63,750 new ordinary shares of £0.0002 each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") have been issued as a result of an exercise of employee share options.

In addition, the Company has issued 180 new Ordinary Shares to the trustee of the Company's Franchisee Benefit Trust for the purpose of satisfying the vesting of awards granted under the Company's Franchisee Incentive Plan.

As such, application has been made for 63,930 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and it is expected that admission will take place on 9 February 2017. The new Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the Company's existing Ordinary Shares.

Following allotment of the new Ordinary Shares, the total issued share capital of the Company will consist of 172,573,768 Ordinary Shares with one voting right per share.

The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in Treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 172,573,768. This figure 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 Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
