The Company has received a notice to exercise warrants over 90,469 ordinary shares of no par value ("Ordinary Shares") at an exercise price of 156 pence per Ordinary Share.

Following the exercise of the warrants, NewRiver's share capital will consist of 180,317,925 ordinary shares of no par value, of which 479,345 ordinary shares are held in treasury. The total number of voting rights in the share capital of the Company, excluding treasury shares, is therefore 179,838,580
The above figure (179,838,580) 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 in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
Following the exercise, the total warrants outstanding currently have rights to subscribe for 573,900 shares.
