Director Dealing

Further to the announcement by FastForward Innovations Limited (AIM: FFWD) on 11 January 2016, the Company is pleased to announce that it has today agreed to place 37,426,901new Ordinary Shares of 1p each (the "Placing Shares") at a price of 15p per Placing Share with a number of new and existing investors thereby raising US$8 million(£5,614,035 at an exchange rate of £1:US$1.425, being the rate on the date the Company determined the terms of the placing)before expenses (the "Placing"). The proceeds of the Placing will be used to assist the Company in making investments in accordance with its investing policy and for general working capital purposes.

In accordance with the terms of subscription letters signed by investors, payment for the Placing Shares is due by 5 February 2016. Subject to payment, application for the Placing Shares (which will rank paripassu with the existing Ordinary Shares) to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission") will be made with dealings expected to commence at 8.00 a.m. on 11 February2016.

The Company expects that the enlarged issued share capital following the issue of the Placing Shares will be 134,108,445Ordinary Shares (the "Enlarged Issued Share Capital").

Commenting on the Placing, Chief Executive Officer Mr.Lorne Abony noted:

"I am delighted to close the Placing today at a premium to our market price. The Placing was significantly over-subscribed. The fact that the Placing was over-subscribed is a very positive indicator for FFWD, given the global market conditions and the fact that we did not offer this placing to institutional investors. In addition,we are pleased to note a number of high profile placees, well known in the market as "smart money" investors, including Gigi Levy-Weiss, Norbert Teufelberger, Jim Mellon, Stephen Dattels and Russell Geyser; all of whom I believe will add considerably to FastForward as it grows its capital base and investment pipeline over the coming months."

Mr Lorne Abony, Mr Stephen Dattels and Mr Jim Mellon(who are each Directors of the Company) have participated in the Placing. The participation of the Directors is as set out below:
