, fire, explosions, vandalism and crime. These risks and hazards could result in damage to, or destruction of, properties or production facilities, may cause production to be reduced or to cease at those properties or production facilities, may result in a decrease in the quality of the products, may result in personal injury or death, environmental damage, business interruption and legal liability and may result in actual production differing from estimates of production. The realisation of such operating risks and hazards and the costs associated with them could materially adversely affect the Group's business, results of operations and financial condition, including by requiring significant capital and operating expenditures to abate the risk or hazard, restore their property or third-party property, compensate third parties for any loss and/or pay fines or damages.
The Group's mineral properties from time to time may be subject to evolving regulations related to climate change
A number of governments or governmental bodies have introduced, or are contemplating, regulatory changes in response to the potential impacts of climate change. Legislation and increased regulation regarding climate change could impose significant costs on the operators of the Group's mineral properties from time to time, including increased energy, capital equipment, environmental monitoring and reporting and other costs required in order to comply with such regulations. If an operator of a Royalty and stream property is forced to incur significant costs to comply with climate change regulation or becomes subject to environmental restrictions that limit its ability to continue or expand operations, the Group's revenues from that property could be reduced, delayed or eliminated.
The Group's assessment and estimation of the amount of reserves recoverable through the asset, interest or acquisition may be more than recovered
The Group may estimate or hire third party experts to estimate an asset, interest or acquisition target's resources and reserves. These estimations are subject to a number of assumptions, including the price of commodities, production costs and recovery rates. Variations in the market realities underlying the Group's or third-party expert's estimates and assumptions may result in material changes to its reserve estimates. Such changes may have a materially adverse impact on the financial condition and prospects of the Group.
17
18
RISKS RELATING TO THE GROUP'S RELATIONSHIP WITH THE DIRECTORS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
The Group is dependent upon the Directors to identify potential assets, interests and acquisition opportunities and to execute the transactions and the loss of the services of the Directors could materially adversely affect it
The Group will rely heavily on a small number of key individuals, in particular the Directors, to identify potential assets and interests and to execute any transactions. The retention of their services cannot be guaranteed. Accordingly, the loss of any such key individual may have a material adverse effect on the Group's ability to identify potential acquisition opportunities and to execute the transactions. In addition, there is a risk that the Group will not be able to recruit executives of sufficient expertise or experience to identify and maximise any opportunity that presents itself, or that recruiting and retaining those executives is costlier or takes longer than expected. The failure to attract and retain those individuals may adversely affect the Group's ability to complete the transactions.
The Directors will allocate their time to other businesses leading to potential conflicts of interest in their determination as to how much time to devote to the Group's affairs, which could have a negative impact on the Group's ability to complete any transactions
None of the Directors are required to commit their full time or any specified amount of time to the Group's affairs, which could create a conflict of interest when allocating their time between the Group's operations and their other commitments. The Directors are engaged in other business endeavours. If the Directors' other business affairs require them to devote substantial amounts of time to such affairs, it could limit their ability to devote time to the Group's affairs and could have a negative impact on the Group's ability to consummate any transactions. In addition, although the Directors must act in the Group's best interests and owe certain fiduciary duties to the Group, they are not necessarily obligated under England and Wales law to present business opportunities to the Group.
Potential claim against a director
An adverse outcome in potential claims relating to Mr Evans' former directorship could adversely affect the Company. The liquidators of RB11 have alleged breaches of duty against the directors (including Mr Evans) in pre-action correspondence and have indicated an intention to pursue claims, although no proceedings have been issued as at the date of this Document. If claims are issued and succeed, Mr Evans could face liability and/or sanctions that may distract management time, damage reputation, and, in a severe case, impair his ability to continue to serve as a director of the Company. While Mr Evans disputes the allegations and intends to defend any claim, there can be no assurance as to outcome or timing. Any such proceedings could therefore have a material adverse effect on the Company's reputation, governance and execution of its strategy.
One or more Director may negotiate employment or consulting agreements with a target company or business in connection with any transactions. These agreements may provide for such Directors to receive compensation following any transaction and as a result, may cause them to have conflicts of interest in determining whether a particular acquisition is the most advantageous for the Group
The Directors may negotiate to remain with the Group after the completion of any transaction on the condition that the target company or business asks the Directors to continue to serve on the board of directors of the combined entity. Such negotiations would take place simultaneously with the negotiation of any transactions contemplated and could provide for such individuals to receive compensation in the form of cash payments and/or the securities in exchange for services they would render to it after the completion of any transaction. The personal and financial interests of such Directors may influence their decisions in identifying and selecting a target company or business. Although the Group believes the ability of such individuals to negotiate individual agreements will not be a significant determining factor in the decision to proceed with any transactions, there is a risk that such individual considerations will give rise to a conflict of interest on the part of the Directors in their decision to proceed with any transactions. The determination as to whether any of the Directors will remain with the combined company and on what terms will be made at or prior to the time of any transaction.
The Directors may in the future enter into related party transactions with the Group, which may give rise to conflicts of interest between the Group on the one hand and the Directors on the other hand
The Directors and one or more of their affiliates may in the future enter into other agreements with the Group that are not currently under contemplation. While the Group will not enter into any related party transaction without the approval of a majority of the non-conflicted Directors, it is possible that the entering into of such an agreement might raise conflicts of interest between the Group and the Directors.
The Directors are or may in the future become affiliated with entities, including other special purpose acquisition vehicles, engaged in business activities similar to those intended to be conducted by the Group
The Directors are or may in the future become affiliated with entities, including other special purpose acquisition vehicles, engaged in business activities similar to those intended to be conducted by the Group, which may include entities with a focus on target companies or businesses similar to those being sought by the Group.
RISKS RELATING TO TAXATION
There can be no assurance that the Group will be able to make returns for Shareholders in a tax-efficient manner
It is intended that the Group will structure the Group, to maximise returns for Shareholders in as fiscally efficient a manner as is practicable. The Group has made certain assumptions, in conjunction with advice from paid consultants, regarding taxation. However, if these assumptions are not correct, taxes may be imposed with respect to the Group's assets, or the Group 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 Group does not envisage the payment of, at least in the short to medium term). In addition, the Group may incur costs in taking steps to mitigate any such adverse effect on the post-tax returns for Shareholders.
RISKS RELATED TO THE GROUP'S LISTING AND ORDINARY SHARES
The New Ordinary Shares will dilute Shareholders' interests. Also, the Company may require future capital which may dilute Shareholders interest.
The Group will issue 600,700,363 New Ordinary Shares in aggregate. The dilutive effect will result in an overall dilution of 24.50% of existing holdings.
The Group may require additional financial resources in the future for further acquisitions after the working capital period covered by this Prospectus. The Group may therefore in the future seek to raise additional funds. No assurance can be given that any such additional financing will be available or that, if available, it will be available on terms favourable to the Group or the Shareholders. Any such fundraising(s) may also have a dilutive effect on existing Shareholders.
A listing on the Equity Shares (transition) category affords investors a lower level of regulatory protection than a listing in the Equity Shares (commercial companies) category
A listing in the Equity Shares (transition) category affords Shareholders a lower level of regulatory protection than that afforded to investors in a company with a listing in the Equity Shares (commercial companies) category, which is subject to additional obligations under the UKLR. A listing in the Equity Shares (transition) category does not permit the Company to gain a FTSE indexation, which may impact the valuation of the Ordinary Shares.
The market price for the Ordinary Shares may be affected by fluctuations and volatility
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 Group and some which affect listed companies generally, including variations in the
19
operating results of the Group, 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 Group's sector and other events and factors outside of the Group'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 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.
Ordinary Shares available for future sale
The Group is unable to predict whether substantial amounts of Ordinary Shares will be sold in the open market following Admission. Any sales of substantial amounts of Ordinary Shares in the public markets or the perception that such sales might occur could materially adversely affect the market price of the Ordinary Shares and the market capitalisation of the Group.
The Group may fail to pay dividends
The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends of the Group are subject to the discretion of the Shareholders or, in the case of interim dividends to the discretion of the Directors, and will depend upon, amongst other things, the Group's earnings, financial position, cash requirements, availability of profits, as well as provisions for relevant laws or generally accepted accounting principles from time to time. As such, there can be no assurance as to the level of future dividends.
20
CONSEQUENCES OF A LISTING IN THE EQUITY SHARES (TRANSITION) CATEGORY
The Enlarged Share Capital will be admitted to the Equity Shares (transition) category of the Official List under to Chapter 22 of the UKLR, which sets out the requirements for companies listed on the Equity Shares (transition) category, and application with be made for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market for listed securities. The Listing Principles set out in Chapter 2 of the UKLR also apply to the Company.
However, while the Company has a listing in the Equity Shares (transition) category, it is not required to comply with the provisions of, among other things:
- Chapter 4 of the UKLR regarding the appointment of a sponsor to guide the Company in understanding and meeting its responsibilities under the UKLR in connection with certain matters. The Company has not and does not intend to appoint a sponsor in connection with the Admission. Companies listed on the Equity Shares (transition) category will not be required to appoint a sponsor unless they wish to transfer their listing to a category which requires the appointment of a sponsor including the Equity Shares (Commercial Companies) category;
- Chapter 6 of the UKLR relating to the continuing obligations for companies admitted to the Equity Shares (Commercial Companies) category, which therefore does not apply to the Company;
- Chapter 7 of the UKLR relating to significant transactions;
- Chapter 8 of the UKLR regarding related party transactions;
- Chapter 9 of the UKLR regarding further issues of shares and dealing in own securities by companies admitted to the Equity Shares (Commercial Companies) category. However, any dealings in the Company's securities are subject to other general restrictions, including those set out in the Market Abuse Regulation;
- Chapter 10 of the UKLR regarding the form and content of circulars to be sent to shareholders of companies admitted to the Equity Shares (Commercial Companies) category; and
- the UK Corporate Governance Code.
Companies with a listing in the Equity Shares (transition) category are not eligible for inclusion in the UK series of FTSE indices.
There are, however, a number of continuing obligations set out in Chapter 2 and Chapter 22 of the UKLR that are applicable to the Company. These include requirements as to:
Chapter 2 – Listing Principles
i) the taking of reasonable steps to establish and maintain adequate processes, systems and controls to enable it to comply with its obligations;
ii) the dealing with the FCA in an open and co-operative manner;
iii) the taking of reasonable steps to enable its directors to understand their responsibilities and obligations as directors;
iv) acting with integrity towards the holders and potential holders of its listed securities;
v) the treatment of all holders of the same class of its listed securities that are in the same position equally in respect of the rights attaching to those listed securities; and
vi) the communication of information to holders and potential holders of its listed securities in such a way as to avoid the creation or continuation of a false market in those listed securities.
Chapter 22 – Continuing Obligations
i) the forwarding of circulars and other documentation to the FCA for publication through the document viewing facility and related notification to a regulatory information service;
ii) the provision of contact details of appropriate persons nominated to act as a first point of contact with the FCA in relation to compliance with the Listing Rules and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules;

PART I
INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY, ITS BUSINESS AND STRATEGY
- Introduction
The Company was incorporated on 11 June 2007 as a public limited company under the name Latam Resources plc and with registered number 06275976. The Company initially remained dormant until it changed its name to Imperial Minerals PLC on 24 April 2010 and was admitted to the Aquis Stock Exchange ("AQSE") (then called PLUS Markets) on 24 November 2010.
On 3 June 2021, the Company was admitted to the Official List (by way of Standard Listing under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules) and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market for listed securities. The Company changed its name to its current name on 21 June 2021.
Following the replacement of the Standard Listing category on 29 July 2024, the Company equity shares have since been listed on the Equity Shares (transition) category.
The Group is focused on building a specialist early-stage natural resource investment and development business. The Group seeks to acquire, develop and manage a portfolio of mineral assets with a particular focus on gold and precious metals, through direct ownership, joint ventures, royalties and minority interests, where appropriate.
The Group's strategy is to pursue a disciplined and selective approach to asset acquisition and development, targeting projects with favourable geological characteristics, clear development pathways and exposure to jurisdictions with established regulatory frameworks.
The Group has strengthened its leadership team through the appointment of a new Chairman and Managing Director, with the objective of aligning governance, corporate capability and capital allocation with the Group's revised strategy.
The strategy is intended to remain targeted yet flexible with a focus on opportunities that can be advanced with modest capital investment and offer the potential for value creation through exploration success, project advancement or strategic transactions.
- Group Strategy
The Group is focussed on building an active and disciplined resource project generator and mineral and royalty company.
Following a review undertaken by the revised board, the Group has divested a number of non-core and legacy assets, enabling capital to be reallocated into mineral exploration and project development opportunities. The strategy is centred on acquiring interests in early stage to advanced exploration assets and advancing them through targeted technical work, while seeking to retain long term upside through carried interests and/or minority equity positions and royalties. This approach provides exposure to potential exploration success and project development while managing capital intensity and risk.
The Group prioritises opportunities in stable and well-regulated jurisdictions, with a focus on projects where active involvement can enhance value. While full ownership is not a requirement, the Group seeks to secure positions of influence within its investments, allowing participation in key strategic and technical decisions and alignment with long term value creation.
The Group's strategy is to acquire and develop assets across the exploration to development spectrum, with the objective of realising value at appropriate stages of the project lifecycle. This may include advancing projects internally, partnering with third parties or monetizing assets through transactions that crystallise shareholder value in a timely manner.
The Directors believe that this disciplined and flexible approach is well suited to current market conditions within the exploration and mining sector. By continuously reviewing and optimising its asset portfolio and capital allocation, the Group aims to respond effectively to changing market opportunities and deliver sustainable long-term shareholder value.

The Darlot West Project
The Darlot West project comprises one exploration license, E37/1396 and Two Exploration licence applications (ELA 37/1599 and ELA 37/1600 covering 60.6Km2, Figure 1 below.
The Darlot West Project is located in the Eastern Goldfields Region of Western Australia. Leinster is approximately 50Km to the west, Leonora is around 100Km south and Leinster is situated 140Km to the south-east. Access is via the Darlot to Yandal road and station tracks.
Geology
Regional Geology
The project is located in the Mt. Clifford to Weebo portion of the Norseman to Wiluna greenstone belt. The regional geology is dominated by northwest trending lineaments and layered sequences comprised of mafic extrusive and intrusive rock with intercalated felsic volcanic rocks.
Regionally, the sequence is intruded by granitoid rocks of tonalite or adamellite composition. Felsic dykes and quartz veins have developed late in the tectonic history. The quartz veins are associated with the introduction of gold mineralising fluids.
Local Geology
An undulating Tertiary clay profile covers parts of the tenement area, ranging in thickness from I-2m to an average of 10m. Recent weathering and erosion has exposed an Archaean derived clay and saprolite weathering zone across the majority of the tenement area, again with an undulating contact zone with Archaean basement rocks. Thickness of this zone varies from no cover to a maximum depth of 79m.
Archaean basement rocks consist of mafic gabbros and dolerites, with felsic granitic to dioritic intrusives. Minor ultramafic lamprophyre and felsic syenite is also found in the tenement area. Gabbro and dolerite are the most common basement rock found in outcrop, although the southwestern portion of the tenement contains outcropping granite bodies.

The Company has completed a rock chip sampling program over Darlot which has shown that historical mining shafts, outcrops and trenches are gold bearing, and metal detecting results have already shown coarse gold does occur on the project, as released in September.
Rock chip results returning over $10\mathrm{g / t}$ included:
65.75 g/t Au (2.11 ounces of gold per tonne)
40.44 g/t Au (1.30 ounces of gold per tonne)
27.23 g/t Au
19.79 g/t Au
15.89 g/t Au
15.40 g/t Au
14.39 g/t Au
13.99 g/t Au
12.66 g/t Au
12.45 g/t Au
10.78 g/t Au
Significant texture in the low-resolution magnetic data, indicates multiple large areas for targeted exploration. High-resolution airborne magnetics survey has been completed with results due shortly.
Crofton Gold Project
The Company holds a $100\%$ interest in the Crofton property, which consists of one exploration licence application E45/6690 covering $57\mathrm{km}^2$ . The Crofton licence covers much of the Boodalyerrie Mining Centre, which has recorded production from 1901 to 1910 of 588.4 ounces gold from 122 tonnes of ore at a reconciled average grade of $150\mathrm{g / t}$ gold
Crofton hosts a large area of hydrothermal alteration within the Yilgalong Granitoid, associated with a suite of prominent quartz veins. Historical exploration has been limited to surface sampling programs of stream sediment, soil and rock chip sampling.
Crofton geology, sample locations and results
Previous soil and rock chip sampling campaigns in 2021 at Crofton have defined new prospects and returned bonanza-grade gold results, up to $253\mathrm{g / t}$ gold and $215\mathrm{g / t}$ silver with visible gold being common in dumps adjacent to historic test pits, as set out in Table 2 below.

Paterson Project
Cloudbreak has acquired a $90\%$ interest in the Paterson Project covering a land area of 888km2 in the Paterson Province of Western Australia, located only 40km southwest of the Telfer Gold-Copper Mine operated by Greatland Gold Plc, set at Figure 3 below.

Figure 3: Paterson Project Tenure (Source: Company Generated)
Tenure
The Project consists of three granted exploration licences E45/5358, E45/5391 and E45/6244 covering a land area of $888\mathrm{km}^2$ .
The ground is contiguous to the west of the Cottesloe base-metal project held by Wishbone Gold Plc.
Regional Geology
The Paterson Orogen is a 2,000km long arcuate belt of folded and metamorphosed sedimentary and igneous rocks that range in age from predominantly Palaeoproterozoic to Neoproterozoic with limited outcrops of Archaean rocks.
The eastern margin of the Paterson Orogen is masked by younger Proterozoic to Phanerozoic sedimentary rocks (Officer and Canning Basins) with sedimentary units of the late Proterozoic Savory Basin on-lapping to the southwest. The main outcropping stratigraphic packages across the bulk of the Paterson Project are the lowermost member of the Mesoproterozoic to Neoproterozoic Yeneena Group, the Coolbro Sandstone, and the Paleoproterozoic Rudall Metamorphic Complex.
Local Geology
The Paleoproterozoic Rudall Metamorphic Complex hosts the Central Tenements surrounding the Kintyre Uranium deposit. At and around Kintyre, the prospective Yandagooge Formation outcrops within the Yandagooge Inlier, consisting of a "basement high" of Rudall Metamorphic Complex surrounded by Neoproterozoic sandstone and Permian glacial tillite. The basement sequence has undergone a minimum of four deformation episodes and is unconformably overlain by Neoproterozoic sandstone and conglomerate deposits of the Yeneena Basin, which have seen at least one major deformation episode.
The dominant host-rock to mineralisation at Kintyre is a garnet-rich, chert-banded, calc-silicate magnetite schistose rock, sandwiched between carbonates and shales of the Yandagooge Formation. These are amphibolite facies metamorphosed rocks, later retrogressively metamorphosed to greenschist facies during or prior to the principal mineralisation phase. Late in syn-D3 or during D4 uranium-bearing, hydrothermal fluids were introduced into the system, depositing pitchblende within northeast dipping dilational zones developed in the S3 cleavage.
In the Kintyre area, the Yandagooge Inlier is surrounded by Coolbro Sandstone, which comprises a thick quartz sandstone sequence with intercalated carbonaceous mudstone and shale interbeds (Jackson & Andrew, 1990). The Coolbro Sandstone, which represents the basal formation of the low-grade metamorphic Neoproterozoic Yeneena Supergroup, exhibits a strong slaty cleavage and has been isoclinally folded and deformed around NW trending axes.
The Central Tenements around the Kintyre deposit are predominantly covered by outcropping northwest-southeast trending, northerly dipping, and folded Coolbro sandstone. Aeolian sand covers areas in the west-central and southeast portions of the tenement. It is believed that these areas are directly underlain by an inlier of the Yandagooge Formation Rudall Metamorphics (Jackson & Andrew, 1990). Rudall Metamorphics outcrop in the west-central area and near the south-eastern corner of the tenement. The north eastern edge of the tenement has outcropping northwest-southeast trending, northerly dipping, and folded Broadhurst Formation.
4. Trends
Current trends affecting the Group are set out below and displayed in Figure 4.
Industry trends
- Demand for gold remains diverse covering investment, central bank reserves, jewellery and other adornments and technological uses. Its diversity continues to result in it having more resilience across economic cycles than other assets due to its long term wealth preservation.

- The gold mining industry has successfully embraced new technologies and operating models in recent years. This has enabled efficiency gains and competitive advantages to be achieved as well as increased social responsibility through greater engagement with local communities including those from indigenous groups
- The gold industry is responding to challenges around trust and transparency by introducing technological solutions. These include traceability methods using blockchain technology and real-time environmental monitoring.
Market trends
During 2025, gold experienced a significant price increase of approximately $64.8\%$ , averaging US$3,446/oz in 2025, with daily fluctuations between US$2,624 (1/1/25) and US$4,534 (26/12/25). Figure 5 below shows the average closing price for each month of the calendar year.

Figure 5 Gold Price Average Monthly Market Close (Source: Market Data)
Key drivers of this increase include:
- Geo-political and economic uncertainty caused, inter alia, by the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East;
- Above average Central Bank accumulation in Q1 with further purchasing during the remainder of the year, Figure 6, with data taken from the links referenced;

- Increase in institutional interest particularly with respect to Exchange Traded Fund; and
- The expectation of interest rate cuts in the second half of 2025 increased gold's attractiveness.
Geographical trends
Australia has experienced a significant upturn in gold exploration activities supported by record investment, technological innovations and positive drill results. Highlights include:
- Gold exploration across Australia rose $7.2\%$ to AUD431.5 million in Q3 2025 compared with Q2 2025 (AUD$402.5M) and significantly over Q2 2024 (AUD297.5M);
- Western Australia remains the dominant hub for domestic mineral exploration activity, accounting for 64 per cent. of Australia's total exploration expenditure in 2024, set out at Figure 7;

7. CREST
CREST is the system for paperless settlement of trades in listed securities. CREST allows securities to be transferred from one person's CREST account to another's without the need to use share certificates or written instruments of transfer in accordance with the CREST Regulations.
The Articles permit the holding of Ordinary Shares in uncertificated form under the CREST system. Application has been made for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to CREST with effect from Admission. It is anticipated that the New Ordinary Shares will be delivered in uncertified form and settlement and dealings will take place through CREST on Admission. No temporary documents of title will be issued.
Accordingly, settlement of transactions in the New Ordinary Shares following Admission may take place within CREST if any Shareholder so wishes. However, CREST is a voluntary system and holders of New Ordinary Shares who wish to receive and retain share certificates will be able to do so.
8. Dividend Policy
The Group intends to pay dividends on the Ordinary Shares and in such amounts (if any) as the Board determines appropriate notwithstanding that the Board may retain future distributable profits
38
from the business, to the extent any are generated, to reinvest to achieve long term capital growth for its Shareholders.
The Group will only pay dividends to the extent that to do so is in accordance with the Act and all other applicable laws.

The Company's auditors included a material uncertainty relating to going concern in their audit report for the year ended 30 June 2025. The opinion is summarised as follows:
"We draw attention to note 2.4 in the financial statements, which indicates that the group and company are in a net current and net liabilities position and would therefore require to raise additional funds through equity raises during the going concern period in order to fund operations and to meet its liabilities as they fall due. As stated in note 2.4, the Group have successfully raised £900,000 post year end in August 2025. However, any further fund raising is yet to be achieved and it is possible that the Group may not be able to raise such funds. These events or conditions, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter."
Notwithstanding the material uncertainty disclosed above, the Directors have reviewed the working capital position of the Company for the next 12 months and are satisfied that a clean working capital statement is appropriate taking into account the £1.85m raised via a placing announced on 22 January 2026, the proceeds of which have already been received.
PART III
TAXATION
Taxation in the United Kingdom
The following information is based on UK tax law and HM Revenue and Customs ("HMRC") practice currently in force in the UK. Such law and practice (including, without limitation, rates of tax) is in principle subject to change at any time. The information that follows is for guidance purposes only. Any person who is in any doubt about his or her position should contact their professional advisor immediately.
An investment in the Company involves a number of complex tax considerations. Changes in tax legislation in any of the countries in which the Group has assets or in the United Kingdom (or in any other country in which a subsidiary of the Company through which an acquisition is made, is located), or changes in tax treaties negotiated by those countries, could adversely affect the returns from the Company to Investors.
Prospective Investors should consult their own independent professional advisers on the potential tax consequences of subscribing for, purchasing, holding or selling Ordinary Shares under the laws of their country and/or state of citizenship, domicile or residence including the consequences of distributions by the Company, either on a liquidation or distribution or otherwise.
Tax treatment of UK investors
The following information, which relates only to UK taxation, is applicable to persons who are resident in the UK and who beneficially own Ordinary Shares as investments and not as securities to be realised in the course of a trade. It is based on the law and practice currently in force in the UK. The information is not exhaustive and does not apply to potential investors:
i) who intend to acquire or may acquire (either on their own or together with persons with whom they are connected or associated for tax purposes), more than 10 per cent., of any of the classes of shares in the Company; or
ii) who intend to acquire Ordinary Shares as part of tax avoidance arrangements; or
iii) who are in any doubt as to their taxation position.
Such Shareholders should consult their professional advisers without delay. Shareholders should note that tax law and interpretation can change and that, in particular, the levels, basis of and reliefs from taxation may change. Such changes may alter the benefits of investment in the Company.
Shareholders who are neither resident nor temporarily non-resident in the UK and who do not carry on a trade, profession or vocation through a branch, agency or permanent establishment in the UK with which the Ordinary Shares are connected, will not normally be liable to UK taxation on dividends paid by the Company or on capital gains arising on the sale or other disposal of Ordinary Shares. Such Shareholders should consult their own tax advisers concerning their tax liabilities.
Dividends
Where the Company pays dividends no UK withholding taxes are deducted at source, Shareholders who are resident in the UK for tax purposes will, depending on their circumstances, be liable to UK income tax or corporation tax on those dividends.
UK resident individual Shareholders who hold their Ordinary Shares as investments, will be subject to UK income tax on the amount of dividends received from the Company.
Dividend income received by UK tax resident individuals will have a £500 annum dividend tax allowance. For the UK tax year 2025/2026, dividend receipts in excess of £500 will be taxed at 8.75% for basic rate taxpayers, 33.75% for higher rate taxpayers, and 39.35% for additional rate taxpayers. For the UK tax year 2026/2027, the ordinary tax rate will rise from 8.75% to 10.75%, and the higher rate from 33.75% to 35.75%. The additional tax rate remains unchanged at 39.35%. For the purposes of determining which of the taxable bands dividend income falls into, dividend income is treated as the highest part of a Shareholder's income. In addition, dividends within the annual

tax-free allowance (the nilrate band) which would otherwise have fallen within the basic or higher rate bands will use up those bands respectively and so will be taken into account in determining whether the threshold for higher rate or additional rate income tax is exceeded.
Shareholders who are subject to UK corporation tax should generally, and subject to certain anti-avoidance provisions, be able to claim exemption from UK corporation tax in respect of any dividend received but will not be entitled to claim relief in respect of any underlying tax.
Disposals of Shares
Any gain arising on the sale, redemption or other disposal of Ordinary Shares will be taxed at the time of such sale, redemption or disposal as a capital gain.
The rate of capital gains tax on the disposal of Ordinary Shares by basic rate taxpayers is 18 per cent. rising to 24 per cent. for higher rate and additional rate taxpayers. UK resident individual Shareholders have an annual exemption, such that capital gains tax is chargeable only on gains arising from all sources during the tax year in excess of this figure. The annual exemption is £3,000 for the tax year 2025/26.
For Shareholders within the charge to UK corporation tax, a disposal (or deemed disposal) of Ordinary Shares may give rise to a chargeable gain at the rate of corporation tax applicable to that Shareholder.
Subject to certain exemptions, the corporation tax rate applicable to its taxable profits is currently 25 per cent. for profits in excess of £250,000, with profits below £50,000 to be taxed at 19 per cent., and a marginal rate on profits between these values. The profit limits are reduced under certain circumstances, with close investment-holding companies not being entitled to the lower rate.
Further information for Shareholders subject to UK income tax and capital gains tax "Transactions in securities"
The attention of Shareholders (whether corporates or individuals) within the scope of UK taxation is drawn to the provisions set out in, respectively, Part 15 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 and Chapter 1 of Part 13 of the Income Tax Act 2007, which (in each case) give powers to HM Revenue and Customs to raise tax assessments so as to cancel "tax advantages" derived from certain prescribed "transactions in securities".
Stamp Duty and Stamp Duty Reserve Tax ("SDRT")
No UK stamp duty or SDRT will be payable on the allotment and issue of ordinary shares.
Most investors will purchase existing ordinary shares using the CREST paperless clearance system and these acquisitions will be subject to stamp duty reserve tax at 0.5%. Where ordinary shares are acquired using paper (i.e. non-electronic settlement) stamp duty will become payable at 0.5% if the purchase consideration exceeds £1,000.
The above comments are intended as a guide to the general stamp duty and SDRT position and may not relate to persons such as charities, market makers, brokers, dealers, intermediaries and persons connected with depositary arrangements or clearance services to whom special rules apply.
Inheritance tax
Shareholders regardless of their tax status should seek independent professional advice when considering any event which may give rise to an inheritance tax charge.
Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by an individual Shareholder will be subject to UK inheritance tax on the death of the Shareholder (even if the Shareholder is not resident in the UK); although the availability of exemptions and reliefs may mean that in some circumstances there is no actual tax liability. A lifetime transfer of assets to another individual or trust may also be subject to UK inheritance tax based on the loss of value to the donor, although again exemptions and reliefs may be relevant. Particular rules apply to gifts where the donor reserves or retains some benefit.

8.8.2. Eligibility to participate: Awards may be granted to employees and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries and, where appropriate, to other eligible participants as determined by the Board.
8.8.3. Satisfaction of Awards: Awards may be satisfied by the issue of new shares, the transfer of treasury shares, or by the use of the market-purchased shares, including through an employee benefit trust in each case in accordance with applicable law and the Investment Association dilution principles, which will be established in due course and will consider factors such as market practice for similar companies as well as seek independent advice.
8.8.4 General: The detailed terms of the incentive plan and any awards granted under it may be refined by the Board and the Remuneration Committee, having regard to market practice for similar companies and, where appropriate, independent advice.
8.9. The Board shall at all times use its reasonable endeavours to keep available sufficient authorised but unissued Ordinary Shares to satisfy the exercise of all Options which the Board has determined will be satisfied by the issue of New Ordinary Shares.
