Vesting of Options
Their performance period having elapsed, options over shares of 10p each in the Company ("Shares") granted to Mr. David Hudd and Mr. John Foster on 14 July 2009, Chairman and Managing Director of FIH respectively, have now vested. Mr. Hudd and Mr. Foster received 43,598 and 44,450 options respectively, the total vested being 88,048 options. Options over 852 Shares that have not vested have therefore lapsed.

Mr. Hudd, Mr. Foster and an employee of the Company were today granted options at a price of 404 pence (the "Exercise Price") per Share over 61,881, 76,700 and 14,851 Shares respectively. The Exercise Price is the closing price of the Company's Shares on the 10(th) of August, the dealing day preceding the date of grant.
Options granted under the Scheme may normally only be exercised subject to the satisfaction of performance criteria relating to the Company's total shareholder return ("TSR") over the three year period commencing on the date of grant ("the performance period") relative to the TSR of all companies in the FTSE AIM All-Share Index over the performance period.
