Ordinary Shares:

On 18 August 2023, the company issued 125,000,000 new ordinary shares at 0.1p as a result of placing of shares that raised gross proceeds of £125,000. The funds raised provide the Company with additional working capital.

On 27 March 2024, 26,000,000 ordinary shares at 0.1p per ordinary share were issued in order to settle certain liabilities amounting to £26,000.

On 27 March 2024, a convertible loan note with an aggregate amount of £905,000 was fully converted into 226,250,000 ordinary shares at 0.4p per ordinary shares. Previously, in year 2022, the Company agreed with C C Johnson a consolidation and variation of terms of the two unsecured convertible loan notes and direct debt held by him. As a result of the consolidation and variation agreement, the total amount owed to C. C Johnson was converted into an unsecured convertible loan note with an aggregate amount of £905,000, which was set to expire on 31 July 2024 but was fully converted into equity during the year. Further to the conversion, C C Johnson has instructed the Company's Broker, Peterhouse Capital Limited ("Peterhouse") to immediately place the entirety of the 2022 Conversion Shares, at a price of £0.00044 per share (a 12% discount to the mid-market closing price of £0.0005 on 20 March 2024, the last practical date prior to this announcement), raising £99,550. Of the £99,550 total cash consideration received by C C Johnson for the 2022 Conversion Shares, £50,000 is to be subscribed for by P A Treadaway, Trafalgar's Chief Executive Officer, and £10,000 by G M Thorneycroft, the Company's Group Financial Director.

On 7 November 2024, C C Johnson issued a conversion notice to the Company in relation to the entirety of the £99,550 unsecured convertible loan notes held by him in the Company (the "2024 CLN"). As a result, and as per the original terms of the 2024 CLN, the Company has issued to C C Johnson 226,250,000 new Ordinary Shares at £0.00044 per ordinary share,

Historic loan notes with a nominal value of £600,000 and £200,000 respectively were rolled up into a new convertible loan note agreement in the year 2022 along with related party loans of £105,000 to create a new convertible loan note with a nominal value of £905,000. The liability in respect of this transaction was disclosed within directors loans above with a present value as at 31st March 2024 of £nil due to the conversion of the loan notes during the period.
