Application for Admission

Tarsus announces that in order to satisfy valid applications for the scrip dividend alternative in relation to its 2010 final dividend of 4p per ordinary share of 5p each ("Ordinary Shares"), on 6 July 2011 the Company issued and allotted 12,431 Ordinary Shares. Elections under the Scrip Dividend Alternative were received from 88 shareholders in respect of 543,029 Ordinary Shares (representing approximately 0.63 per cent. of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company).

An application has been made for the 12,431 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to the Official List of the UKLA and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities ("Admission"). Admission is expected to take place on 12 July 2011.

Subsequent to this allotment, the total number of Ordinary Shares of the Company in issue as at the date of this notice is 86,832,572 with each Ordinary Share carrying the right to one vote. There are no Ordinary Shares held in Treasury. The total number of voting rights in the Company is therefore 86,832,572.

The above figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in Tarsus under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
