In addition, Tom Charlton, a substantial shareholder of the Company, has agreed to subscribe for 2,600,000 Subscription Shares. Following Admission, Mr Charlton will be beneficially interested in a total of 19,238,397 ordinary shares, equivalent to 14.69 per cent. of the enlarged issued share capital of the Company.
The Directors' aggregated participation in the Subscription constitutes a related party transaction in accordance with the AIM Rules.

In advising the Independent Director, Merchant Securities Limited has relied upon the commercial assessment of the Independent Director.
Application will be made for the Subscription Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. Admission is expected to become effective and dealings are expected to commence on AIM on 3 October 2011. Following the issue of the Subscription Shares, the Company will have 130,946,746 ordinary shares in issue.
