In addition, the Company confirms that it has issued a total of 2,317,000 Ordinary Shares (the "New Ordinary Shares") to certain employees as part of equity incentive arrangements.
Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the New Ordinary Shares, which will rank pari passu with the Company's existing Ordinary Shares, to be admitted to trading on AIM, and admission is expected to become effective on 23 June 2014.
Following admission of the New Ordinary Shares, the Company will have 321,777,156 Ordinary Shares outstanding. The figure of 321,777,156 Ordinary Shares 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 change their interest in, the Company under the Financial Services Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
1,000,000 of the New Ordinary Shares are subject to the lock-in arrangements detailed in paragraph 6.2 of Part VII of the Admission Document dated 17 December 2013 and the remaining 1,317,000 New Ordinary Shares may not be disposed of in any manner prior to the third anniversary of their issuance date.
