BY SIGNING THIS BOX I/WE DECLARE THAT I/WE AM/ARE MAKING THE APPLICATION FOR OPEN OFFER SHARES ON THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET OUT IN THIS APPLICATION FORM ON PAGE 2 AND IN THE CIRCULAR (INCLUDING THE UNDERTAKINGS, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES SET OUT IN THIS APPLICATION FORM AND THE CIRCULAR).

PAGE 2

To the Directors of OTAQ Plc (the "Company") and Dowgate Capital Limited ("Dowgate"):

  1. I/We being the registered holder(s) at the close of business on 11 October 2022 (the "Record Date") of the number of Existing Ordinary Shares set out in Box 2 (or the beneficial owners of any of those shares by virtue of a bona fide market claim), hereby irrevocably apply to subscribe at the Issue Price for the number of Open Offer Shares in Box 7, and agree to accept the same on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the Circular and this Application Form and subject to the Articles of Association of the Company. If no number is inserted in Box 7 (or if a number is inserted in Box 7 which is inconsistent with the amount of the remittance accompanying this Application Form and shown in Box 8), I/we agree that I/we shall be deemed to have applied for the lesser of (a) the number of Open Offer Shares shown in Box 7 or (b) such number of Open Offer Shares at 4p per Open Offer Share as is covered by the remittance which accompanies this Application Form.
  2. Subject to paragraph 1, should I/we have applied for a greater number of Open Offer Shares in Box 7 than my/our pro rata entitlement set out in Box 3, then I/we acknowledge and agree that the actual number of Open Offer Shares applied for by me/us may be scaled back in the event that applications received from Qualifying Shareholders are in excess of the available number of Open Offer Shares.
  3. I/We enclose a sterling cheque or banker's draft payable in pounds sterling in favour of "Share Registrars Limited Receiving Agent Account" and crossed "A/C Payee only" for the amount inserted in Box 8, being the amount payable in full on application for the number of Open Offer Shares for which I/we have applied.
  4. In consideration of your agreeing to accept this application to subscribe for the Open Offer Shares applied for, or deemed to be applied for, in accordance with the provisions of this Application Form, upon and subject to, the terms and conditions set out herein and in the Circular I/we undertake that this application shall be irrevocable and agree that the completion and return of this Application Form and accompanying payment shall constitute a conditional contract between me/us and you, which shall become binding upon receipt by Share Registrars Limited of this Application Form and the accompanying payment and the satisfaction of the conditions to which the Open Offer is subject. I/We acknowledge that you reserve the right to treat any application not complying strictly with the terms and conditions of application as nevertheless valid.
  5. I/We acknowledge that the Company reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to reject any application or purported application under the Open Offer in the circumstances described in Part III of the Circular entitled "Terms and conditions of the Open Offer".
  6. I/We request and authorise the Company and/or its agents to credit my/our CREST Stock Account with the appropriate number of Open Offer Shares or to send to me/us a definitive certificate in respect of the Open Offer Shares for which this application is accepted, together with a certificate for the Warrants granted to me, by post at my/our risk either to the address above or, if the name and address of my/our agent is inserted in Box 12, to my/our agent at such address as appropriate and to procure my/our name(s) to be placed on the share register and warrant register respectively of the Company. I/We acknowledge that pending despatch of definitive share certificates, transfers will be certified against the share register of the Company. I/We acknowledge that, notwithstanding that Box 13 may be completed or that I/we may hold my/our Existing Ordinary Shares in a CREST Stock Account, the Company and its agents reserve the right to issue Open Offer Shares in certificated form. I/We acknowledge that if the Open Offer Shares for which application is made are credited to my/our CREST Stock Account then I/we will not be sent a share certificate, confirmation of the credit to the CREST Stock Account or any other written communication from the Company in respect of its issue of the Open Offer Shares.
  7. I/We authorise the Company and/or its agents to present the enclosed cheque or banker's draft on receipt and to withhold definitive share certificates and warrant certificates or to withhold crediting my/our CREST Stock Account pending clearance thereof. In the event that any of the conditions of the Open Offer set out in the Circular are not fulfilled or waived by 8.00 a.m. on 9 November 2022, or such later time and date as the Company and/or Dowgate may agree (not being later than 8.00 a.m. on 22 November 2022), I/we authorise you or your agent to return such application monies without interest, to me/us by post at my/our risk either to the address set out on page 1, or to the name and address of my/our agent if inserted in Box 12 as soon as practicable thereafter.
  8. In the event that the number of Open Offer Shares applied for by me/us is scaled back in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Open Offer, I/we authorise the Company or its agents to return that part of the application money which relates to the excess Open Offer Shares not allotted to me/us as a result of the scaling back without payment of interest to me/us by post at my/our risk either to the address given above or to the agent whose name appears in Box 12.
  9. I/We acknowledge that due completion of this Application Form accompanied by a cheque or banker's draft constitutes a warranty on my/our part that the cheque or banker's draft will be honoured on first presentation and that this shall constitute a fundamental term of the application and that this application may be deemed invalid if such cheque or banker's draft is not so honoured. I/We acknowledge that you reserve the right to instruct Share Registrars Limited to seek special clearance of cheques to allow the Company to obtain value for remittances at the earliest opportunity.
  10. I/We acknowledge that the dates and times referred to in this Application Form may be altered by the Company and Dowgate so as to be consistent with the Placing and Open Offer Agreement (as the same may be altered from time to time in accordance with its terms).
  11. I/We represent and warrant that I/we am/are:
    1. not resident in a Restricted Jurisdiction, or a citizen or resident of, or a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organised in or under any laws of any such jurisdiction, or an estate or trust the income of which is subject to income taxation of any such jurisdiction, regardless of its source, and that I/we was/were not in any such jurisdiction at the time of my/our application herein and that I/we am/are not applying on behalf of any person in any such jurisdiction or with a view to the offer, sale, resale, delivery or transfer of Open Offer Shares directly to or into any such jurisdiction; or
    2. not (a) person(s) otherwise prevented by legal or regulatory restrictions from applying for Open Offer Shares under the Open Offer; or
    3. not acting on behalf of any such person(s) on a non-discretionary basis; or
    4. in making this application not relying on information or a representation relating to the Company other than that contained in the Circular; or
    5. not in breach of the provisions of paragraph 1 under "Instructions for Transfer, Splitting and Consolidation" on page 3 of this Application Form; or
    6. not located inside the United States and am/are not acting for the account or benefit of a person located within the United States at the time the undertaking to subscribe for Open Offer Shares was given and am/are not acquiring the Open Offer Shares with a view to the offer, sale, resale, transfer, delivery or distribution, directly or indirectly, of any Open Offer Shares in the United States.
  1. I/We represent and warrant that, except where the extension or availability of the Open Offer would not breach any applicable laws or regulations I/we have not received from or sent copies of this Application Form into the United States, Canada or any other Restricted Jurisdiction and I/we have not otherwise utilised in connection with the Open Offer, directly or indirectly, the mail or any other means of instrumentality (including without limitation email, facsimile, transmission, telex or telephone) of interstate or foreign commerce or any facilities of a national securities exchange of the United States, Canada or any other Restricted Jurisdiction or any other jurisdictions.
  2. I/We acknowledge that, subject to the exceptions set out in the Circular, no application will be treated as valid which is received in an envelope postmarked in, or which otherwise appears to the Company or its agents to have been despatched in or from the United States, Canada or any other Restricted Jurisdiction or any other jurisdiction where the extension or availability of the Open Offer would breach any applicable laws or regulations for registration or issue of certificates representing Open Offer Shares or Warrants and that the Company reserves the right to treat an Application Form as invalid if it believes the making of such an application may violate any legal or regulatory requirements in any jurisdiction.
  3. I/We represent and warrant that I/we am/are not, and nor am/are I/we applying as a nominee or agent for, a person who is or may be liable to notify and account for tax under the Stamp Duty Reserve Tax Regulations 1986 at any of the increased rates referred to in section 67 (depository receipts), section 70 (clearance services), section 93 (depository receipts) or section 96 (clearance services) of the Finance Act 1986.
    Note: If you cannot give the warranties in 11, 12 and 14 you may not make this application.
  4. The verification of identity requirements of the Money Laundering Regulations 2017 as set out in Part III of the Circular will apply and verification of the identity of applicants may be required. I/We represent and warrant that on request by Share Registrars Limited I/we will provide Share Registrars Limited with such information and other evidence as they may require to satisfy the verification of identity requirements and I/we acknowledge that failure to provide the relevant information within a reasonable period of time following a request for verification of identity may result in rejection of the application in which event the monies payable on application will be returned, without interest, to the account at the drawee bank from which such monies were originally debited.
  5. I/We agree that, having had the opportunity to read the Circular, I/we shall be deemed to have had notice of all the information concerning the Company contained therein.
  6. I/We acknowledge that no person responsible solely or jointly for the Circular or any part thereof or involved in the preparation thereof shall have any liability for any information not contained in the Circular.

If you wish to apply for more than your pro rata entitlement please also complete Box 6. All joint holders must sign. If you do not wish to apply for any Open Offer Shares, you need take no further action but in any event you are urged to complete and return the Form of Proxy.
  2. Your pro rata entitlement is shown in Box 3. If you wish to apply for more Open Offer Shares than your pro rata entitlement, then enter in Box 6 the number of additional Open Offer Shares you would like to apply for and enter the relevant amount payable in Box 8. Excess applications will be satisfied to the extent that they comply with the restriction on the maximum number of Open Offer Shares that can be applied for and to the extent that corresponding applications by other Qualifying Shareholders are not made or are made in aggregate for less than the total number of Open Offer Shares being offered by the Company. However, applications under the Excess Application Facility may be scaled back in such manner as the Directors determine if applications are received for more than the available Open Offer Shares.
  3. Cheques and banker's drafts must be drawn in sterling on an account with a bank or building society in the United Kingdom, Channel Islands or Isle of Man, which is either a settlement member of the Cheque and Credit Clearing Company Limited or the CHAPS Clearing Company Limited, or which has arranged for its cheques or banker's drafts to be cleared through the facilities provided by the members of either of those companies or committees and must bear the appropriate sort code in the top right hand corner and must be for the full amount payable on application. Cheques which must be drawn on the personal account of the individual investor where they have sole or joint title to the funds, should be made payable to "Share Registrars Ltd Receiving Agent Account" and crossed "A/C payee only". Third party cheques will not be accepted with the exception of building society cheques or banker's drafts where the building society or bank has confirmed the name of the account holder by endorsing the cheque/banker's draft to such effect. The account name should be the same as that shown on the application. No receipt will be given in respect of this Application Form. Application monies will be kept in a separate non-interest bearing bank account pending the Open Offer becoming unconditional.

  5. An individual must sign this Application Form. IN THE CASE OF JOINT HOLDERS, ALL MUST SIGN.

  9. The attention of Overseas Shareholders is drawn to Part III of the Circular and, in particular, to the matters set out therein under the heading "Overseas Shareholders". This Application Form is not being sent to Shareholders in the United States or with registered addresses in the United States, Canada or any other Restricted Jurisdiction unless such Shareholder satisfies the Company that an allotment is permitted under an exemption from applicable securities laws. This Application Form and the Circular may not be treated as an invitation to any Shareholders in any such jurisdictions to subscribe for any Open Offer Shares. Other than as set out in the preceding sentence, no person receiving a copy of the Circular and/or this Application Form in any territory other than the United Kingdom may treat the same as constituting an invitation or offer to him to subscribe, nor should he in any event use this Application Form unless in the relevant territory such an invitation or offer to subscribe could lawfully be made to such person or such Application Form could lawfully be used without contravention of any registration or other legal requirements. It is the responsibility of any person outside the United Kingdom wishing to make an application hereunder to satisfy himself as to full observance of the laws of the relevant territory in connection therewith, including obtaining any governmental or other consents which may be required or observing any other formalities needing to be observed in such territory and submission of an Application Form will constitute a warranty by you that you have complied with all such regulatory requirements. The Company reserves the right to treat as invalid any Application Form that appears to it or its agents to have been executed or despatched in a manner which may involve a breach of securities legislation of any jurisdiction.
  10. It is expected that certificates in respect of Open Offer Shares and Warrants will be despatched to the registered address of the sole or first named Shareholder shown on page 1 or, where Box 10 has been completed, to the address of the person shown in Box 11 by no later than 23 November 2022. It is expected that the relevant Open Offer Shares will be credited to the relevant CREST Stock Account on 9 November 2022.
  11. All applications in respect of the Open Offer, all acceptances thereof and all contracts resulting from such acceptances shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law.

The Application Form should not, however, be forwarded, transmitted or distributed in or into the United States, Australia, the Republic of South Africa, New Zealand, Russia, Canada or Japan or any of their territories or possessions or any other overseas jurisdiction unless in the relevant territory such an invitation or offer to subscribe could lawfully be made to such person or such Application Form could lawfully be used without contravention of any registration or other legal requirements. Box 11 and (or, if applicable) Box 13 must be completed and signed by the person(s) to whom the Existing Ordinary Shares have been sold or transferred if he or she wishes to apply on this Application Form for Open Offer Shares.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR DEPOSITING ENTITLEMENTS UNDER THE OPEN OFFER INTO CREST

  1. The entitlements under the Open Offer shown by the Open Offer Entitlements set out in Box 3 of this Application Form may be converted into uncertificated form, that is, deposited into CREST (whether you are the registered holder of the Existing Ordinary Shares set out in Box 2 or are entitled to the Open Offer Entitlements in Box 3 by virtue of a bona fide market claim). Subject as provided in paragraph 2 below, normal CREST procedures (except for the last time for stock deposits) apply in relation to any such conversion. You are recommended to refer to the CREST Manual for details of such procedures. If you are a CREST sponsored member, you should contact your CREST sponsor.
  2. If you are the registered holder(s) of the Existing Ordinary Shares set out in Box 2 the CREST Deposit Form contained in Box 13 should be completed and then this Application Form be deposited by you or your CREST sponsor (as appropriate) with the CREST Courier and Sorting Service ("CCSS"). In addition, the normal CREST Stock Deposit procedures will need to be carried out, except that (a) it will not be necessary to complete and lodge a separate CREST Transfer Form (prescribed under the Stock Transfer Act 1963) with the CCSS and (b) only the total number of the Open Offer Entitlements shown in Box 3 of this Application Form may be deposited into CREST. You may deposit some only of the Open Offer Entitlements shown in Box 3 of this Application Form into CREST where you have sold part of your existing holding of Existing Ordinary Shares prior to 6.00 p.m. on 11 October 2022 only once you have applied for a split Application Form in accordance with the instructions in the paragraph headed "Instructions for Transfer, Splitting and Consolidation" above. If you are entitled to the Open Offer Entitlements shown in Box 3 by virtue of a bona fide market claim, the declaration in Box 10 must have been completed or (in the case of a split Application Form) marked "Declaration of Sale duly made", and then the CREST Deposit Form in Box 13 completed and the form deposited with the CCSS in accordance with the instructions above. If entitlements under the Open Offer represented by more than one Application Form received in settlement of bona fide market claims are to be deposited, the CREST Deposit Form in Box 13 on each Application Form letter must be completed and the forms deposited. Box 10 on each Application Form must have been completed by the registered holder(s) whose name(s) appear in Box 1 but the Consolidation Listing Form should not be used.
  3. A holder of the Open Offer Entitlements shown in Box 3 of this Application Form who is proposing to convert such entitlements into uncertificated form (whether they are to be converted into uncertificated form in the name(s) of the registered holder of the Existing Ordinary Shares set out in Box 1 or in the name of the beneficial owner of any of those existing Existing Ordinary Shares by virtue of a bona fide market claim) should ensure that the conversion procedures are implemented in sufficient time to enable the person holding or acquiring the Open Offer Entitlements in CREST following the conversion to take all necessary steps in connection with applying under the Open Offer prior to 11.00 a.m. on 28 October 2022. In particular, having regard to processing times in CREST and on the part of Share Registrars Limited, the latest time for depositing an Application Form with the CCSS if you are entitled by virtue of a bona fide market claim (in order to enable you to take all necessary steps in connection with applying under the Open Offer prior to 11.00 a.m. on 28 October 2022) is 3.00 p.m. on 25 October 2022.
  4. When Box 10 and the CREST Deposit Form have been duly signed, the title to the Open Offer Entitlements shown in Box 3 of this Application Form will cease forthwith to be transferable by delivery and you will be unable to satisfy a claim to apply under the Open Offer by delivery of this Application Form. Furthermore, entries in Box 11 will not be recognised or acted upon by Share Registrars Limited. All transfers of the Open Offer Entitlements to satisfy bona fide market claims must be effected through the means of the CREST system once such rights have been deposited into CREST.
  5. NOTE: Deposit of this Application Form with (a) the CREST Deposit Form in Box 13 duly completed purporting to be signed by the person(s) whose name(s) appear(s) in Box 1 or (b) Box 10 on page 4, duly signed by the person(s) whose name(s) appear(s) in Box 1 or marked "Declaration of Sale duly made" and the CREST Deposit Form in Box 13 duly completed shall be conclusive evidence in favour of the Company and Share Registrars Limited of: (i) the right of the person(s) named in the CREST Deposit Form to be registered as the holder(s) of the Open Offer Entitlements shown in Box 3 of this Application Form; and (ii) the authority of the person(s) completing Box 10 (if appropriate) or the CREST Deposit Form in Box 13. All documents will be despatched by post at the risk of the person(s) entitled to them.
