What the additional funds will be used for
The additional funds will be used for the purposes set out in the announcement dated 3 November 2026.
The original raise was tied to the IFM debt facility, with part of the proceeds earmarked for repayment and the balance for working capital, while directors’ participation needs a shareholder vote expected in mid-December.
A placement is a capital raising in which a company issues new shares to selected investors rather than offering them to all shareholders. When demand exceeds the initial amount, a company may take extra commitments on the same terms.
For SBZ shareholders, this means new capital arrives without a lengthy offer process, and the additional shares are issued on identical terms to the original Placement.

| New shares | 1.5 million fully paid ordinary shares | Same terms as the Placement |
