THIS SECURITIES NOTE, THE REGISTRATION DOCUMENT AND THE SUMMARY ARE IMPORTANT AND REQUIRE YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. If you are in any doubt as to what action you should take you are recommended to seek your own financial advice immediately from an independent financial adviser who specialises in advising on shares or other securities and who is authorised under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (as amended) ("FSMA") or, if you are not resident in the UK, from another appropriately authorised independent financial adviser in your own jurisdiction.

This Securities Note, the Registration Document, and the Summary together comprise a prospectus ("Prospectus") relating to Insight Business Support plc ("Company") prepared in accordance with the Prospectus Regulation Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") made pursuant to section 73A of FSMA. This document has been approved as a Securities Note by the FCA, as competent authority under the Prospectus Regulation (as defined below). The FCA only approves this document as meeting the standards of completeness, comprehensibility and consistency imposed by the UK version of Regulation (EU) No 2017/1129 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2017 on the prospectus to be published when securities are offered to the public or admitted to trading on a regulated market, and repealing Directive 2003/71/EC, which is part of UK law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("Prospectus Regulation"). Such approval should not be considered as an endorsement of the Company that is the subject of this document.

This Securities Note has been issued in connection with the issue of up to 75,000,000 Ordinary Shares of GBP 0.01 of Insight Business Support plc. Applications will be made to the FCA and the London Stock Exchange for all of the Shares of the Company, issued and to be issued, to be admitted to the standard segment of the Official List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market. It is expected that Admission will become effective and that dealings for normal settlement in the Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the Offer will commence on 17 June 2021. All dealings in the Ordinary Shares will be at the sole risk of the parties concerned. The Ordinary Shares will not be dealt in on any other recognised investment exchange and no other such applications have been made or are currently expected.

The Company and its Directors, whose names appear on page 17 of this Securities Note accept responsibility for the information contained in this Document. To the best of the knowledge of the Company and the Directors (who have taken all reasonable care to ensure that such is the case), the information contained in the Document is in accordance with the facts and the document makes no omission likely to affect its import.

This Document does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to purchase or subscribe for Ordinary Shares in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful or would impose any unfulfilled registration, publication or approval requirements on the Company. 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 Securities Act.

RISK FACTORS

Investment in the Company should not be regarded as short-term in nature and involves a degree of risk. Accordingly, investors should consider carefully all of the information set out in this document and the risks attaching to an investment in the Company including, in particular, the risks described below.

The Directors believe that the risks described below are the material risks relating to an investment in the Shares at the date of this Securities Note. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Directors, or that the Directors deem immaterial at the date of this Securities Note, may also have an adverse effect on the performance of the Company and the value of the Ordinary Shares. Investors should review this Securities Note, as well as the information contained in the Registration Document (including the section entitled "Risk Factors"), carefully and in its entirety and consult with their professional advisers before making an application to invest in the Shares.

The proposed 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 on the Official List. A Standard Listing will afford investors 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 have an adverse effect on the valuation of the Ordinary Shares.

The Company may be unable to transfer to a Premium Listing or other appropriate listing venue following an Acquisition

The Company is not currently eligible for a Premium Listing and does not currently intend to seek to transfer to either a Premium Listing or other listing venue. Even if the Company did determine to seek a transfer to a Premium Listing there is no guarantee that it would be able to fulfil the relevant eligibility criteria.

The Company will therefore not be obliged to comply with the higher standards of corporate governance or other requirements which it would be subject to upon achieving a Premium Listing and, for as long as the Company continues to have a Standard Listing, it will be required to continue to comply with the lesser standards applicable to a company with a Standard Listing.

The Beansprout Code imposes corporate governance restrictions on the company that other special purpose acquisition companies do not have, which may in certain circumstances restrict the actions it could otherwise take.

If the Company proposes making an Acquisition and the FCA determines that there is insufficient information in the market about the Acquisition or the target, the Company's Ordinary Shares may be suspended from listing and may not be readmitted to listing thereafter, which will reduce liquidity in the Ordinary Shares potentially for a significant period of time, and may adversely affect the price at which a shareholder can sell them.

Any Acquisition, if one occurs, will be treated as a Reverse Takeover (within the meaning given to that term in the Listing Rules).

Generally, when a Reverse Takeover is announced or disclosed prior to announcement, there will be insufficient publicly available information in the market about the proposed transaction and the listed company will be unable to assess accurately its financial position and inform the market appropriately. In this case, the FCA will often consider that suspension of the listing of the listed

Page 5 of 62


company's securities will be appropriate. The London Stock Exchange will suspend the trading in the listed company's securities if the listing of such securities has been suspended. However, if the FCA is satisfied that there is sufficient publicly available information about the proposed transaction it may agree with the listed company that a suspension is not required. The FCA will generally be satisfied that a suspension is not required in the following circumstances:

a) the target company is admitted to listing on a regulated market or another exchange where the disclosure requirements in relation to financial information and inside information are not materially different than the disclosure requirements under the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules; or
b) the issuer is able to fill any information gap at the time of announcing the terms of the transaction, including the disclosure of relevant financial information in relation to the target and a description of the target.

If information regarding a significant proposed transaction was to be inadvertently disclosed to the market, or the Board considered that there were good reasons for announcing the transaction at a time when it was unable to provide the market with sufficient information regarding the impact of an Acquisition on its financial position, the Ordinary Shares may be suspended. Any such suspension would be likely to continue until sufficient financial information on the transaction was made public. Depending on the nature of the transaction (or proposed transaction) and the stage at which it is leaked or announced, it may take a substantial period of time to compile the relevant information, particularly where the target does not have financial or other information readily available which is comparable with the information a listed company would be expected to provide under the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules and the Listing Rules (for example, where the target business is not itself already subject to a public disclosure regime), and the period during which the Ordinary Shares would be suspended may therefore be significant.

Furthermore, the Listing Rules provide that the FCA will generally seek to cancel the listing of a listed company's securities when it completes a Reverse Takeover. In such circumstances, the Company may seek the admission to listing either simultaneously with completion of any such acquisition or as soon thereafter as is possible but there is no guarantee that such admission would be granted.

A suspension or cancellation of the listing of the Company's Ordinary Shares would materially reduce liquidity in such Ordinary Shares, which may affect an investor's ability to realise some or all of its investment and/or the price at which such investor can affect such realisation.

There is currently no market for the Ordinary Shares, notwithstanding the Company's intention to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange. A market for the Ordinary Shares may not develop, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of the Ordinary Shares.

Since there is currently no market for the Ordinary Shares therefore, investors cannot benefit from information about prior market history when making their decision to invest. The price of the Ordinary Shares after issue can also vary due to a number of factors, including but not limited to, general economic conditions and forecasts, the Company'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, there is no assurance 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.

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

Page 6 of 62


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.

The Company may issue a substantial number of Ordinary Shares to complete acquisitions, which could result in an adverse effect to the value or proportion of voting rights held by existing shareholders.

The pre-emption rights for shareholders contained in the Articles have been disapplied:

a) generally, for such purposes as the Directors may think fit (including in respect of any allotment of equity securities which are, or are to be wholly or partly paid up otherwise than in cash or as consideration for an acquisition), for the issuance of Ordinary Shares in an aggregate nominal amount not exceeding GBP 1,500,000;

b) for the purposes of the issue of securities for cash up to an amount equal to GBP 1,500,000 but subject to the Directors having a right to make such exclusions or other arrangements in connection with the offering as they deem necessary or expedient:

a. to deal with equity securities representing fractional entitlements and;

b. to deal with legal or practical problems in the laws of any territory, or the requirements of any regulatory body, on the basis that the above authorities shall expire at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company, save that the Company shall be entitled to make an offer or agreement which would or might require equity securities to be issued pursuant to those authorities before the expiry of its power to do so, and the Directors shall be entitled to issue or sell from treasury the equity securities pursuant to any such offer or agreement after that expiry date and provided further that the Directors may sell, as they think fit, any equity securities from treasury.

Any issuance of Ordinary Shares may:

a) significantly dilute the value of the Ordinary Shares held by existing shareholders;

b) cause a Change of Control if a substantial number of Ordinary Shares are issued, which may, among other things, result in the resignation or removal of one or more of the Directors; and result in its then existing shareholders becoming the minority;

c) in certain circumstances, have the effect of delaying or preventing a Change of Control;

d) subordinate the rights of holders of Ordinary Shares if preferred shares are issued with rights senior to those of Ordinary Shares; or

e) adversely affect the market price of the Company's Ordinary Shares.

If Ordinary Shares are issued as consideration for an Acquisition or, as it is more likely, for the purposes of raising funds to finance such consideration, existing shareholders will, if necessary, be asked to vote to disapply any pre-emptive rights they have with regard to the securities that are issued (to the extent that the same have not already been disapplied pursuant to the resolutions referred to above or any resolutions that may be passed subsequently). The issuance of such Ordinary Shares could materially dilute the value of the Ordinary Shares held by existing shareholders. Where a target company has an existing large shareholder, an issue of Ordinary Shares as consideration may result in such shareholder subsequently holding a significant or majority stake in the Company, which may, in turn, enable it to exert significant influence over the Company (to a greater or lesser extent depending on the size of its holding) and could lead to a Change of Control.

Page 7 of 62


Furthermore, in the event that the Directors' Options and TSRC Options are all exercised this would mean approximately between a further GBP 130,500 and GBP 250,500 of funding to the Company and also dilute the interests of investors and shareholders by 15 per cent, on the basis of the Enlarged Share Capital upon Admission. Such options can only be exercised after the completion of an Acquisition.

An Acquisition may result in adverse tax, regulatory or other consequences for Shareholders which may differ for individual Shareholders depending on their status and residence.

As no Acquisition target has yet been formally identified, it is possible that any acquisition structure determined necessary by the Company to consummate an Acquisition may have adverse tax, regulatory or other consequences for Shareholders which may differ for individual Shareholders depending on their individual status and residence.

Dividend payments on the Ordinary Shares are not guaranteed and the Company does not intend to pay dividends prior to an Acquisition

To the extent the Company intends to pay dividends on the Ordinary Shares, it will pay such dividends following (but not before) an Acquisition, at such times (if any) and in such amounts (if any) as the Board may determine. The Company's current intention is to retain any earnings for use in its business operations and the Company does not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company will only pay dividends to the extent that to do so is in accordance with all applicable laws.

Changes in tax law may reduce any net returns for shareholders

The tax treatment of shareholders of Ordinary Shares issued by the Company, and any company which the Company may acquire are all subject to changes in tax laws or practices in the UK or any other relevant jurisdiction. Any change may reduce any net return derived by shareholders from an investment in the Company.

RISKS RELATING TO THE BEANSPROUT CODE

The Beansprout Code does not permit new funds to be raised (post Admission to Listing) below the Offer Price to investors, in this Prospectus. In adverse markets, this might make it difficult for the Company to raise additional monies should it wish to do so, and thus may have an adverse impact on making a desired acquisition.

The Directors are not remunerated, and nor are they working full time for the Company. This may lead to possible delays in completing an acquisition.

If no Acquisition is made, or pending, two years after Admission to Listing, the Directors are obliged under the Beansprout Code to put a resolution to shareholders to wind up the Company. If this should happen, shareholders will receive on liquidation significantly less than the value of their original investment. If shareholders vote against liquidation 24 months after Admission, without the Company having made an Acquisition, the Beansprout Code will cease to apply. Once the Beansprout Code no longer applies, then constraints on the use of cash for expenses and fees will not apply, unless the Directors voluntarily decide to continue to abide by the Code. If the Code is not followed, shareholders may face further losses if higher levels of expenses are incurred.

TSRC is the author and overseer of the Beansprout Code. TSRC itself does not have the power to enforce adherence with the Beansprout Code. If the Company or its Directors, prior to making an acquisition, breaches the Code, or cease to follow the Code the Company will be in breach of the terms of the corporate advisory agreement (described in Part IV paragraph 7.4 of the Registration

Page 8 of 62


Document), and the Directors will be in breach of their respective appointment letters (described in Part IV paragraph 5.1 of the Registration Document), requiring each of them to adhere to the Code.

If the breach is minor, then TSRC will seek to have the breach corrected. If the breach is significant, TSRC may notify the FCA if they consider that a statement in this Document regarding adherence with the Beansprout Code may have been misleading, false or deceptive. If so, then the FCA would be able to impose sanctions where statements regarding adherence in this Document are themselves misleading, false or deceptive.

TSRC as the author and overseer of the Beansprout Code, and in its role as Financial Adviser to the Company, has a potential conflict of interest, should the Code be breached. TSRC has a retainer, options and potential fees from advice on an Acquisition which could be lost if the Code is breached and an acquisition is not made. TSRC may not be in a position to take an objective decision which could be at the detriment of the investor should these conflicts of interests materialise.

Insight Business Support plc is the first company formed to comply with the Beansprout Code, and the practical application of the Beansprout Code is therefore untested.

Post-admission trading

The Founder Shares were issued at a price of GBP 0.01 per Ordinary Shares as detailed in paragraph 3 of Part V of this document as compared to the Offer Price of GBP 0.02 per Ordinary Share. The estimated net asset value upon Admission will be between approximately GBP 0.0138 and GBP 0.0158 per share on the assumption that either the minimum or maximum number of Offer Shares is subscribed. The premium to net asset value of between approximately $26.39\%$ and $44.69\%$ per share, places an intangible value on the strategy proposed by the Board and the experience comprised by the Board, as well as reflecting the costs incurred in achieving the Offer and Admission. There can be no guarantee that the Ordinary Shares will be valued on the same basis used for the Offer following Admission and the price of the Ordinary Shares may fall.

Page 9 of 62


CONSEQUENCES OF A STANDARD LISTING

Application will be made for the Ordinary Shares to be admitted to the Official List pursuant to Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules, which sets out the requirements for Standard Listings.

The Company shall, when listed, comply with the Listing Principles set out in Chapter 7 of the Listing Rules at Listing Rule 7.2.1 which apply to all companies with their securities admitted to the Official List. In addition, the Company will also comply with the Listing Principles at Listing Rule 7.2.1A notwithstanding that they only apply to companies which obtain a Premium Listing on the Official List. With regards to the Listing Principles at 7.2.1A, the Company is not, however, formally subject to such Listing Principles and will not be required to comply with them by the FCA.

Listing Rule 14.3 sets out the continuing obligations applicable to companies with a Standard Listing and requires that such companies' listed equity shares must be admitted to trading on a regulated market at all times. Such companies must have at least 25 per cent of the shares of any listed class in public hands at all times and the FCA must be notified as soon as possible if these holdings fall below that level.

The continuing obligations under Chapter 14 also include requirements as to:

  • The forwarding of circulars and other documentation to the National Storage Mechanism and related notification to a RIS;
  • 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;
  • The form and content of temporary and definitive documents of title;
  • The appointment of a registrar;
  • Notifying a RIS in relation to changes to equity and debt capital; and
  • Compliance with, in particular, Chapters 4, 5 and 6 of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

In addition, as a Company with a Standard Listing, it is not required to comply with the provisions of, among other things:

  • 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 on Admission;
  • Chapter 9 of the Listing Rules regarding the continuing obligations that an issuer with a premium listing of equity shares is required to comply with, once its shares have been admitted to the Official List;
  • Chapter 10 of the Listing Rules relating to significant transactions. It should be noted that the Company will not be required to seek Shareholder consent at a general meeting for an Acquisition, which constitutes a Reverse Takeover, unless required by the City Code. Shareholder consent is not required under Listing Rule 10 as the Company is not seeking a Premium Listing;
  • 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 the specific prior approval of a majority of the Directors and (if required by the Act) the approval from shareholders;
  • 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

Page 10 of 62


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

The Company is not currently eligible for a Premium Listing under Chapter 6 of the Listing Rules and does not currently intend to seek to transfer to either a Premium Listing or other listing venue. Should the Company determine to seek a transfer to a Premium Listing there is no guarantee that it would be able to fulfil the relevant eligibility criteria.

It should be noted that the FCA will not have the 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 Document are themselves misleading, false or deceptive.

Subject to certain exceptions, the Ordinary Shares and Options may not be, offered, sold, resold, reoffered, pledged, transferred, distributed or delivered, directly or indirectly, within, into or in the United States, Australia, Canada or Japan or to any national, resident or citizen of the United States, Australia, Canada or Japan.

PART I – INFORMATION ABOUT THE OFFER

1. Description of the Investment

Under the Offer for Subscription a maximum of 75,000,000 New Ordinary Shares, and a minimum of 35,000,000 New Ordinary Shares can be issued to prospective investors at the Offer Price of GBP 0.02 for each Ordinary Share. The gross proceeds of the Offer, conditional upon Admission, are between GBP 700,000 and GBP 1,500,000 subject to commission and other estimated fees and expenses of between GBP 140,440 and GBP 220,440. No expenses are charged to the investor.

After deduction of such fees and expenses the Net Proceeds to the Company will amount to between approximately GBP 559,560 and GBP 1,279,560. If Admission does not proceed, or if the Minimum Subscription is not raised, all subscription monies will be returned to the prospective investors.

The Offer Shares are being made available to investors in the UK, subject to the terms and conditions of application set out in Part VI of this document. The terms and conditions of application should be read carefully before an application is made. Subscribers should consult their independent financial adviser if they are any doubt about the contents of the Prospectus or the acquisition of Ordinary Shares.

Completed Application Forms accompanied either by a cheque or banker's draft or appropriate electronic payment instructions or delivery versus payment (DVP) instructions must be posted or delivered by hand (during normal business hours) to the Receiving Agent, Share Registrars Limited, so as to be received as soon as possible and, in any event, no later than 13.00 on 10 June 2021. If the Offer for Subscription is extended, the revised timetable will be notified through a Regulated Information Service.

Admission and completion of the Offer will be announced via a regulatory information service and is expected to take place at 08.00 on 16 June 2021.

2. Admission, Dealings and CREST

The Offer for Subscription is conditional on the Minimum Subscription being received and on Admission occurring on or before 17 June 2021 or such later date as may be agreed by the Directors and the Company.

Admission is expected to take place and unconditional dealings in the Ordinary Shares are expected to commence on the London Stock Exchange at 08.00 on 17 June 2021. Dealings on the London Stock Exchange before Admission will only be settled if Admission takes place. All dealings in Ordinary Shares prior to commencement of unconditional dealings will be at the sole risk of the parties concerned.

The expected date for electronic settlement of such dealings will be 17 June 2021. All dealings between the commencement of conditional dealings and the commencement of unconditional dealings will be on a "when issued basis". If the Offer for Subscription does not become unconditional in all respects, any such dealings will be of no effect and any such dealings will be at the risk of the parties concerned.

Where applicable, definitive share certificates in respect of the Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Offer are expected to be dispatched by post at the risk of the recipients, to the relevant holders, not later than 18 June 2021. The Ordinary Shares are in registered form and can also be held in uncertificated form. Prior to the dispatch of definitive share certificates in respect of any Ordinary Shares which are held in certificated form, transfers of those Ordinary Shares will be


certified against the register of members of the Company. No temporary documents of title will be issued.

3. Offer for Subscription and Pricing

All Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the Offer for Subscription will be issued at GBP 0.02 per share. Conditional upon Admission occurring and becoming effective by 08.00 on or prior to 17 June 2021 (or such later date as the Company may agree), and on the Minimum Subscription being received, each Subscriber agrees to become a member of the Company and agrees to subscribe for Ordinary Shares on the terms set out in the application form. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Subscribers will not be entitled to rescind their agreement at any time. In the event that Admission does not become effective by 08.00 on or prior to 17 June 2021, (or such later date as the Company may agree) or if the Minimum Subscription is not achieved, the Admission will not proceed, and Subscribers will receive a full refund of monies subscribed.

The rights attaching to the Offer Shares will be uniform in all respects and all of the Ordinary Shares will form a single class for all purposes. The shares being offered by the Company under the Offer have the following rights:

As regards income:

Holders of Ordinary Shares are entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions made, paid or declared by the Company after allotment and issue pari passu and equally with each other and with existing Ordinary Shares.

As regards capital:

On a winding-up or other return of capital, the holders of Ordinary Shares are entitled to share in any surplus assets pro rata to the amount paid up on their Ordinary Shares.

As regards voting and general meetings:

Each Ordinary Share carries the right to receive notice of and to attend and/or vote at any general meeting of the Company.

As regards redemption:

The Ordinary Shares are not redeemable.

As regards conversion:

The Ordinary Shares have no conversion rights.

The Offer Shares are priced at a premium to net asset value (post Offer) of between approximately GBP 0.0067 per share if the minimum number of Offer shares is subscribed, and GBP 0.0044 per share if the maximum number of Offer Shares is subscribed. The net asset value reflects the cash balances of the Company, as the Company has no other assets until an Acquisition is completed. The premium to net asset value places an intangible value on the strategy proposed by the Board and the experience comprised by the Board, as well as reflecting the costs incurred in achieving the Offer for Subscription and Admission. The net asset value at the last interim balance sheet, prior to this Offer was GBP 0.0094 per share.

4. Payment

Each Subscriber will pay the Offer Price for the Offer Shares to the Receiving Agent's bank account as set out in PART VI – Terms and Conditions of the Offer on page 41. Liability (if any) for stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax is as described in PART II - 4. Stamp Duty and Stamp Duty Reserve Tax ("SDRT") on page 24. If Admission does not occur, Offer monies will be returned to each Subscriber without interest by the Company.

Page 20 of 62


Page 21 of 62

5. Use of Proceeds

The Net Proceeds of the Offer will be used to pay the legal, advisory fees and regulatory fees of the Offer for Subscription and Admission. It is the Company's intention is to use the balance of Net Proceeds to fund the working capital of the Company, and the due diligence, professional fees and other transaction costs in respect of an Acquisition in the support services sector. The due diligence will include a legal, financial, technical and operational evaluation of the Acquisition.

The Minimum Net Proceeds should be sufficient to carry out the required due diligence but may be insufficient to facilitate the Company's ability to provide additional working capital to the Acquisition. If the Offer achieves the Maximum Net Proceeds, the Company should have the resources to provide additional capital to assist the development of the Acquisition and/or seek a further Acquisition.

6. Reasons for the Offer and use of proceeds

The Offer is being made to provide the Company with the resources to undertake its strategy of making an acquisition.

The current resources of the Company are GBP -7,297. Following the Offer the Company is of the opinion that taking into account the Minimum Net Proceeds, together with the remaining Founders' subscription the resources available to the Company will be GBP 601,275 and are, for at least the next twelve months from the date of the document, sufficient for its present requirements to undertake the search, review and due diligence required for the Acquisition and to fund the costs, including professional fees, of readmission. The Net Proceeds available to the Company will be between GBP 559,560 and GBP 1,279,560 depending on how many of the Offer Shares are taken up by subscribers. The Directors intend that the Net Proceeds available to the Company will be used to fund the due diligence and other costs in respect of the Acquisition, including legal, technical and operational evaluation.

As any Acquisition will constitute a Reverse Takeover, this will require professional advisors to be engaged including lawyers, accountants and financial advisers. The Directors intend the Company's operations to remain small with low overheads and prior to completing an Acquisition.

As the Company has committed to following the Beansprout Code, expenditure on general overhead costs (as opposed to the costs of identifying and proceeding with an Acquisition) is limited to the higher of GBP 150,000 and 20% of all funds raised up to the initial admission and listing. The Company will have no employees. Post-Acquisition any remaining funds will be used for the general corporate purposes of the new business.]

7. Selling Restrictions

The Ordinary Shares will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the USA and may not be taken up, offered, sold, resold, transferred, delivered or distributed, directly or indirectly, within into or in the US.

The Offer is being made by means of offering New Ordinary Shares to investors in the UK. The Company has not been and will not be registered under the US Investment Company Act, and Investors will not be entitled to the benefits of that Act.

Certain restrictions that apply to the distribution of this document and the Ordinary Shares being issued pursuant to the Offer in certain jurisdictions are described in PART IV - NOTICE TO INVESTORS on page 34 of this document.

8. Transferability

The Company's Ordinary Shares are freely transferable and tradable and there are no restrictions on transfer, other than the conditions imposed by lock in arrangements.

PART II – TAXATION

The following section is a summary guide to certain aspects of taxation 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 or advice. Any person who is in any doubt as to his/her tax position, or who is subject to taxation in any jurisdiction other than that of the UK, should consult his/her tax advisers.

  1. Taxation in the UK

The following summary is intended as a general guide only and 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 doubt as to his/her tax position, or who is resident or otherwise subject to taxation in a jurisdiction outside the UK, should consult his/her tax advisers immediately.

  1. Taxation of Dividends

Any UK resident and domiciled Shareholder who receives a dividend paid by the Company will be liable to UK income tax on the gross amount of any such dividend. Dividend income from the Company will be treated as forming the highest part of a Shareholder's income.

For dividend income up until 6th April 2021 the income tax rates are 7.5% on the basic rate tax band, 32.5% on income within the higher rate band and 38.1% on dividend income within the additional rate band. A dividend allowance means that no tax is paid on the first £2,000 of dividend income. Other income is taxed first, then savings income and finally dividend income.

UK resident individuals who are not domiciled in the UK and currently pay tax on a remittance basis, will be taxed on dividends paid by the Company, but only if they are remitted to the UK.

Individual shareholders who are not resident in the UK for tax purposes should consult their own advisers concerning their tax liabilities on dividends received.

Shareholders who are within the charge to UK corporation tax will be subject to corporation tax on dividends paid by the Company, unless the dividends fall within an exempt class and certain other conditions are met. Whether an exempt class applies and whether the other conditions are met will depend on the circumstances of the particular shareholder, although it is expected that the dividends paid by the Company would normally be exempt.

  1. Chargeable Gains

For the purpose of UK tax on chargeable gains, the amounts paid by a shareholder for New Ordinary Shares will generally constitute the base cost of his/her holdings in each type of security. If a shareholder who is resident in the UK (for UK tax purposes) disposes of all or some of his/her New Ordinary Shares, a liability to tax on chargeable gains may arise. This will depend on the base cost which can be allocated against the proceeds, the shareholder's circumstances and any reliefs to which they are entitled.

The current rate of capital gains tax for individuals liable to income tax at the higher or additional rate is 20 per cent. Individuals whose taxable income for the year in question is less than the upper limit of the basic rate income tax band (£50,000 for 2020/21) are subject to capital gains tax at the rate of 10 per cent, except to the extent that the aggregate of their total taxable income and chargeable gains (less allowable deductions) in that year exceeds the upper limit of the basic rate income tax band. Any such excess over the upper limit is subject to tax at the rate of 20 per cent. For

Page 23 of 62


trustees and personal representatives, the rate of capital gains tax is 20 per cent. Corporate shareholders suffer tax on capital gains at the prevailing rate of corporation tax applicable to them (currently up to 19 per cent). In certain circumstances a corporate shareholder may qualify for the substantial shareholding exemptions, which exempt certain gains from corporation tax on chargeable gains.

Shareholders who are not resident in the UK for tax purposes may not, depending on their personal circumstances, be liable to UK taxation on chargeable gains arising from the sale or other disposal of their New Ordinary Shares (unless they carry on a trade, profession or vocation in the UK through a branch or agency or, in the case of a company, a permanent establishment with which their New Ordinary Shares are connected).

Individual shareholders or holders who are temporarily neither UK resident nor ordinarily resident may be liable to UK capital gains tax on chargeable gains realised on their return to the UK.

4. Stamp Duty and Stamp Duty Reserve Tax ("SDRT")

The statements below are intended as a general guide to the current position. They do not apply to certain intermediaries who are not liable to stamp duty or SDRT, or to persons connected with depository arrangements or clearance services, who may be liable at a higher rate.

In relation to stamp duty and SDRT:

a. The allocation and issue of the New Ordinary Shares will not give rise to a liability to stamp duty or SDRT;

b. Any subsequent conveyance or transfer on sale of Shares will usually be subject to stamp duty on the instrument of transfer at a rate of 0.5 per cent of the amount or value of the consideration (rounded up, if necessary, to the nearest £5). An exemption from stamp duty is available on an instrument transferring shares where the amount or value of the consideration is £1,000 or less, and it is certified on the instrument that the transaction effected by the instrument does not form part of a larger transaction or series of transactions in respect of which the aggregate amount or value of the transaction exceeds £1,000. A charge to SDRT at the rate of 0.5 per cent will arise in relation to an unconditional agreement to transfer such shares. However, where within six years of the date of the agreement (or, if the agreement was conditional, the date the agreement became unconditional) an instrument of transfer is executed pursuant to the agreement and stamp duty is paid on that instrument, any liability to SDRT will be cancelled or repaid; and

c. A transfer of shares effected on a paperless basis through CREST (where there is a change in the beneficial ownership of the shares) will generally be subject to SDRT at the rate of 0.5 per cent of the value of the consideration given.

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 Prospectus 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/her tax position or where he/she is resident, or otherwise subject to taxation, in a jurisdiction other than the UK, should consult his/her professional adviser.

3.5. The Directors and Founder shareholders are locked-in under the Beansprout Code until six months after an acquisition is completed.

4. Takeovers

City Code

4.1. The City Code applies to the Company. Under Rule 9 of the City Code, if:

4.1.1. a person acquires, whether by a series of transactions over a period of time or not, an interest in shares in the Company which, when taken together with shares already held by him or persons acting in concert with him, carry 30 per cent. or more of the voting rights in the Company; or

4.1.2. a person who, together with persons acting in concert with him, is interested in not less than 30 per cent and not more than 50 per cent of the voting rights in the Company acquires additional interests in shares which increase the percentage of shares carrying voting rights in which that person is interested,

the acquirer and, depending upon the circumstances, his concert parties, would be required (except with the consent of the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers) to make a cash offer for the outstanding shares in the Company at a price not less than the highest price paid for any interests in the Ordinary Shares by the acquirer or his concert parties during the previous 12 months.

Squeeze out rules

4.2. Under the Companies Act, an offeror in respect of a takeover offer for the Company has the right to buy out minority shareholders (holders of shares to which the offer relates, who have not accepted the offer), once the offeror has acquired (or unconditionally contracted to acquire) not less than 90 per cent of the shares to which the offer relates, within certain time limits and subject to serving requisite notices upon such minority shareholders. The consideration offered to shareholders whose shares are compulsorily acquired under the Companies Act must, in general, be the same as the consideration that was available under the takeover offer.

Sell out rules

4.3. Under the Companies Act, where a takeover offer relates to all the shares in a company, any holder of shares to which the offer relates who has not accepted the offer can require the offeror to acquire those shares if, at any time before the end of the period within which the offer could be accepted, the offeror has acquired (or unconditionally contracted to acquire) not less than 90 per cent of the shares to which the offer relates, within certain time limits and subject to the service of requisite notices. The offeror is required to give any shareholder notice of his right to be bought out, within one month of that right arising.

Page 28 of 62


If a Shareholder exercises his rights, the offeror is bound to acquire those shares on the terms of the offer or on such other terms as may be agreed.

Public takeover bids

4.4. There have been no public takeover bids for the Company since its incorporation.

5. Additional financial information

Working capital

5.1. The Company is of the opinion that, taking into account the Minimum Net Proceeds, the working capital available to the Company is, for at least the next twelve months from the date of this document, sufficient for its present requirements.

Sources of cash, liquidity and cash uses

5.3. The Company has not yet commenced operations.


The Company's initial source of cash was subscribed by the Founders and, following the Offer, will be the Net Proceeds of the Offer for Subscription. It will use such cash to fund the ongoing costs and expenses, and the costs and expenses to be incurred in connection with seeking to identify and complete an Acquisition.

The Company expects to incur further costs for due diligence on target companies and businesses, and legal and other professional fees if it completes an Acquisition.

Consideration for and acquisition will be new shares issued by the Company, and the Company will therefore issue a substantial number of New Ordinary Shares.

6. Beansprout Code.

TSRC as the author and overseer of the Beansprout Code, and in its role as Financial Adviser to the Company has a potential conflict of interest, should the Code be breached. Insight Business Support plc is the first company formed to comply with the Beansprout Code, and the practical application of the Beansprout Code is therefore untested.

7. Litigation

There are no governmental, legal or arbitration proceedings (including any such proceedings which are pending or threatened of which the Company is aware) since incorporation which may have or have had in the recent past a significant effect on the financial position or profitability of the Company.

8. Related Party Transactions

In the period since the date of incorporation up to the date of this document, the Company has not entered into any related party transactions, save for (i) the issue of the Options described in paragraph 7.7 of Part IV of the Registration Document; and (ii) a loan of up to £17,000 from Jon Pither (as described in paragraph 7.9 of Part IV of the Registration Document) which will be repaid from the Net Proceeds.

9. General

a. There are no governmental, legal or arbitration proceedings (including any such proceedings which are pending or threatened of which the Company is aware) since incorporation which may have or have had in the recent past significant effects on the Company's financial position or profitability.

b. The Company does not conduct research and development but may acquire this function as part of an Acquisition. Further there are no patents or other intellectual property rights, licences or particular contracts which are of fundamental importance to the Company's business. As a consequence, the Company does not engage any technical staff other than the Directors.

c. There are no significant investments made, none are in progress and, so far as the Company is aware, none are proposed other than the Reverse Takeover relating to the potential Acquisition.

d. The Company has not had any employees since its incorporation and does not own any premises.

e. No exceptional factors have influenced the Company's activities.

f. TSRC is acting as financial adviser to the Company in relation to the Admission and has given and not withdrawn its consent to the inclusion in this document of its name and references to it in the form and context in which they appear.

g. The expenses of the Admission to Official List are estimated at a maximum of GBP 210,440 and a minimum of GBP 130,440 including VAT and are payable by the Company.

4. Intermediaries Offer

Investors may also subscribe for Shares at the Issue Price pursuant to the Intermediaries Offer

Only the investor clients of intermediaries resident in the United Kingdom are eligible to participate in the Intermediaries Offer. No Shares will be allocated under the Intermediaries Offer will be registered in the name of any person whose registered address is outside the United Kingdom.

An application for Shares in the Intermediaries Offer means that the underlying applicant agrees to acquire the Shares applied for at the Issue Price. Each underlying applicant must comply with the appropriate money laundering checks required by the relevant Intermediary and all other laws and regulations applicable to their agreement to subscribe for Shares. Where an application is not accepted or there are insufficient Shares available to satisfy an application in full, the relevant Intermediary will be obliged to refund the underlying Applicant as required and all such refunds shall be made without interest. The Company accept no responsibility with respect to the obligation of the Intermediaries to refund monies in such circumstances. In making an application, each Intermediary will also be required to represent and warrant that they are not located in the United States and are not acting on behalf of anyone located in the United States.

In addition, the intermediaries may prepare certain materials for distribution or may otherwise provide information or advice to investors in the United Kingdom. Any such materials, information or advice are solely the responsibility of the relevant intermediary and will not be reviewed or approved by any of the Company or TSRC. Any liability relating to such documents shall be for the relevant Intermediaries only.

All expenses incurred by an intermediary are for its own account. Investors should confirm separately with any Intermediary whether there are any commissions, fees or expenses that will be applied by such intermediary in connection with any application made through that Intermediary pursuant to the Intermediaries Offer.

The publication of the Prospectus and any actions of the Company, TSRC, the intermediaries or other persons in connection with the Offer should not be taken as any representation or assurance as to the basis on which the number of Shares to be offered or allocations between applications in the Offer (from intermediaries or otherwise) will be determined and any such actions or statements are hereby disclaimed by the Company, TSRC and the intermediaries.

2.1.5 agrees, in respect of applications for Ordinary Shares in certificated form (or where the Receiving Agent exercises its discretion pursuant to paragraph 2.1.4 of this paragraph 2.1 to issue Ordinary Shares in certificated form), that any share certificate to which you or, in the case of joint applicants, any of the persons specified by you in your Application Form may become entitled (and any monies returnable to you) may be retained by the Receiving Agent:

Page 40 of 62

3.3 The Receiving Agent will present all cheques and bankers’ drafts for payment on receipt and will retain documents of title and surplus monies pending clearance of successful applicants’ payment.

No application will be accepted if it shows the applicant or a payor having an address in the United States, Canada, Japan, the Republic of South Africa or Australia (subject to limited exceptions).

Page 45 of 62


for the purposes of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129. Accordingly, the Offer Shares may only be offered to persons in any EEA member state who are “qualified investors” within the meaning of the EU Prospectus Regulation or in other circumstances in which a prospectus is not required by the EU Prospectus Regulation.

The distribution of this prospectus in other jurisdictions may be restricted by law and therefore persons into whose possession this prospectus comes should inform themselves about and observe any such restrictions.

Any such materials, information or advice are solely the responsibility of the relevant Intermediary and will not be reviewed or approved by any of the Company or TSRC. Any liability relating to such documents shall be for the relevant intermediaries only.

All expenses incurred by an intermediary are for its own account. Investors should confirm separately with any intermediary whether there are any commissions, fees or expenses that will be applied by such intermediary in connection with any application made through that intermediary pursuant to the Intermediaries Offer.

The publication of the Prospectus and any actions of the Company, TSRC, the Intermediaries or other persons in connection with the Issue should not be taken as any representation or assurance as to the basis on which the number of Shares to be offered under the Issue or allocations between applications in the Issue (from Intermediaries or otherwise) will be determined and any such actions or statements are hereby disclaimed by the Company, TSRC and the intermediaries.
