The audit report for the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 contained an emphasis of matter highlighting that a material uncertainty exists in relation to the Group's need for additional equity or nondilutive funds in the medium term to support its operations that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The auditors' opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. There are no qualifications in the audit opinion on historical financial information for the year ended on 31 December 2020, which is incorporated by reference.
As a result of the publication of the 2020 Annual Report, paragraph 11 entitled "Significant Change" on page 55 of the Prospectus is hereby updated and superseded by the following:
"Other than the Company issuing (i) the First Tranche under the Mint Subscription Agreement; (ii) 7,741,935 Ordinary Shares to Cazadores Investments Limited in settlement of an arrangement fee due in connection with the Facility; and (iii) 81,815,576 Ordinary Shares to Mint Capital Advisors Ltd, following conversions of Convertible Loan Notes with an aggregate principal amount of £3,400,000, there has been no significant change in the financial position or financial performance of the Group since 31 December 2020, being the end of the last financial period for which audited financial information has been published."
In accordance with Prospectus Regulation Rule 3.4.1 and Article 23 of the UK Prospectus Regulation, where a supplementary prospectus has been published and, prior to publication, a person has agreed to purchase or subscribe for securities to which the supplementary prospectus relates, that have not yet been delivered to the investor at the time of publication of the supplementary prospectus, they may withdraw their acceptance before the end of the period of two working days beginning with the first working day after the date on which the supplementary prospectus is published.
