Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K, dated June 30, 2026, reports on the results of the Company's 2026 Annual General Meeting held on July 2, 2026, and a significant regulatory event regarding its stock listing status. The Company is an emerging growth company incorporated in England and Wales.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. The document notes that the Company's directors do not recommend the payment of any dividend for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
Material Changes and Corporate Actions
- Stock Listing Status: The Company received a notice from Nasdaq granting an additional 180-day extension (until December 28, 2026) to regain compliance with the minimum $1.00 bid price requirement. Consequently, the listing of American Depositary Shares (ADSs) was transferred from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market effective July 2, 2026.

- Quorum: 17,549,280 shares were present or represented by proxy out of 40,848,893 shares entitled to vote.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
The Company faces the risk of delisting if it fails to regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement by December 28, 2026. Management intends to monitor the bid price and may consider a reverse stock split to resolve the deficiency. There is no assurance that the Company will regain compliance or avoid delisting. If delisting occurs, the Company would be entitled to appeal to a Nasdaq hearings panel.
Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Verify the current closing bid price of the ADSs to assess the likelihood of meeting the $1.00 threshold by the December 28, 2026 deadline.
