THIS DOCUMENT IS IMPORTANT AND REQUIRES YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. If you are in any doubt about the contents of this Document or the action you should take, you should immediately seek your own financial advice from your stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor, accountant or other independent adviser who is authorised under FSMA if you are in the United Kingdom, or, if outside the United Kingdom, from another appropriately authorised independent adviser.

This Document, which comprises an AIM admission document drawn up in accordance with the AIM Rules for Companies, has been issued in connection with an application for admission to trading on AIM of the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Catena Group plc. This Document does not constitute an offer or any part of any offer of transferable securities to the public within the meaning of section 102B of FSMA or otherwise. Accordingly, this Document does not constitute a prospectus for the purposes of section 85 of FSMA or otherwise, and has not been drawn up in accordance with the Prospectus Rules or filed with or approved by the FCA or any other competent authority.

The Existing Ordinary Shares are admitted to trading on AIM. Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the Enlarged Share Capital to be admitted to trading on AIM following the Resolutions being approved by Shareholders. It is expected that Admission will become effective and that trading in the Enlarged Share Capital will commence on AIM at 8.00 a.m. on 10 May 2021.

AIM is a market designed primarily for emerging or smaller companies to which a higher investment risk tends to be attached than to larger or more established companies. AIM securities are not admitted to the Official List of the FCA. A prospective investor should be aware of the risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after careful consideration and, if appropriate, consultation with an independent financial adviser. Each AIM company is required pursuant to the AIM Rules for Companies to have a nominated adviser. The nominated adviser is required to make a declaration to the London Stock Exchange on Admission in the form set out in Schedule Two to the AIM Rules for Nominated Advisers. The London Stock Exchange has not itself examined or approved the contents of this Document.

The Company (whose registered office appears on page 10 of this Document), the Directors and Proposed Directors, whose names appear on page 10 of this Document, accept responsibility, both collectively and individually, for the information contained in this Document and compliance with the AIM Rules for Companies. To the best of the knowledge and belief of the Company, the Directors and Proposed Directors (each of whom has taken all reasonable care to ensure that such is the case), the information contained in this Document is in accordance with the facts and contains no omission likely to affect the import of such information. In connection with this Document, no person is authorised to give any information or make any representation other than as contained in this Document.

The whole of this Document should be read. Investment in the Company is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Your attention is drawn in particular to Part II of this Document entitled "Risk Factors", which describes certain risks associated with an investment in Catena Group plc.

"may", "should", "could", "plans", "intends", "will", "believe" and similar expressions (or in each case their negative and other variations or comparable terminology) can be used to identify forward-looking statements. They appear in a number of places throughout this Document and include, but are not limited to, statements regarding intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, the Company's, the Existing Directors' and the Proposed Directors' intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, amongst other things, the Enlarged Group's prospects, growth and strategy.

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and circumstances. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and the development of the markets and the industry in which the Enlarged Group operates, may differ materially from those described in, or suggested by, the forward-looking statements contained in this Document. In addition, even if the development of the markets and the industry in which the Enlarged Group operates are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Document, those developments may not be indicative of developments in subsequent periods. A number of factors could cause developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements including, without limitation, general economic and business conditions, industry trends, competition, changes in regulation, currency fluctuations, changes in the Enlarged Group's business strategy, political and economic uncertainty and other factors discussed in Part I and Part II of this Document.

Any forward-looking statements in this document reflect current views with respect to future events and are subject to risks relating to future events and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to the Enlarged Group's operations and growth strategy. Investors should specifically consider the factors identified in this Document which could cause results to differ before making an investment decision. Subject to the requirements of applicable law or regulation, the Enlarged Group undertakes no obligation publicly to release the result of any revisions to any forward-looking statements in this Document that may occur due to any change in the expectations of the Existing Directors and Proposed Directors or to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Document.

Any forward-looking statement in this Document based on past or current trends and/or activities of the Enlarged Group should not be taken as a representation or assurance that such trends or activities will continue in the future. No statement in this Document is intended to be a profit forecast or to imply that the earnings of the Enlarged Group for the current year or future years will match or exceed the historical or published earnings of the Enlarged Group.

Rounding

Certain figures contained in this Document, including financial, statistical and operating information, have been subject to rounding adjustments. Accordingly, in certain circumstances, the sum of the numbers in a column or row in a table contained in this Document may not conform exactly to the total figure given for that column or row.

Market and industry information

Unless the source is otherwise identified, the market, economic and industry data and statistics in this Document constitute managements' estimates, using underlying data from third parties. The Company obtained market and economic data and certain industry statistics from internal reports, as well as from third-party sources as described in the footnotes to such information. All third-party information set out in this Document has been accurately reproduced and, so far as the Company is aware and has been able to ascertain from information published by the relevant third-party, no facts have been omitted which would render the reproduced information inaccurate or misleading. Such third-party information has not been audited or independently verified and the Company and the Existing Directors and Proposed Directors accept no responsibility for its accuracy or completeness.

Market and industry data is inherently predictive and speculative, and is not necessarily reflective of actual market conditions. Statistics in such data are based on market research, which itself is based on sampling and subjective judgments by both the researchers and the respondents, including judgments about what types of products and transactions should be included in the relevant market. The value of comparisons of statistics for different markets is limited by many factors, including that: (i) the markets are defined differently;

  1. the underlying information was gathered by different methods; and (iii) different assumptions were applied in compiling the data. Consequently, the industry publications and other reports referred to above generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but that the accuracy and completeness of such information is not guaranteed and, in some instances, these reports and publications state expressly that they do not assume liability for such information. Specifically, Zeus Capital has not authorised the contents of, or any part of, this document and accordingly no liability whatsoever is accepted by Zeus Capital for the accuracy or completeness of any market data attributed to them which is included in this Document.

No incorporation of website information

The contents of the Company's website, any website mentioned in this Document or any website directly or indirectly linked to these websites have not been verified and do not form part of this Document, and prospective investors should not rely on such information.
