FALLERS

It is uncertain what the terms will be and how dilutive it could be for shareholders. The share price slumped a further 58% to 1.85p and it has fallen 93% this year.

However, Cavendish has reduced its expectations for growth in 2023-24 revenues from 34% to 28% following the latest guidance from the company.
