Related Party Transactions

Jupiter Asset Management Limited ("Jupiter") has agreed to subscribe for 3,600,000 Placing Shares as part of the Placing. Jupiter is a related party of the Company for the purposes of the AIM Rules by virtue of their status as a substantial shareholder of the Company. The Directors consider, having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, finnCap, that the terms of the Placing with such related party are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.

General Meeting and Admission

The Fundraising is conditional, inter alia, upon the passing of the Resolutions at the General Meeting and upon the relevant Admission becoming effective (placing of the EIS/VCT Placing Shares is conditional upon, inter alia, receipt of Advanced Assurance from HMRC in respect of VCT and EIS qualification and EIS/VCT Admission and the subscription of the General Placing Shares and Subscription Shares is conditional upon, inter alia, EIS/VCT Admission and General Admission).

Upon Admission the Enlarged Issued Share Capital is expected to be 142,486,522 Ordinary Shares. On this basis, the New Ordinary Shares will represent approximately 17.83 per cent. of the Company's Enlarged Issued Share Capital.

Application will be made for the 25,400,000 New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. Subject to the Resolutions having been passed and the Placing Agreement not having been terminated in accordance with its terms, it is anticipated that:

· admission of the 8,400,000 EIS/VCT Placing Shares will occur at 8.00 a.m. on or around 19 July 2018; and

· admission of the 15,443,282 General Placing Shares and 1,556,718 Subscription Shares will occur at 8.00 a.m. on or around 20 July 2018.
