PART I

KEY INFORMATION

The following information is derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the full text ofthis document and prospective investors should read the whole document and not just rely onthe key information set out below. In particular, attention is drawn to Part III of this documentwhich is entitled “Risk Factors”.

appScatter● appScatter is a B2B SaaS platform that allows clients to distribute and manage apps on multiple app

stores

● After more than three years in research and development, appScatter has been revenue generatingsince January 2017. In the five month period ended 31 May 2017, the Group had invoiced salestotalling approximately £0.7 million

● In addition to over 800 Paying Users as at 31 July 2017, appScatter had, as at that same date, over8,000 businesses and individuals, who have registered their interest in using appScatter post launchvia appScatter’s self-service web portal. The number of registrations of interest, from businessesspanning from individuals to SMEs and multinational blue chip enterprises, is currently increasing daily

● As at 31 July 2017, appScatter is tracking, on a daily basis, over 842 million app URLs from 7.2 millionapps whilst monitoring 1.7 million active app publishers

● The Directors believe that there are currently no direct competitors to appScatter that offer a similarbreadth of tools to those offered by appScatter. There are companies which offer some of the servicesprovided by appScatter but these competitors typically cover only a handful of app stores and withonly a portion of the services offered by appScatter

The Market● There are estimated to be in excess of 300 legitimate app stores worldwide

● appScatter has grouped these app stores into four main categories: Device Platforms; WirelessCarriers; Device Manufacturers; and Independents

● Whilst the Apple App Store and Google Play app stores are currently estimated to account for acombined 85 per cent. of US downloads, the Apple App Store and Google Play account for as littleas 62 per cent. of EU downloads in the top five countries (UK, Germany, France, Spain and Italy) andonly 24 per cent. of downloads in China

● Accessing more than just the most popular app stores can greatly increase market penetration forcommercial and other enterprises but requires significant effort on behalf of app developers andpublishers to register, monitor and manage each app store used and draw holistic analysis ofdownloads across multiple stores

Admission● The Company has conditionally raised £9.0 million, before expenses (£7.8 million net of expenses)

through the Placing of 13,846,154 Placing Shares at 65 pence per Placing Share

● The Placing Shares will represent approximately 21.9 per cent. of the Enlarged Share Capital onAdmission

● Following Admission, appScatter intends to launch the public version of the appScatter Platform, atwhich point the Platform will be available to all, including the app developers and publishers worldwidethat are already registered via the Platform’s self-service web portal

● The Company has received EIS/VCT advanced assurance from HMRC for up to £5 million ofinvestment

PART II

INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY AND THE GROUP

1. IntroductionappScatter is a scalable B2B SaaS platform that allows Paying Users to distribute their apps to, and managetheir apps on, multiple app stores. Additionally, the centralised Platform enables app developers andpublishers to manage and track performance of their own and competing apps across all of the app storeson the Platform. As at 31 July 2017, appScatter had over 8,000 Registered Users and was generatingrevenue from over 800 Paying Users managing over 3,000 apps.

Following Admission, appScatter intends to launch the public version of the Platform, at which point thePlatform will be available to all app developers and publishers worldwide.

appScatter operates a freemium model through which Registered Users can choose to become payingcustomers for a monthly subscription based on the number of seats and apps under management; akin tothe pricing models of similar SaaS-based tools. In the future, appScatter expects to derive additionalrevenues from the appScatter Marketplace through the cross-sale of APIs that integrate the Platform withbest of breed workflow tools, for example, Xero, the ERP accounting software platform, to enable apppublishers to collate billing data and reconcile app revenues.

Given the volume of data within the Platform (historical and current), appScatter is also exploring ways tomonetise this data in the future, which is expected to provide additional potential future opportunities forthe Group.

2. App Store LandscapeThere are more app stores than the Apple App Store and Google Play – there are hundreds of app storesworldwide. Based upon research by WPP’s Kantar, App Annie and Talking Data, whilst the Apple App Storeand Google Play app stores are currently estimated to account for a combined 85  per cent. of USdownloads, the Apple App Store and Google Play account for as little as 62 per cent. of EU downloads inthe top five countries (UK, Germany, France, Spain and Italy) and only 24 per cent. of downloads in China.It is estimated that over 50 per cent. of all downloads are via alternative app stores.

appScatter has grouped app stores into four main categories: Operating Systems (Device Platforms); WirelessCarriers; Device Manufacturers; and Independents and smartphones have one or more app store installed –even in some relatively mature western markets for Google Play and the Apple App Store such as the UK.

3. History of appScatterPhilip Marcella is the founder and CEO of the Company. He is an experienced programmer who began hiscoding career in the mid-1980s. In 1996 he set up his first company, which became RMR Plc. Initially a webdevelopment company, RMR specialised in web conferencing. In 2000, RMR was admitted to the AIMmarket of the London Stock Exchange with a £64 million valuation.

After leaving RMR in 2002, Philip recruited and trained a team of app developers. This team went on towrite hundreds of apps, including utilities, games, children’s books and augmented reality.

In 2010, the team developed an in-house tool that enabled central management of apps and providedclients with access to consolidated sales reports from multiple app stores. This same team of app developershas been instrumental in the core design and concept of the appScatter Platform.

In late 2013, a US company, appScatter LLC, was formed and began in-depth research and testing appson alternative app stores. Its offices were located in Boston, US, to be close to Philip Marcella’s contacts atthe Massachusetts Institute of Technology. AppScatter LLC recruited its first engineers in July 2014.

In September 2015, appScatter Limited was formed in the UK and, in May 2016, acquired appScatter LLC.

During 2016 the Platform underwent extensive beta and usability testing; appScatter formed its sales andmarketing department and, on 30 November 2016, the appScatter Platform was introduced to its peers atthe Berlin app Summit.

In August 2017, appScatter Group plc became the holding company of the Group in preparation forAdmission. appScatter Limited, now a wholly owned subsidiary of appScatter Group plc, holds all of theGroup’s intellectual property and trading activities.

4. The appScatter Platform and MarketplaceThe appScatter Platform is highly scalable and uses cloud technology. Hosted in Amazon Web Services,appScatter uses a micro services architecture to allow each component of the Platform to scaleindependently of each other based on demand. Amazon Web Services’ relational database services areused for storage in parallel with MongoDB for big data sets and Amazon Elastic Search services are usedin providing appScatter’s proprietary app and publisher search engine.

The core appScatter Platform has been operational since pre-launch in January 2017.

The appScatter Platform has a number of operational features available to Free Users and/or Paying Usersthat help distribute and manage a Paying User’s suite of apps. Following Admission, future developmentsto the Platform will include the provision of add-on features through appScatter’s Marketplace.

The Marketplace, which the Company aims to launch in Q4 2017, will allow Paying Users to access bothfree and paid for add-ons that will enable the integration of third party tools and products with the Platform;for an additional monthly charge in the case of paid for add-ons.

The Directors believe that the breadth and quality of the Platform and the range of usability it affords Usersuniquely positions the Company in providing a range of services not otherwise available from a single accesspoint. The Directors believe the add-ons it will make available for Paying Users through the Marketplace willfurther enhance the Group’s ability to both increase User numbers and retain existing Paying Users.

Key Features

App and Publisher Name Search Engine

The information gathered by appScatter includes ranking position, territories covered, all metadata alongwith versioning, pricing and app specific details including publisher name. The Company is targeting tocontinue to increase its app store coverage following Admission.

Compliance, Brand Consistency and Piracy

The Directors believe that a proportion of potential appScatter Users have more than one app; many havehundreds of apps. For example, app owners often have different versions of apps for each territory andlanguage. The Directors believe that territorial and other forms of compliance have become a major issuefor app owners, particularly within the highly regulated finance, gambling, aviation, automotive and healthcareindustries. The Directors believe that appScatter is the only platform which allows Users to view multipleapps across multiple app stores to check easily for territorial compliance, brand consistency and identifypossible intellectual property infringement and piracy.

App Store Directory and Information

There are currently more than 300 app stores worldwide, of which appScatter currently catalogues 50 appstores. The Platform provides descriptions on the registration and submission process, territories, reportingprocedures, in-app billing capabilities, app store types and size. In addition, appScatter also monitors theapp store server uptime.

Sales and Downloads

Using appScatter’s unique ASE, the Platform collects and consolidates sales data and download reportsfrom each store daily for its Licensed Users. This provides those Users with a means to view and constructbespoke reports detailed by country and app store. This can be broken down further into app store proceedsand product sales. As well as time saved from not having to manually go to every app store and downloadindividual reports for consolidating, the appScatter ASE technology gives those Users a targeted and efficientway to review and report on the performance of their entire portfolio of apps.

App Store Registration

A typical app store registration process takes approximately one hour, sometimes longer. As a result,registration on multiple stores can be time consuming and cumbersome due to the differing requirementsof each app store. In comparison, the appScatter registration process is simple and appScatter allows eachPaying User to register on alternative app stores which do not charge an annual fee for developer accountsby filling in only one form, saving time and resources for publishers.

App Store Submission and Maintenance

Using appScatter’s Compatibility Engine, apps added or imported either individually or in bulk can be instantlycompared with all appScatter supported stores to assess suitable matches. Part of the compatibility checkis determined by whether it is free or paid, the device type, pricing, operating system, category, territory andratings. The core of appScatter’s ASE enables Paying Users to submit, update and manage apps acrossmultiple app stores. This seamless and simple action can be done from a range of browsers and devices.

Competitor Tracking and Positioning

Free Users and Paying Users can compare and track competitors’ app rankings and download trendsacross multiple app stores using a watch list functionality on the Platform.

Daily Ranking

The Platform collects ranking data daily from multiple app stores across all categories, store territories andin relation to free apps, paid apps and top grossing apps (inclusive of in-app purchases), where supported.The data is accessible to Licensed Users and gives them the ability to monitor their app ranking positionacross multiple app stores.

Third party tool integration

To enhance the user experience and increase Paying Users’ retention, appScatter intends to allow integrationwith third party tools through its Marketplace, which the Company aims to launch in Q4 2017. This willenable Paying Users to integrate analytics, mobile advertising revenues and many more services into thePlatform.

Data Analytics and Telemetry features

The Company is in the process of seeking to integrate a telemetry platform into the appScatter Platform toprovide Paying Users with a richer experience around the time series data that the Platform stores for apps.This will extend to being the backend storage solution for all future time series data captured by the Platform– including app advertising revenues and supporting the appScatter SDK.

5. Business Model & PricingThere are two types of appScatter Users – Free Users and Paying Users. Paying Users are categorised bythe Company in three groups – Small, Medium and Large.

Small Paying Users are expected to include individuals or SMEs owning a single app. The Company’s currentRegistered Users include app development houses and blue chip multinational media, banking, insurance,entertainment and aviation companies – to whom the Directors believe the features of the appScatterPlatform are of interest across multiple business lines, jurisdictions and internal functions (such as marketing,compliance and finance functions).

Paying Users are charged a monthly subscription based on the number of seats and managed apps. EachPaying User is charged US$10 per seat per month, with a minimum of five seats. Apps are charged at anadditional US$50 per app per month; there will also be further charges for the usage of certain productswithin the Marketplace, known as add-ons.

2. Directors’ planned future services on the appScatter Platform, not currently available.

3. Directors’ planned future services to go-live at full launch.

6. The MarketThere are currently over 300 legitimate app stores estimated worldwide. The Directors estimate that withinthese app stores there are over ten million apps, with over one billion unique app URLs, created by over sixmillion active publishers.

As illustrated in Chart 1 below, Google Play and the Apple App Store hold large download market shares inthe United States and Europe. However, in other markets these two app stores have a much lower marketshare. For example, in China, the Directors estimate that approximately 75 per cent. of all downloads arefrom alternative app stores other than Google Play and the Apple App Store.

According to Gartner Inc., growth in the number of devices capable of using apps is set to continue to bedramatic. There are predicted to be 2.5 billion smart phone users in 2018. The global number of tablet userssurpassed 1 billion in 2015. It is estimated by Gartner Inc. that there will be 33 billion devices able to useapps by 2020, with approximately 26 billion represented through the Internet of Things and approximatelyseven billion through tablets, smartphones and personal computers.

7. StrategyThe Directors intend to grow the business by broadening the Licensed User base through productdevelopment, targeted sales campaigns and partnerships.

Launch Strategy

Following Admission, the Company’s initial focus will be to rapidly grow Free Users and to convert thoseFree Users into Paying Users in order to build critical mass. The Company aims to launch the Marketplacein Q4 2017, targeting an increase in average revenue per Paying User by selling add on services, and inaddition increasing Paying User retention by integrating other business-critical third party products andservices with appScatter’s Platform.

In the future, appScatter aims to explore the monetisation of the billions of data points that it has beencollecting on a daily basis since 2014 and provide Users with valuable insights on app performance.

Sales and Marketing

Initial leads and sales are generated through various marketing campaigns. Test marketing began inNovember 2016 to determine the cost of acquisition for each marketing channel and to identify the mostproductive channels. Testing included all forms of social media, Google AdWords and industry conferences.Social media was shown to be the most cost effective means of attracting all types of Registered Users.

Typically new Users begin to use the appScatter Platform with a small number of apps and only a limitednumber of seats. As more add-ons become available in the Marketplace, the Directors would expect thespend of that User to increase, as Users take advantage of add-ons that enable enhanced useability andintegration of third party systems with the appScatter Platform, some of which will require payment inadvance for use.

Strategic Partnerships

The Directors intend to continue forming strategic partnerships with key industry partners such as analyticsservices or mobile advertising networks, some of which may have hundreds of thousands of their own userswho are potential appScatter Users. These partnerships are expected to contribute to growth in appScatter’sconversion of Free Users into Paying Users over the longer term.

Product Development

The Directors intend to continue to develop and improve the functionality and performance of the Platform.

The Company is targeting ISO 27001 certification within 24 months of Admission.

8. Competition and Barriers to EntryThe Directors believe that there are currently no competitors that offer the complete suite of tools offered byappScatter. There are companies that offer some of the services provided by appScatter but thesecompetitors typically cover only a handful of app stores and with only a portion of the services offered byappScatter. The Directors also believe that these competitors do not provide pre-existing integration (togetherwith future add-ons which will be available via the Marketplace) to best-of-breed workflow tools. For anumber of reasons, including the complexity of the Platform’s technology, historical data already gatheredby appScatter and the Marketplace expected to be launched by appScatter in Q4 2017, new entrantsseeking to enter the market would, the Directors believe, face significant barriers to entry.

First mover advantage

The Company has already spent more than two years building its back-end infrastructure and is currentlyrunning over approximately 600 servers managing its services and data banks. In that time, a vast amountof live and historical data has been collated that cannot be replicated by competitors or new entrants. TheDirectors believe this gives appScatter an enviable first mover advantage.

9. Intellectual Property and PatentsThe Group does not currently have any patents in place or patent applications outstanding but does fullyown the know-how and proprietary database schema. Management is exploring protecting the coretechnology with a software patent, which may include the specific search algorithms and technologysurrounding the collection and management of data.

10. Selected Financial InformationThe table below shows selected key historical financial information for the three years ended 31 December2016 extracted without material adjustment from the historical financial information on the Group containedwithin Part IV (B) of this document.

Since the soft-launch of the Platform in January 2017, and in the five month period ended 31 May 2017,the Group had invoiced sales totalling approximately £0.7 million.

11. Current Trading and OutlookSince the soft-launch of the Platform in January 2017, and in the five month period ended 31 May 2017,the Group had invoiced sales totalling approximately £0.7 million. Interest in the appScatter Platform appearsstrong with over 8,000 Registered Users, including 1,400 Licensed Users (of which more than 800 werePaying Users) managing over 3,000 apps, as at 31 July 2017.

With the Company’s first mover advantage and the net proceeds of the Placing to strengthen the Company’ssales and marketing function, the Directors look forward with confidence to a successful future.

12. DirectorsThe Board comprises three executive directors and two non-executive directors.

● increase the ability of the Company to incentivise existing and future employees.

14. Details of the PlacingThe Company has conditionally raised £9.0 million, before expenses (£7.8 million net of expenses) throughthe Placing being undertaken by Stifel and Smith & Williamson of 13,846,154 Placing Shares at 65 penceper Placing Share. The Placing Shares will represent approximately 21.9 per cent. of the Enlarged ShareCapital on Admission.

18

Page 20: ADMISSION DOCUMENT - appScatter · This document is an admission document required by the rules of AIM, a market operated by the London Stock Exchange. This document does not constitute

The Placing Shares will rank, on issue, pari passu in all respects with the Existing Ordinary Shares includingthe right to receive all dividends and distributions paid or made in respect of the Ordinary Shares. The PlacingShares will be issued free from all liens, charges and encumbrances.

On 29 August 2017, the Company, the Directors, Stifel and Smith & Williamson entered into the PlacingAgreement pursuant to which Stifel and Smith & Williamson agreed, subject to certain conditions, to usetheir reasonable endeavours to procure subscribers for Placing Shares pursuant to the Placing. Under thePlacing, the Placing Shares have been conditionally placed with institutional and other investors.

The VCT/EIS Shares will be issued to the relevant Placees on 4 September 2017, being one business dayprior to the anticipated date of Admission, so that Placees investing as part of the VCT/EIS Placing will beable to benefit from tax advantages pursuant to the VCT and EIS rules as governed by HMRC. The issue ofthe VCT/EIS Shares shall not therefore be conditional upon the General Placing being completed orAdmission. On Admission, which is expected to take place on 5 September 2017, subject to the conditionsin the Placing Agreement being satisfied and/or waived, the Company shall issue the balance of the PlacingShares which are the subject of the General Placing.

The General Placing is conditional, inter alia, upon the Placing Agreement not having been terminated inaccordance with its terms prior to Admission and on Admission taking place on 5 September 2017 or suchlater date as Stifel, Smith & Williamson and the Company may agree, being not later than29 September 2017.

The VCT/EIS Shares and the General Placing Shares are therefore all expected to be admitted to trading onAIM on 5 September 2017.

Under the Placing Agreement, the Company has given certain warranties and indemnities to Stifel and Smith& Williamson concerning, inter alia, the accuracy of the information contained in this document.

Further details of the Placing Agreement are set out in paragraph 12.3 of Part V of this document.

15. Admission, Settlement and DealingsApplication has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the Enlarged Share Capital to be admittedto trading on AIM. It is expected that Admission will become effective and that dealings will commence on5 September 2017.

Dealings in the Placing Shares on AIM are expected to commence on 5 September 2017. In the case ofPlacees requesting their Placing Shares in uncertificated form, it is expected that the appropriate CRESTaccounts will be credited with the Placing Shares on 5 September 2017. For those Placees who have requestedtheir Placing Shares in certificated form it is expected that certificates in respect of such Placing Shares will bedespatched by post not later than 19 September 2017. Pending despatch of definitive share certificates orcrediting of CREST accounts, the Company’s registrars will certify any instrument of transfer against the register.In the event that Admission does not occur, the VCT/EIS Shares will be delivered in certificated form.

16. Share incentive arrangementsThe Board believes that the Company’s success is highly dependent on the quality and loyalty of the currentand future directors and employees. To assist in the recruitment, retention and motivation of high qualitydirectors and employees as necessary, the Company must have an effective remuneration strategy. TheBoard considers that an important part of this remuneration strategy is the ability to award equity incentivesand, in particular, share options.

On Admission options and warrants will be outstanding over a total of 4,436,232 Ordinary Shares, of which2,621,891 options to subscribe for new Ordinary Shares will be held by Directors. Further details of all ofthe options and warrants currently outstanding are provided in paragraph 3 of Part V of this document.

Following Admission, further share options may be granted to employees and Directors in accordance withthe Group’s remuneration policies from time to time. Inclusive of the share options in issue at Admission,the Board intends that a maximum of ten per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company (as enlarged)from time to time will be under option to Directors and employees.

17. Lock-in and Orderly Market ArrangementsThe Board’s aggregate interests in Ordinary Shares following Admission will amount to 17,798,894 OrdinaryShares, representing approximately 28.17 per cent. of the Enlarged Share Capital. On Admission theDirectors will also hold options over a further 2,621,891 Ordinary Shares, further details of which are set outin paragraph 6.5 of Part V of this document.

Each of Philip Marcella, Manish Kotecha, Jason Hill, Clive Carver and Michael Buchen (being Directorsholding Ordinary Shares), together with William Booth, who holds 2,155,473 Ordinary Shares representing3.41 per cent. of the Enlarged Share Capital, have undertaken, save in limited circumstances, not to disposeof any of their interests in Ordinary Shares at any time prior to the first anniversary of Admission. In order toensure an orderly market in the Ordinary Shares the Directors have further undertaken, in respect ofthemselves and each of their connected persons, that for a further period of 12 months thereafter they willnot (subject to certain limited exceptions) deal or otherwise dispose of any such interests without the priorconsent of Smith & Williamson and Stifel.

In addition, certain other holders of Existing Ordinary Shares have agreed not to dispose of interests inOrdinary Shares amounting to an aggregate of 7,396,767 Ordinary Shares, representing a further 11.71 percent. of the Enlarged Share Capital, at any time prior to the first anniversary of Admission.

18. Corporate Governance and Internal ControlsThe Board comprises two non-executive directors and three executive directors. The Company is notrequired to comply with the provisions of the UK Corporate Governance Code. However, the Directorsrecognise the importance of sound corporate governance and intend to comply with the QCA CorporateGovernance Code, which they believe is appropriate for a company with shares admitted to trading on AIM.In particular, the Directors are responsible for overseeing the effectiveness of the internal controls of theCompany designed to ensure that proper accounting records are maintained, and that the financialinformation on which business decisions are made and which is issued for publication is reliable and thatthe assets of the Company are safeguarded.

The Company will hold regular board meetings throughout the year at which reports relating to the Group’soperations, together with financial reports, will be considered. The Board is responsible for formulating,approving and reviewing the Group’s strategy, budgets, major items of expenditure and senior personnelappointments.

In addition they holdoptions to subscribe for 252,712 Ordinary Shares and 94,767 Ordinary Shares respectively. Given the sizeof their shareholdings, the absence of any cross directorships or relationships with other board members,and that they are not financially dependent on their relationships with the Company, the Board is satisfiedthat the non-executive directors are considered independent under the criteria identified in the QCACorporate Governance Code for Small and Mid-Sized Quoted Companies.

The Company has established, conditional on Admission, an audit committee and a remuneration andnomination committee, each with formally delegated duties and responsibilities.

The Audit Committee

The Company has established an audit committee, which comprises Clive Carver (Chairman) and MichaelBuchen.

The Company has adopted a code for dealings in Ordinary Shares which is appropriate for an AIM company,in compliance with Rule 21 of the AIM Rules for Companies and with the Market Abuse Regulation.

19. VCT and EIS Taxation ReliefThe Company has received advanced assurance from HMRC that the Placing Shares are capable of beinga “qualifying holding” for the purpose of investment by a VCT or an investor seeking EIS relief. Furtherinformation is included in paragraph 11.19 of Part V of this document.

20. City Code and Concert PartyThe City Code applies to the Company. The Takeover Panel has statutory powers to enforce the City Codein respect of companies to which the Code applies.

Under the City Code, if an acquisition of Ordinary Shares were to increase the aggregate interest in sharesof the acquirer and any parties acting in concert with it to Ordinary Shares carrying 30 per cent. or more ofthe voting rights in the Company, the acquirer and, depending on the circumstances, its concert parties (ifany) would be required (except with the consent of the Takeover Panel) to make a cash offer for the OrdinaryShares not already owned by the acquirer and its concert parties (if any) at a price not less than the highestprice paid for Ordinary Shares by the acquirer or its concert parties (if any) during the previous 12 months.A similar obligation to make such a mandatory cash offer would also arise on the acquisition of OrdinaryShares by a person holding (together with its concert parties, if any) Ordinary Shares carrying at least 30 percent., but not more than 50 per cent., of the voting rights in the Company if the effect of such acquisitionwere to increase the percentage of the aggregate voting rights held by the acquirer and its concert parties(if any).

The City Code defines persons “acting in concert” as comprising persons who, pursuant to an agreementor understanding (whether formal or informal), co-operate to obtain or consolidate control of a company orto frustrate the successful outcome of an offer for a company. “Control” means an interest, or interests, inshares carrying in aggregate 30 per cent. or more of the voting rights of a company, irrespective of whethersuch interest or interests give de facto control. A person and each of its affiliated persons will be deemed tobe acting in concert with each other. There is a non-exhaustive list of persons who will be presumed to beacting in concert with other persons in the same category unless the contrary is established. This listincludes:

(a) the close relatives of a founder of a company to which the City Code applies and the related trusts ofany of them, all with each other; and

(b) shareholders in a private company who sell their shares in that company in consideration for the issueof new shares in a company to which the City Code applies, or who, following the re-registration ofthat company as a public limited company in connection with an initial public offering or otherwise,become shareholders in a company to which the City Code applies.

Accordingly, all former Group shareholders who have become shareholders in the Company could bedeemed to be acting in concert due to the circumstances set out in (b) above. The Company’s advisershave liaised with and, based on the information available, the Takeover Panel has confirmed that there iscurrently a concert party consisting of Philip Marcella (and his father Victor Marcella, his son Jean-Luc

21

Page 23: ADMISSION DOCUMENT - appScatter · This document is an admission document required by the rules of AIM, a market operated by the London Stock Exchange. This document does not constitute

Marcella and his associate David Edward Jones) and William Booth. Philip Marcella, Victor Marcella,Jean-Luc Marcella, David Edward Jones and William Booth (the “Concert Party”) will hold an aggregate of31.22 per cent. of the Enlarged Share Capital on Admission (assuming the exercise by the Concert Party ofthe options over Ordinary Shares held by them).

If the Concert Party was to increase the percentage of the aggregate voting rights held by it then they wouldbe obliged, except with the consent of the Takeover Panel, to extend a mandatory offer as referred to above.

21. Relationship AgreementThe Company, Philip Marcella and Smith & Williamson have entered into the Relationship Agreement, whichregulates the ongoing relationship between Philip Marcella and the Company with a view to ensuring that,amongst other things, (i) the Company is capable of carrying on its business independently of Philip Marcella;and (ii) transactions and relationships between the Company and Philip Marcella are entered into at arm’slength and on normal commercial terms. A summary of the terms of the Relationship Agreement is set outin paragraph 12.10 of Part V of this document.

22. Dividend PolicyThe Company is primarily seeking to achieve capital growth for its Shareholders. However, the Directorsintend to commence payment of dividends when it becomes commercially viable to do so, subject to theworking capital requirements of the Company and the availability of distributable funds and will adopt aprogressive but prudent dividend policy thereafter.

23. TaxationInformation regarding United Kingdom taxation with regard to potential Shareholders is set out in Part V ofthis document. No taxation advice is being provided to Shareholders in this document. If you are in anydoubt as to your tax position, you should consult your professional adviser immediately.

24. CRESTCREST is a paperless settlement procedure enabling securities to be evidenced otherwise than by acertificate and transferred otherwise than by a written instrument in accordance with the CREST Regulations.The Articles permit the holding of Ordinary Shares under the CREST system. All of the Ordinary Shares willbe in registered form and no temporary documents of title will be issued.

The Company has applied for the Ordinary Shares to be admitted to CREST on the date of Admission andit is expected that the Ordinary Shares will be so admitted and accordingly enabled for settlement in CRESTon the date of Admission. It is expected that Admission will become effective and dealings in Ordinary Shareswill commence on 5 September 2017. Accordingly, settlement of transactions in Ordinary Shares followingAdmission may take place within the CREST system if any Shareholder so wishes.

CREST is a voluntary system and holders of Ordinary Shares who wish to receive and retain share certificateswill be able to do so.

25. Risk FactorsCertain risk factors in relation to the Company and its business are brought to your attention in Part III ofthis document.

PART III

RISK FACTORS

Any investment in the Ordinary Shares is speculative and subject to a high degree of risk.Therefore, prior to investing in the Ordinary Shares, prospective investors should considercarefully the risks associated with any investment in the Ordinary Shares, the Group’s businessand the industry in which the Group operates, together with all other information contained inthis document including, in particular, the risk factors described below. If any of the followingrisks actually occur, the Group’s business, financial condition, capital resources, results or futureoperations could be materially adversely affected.

Additional risks and uncertainties relating to the Company and its subsidiaries that are notcurrently known to the Company, or that the Company currently deems immaterial, may also havea material adverse effect on the business of the Group or on the Group’s financial condition andoperating results.

This, among other factors, could cause a decrease in the price of the Ordinary Shares andinvestors could lose all or part of their investment. If you are in any doubt about the contents ofthis document or the action you should take, you are strongly recommended to consult aprofessional adviser authorised under FSMA who specialises in advising on the acquisition ofshares and other securities.

Investors should also take their own tax advice as to the consequences of their owning sharesin the Company as well as receiving returns from it. No representation or warranty, express orimplied, is given to investors as to the tax consequences of their acquiring, owning or disposingof any shares in the Company and neither the Company, the Directors, Smith & Williamson norStifel will be responsible for any tax consequences for any such investors.

A prospective investor should consider carefully whether an investment in the Ordinary Sharesis suitable for them in view of the information in this document, their personal circumstances andthe financial resources available to them.

RISKS RELATING TO THE BUSINESS AND ITS INDUSTRY

appScatter Platform and its marketThe Group derives substantially all of its revenue and cash flows from subscriptions for, and services relatedto, the Platform. Demand for the Platform is affected by a number of factors beyond the Group’s control,including market acceptance of the Platform by existing customers and potential new customers, theextension of the Platform for new user cases, the timing of development and release of new products bythe Group’s competitors and additional capabilities and functionality by the Group, technological change,and growth or contraction of the market in which the Group competes. In addition, the Group cannot assureinvestors that the Platform and future enhancements to the Platform will be able to address future advancesin technology or requirements of existing customers or potential new customers. If the Group is unable tocontinue to meet customer demands or to achieve more widespread market acceptance of the Platform,its business, results of operations, financial condition and growth prospects will be adversely affected.

The Group began selling the Platform in January 2017. Due to its limited experience selling the Platform, itmay be difficult to forecast future results of operations and this subjects the Group to a number ofuncertainties, including the pace and degree of customer adoption of the Platform. The Group hasencountered and will continue to encounter risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by growingcompanies operating in new or developing markets. If the Group’s assumptions regarding theseuncertainties, which the Group uses to plan its business, are incorrect or change in reaction to changes inits markets, or if the Group does not address these risks successfully, its results of operations and financialcondition could differ materially from its expectations and its business could suffer.

The market for services such as the appScatter Platform is still new, and therefore, it is difficult to predictthe size and growth rate of this market, whether and how rapidly customers will adopt the Platform, whetherthe Group will be able to retain such customers and expand their usage of the Platform, and the impact of

23

competitive products and services. If the market for services such as the Platform does not achievesignificant growth or there is a reduction in demand for solutions in the Group’s market for any reason, itcould result in reduced customer adoption of the Platform, decreased customer retention, or weakercustomer expansion with respect to the use of the Platform, any of which would adversely affect the Group’sbusiness, results of operations, and financial condition.

Reliance on third party data availabilityCertain aspects of the appScatter Platform rely on the continued availability of extensive data, free of charge,from app stores regarding such matters as the level of sales of apps, which data is then processed orre-presented by the appScatter software for the benefit of Users. Access to such data is regulated by theterms and conditions of each app store and by the agreements between Users and the app stores. To datethe Company has received no notification from any app store or User that the use to which the app storedata is put by the appScatter Platform infringes the app store’s rights to such data, or that any app storehas any intention of restricting access to or use of such data or levying charges for access to it, and theDirectors believe that app stores are unlikely to restrict or charge for access to such data, or the use towhich the data may be put, in a way which impacts the appScatter Platform. However, such a decision isout of the hands of the Company. If one or more app stores sought to impose or enforce restrictions onaccess to and/or use of such data, or to levy charges for it, the ability of appScatter to continue to providethe full range of services, and accordingly the credibility of the appScatter Platform, could be seriouslydiminished and, in the extreme, certain elements of the appScatter Platform would be unable to operate, orthe costs of operation could be significantly increased.

Technological risksThe Company’s business is dependent upon technology which could be superseded by superior technology,more competitively priced technology or a shift in working practices which could affect both the potentialprofitability and saleability of the Group’s product offering.

Staying abreast of technological changes may require substantial investment. The Group’s existing softwareproducts need to develop continually in order to meet customer requirements. The technology used in theGroup’s products is still evolving and is highly complex and may change. Research and development byother companies may render any of the Group’s products in development or currently available obsolete.

Intellectual property protectionThe Group may be unable to successfully establish and protect its intellectual property which may besignificant to the Group’s competitive position. The Group’s current or future intellectual property rights mayor may not have priority over other third parties’ claims to the same intellectual property.

The steps which the Group has taken and intends to take to protect its intellectual property may beinadequate to prevent the misappropriation of its proprietary technology. Any misappropriation of the Group’sintellectual property could have a negative impact on the Group’s business and its operating results.Furthermore, the Group may need to take legal action to enforce its intellectual property, to protect tradesecrets or to determine the validity or scope of the proprietary rights of others. Litigation relating to theGroup’s intellectual property, whether instigated by the Group to protect its rights or arising out of allegedinfringement of third party rights, may result in substantial costs and the diversion of resources andmanagement attention and there can be no guarantees as to the outcome of any such litigation, or that itcan be effectively used to enforce the Group’s rights.

Dependence on key executives and personnelThe future performance of the Group will to a significant extent be dependent on its ability to retain theservices and personal connections or contacts of key executives and to attract, recruit, motivate and retainother suitably skilled, qualified and industry experienced personnel. The loss of the services of any of thekey executives or personnel may have a material adverse effect on the business, operations, relationshipsand/or prospects of the Group.

Competition riskThere can be no guarantee that the Group’s competitors have not already developed and/or will not developproducts and services which are competitive to those supplied by the Group and there can be no assurancesthat the availability of any such products and services will not adversely affect future demand for the Group’sown products and services. The Group’s competitors may have or develop greater financial, marketing andtechnological resources than the Group enabling them to develop products and services which arecompetitive to those of the Group and to promote them more successfully than the Group.

Requirement for continued investmentThe Group needs to continue to invest resources in research and development in order to maintain andenhance the Group’s existing products and services and introduce new high quality products and servicesto its platform. If the Group is unable to ensure that its subscribers have a high quality experience with theGroup’s products and services, then they may become dissatisfied and move to competitors’ products andservices.

In addition, if the Group is unable to predict user preferences or industry changes, or if the Group is unableto modify its products and services on a timely basis, the Group may lose subscribers. The Group’s futuresuccess will depend on its ability to adapt to rapidly changing technologies, to adapt its products andservices to evolving industry standards and to improve the performance and reliability of the Group’s services.Failure to adapt to such changes would harm the Group’s business.

In addition, the widespread adoption of other technological changes could require expenditure to modify oradapt the Group’s software product. Moreover, the Group believes that its continued success depends oninvesting in new business strategies or initiatives that complement the Group’s strategic direction. Suchendeavours may involve significant risks and uncertainties, including distraction of management’s attentionaway from other business operations and insufficient revenue generation to offset liabilities and expensesundertaken with such strategies and initiatives. Because these endeavours may be inherently risky, noassurance can be given that such endeavours will not materially adversely affect the Group’s business,operating results or financial condition.

Security and privacy breachesThe Group’s security and testing measures may not prevent security breaches that could harm the Group’sor its subscribers businesses. For example, a number of the Group’s users provide the Group with creditcard and other confidential information and authorise the Group to bill their credit card accounts directly forthe Group’s products and services. Typically, the Group relies on encryption and authentication technologylicensed from third parties to enhance the transmission and storage security of confidential information.Advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography, inadequate facility securityor other developments may result in a compromise or breach of the technology used by the Group to protectcustomer and proprietary data. Any compromise of the Group’s security could harm its reputation or financialcondition and, therefore, the business. In addition, a party who is able to circumvent the Group’s securitymeasures could, among other effects, misappropriate proprietary information, cause interruptions in theGroup’s operations or expose subscribers to computer viruses or other disruptions. Actual or perceivedvulnerabilities may lead to claims against the Group. While the Group’s customer agreements typically containprovisions that seek to limit the Group’s liability, there is no assurance that these provisions will be enforceableand effective under applicable law.

The Group intends to seek ISO27001 accreditation. ISO 27001 is an international standard for informationsecurity management system which will require the Group to refine and develop its policies and proceduresincluding all legal, physical and technical controls involved in its risk management processes. The Directorsbelieve that ISO27001 status will give Users and prospective Users a high level of reassurance, but noguarantee can be given as to the timing of the accreditation process or its outcome. Failure to secure suchaccreditation may impact adversely on the Group’s business.

Product risksThe Group’s products and the software on which they are based are complex and may contain undetecteddefects when first introduced. Additionally problems may be discovered from time to time in existing, new

25

Page 27: ADMISSION DOCUMENT - appScatter · This document is an admission document required by the rules of AIM, a market operated by the London Stock Exchange. This document does not constitute

or enhanced products. Undetected defects could damage the Group’s reputation, ultimately leading to anincrease in the Group’s costs or reduction in its revenues.

Key enterprise customer dependencyThe Group currently generates a significant proportion of its revenue from certain key Licensed Users. Theloss of all or a substantial proportion of the business provided by one or more of the Group’s Payingsubscribers could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s business.

Failure to renew customer agreementsThe Group’s subscribers may not renew, or may reduce the scope of, their subscriptions for the Group’sservices and products. Renewal rates may decline or fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, includingsubscribers’ level of satisfaction with the Group’s products and services and their ability to continue theiroperations and spending levels. The Group’s business is at an early stage and the Group may not be ableto predict accurately the levels of renewal of subscriptions.

Failure to attract new users/subscribersIn order to grow its business, the Group must continue to attract new customers in a cost-effective mannerand enable such customers to realize the benefits associated with use of the Platform. The Group may notbe able to attract new customers to the platform for a variety of reasons.

Even if the Group does attract customers, the cost of new customer acquisition or ongoing customer supportmay prove so high as to prevent the Group from achieving or sustaining profitability. The Group intends tocontinue to hire additional sales personnel, increase its marketing activities to help educate the market aboutthe benefits of the Platform, grow its domestic and international operations and build brand awareness. Ifthe costs of these sales and marketing efforts increase dramatically, or if its sales and marketing efforts donot result in substantial increases in revenue, the Group’s business, results of operations, and financialcondition may be adversely affected.

Failure to convert non-paying users to revenue generating SubscriptionsA proportion of the Group’s services are available free of charge to Users. There can be no guarantee thatthe Group will be able to convert Free Users to Licensed Users or that the Group will be able to predictaccurately the rate of conversion.

Currency exchange rates riskThe Group’s functional currency is Sterling and its contracts are denominated in US Dollars. A significantportion of the Group’s operating, marketing and administrative expenses are paid in other currencies,including Sterling, and the net proceeds of the Placing will be denominated in Sterling. Hence, the Companyis exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates, in particular, between the US Dollar and Sterling. Such exposuremay affect the Company’s results. The Company may consider, on a case by case basis, implementingpolicies to limit its currency exposure, if appropriate, and will examine currency hedging instruments whenthey prove to be available and cost effective.

Operational problemsThe Group’s revenues are dependent on the continued operations of the Platform. Operational risks includeequipment failure, failure to comply with applicable regulations and standards and disruptions in theoperations of suppliers engaged in the maintenance and development of the Platform.

Any disruption of the ability to maintain and/or develop the Platform can result in delivery delays, interruptPlatform availability or even lead to a full cessation of Platform operation. Whilst the Group has establishedrelationships and in house expertise, which mitigates this risk, a disruption in Platform availability coulddamage the Group’s reputation, ultimately leading to a reduction in its revenues.

If the Group’s security measures are breached or unauthorised access to private or proprietary data isotherwise obtained, the Platform may be perceived as not being secure, customers may reduce the use ofor stop using the Platform, and the Group may incur significant liabilities.

Dependence on Amazon Web ServicesThe Group outsources its cloud infrastructure to Amazon Web Services, or AWS, which hosts the Platform.The Group’s customers need to be able to access the Platform at any time, without interruption ordegradation of performance. AWS runs its own platform that the Group accesses, and the Group thereforeis vulnerable to service interruptions at AWS. The Group has experienced, and expects that in the future itmay experience interruptions, delays and outages in service and availability from time to time due to a varietyof factors, including infrastructure changes, human or software errors, website hosting disruptions andcapacity constraints. Capacity constraints could be due to a number of potential causes including technicalfailures, natural disasters, fraud or security attacks. In addition, if the Group’s security, or that of AWS, iscompromised, the Platform is unavailable or the Group’s customers are unable to use the Platform within areasonable amount of time or at all, then the Group’s business, results of operations and financial conditioncould be adversely affected. In some instances, the Group may not be able to identify the cause or causesof these performance problems within a period of time acceptable to its customers. It may becomeincreasingly difficult to maintain and improve the Platform performance, especially during peak usage times,as the features of the Platform become more complex and the usage of the Platform increases. Any of theabove circumstances or events may harm the Group’s reputation, cause customers to stop using thePlatform, impair the Group’s ability to increase revenue from existing customers, impair the Group’s abilityto grow its customer base, subject the Group to financial penalties and liabilities under agreements withcustomers and otherwise harm the Group’s business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Tax related risksThere may, in certain circumstances, be withholding or other taxes on the profits or other returns derivedfrom the Company’s investments which may change from time to time and which could have a material andadverse impact on the Company’s performance.

The progress of the Group to date has been funded to a considerable extent by the issue of shares inconsideration for services. Fees have been paid, and shares issued, to various contractors. The Directorsbelieve that they have applied the appropriate tax treatment in relation to these payments and share issues.However as noted in Note 19 of the Historical Financial Information contained in Part IV(B) of this document,a potential tax liability exists if any of the contractors involved are deemed to be employees. It is not possibleto accurately quantify the potential liability, but the maximum possible liability it is not expected to exceed£590,000. To mitigate this risk, the Group has put in place appropriate indemnification arrangements. TheGroup could also seek to recover from the individuals and/or offset against tax already settled with therelevant authorities. The Group’s ability to enforce the indemnification arrangements and/or to recover fromthe individuals concerned will depend inter alia on the financial standing of the individuals concerned.

The tax regimes applying in the countries in which the Company operates and/or invests may change,thereby affecting the tax treatment of the Company. For further information, please refer to Part V of thisdocument.

Growth management and acquisitionsThe Directors believe that further expansion, either organic or via acquisition, will be required in the future tocapitalise on the anticipated increase in demand for the Group’s services and products. The Group’s futuresuccess will depend, in part, on its ability to manage this anticipated expansion. Such expansion is expectedto place demands on management, support functions, accounting, sales and marketing and other resources.

If the Group is unable to manage its expansion effectively, its business and financial results could suffer. Theprocess of integrating an acquisition into its business may produce unforeseen operating difficulties andexpenditures and may absorb significant attention of the Group’s management that would otherwise beavailable for the on-going development of its business, which may materially harm the Group’s business,financial condition or operating results. There can be no guarantee that the Group will be able to sourceand execute suitable acquisitions in the future.

27

Potential requirement for further investmentAny future acquisitions, expansion, activity and/or business development may require additional capital,whether from equity or debt sources. There can be no guarantee that the necessary funds will be availableon a timely basis, on favourable terms, or at all, or that such funds if raised, would be sufficient. If additionalfunds are raised by issuing equity securities, dilution to the then existing shareholdings may result. Debtfunding may require assets of the Group to be secured in favour of the lender, which security may beexercised if the Group were to be unable to comply with the terms of the relevant debt facility agreement.The level and timing of future expenditure will depend on a number of factors, many of which are outsidethe Group’s control. If the Group is not able to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all, it maybe forced to curtail or abandon such planned acquisition opportunities, expansion, activity and/or businessdevelopment. The above could have a material adverse effect on the Group.

Regulation riskRegulation of the internet and e-commerce is rapidly evolving and there are an increasing number of directlyapplicable laws and regulations. It is possible that additional laws and regulations may be enacted withrespect to the internet, covering issues such as user privacy, law enforcement, pricing, taxation, contentliability, data encryption, copyright protection, and quality of products and services. The requirement tocomply with and the adoption of such new or revised regulations, or new or changed interpretations orenforcement of existing regulations, may have a material adverse effect on the Group’s business and on theresults of its operations.

DividendsThe Company’s current policy is to only recommend dividends when appropriate and practicable. Therecan be no assurance as to the level of future dividends (if any) that may be paid by the Company. Anydetermination to pay dividends in the future will be a decision for the Board (and will be subject to applicablelaws and generally accepted accounting principles from time to time, and other factors the Board deemsrelevant).

No profit to dateThe Group has incurred aggregate losses since its inception and it is therefore not possible to evaluate itsprospects based on past performance. Since the Group first commercially launched its core platform inJanuary 2017 and is in the process of ramping up market share, there can be no certainty that the Groupwill achieve or sustain profitability or achieve or sustain positive cash flow from its activities.

Future operating resultsThe Company’s operating results may fluctuate significantly in the future due to a variety of factors, many ofwhich are outside its control. Accordingly, investors should not rely on comparisons with the Company’sresults to date as an indication of future performance. Factors that may affect the Company’s operatingresults include increased competition, an increased level of expenses, technological change necessitatingadditional capital expenditure, slower than expected sales and changes to the statutory and regulatoryregime in which it operates. It is possible that, in the future, the Company’s operating results may fall belowthe expectations of market analysts or investors. If this occurs, the trading price of the Ordinary Shares maydecline significantly.

Use of the net proceeds receivable by the Company from the PlacingThe use of net proceeds from the Placing as described in Part II of this document is based on the Directors’current expectations. There are no restrictions on the Company’s use of net proceeds. Investors will nothave the opportunity to evaluate the economic, financial or other information on which the Company basesits decisions on how to use the net proceeds. The failure of the Company’s management to apply thesefunds effectively could harm investor confidence and cause the price of the Ordinary Shares to decline.

Retention of key business relationshipsThe Group will rely significantly on strategic relationships with other entities and on third parties to provideessential contracting services. There can be no assurance that its existing relationships will continue to bemaintained or that new ones will be successfully formed, and the Group could be adversely affected bychanges to such relationships or difficulties in forming new ones. Any circumstance which causes the earlytermination or non-renewal of one or more of these key business alliances or contracts could adverselyimpact the Group, its business, operating results and prospects.

Market perceptionMarket perception of technology companies in general, may change, which could impact on the value ofinvestors’ holdings and the ability of the Group to raise further funds through the issue of further OrdinaryShares in the Company or otherwise.

Insurance coverage and uninsured risksThe Group insures its operations in accordance with industry practice and plans to insure the risks itconsiders appropriate for the Group’s needs and circumstances. However, the Group may elect not to haveinsurance for certain risks, due to the high premium costs associated with insuring those risks or for variousother reasons, including an assessment in some cases that the risks are remote.

No assurance can be given that the Group will be able to obtain insurance coverage at reasonable rates (orat all), or that any coverage it or the relevant operator obtains, and any proceeds of insurance, will beadequate and available to cover any claims arising. In the event that insurance coverage is not available orthe Group’s insurance is insufficient to fully cover any losses, claims and/or liabilities incurred, or indemnitiesare difficult to enforce, the Group’s business and operations, financial results or financial position may bedisrupted and adversely affected. The payment by the Group’s insurers of any insurance claims may resultin increases in the premiums payable by the Group for its insurance cover and adversely affect the Group’sfinancial performance. In the future, some or all of the Group’s insurance coverage may become unavailableor prohibitively expensive.

Future litigationFrom time to time, the Group may be subject, directly or indirectly, to litigation arising out of its operations.Damages claimed under such litigation may be material or may be indeterminate, and the outcome of suchlitigation may materially impact the Group’s business, results of operations or financial condition. While theGroup assesses the merits of each lawsuit and defends itself accordingly, it may be required to incursignificant expenses or devote significant resources to defending itself against such litigation. In addition,the adverse publicity surrounding such claims may have a material adverse effect on the Group’s business.

The United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the EU may have a negative effect on global economicconditions, financial markets and the Group’s businessFollowing the vote of a majority of the eligible members of the electorate in the United Kingdom to withdrawfrom the EU in the national referendum held on 23 June 2016, the UK government served notice underArticle 50 of the Treaty of the European Union on 29 March 2017 to formally initiate a withdrawal process.The United Kingdom and the EU have a two-year period under Article 50 to negotiate the terms forwithdrawal. Any extension of the negotiation period for withdrawal will require the consent of all of theremaining 27 member states.

The referendum and withdrawal have created significant uncertainty about the future relationship betweenthe United Kingdom and the EU. Lack of clarity about future UK laws and regulations as the United Kingdomdetermines which EU-derived laws and regulations to replace or replicate as part of a withdrawal, includingfinancial laws and regulations, tax and free trade agreements, intellectual property rights, supply chainlogistics, environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, immigration laws and employment laws,could decrease foreign direct investment in the United Kingdom, increase costs, depress economic activityand restrict the Group’s access to capital. If the United Kingdom and the EU are unable to negotiateacceptable withdrawal terms or if other EU member states pursue withdrawal, barrier-free access betweenthe United Kingdom and other EU member states or among the European economic area overall could be

diminished or eliminated. These developments, or the perception that any of them could occur, have hadand may continue to have a significant adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability ofglobal financial markets, and could significantly reduce global market liquidity and restrict the ability of keymarket participants to operate in certain financial markets. Asset valuations, currency exchange rates andcredit ratings may be especially subject to increased market volatility. Any of these factors could have asignificant adverse effect on appScatter’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

EIS and VCT statusThe Company received advance assurance from HMRC on 23 May 2017 that: (i) HMRC would be able toauthorise the company to issue certificates to qualifying individual investors in respect of the EIS undersection 204(1) Income Tax Act 2007 in respect of the issue of a proportion of the Placing Shares; and (ii) aproportion of Placing Shares to be issued will be ‘eligible shares’ in accordance with section 285(3) IncomeTax Act 2007 which may form part of a qualifying holding under Chapter 4 of Part 6 of the Income Tax Act2007.

These assurances are given on the basis of the Company, and both the EIS and VCT investors meeting therequirements set out in Part 5 and Part 6 respectively of the Income Tax Act 2007.

The provisional approval relates only to the qualifying status of the Company and its shares and does notguarantee that any particular VCT will qualify for relief in respect of an acquisition of Ordinary Shares. Thecontinuing availability of EIS relief and the status of the relevant Placing Shares as a qualifying holding forVCT purposes will be conditional inter alia, on the Company continuing to satisfy the requirements for aqualifying company throughout the period of three years from the date of the investor making their investment(under EIS) and, for VCT purposes, throughout the period the Ordinary Shares are held as a “qualifyingholding”.

Circumstances may arise where the Board believes that the interests of the Company are not best servedby acting in a way that preserves the EIS or VCT qualifying status (if granted). However, the Company hasundertaken to Smith & Williamson and Stifel that it will (save to the extent it has received the prior writtenconsent of Smith & Williamson and Stifel, each of whom may give or withhold such consent in its absolutediscretion) take all actions as may be required from time to time to maintain, and (save as aforesaid) refrainfrom taking any action (other than an action which the Company is required to take by applicable law) whichwould result in the failure of the Company to maintain, its qualifying status for EIS Relief and VCT Relief.Should the law regarding the EIS or VCTs change then any relief or qualifying status previously obtainedmay be lost. Any person who is in any doubt as to their taxation position should consult their professionaltaxation adviser in order that they may fully understand how the rules apply in their individual circumstances.

RISKS RELATING TO THE ORDINARY SHARES

AIMThe Ordinary Shares will be admitted to AIM and it is emphasised that at this time no application is beingmade for admission of the Ordinary Shares to the Official List or to any other stock exchange. An investmentin shares quoted on AIM may be less liquid and may carry a higher risk than an investment in shares quotedon the Official List. The rules of AIM are less demanding than those of the Official List. Further, the LondonStock Exchange has not itself examined or approved the contents of this document. A prospective investorshould be aware of the risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest onlyafter careful consideration and, if appropriate, consultation with an independent financial adviser.

The market price of the Ordinary Shares may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to many factors,including variations in the operating results of the Company, divergence in financial results from analysts’expectations, changes in earnings estimates by stock market analysts, general economic conditions, overallmarket or sector sentiment, legislative changes in the Company’s sector and other events and factors outsideof the Company’s control.

Stock markets have from time to time experienced severe price and volume fluctuations, a recurrence ofwhich could adversely affect the market price for the Ordinary Shares.

Economic conditions and current economic weaknessAny economic downturn either globally or locally in any area in which the Group operates may have anadverse effect on the demand for the Group’s products. A more prolonged economic downturn may leadto an overall decline in the volume of the Group’s sales, restricting the Group’s ability to realise a profit. Themarkets in which the Group offers its services are directly affected by many national and international factorsthat are beyond the Group’s control.

Market risksThe Group may be affected by general market trends which are unrelated to the performance of the Groupitself. The Group’s success will depend on market acceptance of the Group’s products and there can be noguarantee that this acceptance will be forthcoming. Market opportunities targeted by the Group may changeand this could lead to an adverse effect upon its revenue and earnings.

TaxationAny change in the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ tax status or in tax legislation could affect the Company’sability to provide returns to shareholders. Statements in this document in relation to tax and concerning thetaxation of investors in Ordinary Shares are based on current tax law and practice which is subject to change.The taxation of an investment in the Company depends on the specific circumstances of the relevant investor.

The nature and amount of tax which members of the Group expect to pay and the reliefs expected to beavailable to any member of the Group are each dependent upon a number of assumptions, any one ofwhich may change and which would, if so changed, affect the nature and amount of tax payable and reliefsavailable. In particular, the nature and amount of tax payable is dependent on the availability of relief undertax treaties in a number of jurisdictions and is subject to changes to the tax laws or practice in any of thejurisdictions affecting the Group. Any limitation in the availability of relief under these treaties, any change inthe terms of any such treaty or any changes in tax law, interpretation or practice could increase the amountof tax payable by the Group.

Investment riskAn investment in a share which is traded on AIM, such as the Ordinary Shares, may be difficult to realiseand carries a high degree of risk. The ability of an investor to sell Ordinary Shares will depend on there beinga willing buyer for them at an acceptable price. Investors may therefore realise less than, or lose all of, theirinvestment.

Investors should be aware that, following Admission, the market price of the Ordinary Shares may be volatileand may go down as well as up and investors may therefore be unable to recover their original investmentand could even lose their entire investment. This volatility could be attributable to various facts and events,including the availability of information for determining the market value of an investment in the Company,any regulatory or economic changes affecting the Group’s operations, variations in the Group’s operatingresults, developments in the Group’s business or its competitors, or changes in market sentiment towardsthe Ordinary Shares. In addition, the Group’s operating results and prospects from time to time may bebelow the expectations of market analysts and investors.

Volatility of the value of the Company’s Ordinary SharesInvestors should be aware that the value of the Ordinary Shares may be volatile and may go down as wellas up and investors may therefore not recover any or all of their original investment, especially as the marketin Ordinary Shares on AIM may have limited liquidity.

In addition, the price at which investors may dispose of their Ordinary Shares may be influenced by a numberof factors, some of which may pertain to the Company, and others of which are extraneous. These factorscould include the performance of the Company’s operations, large purchases or sales of Ordinary Shares,liquidity (or absence of liquidity) in the Ordinary Shares, currency fluctuations, legislative or regulatory ortaxation changes and general economic conditions. The value of the Ordinary Shares will therefore fluctuateand may not reflect their underlying asset value. Investors may realise less than the original amount invested.

Shareholder taxInvestors should take their own tax advice as to the consequences of owning shares in the Company aswell as receiving returns from it. In particular investors should be aware that ownership of shares in theCompany can be treated in different ways in different jurisdictions.

IlliquidityThere will have been no public trading market for the Ordinary Shares prior to Admission. The OrdinaryShares may therefore be illiquid in the short to medium term and, accordingly, an investor may find it difficultto sell Ordinary Shares, either at all or at an acceptable price. Further, the Group can give no assurance thatan active trading market for the Ordinary Shares will develop, or if such a market develops, that it will besustained. If an active trading market does not develop or is not maintained, the liquidity and trading priceof the Ordinary Shares could be adversely affected and investors may have difficulty selling their OrdinaryShares. The market price of the Ordinary Shares may drop below the Placing Price. Any investment in theOrdinary Shares should be viewed as a long term investment.

Litigation risksWhilst the Group has taken, and the Company intends the Group to continue to take, such precautions asit regards appropriate to avoid or minimise the likelihood of any legal proceedings or claims, or any resultingfinancial loss to the Group, the Directors cannot preclude the possibility of litigation being brought againstthe Group, including in the United States. Any litigation brought in the future involving the Group’s productsor services, for example, pursuant to end user licence and service agreements that provide indemnificationfor infringement of third party intellectual property, could have a material adverse effect on the Group’sbusiness.

There can be no assurance that claimants in any litigation proceedings will not be able to devote substantiallygreater financial resources to any litigation proceedings or that the Group will prevail in any such litigation.Any litigation, whether or not determined in the Group’s favour or settled by the Group, may be costly andmay divert the efforts and attention of the Group’s management and other personnel from normal businessoperations.

Significant shareholders and Concert PartyFollowing Admission, the Directors will, in aggregate, hold approximately 28.17 per cent. of the EnlargedShare Capital and the Concert Party consisting of Philip Marcella, William Booth, David Edward Jones, Jean-Luc Marcella and Victor Marcella will, on Admission, hold approximately 29.60 per cent. of the EnlargedShare Capital. Either the Directors or the Concert Party may be able to exert significant influence over theCompany in respect of its corporate affairs requiring shareholder approval.

Restrictions on transfers under US legislationThe Ordinary Shares have not been registered in the United States under the Securities Act or under otherapplicable securities law and are subject to restrictions on transfer contained in such law.

They may not be resold in the United States, except pursuant to an exemption from the registrationrequirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities law.

These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this document. The Company expresslydisclaims any obligation or undertaking to disseminate any updates or revisions to any forward-lookingstatements contained herein to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations with regard thereto, anynew information or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statements arebased, unless required to do so by law or any appropriate regulatory authority.

Notes to the Group Historical Financial Information

1. General informationThe consolidated financial information represents the results of appScatter Limited (“the Company”) andappScatter LLC and DSH Labs LLC, its subsidiaries (together referred to as “the Group”). See ‘Basis ofconsolidation’ below for an explanation of how the results have been consolidated.

appScatter Limited is a limited company incorporated and domiciled in England and Wales. The registeredoffice of the Company is Salisbury House, London Wall, London, England, EC2M 5PS. The registeredcompany number is 09786498.

The Company’s principal activity is development and commercialisation of a distribution platform for mobileapplication developers and publishers. The Company was incorporated on 21 September 2015 and on18 May 2016 it acquired appScatter LLC, a company incorporated in Delaware, USA and DSH Labs LLC,its subsidiary.

The Directors of the Company are responsible for the financial information and contents of the AIM admissiondocument in which it is included.

2. Accounting policiesThe principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of the financial information are set out below.These policies have been consistently applied to all periods presented, unless otherwise stated below.

Basis of preparation

The financial information has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards,International Accounting Standards and Interpretations (collectively IFRSs), as adopted by the EuropeanUnion. This is the first financial information of the Company prepared in accordance with IFRS and theCompany has applied IFRS 1 ‘First time adoption of IFRS’ from the transition date of 1 January 2014.

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with adopted IFRSs requires the use of certain criticalaccounting estimates. It also requires Group management to exercise judgment in applying the Group’saccounting policies. The key estimates and underlying assumptions concerning the future and other keysources of estimation uncertainty at the statement of financial position date, that have a significant risk ofcausing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial periodare reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in whichthe estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periodsif the revision affects both current and future periods.

The Company does not believe there were any areas where significant judgments and estimates have beenmade in preparing the financial statements except for the intangible assets, which is discussed in theaccounting policy below.

The presentation currency of the financial information is Pound Sterling (£). The Company’s functionalcurrency is Pound Sterling (£) and its subsidiaries’ functional currency is US Dollar (US$).

Composition of the group

A list of the subsidiary undertakings which, in the opinion of the Directors, principally affected the amountsof profit or loss and net assets of the Group is given in note 10 of the financial information.

Changes in accounting policies and disclosures

As this is the first set of IFRS accounts being prepared, all relevant standards have been adopted for thefirst time. Under SIR 2000, the Group is required to adopt the relevant standards that would apply to thefirst set of IFRS accounts following the listing.

40

(a) New and amended standards adopted by the Group

The Group has applied any applicable new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations thatare mandatory for the financial year beginning on or after 1 January 2016. However, none of them has amaterial impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

(b) New, amended standards, interpretations not adopted by the Group

At the date of authorisation of this financial information, certain new standards, amendments andinterpretations to existing standards applicable to the Company’s accounting period beginning after1 January 2016 have been published but are not yet effective, and have not been adopted early by theCompany. These are listed below:

● IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, effective date 1 January 2018, subject to theendorsement by the EU. IFRS 15 is intended to clarify the principles of revenue recognition andestablish a single framework for revenue recognition. This standard replaces the previous standard IAS11 Construction Contracts, IAS18 Revenue and revenue related IFRICs. The core principle is that anentity should recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers inan amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange forthose goods or services. The impact of this standard has not yet been assessed.

● IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, effective date 1 January 2018, subject to the endorsement by the EU.IFRS 9 is a replacement for IAS 39 ‘Financial Instruments’ and covers three distinct areas. Phase 1contains new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities.Phase 2 relates to the impairment of financial assets and requires the calculation of impairment on anexpected loss basis rather than the current incurred loss basis. Phase 3 relates to less stringentrequirements for general hedge accounting. This standard is not expected to affect the reported figures.

● IFRS 16 Lease, effective date 1 January 2019 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement,presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract, i.e. the customer (‘lessee’) andthe supplier (‘lessor’). IFRS 16 completes the IASB’s project to improve the financial reporting of leasesand replaces the previous leases Standard, IAS 17 Leases, and related Interpretations. The impact ofthis standard has not yet been assessed.

Going concern

The directors have reviewed the working capital requirements of the business for the next twelve months.They are confident that based on funding commitments received at 31 December 2016 from various sourcesand the results of the placing, the company will have sufficient working capital to meet its obligations asthey fall due. Therefore, for these reasons the accounts have been prepared on the going concern basis.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the results of the Company and its subsidiaries (“the Group”)as if they formed a single entity for the full period or, in the case of acquisitions, from the date control istransferred to the Group. The Company controls an entity, when the Company has the power, either directlyor indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of another entity or business so as to obtainbenefits from its activities, it is classified as a subsidiary. Intercompany transactions and balances betweenGroup companies are therefore eliminated in full.

On 18 May 2016 appScatter Merger Sub LLC, a subsidiary of appScatter Limited was merged with andinto appScatter LLC, with the latter company continuing as the surviving entity. The entire issued sharecapital of appScatter LLC was for a consideration of £12,659,030 and this was satisfied by the issue of9,967,740 shares in appScatter Limited.

Management has treated the acquisition as a reverse takeover, after identifying appScatter LLC (theaccounting acquirer or “appScatter”) as the acquirer under IFRS 3 ‘Business Combinations’. In addition,this transaction cannot be considered a business combination, as the Company does not meet the definitionof a business, under IFRS 3 ‘Business Combinations’. However, the accounting for such transaction shouldbe treated as a share-based payment transaction and therefore accounted for under IFRS 2 ‘Share-basedpayment’. Any difference between the consideration transferred, which is the fair value of the shares deemedto have been issued by appScatter and the fair value of the Company’s identifiable net assets represents a

41

Page 43: ADMISSION DOCUMENT - appScatter · This document is an admission document required by the rules of AIM, a market operated by the London Stock Exchange. This document does not constitute

service received by the accounting acquirer. This deemed cost on reverse takeover is expensed to profitor loss.

The fair value of the consideration transferred is calculated using the number of appScatter’s shares thatwould have been issued to the owners of the Company on the acquisition date to give them an equivalentownership interest in appScatter as it has in the combined company at the share price of the Company atthe acquisition date. The fair value of each share of the Company is deemed to have been issued byappScatter is based on the fair value of the share price of the Company at the time of the acquisition, whichwas the market price third party investors were subscribing for new shares at shortly before the transaction.

Although the consolidated financial information has been issued in the name of the Company, the legalparent, it represents in substance continuation of the financial information of appScatter LLC and DSH LLC,its subsidiary (“appScatter subgroup”).

The assets and liabilities of appScatter subgroup are recognised and measured in the Group financialstatements at the pre-combination carrying amounts and not re-stated at fair value.

The historical financial information has been prepared as follows:

Year ended 31 December 2014

The historical financial information for this reporting year is that of appScatter subgroup. This is consolidatedin accordance with IFRS.

Year ended 31 December 2015

The historical financial information for this reporting year is that of appScatter subgroup. Their financial resultshave been consolidated in accordance with IFRS but excluding the Company’s results from 15 September2015 (date of incorporation) to 31 December 2015. The Company’s results have been transferred andincluded in the reverse takeover reserve in the year ended 31 December 2016.

Year ended 31 December 2016

The historical financial information for this reporting year is that of appScatter subgroup and thepost-acquisition results of the Company from 18 May 2016 (date of reverse takeover) to 31 December 2016.The Company’s pre-acquisition results from 1st January 2016 to 18 May 2016 have been transferred andincluded in the reverse takeover reserve. This is in accordance with IFRS.

Results of appScatter Limited – 2015 and 2016The pre-acquisition losses of the Company that were excluded from the consolidated income for thefollowing years are as follow:

Foreign Currency

The main functional currencies for the Company’s subsidiaries are US$.

Foreign currency transactions and balances

(i) Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange ratesprevailing at the dates of the transactions.

(ii) Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from thetranslation at the reporting period end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominatedin foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement.

(iii) Share capital, share premium and brought forward earnings are translated using the exchange ratesprevailing at the dates of the transactions.

Consolidation of foreign entities

On consolidation, results of the foreign entities are translated from the local functional currency to PoundSterling using average exchange rates during the period. All asset and liabilities are translated from the localfunctional currency to Pound Sterling using the reporting period end exchange rates. These exchangedifferences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign entities are recognised in othercomprehensive income and accumulated in a separate component of equity.

Post transition exchange differences are recycled to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment upondisposal of the foreign operation.

Intangible assets

Externally acquired: developed technologies

The externally acquired developed technologies which are the distribution platform for mobile applicationsare initially recognised at cost. This asset will be amortised over its useful life when it is being sold or used.Subsequent to initial recognition, this intangible asset is reported at cost less accumulated amortisation andaccumulated impairment losses. The carrying values are tested for impairment when there is an indicationthat the value of the assets might be impaired during the period. The amortisation period and amortisationmethod with a finite useful life are reviewed annually at year end. The assets have not been amortised in thethree reporting years as they are not in use.

The assessment of the future economic benefits generated by the above intangible asset involves asignificant degree of judgement based on management estimation of future potential revenue and profit andthe useful life of the assets. Reviews are performed regularly to ensure the recoverability of this intangibleasset.

Property, plant and equipment

Low value items are expensed to the profit or loss in the year of purchase. The Group has no property, plantand equipment assets in the three reporting years.

Research and development

Research expenditure is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred.

Internal development expenditure is capitalised only if it meets the recognition criteria of IAS 38 ‘IntangibleAssets’. Where the criteria are not met, the expenditure is expensed to profit or loss. At each reporting year2014 to 2016, no amounts have met recognition criteria as the cost of the development cost of the assetcannot be measured reliably.

Employee benefits

Short-term benefits

Wages, salaries, paid annual leave and sick leave, bonuses and non-monetary benefits are accrued in theperiod in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Company.

43

Page 45: ADMISSION DOCUMENT - appScatter · This document is an admission document required by the rules of AIM, a market operated by the London Stock Exchange. This document does not constitute

Deferred taxation

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised where the carrying amount of an asset or liability in thestatement of financial position differs from its tax base, except for differences arising on:

● the initial recognition of goodwill;

● the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and atthe time of the transaction affects neither accounting or taxable profit; and

● investments in subsidiaries where the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of thedifference and it is probable that the difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Recognition of deferred tax assets is restricted to those instances where it is probable that taxable profit willbe available against which the difference can be utilised.

The amount of the asset or liability is determined using tax rates that have been enacted or substantiallyenacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the deferred tax liabilities or assets aresettled or recovered. Deferred tax balances are not discounted.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the Company has a legally enforceable right to offsetcurrent tax assets and liabilities.

Operating segments

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chiefoperating decision-maker. The chief operating decision maker has been identified as Philip Marcella.

The Board considers that the Company’s activity constitutes one operating and one reporting segment, asdefined under IFRS 8 and reviews the performance of the Company against forecasts.

The profit measures are operating profit and profit for the period, both disclosed on the face of the incomestatement. No differences exist between the basis of preparation of the performance measures used bymanagement and the figures in the Company financial information.

Equity instruments

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Costs, net of VAT, directly attributable to the issue of new shares oroptions are shown in equity as a deduction from share premium.

Financial assets

The Group classifies its financial assets into the categories, discussed below, based upon the purpose forwhich the asset was acquired. Financial assets are recognised when the Company becomes party to theprovisions of a contract.

Loans and receivables

The Company classifies all its financial assets other than cash and cash equivalents as trade and otherreceivables (excluding prepayments). The classification depends on the nature of the financial assets.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and deposits held on call, together with other short-termhighly liquid investments which are not subject to significant changes in value and have original maturitiesof less than three months.

Trade and other Receivables

Trade and other receivables are classified as loans and receivables under financial assets where they havefixed or determined payments and are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables included infinancial assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairmentloss. Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivableswhen the recognition of interest would be immaterial.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes party to the provisions of a contract.The Group’s financial liabilities are all categorised as loans and payables. The loans and payables are madeup of:

● Trade payables and other short-term monetary liabilities excluding other taxes and social security costsand deferred income which are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently carried at amortisedcost using the effective interest method.

● Bank and other borrowings are initially recognised at fair value net of any transaction costs directlyattributable to the issue of the instrument and, if interest-bearing, are subsequently measured atamortised cost.

A financial liability is no longer recognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled orexpires.

(b) Fair value hierarchy

All the financial assets and financial liabilities recognised in the financial statements which are short-term in nature are shown at the carrying value which also approximates the fair values of those financialinstruments. Therefore, no separate disclosure for fair value hierarchy is required.

(c) Risk and sensitivity analysis

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, mainly credit risk, interest risk, foreignexchange risk and liquidity risk.

The Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on unpredictability and seeks to minimisethe potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial performance. The Group’s Board, on a regularbasis, reviews key risks and, where appropriate, takes actions to mitigate the key risks identified.

(i) Credit risk

The aggregate financial exposure is continuously monitored. The maximum exposure to creditrisk is the value of the outstanding amount of other receivables and bank balances. The Groupdoes not consider that there is any concentration of risk within other receivables, particularly inthe amounts receivable from shareholders on shares to be issued in December 2016 of£4.8 million. Therefore, no impairment was required. The Group’s exposure to credit risk on cash

and cash equivalents is considered low as the bank accounts are with banks with high creditratings.

(ii) Interest risk

The Group’s exposure in these areas as at the financial position date was minimal. Interest paidon loans was at fixed rates.

(iii) Foreign exchange risk

The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk related primarily to cash and cash equivalents,trade and other payables that are denominated in US$ other than the functional currency of therelevant group entities.

(iv) Exposure to currency risk

The following table details the Group’s exposure at the end of the reporting period to currencyrisk arising from recognised assets or liabilities denominated in US$. Differences resulting fromthe translation of the financial statements of the entity within the Group into the Group’spresentation currency are excluded.

Changes in tax rates for the three periods

The UK corporation tax rate for small company profit has been maintained at 20 per cent. for the threeperiods. Accordingly, the deferred tax asset or liability would have been calculated based on the rate of20 per cent. at the balance sheet date. Future enacted tax rates of 19 per cent. will apply from 1 April 2017and 18 per cent. from 1 April 2020.

Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of tax losses due to lack of certainty of futureprofitability as the Company is still in its early start-up stage.

(a) the Shareholder shall not be entitled in respect of the default Ordinary Shares or any otherOrdinary Shares held by the Shareholder to attend and vote either personally or by proxy at anygeneral meeting of the Company or to exercise any other right conferred on Shareholders inrelation to any such meeting or poll; and

(b) where the default Ordinary Shares represent at least 0.25 per cent. in nominal value of theirclass the Board may direct that:

(iii) For the purposes of ensuring (b)(ii) can apply to all shares held by the Shareholder, theCompany may in accordance with the uncertificated securities rules, issue a writtennotification to the operator requiring conversion into certificated form of any share held bythe member in uncertificated form.

The above restrictions shall continue until either the default is remedied or the Ordinary Shares arethe subject of an approved transfer. Any dividends withheld shall be paid to the Shareholder as soonas practicable after the above restrictions lapse.

Alterations to Capital

Except as otherwise provided by or pursuant to the Articles or by the conditions of issue, any newOrdinary Share capital shall be considered as part of the existing Ordinary Share capital, and shall besubject to the same provisions with reference to the payment of calls, transfer, transmission, forfeiture,lien and otherwise as the existing Ordinary Share capital.

The Company may from time to time by ordinary resolution:

(a) cancel any Ordinary Shares which at the date of the passing of the resolution have not beentaken or agreed to be taken by any person and diminish the amount of its Ordinary Share capitalby the amount of the Ordinary Shares so cancelled;

(b) sub divide its Ordinary Shares, or any of them, into Ordinary Shares of smaller amount than itsexisting Ordinary Shares, subject nevertheless to the provisions of Section 618(2) of the 2006Act and so that the resolution whereby any Ordinary Share is sub divided may determine that,as between the holders of the Ordinary Shares resulting from such sub division, one or more ofthe Ordinary Shares may have any such preferred or other special rights over, or may have suchdeferred rights, or be subject to any such restrictions, as compared with the others, as theCompany has power to attach to unissued or new Ordinary Shares.

Upon any consolidation of fully paid Ordinary Shares into Ordinary Shares of larger amount the Boardmay settle any difficulty which may arise with regard thereto and in particular may, as between theholders of Ordinary Shares so consolidated, determine which Ordinary Shares are consolidated intoeach consolidated Ordinary Share and in the case of any Ordinary Shares registered in the name ofone Shareholder being consolidated with Ordinary Shares registered in the name of anotherShareholder the Board may make such arrangements for the allotment, acceptance and/or sale ofOrdinary Shares representing fractional entitlements to the consolidated Ordinary Share or for thesale of the consolidated Ordinary Share and may sell the fractions or the consolidated Ordinary Shareeither upon the market or otherwise to such person at such time and at such price as it may think fitand shall distribute the net proceeds of sale among such Shareholders rateably in accordance withtheir rights and interests in the consolidated Ordinary Share or the fractions and for the purposes ofgiving effect to any such sale the Board may, in respect of certificated Ordinary Shares, appoint someperson to transfer the Ordinary Shares or fractions sold to any purchaser thereof and suchappointment and any transfer executed in pursuance thereof shall be effective and, in respect ofuncertificated Ordinary Shares, may authorise any person to transfer such Ordinary Shares or fractionssold to any purchaser thereof in accordance with the facilities and requirements of the relevant systemconcerned and any transfer executed in pursuant thereof shall be effective. Provided that the Boardshall have power when making such arrangements to determine that no Shareholder shall be entitledto receive such net proceeds of sale unless his entitlement exceeds such amount as the Board shalldetermine and if the Board exercises such power, the net proceeds of sale not distributed toShareholders as a result shall belong absolutely to the Company. For the purposes of the Articles,any Ordinary Shares representing fractional entitlements to which any Shareholder would, but for theArticles, become entitled may be issued in certificated form or uncertificated form.

The Articles do not prevent the Company from purchasing its own Ordinary Shares in accordancewith the provisions of the 2006 Act.

In addition, AIM Rule 17 requires notification withoutdelay of any changes to the holding of a significant shareholder (as defined in the AIM Rules,which may include a Director) above three per cent. which increase or decrease such holdingthrough any single percentage. Schedule 5 to the AIM Rules specifies what information mustbe disclosed.

Pursuant to sections 983 to 985 of the 2006 Act, where an offeror makes a takeover offer asdefined by section 974 of the 2006 Act and, by virtue of acceptances of the offer and any otheracquisitions holds or has agreed to acquire not less than 90 per cent. of the shares in the target(or if the offer relates to a class of shares 90 per cent. of the shares in that class) and whichcarry not less than 90 per cent. of the voting rights in the target, then a minority shareholderwho has not accepted the offer may require the offeror to acquire his shares in the target on thesame terms as the general offer.

11.16 Neither UK stamp duty nor stamp duty reserve tax should arise on transfers of Ordinary Shares onAIM (including instruments transferring Shares and agreements to transfer Ordinary Shares) basedon the following assumptions:

(a) the Ordinary Shares are admitted to trading on AIM, but are not listed on any market (with theterm “listed” being construed in accordance with section 99A of the Finance Act 1986), andthis has been certified to Euroclear; and

(b) AIM continues to be accepted as a “recognised growth market” as construed in accordancewith section 99A of the Finance Act 1986).

11.17 In the event that either of the above assumptions does not apply, stamp duty or stamp duty reservetax may apply to transfers of Ordinary Shares in certain circumstances.

11.18 The above comments are intended as a guide to the general stamp duty and stamp duty reserve taxposition and may not relate to persons such as charities, market makers, brokers, dealers,intermediaries and persons connected with depositary arrangements or clearance services to whomspecial rules apply.

investors. Any potential investor should obtain independent advice from a professional advisor as aclaim for relief will be conditional upon his or her own circumstances and is subject to holding theshares throughout the relevant three year period.

In addition, for EIS relief not to be withdrawn, the Company must comply with a number of conditionsthroughout the qualifying period relating to Ordinary Shares.

In summary, EIS relief may be available where a qualifying company issues new ordinary shares, thepurpose of which is to raise money for a qualifying business activity. The EIS shares must besubscribed for in cash and be fully paid up at the date of issue and must be held, broadly, for threeyears after they were issued.

EIS income tax relief is available to individuals only – the current relief is 30 per cent. of the amountsubscribed for EIS shares to be set against the individual’s income tax liability for the tax year in whichthe EIS investment is made, and is available up to a maximum of £1,000,000 in EIS subscriptionsper tax year. This relief can be ‘carried back’ one tax year (subject to the overriding limit for relief inthat tax year). This relief is only available to individuals who are not connected with the Company inthe period of two years prior to and three years after the subscription.

Very broadly, an individual is connected with the issuing company if, inter alia, he or his associatesare employees or directors or have an interest in more than 30 per cent. of the Company’s ordinaryshare capital or voting rights.

Where EIS income tax relief has been given and has not been withdrawn, any gain on the subsequentdisposal of the shares in qualifying circumstances is generally free from capital gains tax. If the sharesare disposed of at a loss, capital gains tax relief will generally be available for that loss net of any

income tax relief previously given. Alternatively, an election can be made to set that loss (less anyincome tax relief already given) against income of that year or any income of the previous year.

Individuals and trustees who have realised gains on other assets within one year before or up to threeyears after the EIS shares are issued, are able to defer a capital gains tax liability arising on thosegains by making a claim to reinvest an amount of those gains against the cost of the EIS sharesubscription. Deferred gains will become chargeable on a disposal or deemed disposal of the EISshares. The investor can be connected with the Company (as outlined above) and obtain such capitalgains tax deferral relief.
