The Company has also granted a further 18,300,000 Options to existing employees.
The new Options will have an exercise price of 2.8 pence, being the closing mid-market price on the 16 June 2011.
The Company's Remuneration Committee believes the above grant of new Options will align the Directors' interests with those of Shareholders.

Following the issue of the new Options, as set out above, the total number of Ordinary Shares under option which could be issued if all of the performance criteria are met are 113,771,648 Ordinary Shares.
