Sinclair IS Pharma plc

Appointment of General Counsel

London, 25 November 2014; Sinclair IS Pharma plc (SPH.L), ("Sinclair" or the "Group") the international specialty pharma company, is delighted to announce that Jayne Burrell will join the Group from 2 January 2015 as Group General Counsel and Company Secretary. Jayne was previously in the same role at Iceland Foods Limited. The Remuneration Committee has approved an allocation of 300 units (3.0% of total units) under the existing Sinclair IS Pharma plc 2011 Value Creation Plan ("VCP"). 1,275 VCP units remain unallocated.

The VCP was approved by shareholders at a general meeting in January 2011. VCP units have no value at grant but have the potential to convert into awards of nil-cost options. The VCP units entitle participants to share in 15% of the return created for shareholders above a hurdle, measured at five annual measurement dates over the VCP plan period. The first measurement date will follow publication of the Group's results for the year ended 30 June 2015, expected to be in September 2015. VCP units will only convert to awards of nil-cost options if the annual hurdle of 16% is achieved with a base price of 37p representing the initial starting point, 13.8% above the closing price on 24 November 2014. No payment has been made for the grant of these awards.

50% of any nil-cost options granted will become exercisable on the fifth measurement date with the remaining 50% of the options exercisable on the first anniversary of the fifth measurement date.

Additional details of the VCP scheme are set out in the Group's report and accounts to 30 June 2014 available on the Group's website.
