Further Response to Science Group Offer

The Board of Frontier notes the most recent announcement by Science Group plc ("Science Group") of 12 July 2019 in relation to the offer by Science Group for the issued and to be issued share capital of Frontier at a price of 35p per share (the "Science Group Offer") and, in particular, the statements made in that announcement about events following the meeting of principals and advisers on 10 July at which the parties agreed verbally that Science Group would increase its offer price to 37p per share (the "Improved Offer") conditional upon the Board of Frontier agreeing to recommend the Improved Offer.

The Board of Frontier reiterates that, since the meeting on 10 July, it has been ready to recommend the Improved Offer from Science Group and has not at any stage sought to rescind key conditions of the verbal agreement. Instead, having acknowledged that all key commercial terms are in fact agreed, Science Group seeks to rely upon clarification of share option (and JSOP) arrangements and prior negotiation of the terms of the statutory merger agreement as obstacles to honouring the terms of the verbal agreement. The Board of Frontier would point out to Shareholders that Science Group referenced within its offer document of 2 July 2019 that it only intends to implement the statutory merger agreement as soon as practicable after the Science Group Offer has become wholly unconditional.

Science Group's announcement of 12 July states inter alia that: "for the avoidance of doubt, Science Group does not anticipate increasing its Offer"; and that "The closing date for the Science Group Offer is Tuesday 16 July 2019. At the present time, Science Group does not anticipate extending the Offer, nor the Panmure Gordon Trading Facility, but retains the option to do so if considered appropriate at the sole discretion of the Science Group Board." Notwithstanding these clear statements, within two hours of issuing this statement, Science Group reached out through advisers with a view to re-opening discussions in relation to a recommended offer at an intermediate offer price of 36p per share - a position inconsistent with the statements made in the announcement. Nothwithstanding that, the Board of Frontier continues to stand ready to recommend the Improved Offer and repeats its invitation to the Board of Science Group to work with the Board of Frontier to deliver the Improved Offer for the benefit of all Shareholders.

In the meantime, the Frontier Board strongly recommends that Shareholders neither accept the Science Group Offer on its current terms, per the offer document distributed to shareholders on 2 July 2019, nor sell any Frontier shares via the Panmure Gordon dealing facility. In doing so, the Frontier Board observes that discussions with major Frontier shareholders lead it to the conclusion, whatever the outcome of the Science Group Offer, that it commands the support of a blocking minority of shareholders sufficient to prevent either the implementation of a statutory merger or the delisting of the Company's shares from trading on AIM.

A further announcement will be made as and when appropriate.
