Under the Free Share agreement, employees (including the Directors), who have worked for the Company for three months, may be awarded up to £3,000 worth of Ordinary Shares in the Company in any one tax year.

Andrew Bell, Chairman, states: "Successive governments have promoted SIPs and the concept of wider share ownership. Few companies have risen to the challenge of creating employee share ownership schemes because of the effort needed to set them up. We are confident that remunerating employees in this way will increase their long term commitment to the success of the business and help us build a better company".

Application is being made to AIM for 3,789,458 new Ordinary Shares allotted in relation to the SIP Free Shares for 2012/13 tax year to be admitted to trading on AIM. Admission of the 3,789,458 new Ordinary Shares is expected on 13 August 2012.

Following the issue of the 3,789,458 new Ordinary Shares the issued share capital of the Company consists of 887,939,272 ordinary shares of 0.1p each with voting rights. No Ordinary Shares are held in treasury.

The above figure of 887,939,272 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 Company under the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
