The Company has issued and allotted 2,777 new ordinary shares of 1p each pursuant to the exercise of options.

Accordingly, an application has been made for 2,777 new ordinary shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and it is expected that admission will take place on 17 February 2017.

The new ordinary shares will rank pari passu with the existing shares of the Company.

Following Admission, the Company's enlarged issued share capital will comprise 96,150,921 ordinary shares with one voting right per share. No shares are held in Treasury. The total number of voting rights in the Company is therefore 96,150,921.
