The Draw Down has been undertaken at a price of £0.004801 per share in accordance with the terms of the SEDA, and will result in the issue of 165,015,665 new ordinary shares of US$0.00004 each in the Company ("New Ordinary Shares"). This funding will be used to advance work programs of the Company and for general working capital purposes.

Application has been made for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM, which is anticipated to occur on 9 March 2016 ("Admission"). The New Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with existing shares of common stock of the Company.

Following Admission, the Company will have 3,776,363,695 ordinary shares in issue with voting rights. The Company does not hold any ordinary shares in treasury and accordingly there are no voting rights in respect of any treasury shares. The aforementioned figure of 3,776,363,695 ordinary shares may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company, under the disclosure requirements applicable to the Company.
