In accordance with the provisions of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority, the Company confirms that, following this issue, its issued share capital will comprise 22,039,315 Ordinary Shares of 1p each. All of the Ordinary Shares have equal voting rights. The total number of voting rights in the Company is therefore 22,039,315.

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 share capital of the Company under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
