Deferred shares

 

Deferred shares have the following properties:

 

a. do not entitle their holders to receive any dividend or other distribution;
b. do not entitle their holders to receive a share certificate in respect of the relevant shareholding;
c. do not entitle their holders to receive notice of, nor to attend, speak or vote at, any general meeting of the Company;
d. entitles their holders on a return of capital on a winding up of the Company (but not otherwise) only to the repayment of the amount paid up on that share after payment of the capital paid up on each Ordinary Share in the share capital of the Company and the further payment of £100,000,000 on each ordinary share;
e. do not entitle their holders to any further participation in the capital, profits or assets of the Company. The Deferred Shares shall not be capable of transfer at any time other than with the prior written consent of the directors of the Company.

 

A Ordinary shares

 

The A Ordinary shares ranked equally with all other shares in issue in that on a vote every member has one vote for each share held. The A ordinary shares contain preferential economic rights such that, in the event of a share or asset sale (as defined in the Articles of association), they provide a return to the holders of the A Ordinary Shares of an amount greater than or equal to 1.5x the price paid by the investors for A Ordinary Shares. The A Ordinary shares have an anti-dilution provision where shares are subsequently issued at a price below £215.00 per share, whereby the existing A Ordinary shareholders receive additional compensation shares in line with the formula set out in the Articles of Association. The A Ordinary shares rank equally with all other shares in issue with respect to dividends.

 

Immediately prior to the completion of the IPO, 24,693 ordinary shares were issued, under the terms of our Articles of Association to certain shareholders who, prior to the IPO, owned A ordinary shares which carried the right, to subscribe at nominal value for a certain number of additional shares, calculated by reference to the pre-money valuation of the IPO. As part of the IPO share issue, TC BioPharm (Holdings) plc re-organized its share capital whereby all of the outstanding series A ordinary shares were re-designated as ordinary shares of TC BioPharm (Holdings) plc on a one for one basis and as such no anti-dilution provisions are included within the issued share capital.

 

Group reorganization and IPO

 

Following a corporate reorganization on December 17, 2021, TC BioPharm (Holdings) plc became the ultimate parent company for the Group.

On December 17, 2021 and subsequent to the group reorganization, the Company undertook a share split such that one issued share was exchanged for ten new shares. As a result of the share split, all references in these consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to units of ordinary shares or per share amounts are reflective of the forward share split for all periods presented.
