Following the appointment of new members of the Board and completion of the £800,000 placing on 16 February 2015, the Board has resolved to grant options to subscribe for up to 43,115,259 new ordinary shares (representing 10 per cent. of the Company's ordinary share capital as at today's date). The options are exercisable at 0.232p per share at any time up to 16 February 2021 subject to a condition that no option may be exercised if such exercise would trigger a requirement to make an offer under Rule 9 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers.

Richard Armstrong | 8,623,051 |
Colin Weinberg | 8,623,051 |
Up to 17,246,106 of the options are reserved for future grant but no director has any interest in such options unless or until a grant is made (which will be the subject of an announcement at the relevant time).

The Company has issued and allotted 2,155,172 new ordinary shares of 0.025p each at a price of 0.232p per share to its joint broker, Peterhouse Corporate Finance Limited, pursuant to the terms of its engagement letter.
