The Company today announces that, on 16 April 2015, a total of 25,880 ordinary shares of 1p ("Ordinary Shares") were allotted to Paul Schmidt, Chief Executive Officer, in satisfaction of a half share of his (net) cash bonus for 2014. The quantum of shares allotted was based on the closing middle market price of 111.5p derived from the Daily Official List on 15 April 2015 and the exchange rate of $1: £0.68012 prevailing at that time.

Application has been made for 25,880 Ordinary Shares (the 'New Shares') to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's AIM market for listed securities ("Admission") and admission is expected to occur on 27 April 2015.
