Following the Warrant Exercise, the Company's issued ordinary share capital will be 1,249,863,079 ordinary shares of 1 pence each.
The above figure of 1,249,863,079 may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company, under the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
