New Ordinary Shares to satisfy the exercise of these options will be admitted to trading on AIM under the Company's current blocklisting authority.
Following the transaction and for the purposes of the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules, the total number of Ordinary Shares in issue will be 22,882,745 with each share carrying the right to one vote. There are no shares held in treasury therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company at Admission will be 22,882,745.
