COMPANY BUSINESS (INCLUDING MAIN COUNTRY OF OPERATION) OR, IN THE CASE OF AN INVESTING COMPANY, DETAILS OF ITS INVESTING POLICY). IF THE ADMISSION IS SOUGHT AS A RESULT OF A REVERSE TAKE-OVER UNDER RULE 14, THIS SHOULD BE STATED:

The Company is proposing to acquire, subject to shareholder approval, the issued share capital of SalvaRx Limited ("SalvaRx") not already owned by it for an aggregate consideration of £8.8 million to be satisfied by the issue of new ordinary shares in the Company. The acquisition constitutes a reverse takeover under AIM Rule 14 and, if approved by shareholders, will have the effect of changing the status of the Company from an investing company to an operating company. The so enlarged group's operations would thereafter constitute exclusively those of SalvaRx and its subsidiary iOx Therapeutics Limited ("iOx").

SalvaRx's objective is to build a drug development business focused on the specialist area of cancer immunotherapy. Its only material asset is a 60.49 per cent. interest in iOx which was formed by Oxford University and the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research. iOx is developing compounds under licence from the Ludwig Institute that have been found to have the ability to activate invariant natural killer T-cells, which scientists suggest play a crucial role in anti-cancer immune responses.

SalvaRx is actively screening for further acquisitions or investments in cancer immunotherapy and complementary areas of oncology.

The Company subscribed for an 11.14 per cent. interest in SalvaRx in September 2015. The other shareholders of SalvaRx are Jim Mellon and Dr Greg Bailey, who are both directors and (directly and indirectly) substantial shareholders of the Company.
