Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for 2,605,195 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on the AIM market with admission expected to occur on or around 9 September 2019 ("Admission"). The issued new Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares.

Following Admission of the new Ordinary Shares, the issued ordinary share capital of Panthera will consist of 75,210,751 Ordinary Shares.

For the purposes of the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules ("DTRs"), the issued Ordinary Share capital of Panthera following this allotment consists of 75,210,751 Ordinary Shares with voting rights attached (one vote per share). There are no shares held in treasury. This total voting rights figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine whether they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, Panthera under the DTRs.

Geoff Stanley, Managing Director said "By choosing to take half of their fees and wages in shares, directors and the service providers have effectively elected to use half of their remuneration to purchase shares at market prices prevailing at the time their fees were due. While designed to minimise the Company's cash expenditures, it is immensely gratifying to see this clear message of support and confidence in Panthera's prospects."
