In March 2026, under a written resolution of the shareholders authorising the allotment at par, the company allotted 1,125 ordinary shares of £1 each (700 A ordinary shares and 425 B ordinary shares) to its existing shareholders and to three employees, increasing the issued share capital to £1,250.
On 20 July 2026 the company allotted 1,875 C ordinary shares of £1 each to Mr P Szczypulkowski at £40 per share. The subscription price of £75,000 was satisfied by the release of the principal of the loan of £75,000 included in creditors at 31 January 2026 (see Loans and Borrowings note); £1,875 was credited to share capital and £73,125 to share premium.
Following the allotment the issued share capital is £3,125 (800 A ordinary, 450 B ordinary and 1,875 C ordinary shares of £1 each). Mr Szczypulkowski holds 60% of the issued shares and 75% of the voting rights, and he was appointed a director of the company on the same date. New articles of association were adopted and a new shareholders' agreement was entered into on completion.
The conversion of the loan principal into share capital increased the company's equity by £75,000 without any cash receipt.
