Performance rights

The Company also confirms it has issued 1,250,000 ordinary shares to satisfy the unconditional
vesting of the third and final tranche of the Performance Rights issued to certain Non-Executive
Directors on 29 March 2021, being the third anniversary of admission to trading on AIM. The previous
two tranches were announced on 15 April 2019 and 7 April 2020.

Consistent with the previous two tranches, the following is the breakdown of the ordinary shares
issued under the Performance Rights:

                                         Number of Shares               Amount to be paid
David Hathorn                                    500,000                      US$500.00
David Netherway                                  250,000                      US$250.00
Jonathan Trollip                                      250,000                      US$250.00
Timothy Keating                                       250,000                      US$250.00
Total                                               1,250,000                     US$1,250.00


Accordingly, a total of 2,353,296 ordinary shares of US$0.001 each (being 1,103,296 ordinary
shares in respect of Directors Remuneration Shares and 1,250,000 ordinary shares in respect of
Performance Rights as detailed above) have today been issued. Application has been made for the
admission of 2,353,296 ordinary shares of US$0.001 each on AIM, the Johannesburg Stock
Exchange and the Australian Securities Exchange with admission expected to take place on
Wednesday 14 April 2021.

For ASX’s purposes, and having previously obtained shareholder approvals for the issues, the
shares are issued under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 (Remuneration Shares) and 10.14 (Performance
Rights) respectively.

Following this issue, the Company's issued share capital consists of 2,454,121,469 ordinary shares.
No shares are held in treasury. Accordingly, the total number of voting rights in the Company
is 2,454,121,469.

The above figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which
they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in,
the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency
Rules.

Cancellation of certain Performance Rights and Options

Following the determination by the Company that the applicable vesting conditions within each
category would not be achieved, a total of 7,500,000 Performance Rights and Unlisted Options
previously issued have been cancelled as follows:

                                                                                         Number of

Performance Rights expiring 1 March 2021 (Directors) (KP2AC)                             4,500,000
